The Brakeman

"Great food an Penny Reds, and great drinks at Brakeman. Came here with some family/friends to celebrate my 21st. Bartender was awesome, environment was great. Can’t say anything negative."

"The chicken was so delicious. It's really loud here on Friday night, just make sure that's what you want."

"The food was amazing!!!!! Fried to perfection!! I love the atmosphere. It was confusing ordering drinks because we sid not know that you had to purchase tickets to use for ordering drinks. That was weird."

"Food was great, and beer was okay. It was extremely confusing with no direction on what to do, but we eventually figured it out. The atmosphere was okay until the bathrooms. It was downstairs down a dark hallway. It is not the best feeling as a woman to be going downstairs into the dark alone. I noticed that there were signs everywhere to wash your hands and all that good stuff, but the hand dryers horrified me. There was mold all on the bottom and side. With no paper towel as an option, I had to dry my hands on my pants because there was no way I was going to use that germ infested moldy hand dryer."

"I honestly couldn't wait to post this review. I will have to say this is a business model business and people should definitely stay away from. I think if it wasn't in such a prime location I don't think there would be many people here. The irritation started right from the beginning from the gentleman at the door letting people in who was putting wristbands on. He did a ok (slightly) job putting women's wristbands on but when it came to men I noticed everyone and including myself. Instead of putting the wristband on in a straight fashioned he made an x with the tape which stuck to your hair. Very irritating. He kinda chuckled, almost made me think it was on purpose. Anyway, there was little to no direction. I get to the bar to order drinks and you needed tokens. Nobody said anything to us and they were rushing us in the door because there were so many people. So we had to wait in line to get tokens and you don't know how many drinks are for each token. So kind of a guessing game. We did figure it out towards the end. Next the bartender game getting a drink was very difficult. Two of the three bartenders were rude. One of the bartenders actually broke a bottle of liquor. Some of the glass went into the ice. They proceeded to serve people drinks right out of that ice. Gosh I hope nobody got hurt. One thing if management could learn would help. Would be to let the bartenders run a credit card with tap to pay these days. It would cause no issue speed the process up and stop two lines in a bar for drinks and tokens. Will not be back"
