Brewski's

Brewski's is way, way down East Carson Street, almost to Station Square. It's well off the beaten path and seems to do a business consisting of mostly regulars. We won't say neighborhood people because we are pretty sure almost no one lives right there. The bartender seemed to know everyone in the happy hour crowd quite well, some off-color remarks to several guests suggesting they were very friendly. Most likely the same people stop there every day.

It's definitely a dive, but you can sense that before you walk in the door. There was more graffiti in the bar than any place we have ever been, even Gooski's. Pretty much every surface was covered in scrawls: marker on top of marker on top of marker. Even the lid of the toilet was drawn on.


It's open 365 days of the year which is always important to know. Look, sometimes you need to go to a bar on Christmas, don't judge. There were lots of games and the drinks were cheap. The bartender was friendly but no nonsense. We can't really imagine going out of our way to go there, but we certainly wouldn't avoid it. It seemed like a good place to shoot some pool or play a rousing game of "Bags," as the cornhole video game is called. If this bar were in our neighborhood, we would probably end up there, but it's not.
