As a local guide I feel it important to give honest reviews....... Having been a patron of the brig for a few years I finally decided to go through all the reviews that have been posted on Google...... I find it interesting that every review that was a negative review showed up at exactly the same time my many people who have never been to this bar....... Two and a half years of going to this bar I have never seen the bartenders exhibit any type of racist Behavior I have taken black friends in there Latino friends and never ever have they ever had any type of racial incidents... If you want to go to a good bar with a friendly people.. pool,. Darts. And affordable well-made drinks this is the place....

I’m not one for just sitting and drinking so I like that there are two pool tables, dice and hotspot. The place can close as early as 1 am if the bartender feels it’s not worth staying open. I get it as I’ve made the same call as a bartender. If you’re working alone you’re not inclined to sit around with the doors unlocked waiting for people who might straggle in at 1am. it means it’s not a dependable “last stop” for the night though. The inconsistency is why I dropped one star. *If you’re swing or overnight shift (or celebrating Sunderday) you may want to note that they start...
