had to order online but it only worked on Android devices, we tried on 3 other phones but it wouldn't go through. food was meh pretty average bar snacks. service was relatively fast. had about 2 dozen mosquito bites by the time I left would appreciate some bug spray like they do at a few other places around
The staff and ownership at this bar are incredible. We had an emergency and they all sprung into action immediately, providing water, ice and whatever else we needed (and refunding our tabs, which was extremely unnecessary). The owner even provided his contact info so we could provide him with updates of our situation. If you want to be in a safe environment where you will be cared for—go to the Brig!
Bad pub food and even worse service. The atmosphere was ok. Seems like a good place to stop for a beer but definitely don’t plan on eating here.
I went for happy hour with friends, and we got a few picnic tables outside. But that night was also trivia right next to us, and the announcer’s voice felt like it was in my ear. The volume was way too loud - especially since they had no more than 5 people actually playing the trivia. Otherwise, the beer was good and it was cool to spot a few congressmen.
The Brig is a lively beer garden that offers a taste of Germany with its liters of brews and traditional eats. The spacious patio is perfect for gathering with friends and family, while the QR code ordering system adds convenience. The German beer selection is noteworthy, providing an authentic experience. The family-friendly environment and plentiful TVs make it an ideal spot for sports enthusiasts. However, the beer selection and service fall short of expectations, lacking variety and efficiency. Despite this, the overall atmosphere and concept of The Brig create an enjoyable experience, particularly for those seeking a relaxed and casual beer garden setting.
I got the big pretzel and the chips and salsa and it was good to eat. The horseradish sauce is very hot so be careful. It cleared my nose right up
Great place! Tons of beers on tap and good food. They can accommodate groups of pretty much any size - the ordering is all digital, brought right to your table. You can keep your tab separate or easily combine it with others. The music was 90's alt-rock, which seemed to match the clientele.
Sports bar with 6 large screen tv’s broadcasting a variety of live games. Great for snacks and drinks while on the go. You order via an app - GoTab. This allows the staff to fill orders quicker than the usual ‘in person’ method. It was easy to use. The beer came quickly as did the food. The nachos could have had a bit more cheese as half of the chips were bare. The pretzel was REALLY GOOD as were the fries with malt vinegar. Portions were large. They have beer on tap and some in cans-they pour it in a glass for you. It’s an outdoor bar - most of seating is covered and the heaters do a good job of making it warm. Not upscale - very casual. If you are looking for fancy cocktails and appetizers, this is not the place. If you are looking for a no-fills sports bar, then look no further. The atmosphere was lively as it was busy for a Thursday.
