    Best fried pickles in town. The coating was crunchy, the pickle was crispy, and the G sauce paired nicely. Plus my drink was perfect. Such a cool place with great service. 10/10 will be back!!

    We tried this sports bar for the first time on the Saturday before Memorial Day. The place was fairly busy with a lot of people playing pool. The service was very good and friendly. They have several beers on tap and many more in bottles. They also have a full bar. The menu has several items to choose from. We had the pulled pork quesadilla and it was very good. We appreciated that even with a lot of people in the restaurant, the noise level was low enough to have a conversation. I usually don't expect much from a sports bar restroom, but these were very clean!

    Came to watch the Celtics game. They had it on nearly all the tvs. The waiter and the rest of the staff were very friendly and quick with the food and drinks considering how busy they were. I got the jack Daniel whisky burger. Medium. It came out perfectly cooked, the only thing is I would have liked more sauce on the burger. The fries, mozzarella sticks and the loaded tater tots were great. Great place to enjoy food, billiards, and sports on the tv. An FYI no one under 21 after 9.

    The place is pretty good to stop by for quick dinner, maybe to watch the game or play some pool or darts. Plenty of room for big companies. Food is ok. I like their shrimp basket and house sandwich.

    The place is a lot bigger that It looks from outside. Many variety of bees you can try and there are some indoor games like darts and pools available. Our waiter was very friendly and funny. Decent crowd overall and I definitely will go again. I had Ace pineapple cider after my heavy dinner elsewhere.

    Server was not attentive whatsoever. It took me having to ask the manager the a food menu after 20 minutes of not getting one. I understand your busy but if I have to track you down for.food.and a drink your service is sub par. I ordered fried mushrooms as an app. $7.99 and sold by the pound. I received 16 mushrooms for an entire order. I gave the server a chance to take them back and she lied to me saying that was normal. The owner need to have a talk with his staff. They literally tried telling me this was a pound of mushrooms. I will never come back to this place. I would recommend anyone thinking about wanting a pool bar atmosphere go to Sidepockets. I seriously can not believe the experience I had here tonight....

    Large group celebrating a birthday. Very disappointed with the mixed drinks. We come here frequently and tonite the lemon drops were truly just a mix. I asked about the quality and was told they were "pre-made". Quite a ripoff for customers that come so often. We will likely not be celebrating here again. So disappointing.

    Best pool tables in town, not even close. And they have darts, shuffle board and golden tee. Come hungry cause this is way better than bar food too. Huge craft beer selection. Great spot!

    Their Sunday special, Chicken Fried Chicken, was a totally disappointing meal. I asked for gravy on the side and a spoon that I requested from the server twice and never received any eating utensils other than the knife and fork. The gravy was overly salted and included way too much grease and flour. The mixed zucchini squash vegetable was overly salted. It didn't come with my order and I had to ask for it to be brought out after the meal was served. The potatoes were dry and stiff like overly cooked instant potato flakes...don't get me started on the very small portion sizes. More like kid's meal portions. The server never came back to ask how anyone's food tasted (we had nine family members in our dining party today) nor did he come around even once to ask any of us if they needed anything else, until we were practically done eating. I could only eat half of my meal. (see picture that I took of my sad meal) I could feel myself swelling from all of the high sodium content. Not good cause I'm salt sensitive and suffer from high blood pressure. In my opinion this meal was not fit for human consumption nor was it a desirable "Sunday Special". My family members have been here quite a few times in the past few years and each time it is going downhill in food quality, taste and restaurant service. At least they have pool tables and bigscreen TV's.

    Came here for Monday night football 🏈 game. It was decently filled up. There was definitely a shortage of waiters and kitchen cooks 👨‍🍳. Food came out pretty slow. No big deal since we were sitting for a while to watch the game anyways. Just your average bar food lol. Fried mushrooms 🍄 were pretty good though. I thought about getting loaded tots as a meal. I’m glad I didn’t, to be honest haha. They were a little disappointing. The place is really cute overall though. I like the vibe. It’s really big. Pool tables and shuffle board available. 🎱 Waiter also mixed up the drinks on the tab and put all the apps on one tab… but not a huge deal lol. Just though I’d let the people know haha!

    Nice place. Great appetizers, attentive staff, super-friendly atmosphere. The drink menu was impressive. There was enough noise and bustle to create a sports bar ambience without it being overwhelming. Age-wise there was a great variety of folks, from young kids and teens having dinner with their families, to 20-somethings enjoying a game of pool, to folks about my age enjoying an adult beverage or two, and there were more than a few youngish (and some older) couples out on a date night. Everyone seemed to be having a good time. Lots of people smiling, plenty of laughter, and everyone seemed at ease and happy. It's a clean and welcoming place. The waitress was actively wiping down tables, taking back dishes and empties, and keeping the floors spotless. It was kind of amazing--I never saw her stop moving, not even once, but as busy as she was, she was great about checking on all her tables--dropping by with a friendly, "Hi," and to see if anyone needed anything. Food-wise, the fried pickles were hot, fresh, and there were a ton of them. I recommend Brass Rail to anyone looking for great food, conversation, people and/or sports watching, a game of pool, or a fun night out. 5 stars!

    The service was great and very friendly. I had the club it was so yummy my hubby had the chicken tender basket he loved it says its the best chicken strips he has had. We will be back to enjoy the food and to play a few games of pool.

    I like this place & go for major sporting events, but you never know what you will get. They need to do a better job monitoring their coolers to make sure beer is always very cold. Most of the time it’s not, whether bottle or draft. Food is great one time, but not the next.

  • 5/5 Sandra H. 1 year ago on Google
    Went for drinks, a appetizers and pool. It was great! Free pool until 4 PM. The food was above average, service superior.

  • 5/5 Taylor H. 1 year ago on Google
    Super cool environment, plenty of TVs and billiards tables. Great music on the juke too. Drinks were super cheap and the food was really good. We both got BBQ burgers and they were amazing. Friendly staff, clean, will definitely be back!

    Fun place to spend time with friends. We were a group of almost 20. All separate checks... wait staff was awesome. They offer a super selection of beers and several in our group ordered bar drinks. Did not hear a complaint one. Same with food. Everyone in our group ordered appetizers so I can't speak to their other menu items. But, again, no complaints with what we had.

  • 5/5 NJ S. 1 year ago on Google
    We got in a bit late but the kitchen still took our order. Staff was incredibly friendly. The atmosphere is great. As someone that is generally easily overwhelmed especially in a bar, it was actually very easy to have a conversation with friends without having to shout. Food was fantastic too! Will definitely be coming back!

    Wowza the food is amazing. Best Mac and cheese I have ever had out at a restaurant. Loaded tots were perfect. Burger was a little over cooked but the beef had flavor. The tenderloin was HUGE and crispy. Our waitress was Skyler, super nice, made suggestions and took good care of us.

    In my opinion, Good place to go kick back an have few, catch a game on one of the Mini TVs with good viewpoints from anywhere in there. Or just simply hang out with friends play a game of pool, throw some darts. And I say this because I frequent the Brass Rail often. Good atmosphere, laid back, The music is never too loud. Always have the local game on , and you can hear it. Have a good menu, the food is always on point, multiple beers on tap, good selection of IPA, Bartenders are spot on with their mixed drinks. Service is always good compared to other places I go to Once in a while! Highly highly recommended good job you guys😎
