I really enjoy this bar, because it has a consistent stream of college kids, not townies that visit it. The specials are good, and so is the music and atmosphere at large. It also has super specials, like $2 pint night on Tuesdays, and Mason Jar Monday's. You can also always expect $1 o-bomb shots which are pretty fun. Wednesday's are my favorite day to go because of BFD's (Big F***** Drinks) that are $4 and come in awesome flavors.
Pros:
- College Crowd
- Great specials
- Kind wait staff
Cons:
- Can get really crowded on weekends
- Drinks aren't as strong as at the other bars unless you tip VERY well
Not a bad place to go... I went on a Wednesday night and wasn't expecting to find a lot of people but I was very wrong since the place was very busy. Bar tender was very quick even though he wasn't very friendly but at least I had no problem getting my drinks quick.... The music is alright and they have huge TV's in the bar so you can watch a game while enjoying 1.50 for rum an coke; of course not captain morgan or Bacardi but it wasn't that bad for the price. In my opinion one of the nicest bars around town and a very good place to come to have some drinks and hang out with friends or make new ones....
Review Source:Brothers is another campus bar with its small perks above the others. They have $2 pint nights on Tuesdays where you can order a pint of good beer and enjoy sipping on it. They have some micro brews as well as domestics. More recently they have implemented a Monday night special where you can buy Rolling Rock for very cheap, most likely trying to compete with Where Else's quarter beer night. Wednesday used to be very exciting for a group of friends and me because it is wing night. The wings used to be ten cents and you could get up to 30 of them, along with $1 Miller Highlifes all night. Those prices have gone up since the last time I went. They are still cheap, but for people who once experience the fruits of Wednesday nights at Brothers tend to be slightly bitter towards the change. Brothers has a nice atmosphere as far as campus bars ago. It has three stories to it, which is rare around the West Lafayette area. I've listed the three best nights of the week. You choose!
Review Source:One reason and one reason only this bar gets my props - Wednesday nights. They have 10 cent wings that are amazing, and dollar high life bottles. (they also have a goof fishbowl deal too).... weekdays in general at brothers are great, its easy to get a table and there are TVs all over for watching sports.
On the weekend it is a different story. This is a very narrow (but long) bar.... so it can be very hard to move around the place.... but once you find an open spot usually towards the back or upstairs its a pretty fun time. It can take a bit to get drinks because of this too...
I have never had a credit card issue like stated in the other review... and I go here all the time, but I do know a couple friends that did (this was over a year and a half ago) before they changed their credit card policy.
Tonight I decided that I hate this place more than I hate Stacks. And if I hate you more than I hate Stacks, that's REALLY bad as far as I'm concerned. The only people that come here are jocks, frat boys, and the girls that want to fuck them. The drinks are weak. Every weekend the place gets so packed that it take a half hour just to get around. The only night that I might even consider entertaining the thought of coming here is Wednesday when they have fishbowl night. Oh, and I don't recommend keeping a tab here. Pay with cash or immediately close out after paying with your card. One time I had a tab of $15 but they took $50 out of my bank account. They say they do it to "make sure the account is valid" but I think that's total bullshit. And yes, they do eventually correct it, but as far as I'm concerned, they should get it right the first time.
