Brew-Stirs Clintonville Tavern

Brew-Stirs is a good Clintonville dive bar. It's nothing special but it does the job. This is somewhere to get drunk real cheap and not feel like you're there to enjoy the taste. It may be nice going to cool bars or breweries but one times you just want to knock a few back. The happy hour is cheap but it's never expensive any time. It gets a good amount of regulars. It's not like the hipster places where the tourists and wannabes come to be seen. This is probably the cheapest bar between Clintonville and Worthington. It's about $10 for a few rounds. When you feel like getting hammered why go and shell out money on craft brew or cocktails when you just want it to get to your stomach. It's easy to get drunk and easy on your wallet. The bathrooms aren't as bad as they may be. It looks like they get cleaned occasionally. The karaoke and trivia nights are classic times. I sometimes just want to hurry to get fucked up so I stumble into Brew-Stirs. It's a don't you judge me kind of place. The worst thing is the throbbing in your head when you rise up.

A local neighborhood dive bar. I've heard of fist fights happening here but have never seen one in person.The drinks aren't expensive and the music isn't so loud you can't have a conversation with the person next to you. In fact, when I was there with three other people we had no problem conversing amongst us. Whomever is tending bar is attentive to make sure you don't get thirsty.Smoking section is in the back but sometimes smokers congregate out front so your clothes and hair can catch the smell on the way in.

There are some times this is a good place and sometimes it is not. I think a lot of your experience depends on how busy they are, who is working, and how their day is going. This definitely a neighborhood bar, the regulars dominate the floor, but provide a testament to Brewstirs longevity.The food is decent for the price, the beers are very cold, the bloody marys are great. Just one mans opinion but their mixed drinks seem to be very inconsistent from bartender to bartender; one time it was heavy, the next it is light, and you never know what will be in at as a mixer. The staff does a good job of keeping things clean inside, though their restrooms could use some more attention. They do a good job of bussing and keeping you drinking. The crowd is diverse and gerally accepting of anyone drinking beside them. Brewstirs is a good value for what it is and it doesn't try to be what it isn't. They are a strong three in my book.

Justin is a great bartender! He hustles from end to end to make sure everyone is served. I've been coming for karaoke Tuesday's for a month or so and it's a great atmosphere! The karaoke host is super nice and accommodating. I absolutely recommend hanging here with your buddies! Great prices and honest people.

Nice little bar. Each night there is something going on like free pool on Mondays. They have a DJ, karaoke, free juke box nights, and more. No drama and nice bartenders.

So I stopped in tonight after boycotting this place for some time. (Not sure what brought me in here) but I am happy I did. The atmosphere is the same, hole in the wall place. After this time I will be back again. The bar staff was nice and sociable and poured a nice drink. I had a much more welcome feeling in this bar. It is still very much a regulars bar so they are doing something right. It takes me a lot to change my mind on a bar, due to the amount of bars in my area, but I will be back!Good job BrewStirs Clintonville!!

This is your dive bar... Tuesday nights is Karaoke with DJ Psyn and the weekends boast DJ's

Honestly, I don't get the whole dive-bar obsession thing. I can appreciate a good dive close to home when I'm feeling schlubby, but seeking out dives for divey's sake is just not my bag. With that said, I give Brew-Stirs a high-end 3 star rating (which is saying a lot, because I would think a standard dive is "Meh" by definition). We were doing a Clintonville Bar Crawl, and Brew-Stirs ended up being my favorite for one particular reason: Bloody Marys. For $3.50. Good ones. The shape of the space is small enough to feel cozy with your neighbors but not so big to feel crowded. This would be a good day-drinking spot in bad weather. Plus, you're close to lots of other stuff. If I lived in this neighborhood, I'd be here more often.Bloody Marys, man.

I have been thinking about reviewing Brewstirs since the one time I finally made it in here oh about... two months ago. The boy told me not to review it because it's such a ridiculous place it doesn't deserve the review... but, I mean... clearly I just can't stop myself. Numerous people have told me that Brewstirs is where you go when you hate yourself. I don't actually think it's THAT bad - I can actually see how regulars would like this place... I just don't understand what would possess anyone to become a regular here. I say with with unabashed allegience to down-the-street O'Reillys, but also with the knowledge that everyone I have brought to O'Reilly's has instantly LOVED it, while the people I went to Brewstirs with all thought it was kinda gross and weird, and people I mention it to never have anything good to say, either. It reminds me of the bar I used to talk by every day in Chicago on my way to the 'El - which was open at 7am. Brewstirs is also open at 7am. So, you kinda gotta be a career drunk to love this place. I did go for Tues night karaoke, which was also terrifying yet the most amusing part of the experience. The lifers, mostly middle aged and very hard boiled with ill fitting stone washed jeans or similar get-ups, were all VERY serious about their renditions of Bon Jovi and Cat Stevens - whereas karaoke at all the other places I have been at is much more fun and MUCH less sad. Needless to say, we booked it outta there and headed to O'Reilly's.PS: A woman was drunk-crying at the bar and it was before 11pm. That is NEVER a good sign.

I was excited about the new Beechwold location ., But unfortunately it's ran by children and friends of those kids are allowed to hang out and act up. A table of drunk girls started yelling at us for no reason , and the bar crew did nothing about it . If you are use to going to a nice establishment don't go to this new location. Stick with the normal adult type bars. Let Brew-Stirs serve teen night , and the drunks of the area .
