Brathaus

It's dive bar extraordinaire!Literally little change in 40 years. It's gotten a bit classier, but we can ignore that, if we try.Excellent college town watering hole with cheap beer specials. I beseech you, please don't order the legal joint without a dd, unless you're walking home. PRO TIP: In here, take care of the bartender, they'll take care of you. 07/24

Two Words: Legal Joints. Back in my day (heh, 15-20 years ago...) they only had one flavor, the OG, Orange. It has 5 liquors in it and tastes like an orange creamsicle. It fugggggs you up, hence the name "Legal Joint." Now Brathaus is fancy and has mango, peach, and raspberry flavors too. I couldn't bring myself to stray from the tried and true, but I'm sure they are equally as tasty.If you're ever in BG, stop by and have a drink. You can thank me later.

I came to this bar while visiting BGSU for the first time. If it's your first time at Brathaus, you gotta order the legal joint. It's not really like a real joint, but it's delicious, cheap, and will get you tipsy quickly. I wholly recommend ordering a water as well. The bar staff are extremely friendly, especially Ashley. The only reason this bar gets 4 instead of 5 stars is the men's bathroom. There's no toilet paper, and if there is a toilet seat, it's nowhere in the bathroom! Keep in mind this is the kind of thing that could get a business a 1 or 2 star rating, but Brathaus is so good that this isn't as much of an issue.Perfect place to start a barhopping adventure, since it's so close to campus.

I used to love this bar when it was a complete dive, but it changed ownership sometime in 2012, I think, and became a big Greek hangout. It used to get crowded on the weekends but after the switch it was almost impossible to walk through the place without having to squeeze between an Alpha Phi and a Pike who were tonguing each others' throats.There was one evening I stopped in with a group of my friends and it was pretty dead. I'd had a few drinks already and was shouting a line from a hilarious YouTube video when the new owner threatened to kick me out for not using my inside voice. One of my biggest regrets in life is not looking him dead in the eye and saying "I could care less about being in your ****** bar," then walking out, never to return again.I don't know what it's like anymore and I don't ever go there when I visit, and you shouldn't either because you can make your own legal joints at home.

I love brathaus! They are known for their 'legal joint' its a deadly cocktail you can get in two flavors...oj or cranberry. Have two of these and your night will be erased. Its a german inspired bar over 21 only... sorry underagers. They offer free popcorn and have old wooden booths to sit in. its a great place to talk among friends.

Amazing local bar that has been in Bowling Green for decades. Great atmosphere... Great owners.... Great bartenders. Cheap drinks and the famous "legal joints". Love visiting this bar when back in BG visiting friends and family.

This was on a Monday night and we were the only people in the bar except for some people in the back playing pool. My friend asked for a martini and the bartender said no because they didn't have martini glasses. She said she didn't mind. He said he still wouldn't make it. Then my other friend ordered a rum and coke and he gave it to her in a plastic cup. I like grimy dive bars, though, and I think it's cool when a place doesn't desperately need your business and won't cave in to ridiculous demands for such obscure drinks as martinis.

This is one of the staples of the BG bar scene. The "Legal Joint" is a strong mix of numerous alcohols that (much like a long island) will mess you up but doesn't taste strong. Watch them pour it- it is almost ALL alcohol with splashes of of non-alcoholic drinks. Pool tables in the back, popcorn is free, drinks are cheap, just a cool little dive bar that won't burst your eardrums with ghetto music.

Free popcorn, a cool atmosphere, and cheap (yummy) drinks. I couldn't complain.

Tom is the greatest bar back ever! Super friendly, great beard. He looks like he has a nice butt.
