Brownies Pub

Used to be my go to dive bar three years ago - You can smoke here, there aren't any real set prices (the bartenders just make them up and they pour generous hard liquor drinks if you are a regular), they have a juke box, pool table upstairs, dart board.Unforunately, the pandemic and times are changing this old staple - you can now no longer smoke here which they blamed on the pandemic however the bartender on Saturday informed me the establishment is seeing how "things" go with the no smoking and the updated bar. Which means to me they are panning to the new wave of customers and changing their dive bar waves (seeing if this generates more money $$$).I didn't have it in me to dock them more then 1 star but what I have learned in my life at the age of 38 is know who you are, know your values, don't force anything. To me it looks like this old time dive bar is changing and I do not like the changes being made.I will miss you Brownies. Good luck with your future business and customers, you will always have a spot in my heart.P.S You can still smoke at Paddy's pub which I immediately went to afterwards.

Weirdos and dirty. People rub up against you and others pan handle. Only went in there because the plough and the stars had no seats at the bar and brownies was the only other place with a Guinness sign. Mistake.

Very comfy dive bar, great to stop in when you're in old city. Drink prices are good and the vibe always relaxed or fun depending on the night. Bartender is great. Currently does not allow smoking inside. Pool table upstairs if you want to play, and darts downstairs.

What a great spot to have a drink and play pool. Fran the bartender is an absolute saint!

A great Neighborhood Place with good musicians that come play Duos trios and full bands. Local folks who love to get together and have a good time.

Love it here, but with pool costing $2 per game, I'd hope the table/cues would be better quality

Always chill and always a good time. Great people pop in and out. Wonderful ownership with amazing bartenders who care about the clientele, atmosphere and drinks they serve. You come often enough and aren't a major prick you could just make an extended family.

I've been going here for longer than I want to admit.Through waves of changes and still ... it is a place to have a beer and a cocktail.

For a Saturday night out, the Throwback dancing music was on point! Drinks weren't too weak either!

The ambiance of this pub was what we were looking for, however, the bartender was rude. Before asking us anything, the Bar tender asked for IDs. It felt that as younger patrons, our presence was irritating to the bartender and we were talked down to even though we were polite and respectful. Meanwhile, the older patrons were treated with the hospitality we were expecting. when my friend went and asked for a specific type of beer, the bartender sarcastically said "where do you see that beer!!??". While he still went on to recommend other beers, we did not feel welcome here.
