Checked out Brass Tap last night. It’s a good solid sports bar. Will definitely go back.

I was there Tuesday night, definitely not my style. Music sucked, felt like I was at a shitty wedding. Also way too bright. Bartenders were fine but a little over the top friendly. Had one beer and went to Aunt Betty’s and got drunk on gin martinis.

I’ve never met an over-the-top friendly bartender at a wedding. Just sayin’.

Feels like for most sports bars, most people will be there on weekends and they’ll just play the audio of the biggest game.

Overly bright is an issue. I hate that in almost any kind of bar.

I was just talking about the music they were playing. After Sweet Caroline came on, I had to go.

Lived in Boston for one year and that was more than enough to get irrationally irate whenever that song is played. God I hate it.

I’ve driven past a few times this past week and it def seems very bright in there. Feels a little fishbowl-y.

So super bright, generic overplayed music, hammy bartenders - sounds like a sports bar! LOL

Checked out The Brass Tap tonight. Didn’t realize there was a big event on (Tyson-Paul fight). They had it on every tv with the sound on for it. Definitely a corporate / chain vibe, but still a nice addition to the neighborhood.

How was the buffering? It was terrible when I tried watching at home, I was wondering if bars were having an issue with quality of the stream as well since it was on Netflix.

I went there today to watch football! It is very nice and the staff were great. My only complaint was how loud it is in there. Granted, I am in my 40’s but still, I couldn’t even hear my friends talking. I’ll still go back though!

The whole hearing thing only gets worse as you get older. You’ll come to love sitting outside!

I thought about it once we were seated but no outside TV’s.

I was hoping for a classy restaurant in this space. We really need another sports bar…not.

We don’t actually have many sports bars. Plenty of nice restaurants, though.

The best practice I’ve seen is establishments having TVs pointing outside from inside pressed against the window (with our without audio amplified outside).
