Bralie's Sports Bar 2

Bar

👍 A little off the beaten path dive bar. The place lacks any real identity, but that's OK. They have a few TVs. Game, tables and a bar. It's a " locals" hang out which is cool The food was pretty darn good. Wings were crispy, maybe a little dry, but the chipolte sauce was 🔥. Chunky blue cheese aswel...

    A little off the beaten path dive bar. The place lacks any real identity, but that's OK. They have a few TVs. Game, tables and a bar. It's a " locals" hang out which is cool The food was pretty darn good. Wings were crispy, maybe a little dry, but the chipolte sauce was 🔥. Chunky blue cheese aswell, which is always a PLUS PLUS PLUS! THE Philly sandwich was kind of 1 dimensional and the crinkle cut fries not my style. Beer was cold, and lones cleaned, no metallic or off taste to the beer. Over all, a cool little locals dive bar off the beaten path in the Durham area.

    Dive bar with a casual atmosphere. Fun folks willing to chat. Bar tenders are sweet and attentive but they can get incredibly busy so it may take awhile to get service. Go ready to hang out and you’ll have a good time. Bathrooms were surprisingly clean

    Stopped in tonight heading home from Charlotte. My server/bar tender was crystal and she was awesome and attentive. I ended up ordering Smoky bbq boneless wings with bacon and cheese fries and it couldn’t have been any more perfect!

    Great bar! Excellent food! Homemade mozzarella sticks. Great daily bar specials. Very local and fun. Highly recommend. Looks unassuming but definitely worth a try!

    The food is always good, and the beer is always cold. There are a lot of regulars that frequent this place. The bartenders are always super nice. They have events there some nights, like karaoke for one, but also several other events if singing isn't your thing.

    I go to both Bralie’s locations often and the bartenders work both locations, so both have a similar feel. Bralie’s 2 is an easy going neighborhood bar. In fact, I lived a block away for almost a decade, so I know it’s a decent neighborhood. I usually go for the karaoke and have gone by myself and with friends. I feel welcome every time! Last time I was there, items fell out of my purse on my way out. A patron took my items up to the bar, which the bartenders kept safe for me until I could collect them. It makes me feel cared for. You guys are awesome!

    Grace is the best! She will check on you often and will make you feel right at home. The food I have eaten here has always been good, whether it was fried green beans, chicken tenders, or a full on meal. There is still an area where you can play darts or play a game of pool. There is a pretty good sized dining area on the other side.

    The customer service is TOP NOTCH and they have STELLA ARTOIS ON TAP!!! The lady behind the bar is so attentive that I didn’t sit with an empty beer 🍺 for long. I didn’t have to flag anyone down to get good service. She even fed a hungry college student who hadn’t eaten all day after the kitchen had shut down (she has compassion for the customers). They do serve food but I did not order anything the night I went. Even though I knew no one when I entered the establishment, I had great conversation with everyone that I met at the bar and outside on the front porch. They have a pool table and TV’s in every corner. The bathroom is CLEAN and has air freshener for customers to use. Great atmosphere and excellent beer selection!

    Two of the three times I've gone, the service was abysmal. Last time, I waited for 20 minutes with no service and finally just left. Food is good when you can get it.

    We had a Christmas party there. We ordered a bunch of appetizers and food. The wings are great. Delicious sweet potato fries. Everyone loved the Dragon shrimp. The club sandwich is huge. Great burgers. Great bar. Nice atmosphere and great staff.

    Came for the band but wow, this bar is amazing. The bartender is awesome and the atmosphere is great. Ordered the salad with an extreme allergy to raw onions and there was no cross contamination at all. The People are great, atmosphere is amazing.

    Gone downhill. Took 45 minutes to get a hamburger that wasn't good and wasn't made to my request . May have just been an off day not sure but will be a while before I go back

    Same owner different crowd. I don't go here often. Being Mexican Italian and brown, these white folks while nice -ish, look like they wanna hang you up by a tree. Still same activities and it's fun just ita was weird.

    My favorite Bralie's is the original location but i've got friends that live up in this area so it is convenient to hit this location from time to time. The staff has always been friendly. The food is always tasty. Beer selection is decent enough. Good local neighborhood hangout.

    Food was excellent and waitress was super friendly. You could tell it is a local bar with friends enjoying themselves. Wide range of age so this older lady fit right in. Tall wooden chairs were not very comfortable, but bar stools were padded. I'll be back.

    There is one arcade called gambling machine that takes your money and it does nothing and it's all the way to the left. Bands are good. They don't give your money back but take it. Saying everyone looses their money. Extra dollars for them but no return and not honest. I saw other people using other arcade games.

    Nice little neighborhood place. Tasty food and reasonably priced. Great selection of food and drinks for everyone. Place was clean. The staff was friendly and the service was great. Food came out hot. Even the patrons were friendly. They have live bands. We came to hear a band called Redline. Band was awesome. Check them out sometime, they are on Facebook. They played lots of great songs. Everyone was dancing, singing along, or tapping their foot to the music. Showing you just how friendly a place this is. We will definitely return for the food, entertainment, and friendly neighborhood atmosphere. We highly recommend checking this place out. You can’t go wrong.

    We stopped at Bralie's 2 driving back from the Masters first week of April , we wanted a local place to get a drink and have dinner and we found the perfect spot. Everyone seemed to know it was our first time there and they couldn't have been more welcoming. We got the last 2 seats at the bar and the bartender Maria was great and so was everybody around us . The first question was how did we find the place and when we left it was come on back , it felt like my bar back in New Jersey . Our food was just as good as our company . Not sure when I'll be in the area again but I'll go out of my way to come back . Thanks for the hospitality ! Mark from NJ

    One of the best times to go here is on Wednesdays when they have Bingo. Such a fun and good experience. Great food and awesome people running it. I got the Western Burger and salad for like $17 in all and it was real good. Came with a side and have some great food. Also a really good site for sporting events like Duke,UNC and State Fans or NFL and other sports
