I feel like it has improved the atmosphere and made it more fun without taking away the original aesthetic. It's roomy and spacious- you will never feel shoulder to shoulder. They have revamped the lounge area with more comfortable seating. The upstairs "library" is open publicly now from what I saw. We were able to go upstairs at any time and enjoy drinks with a completely different vibe. Hosting a bday here was easy and stress free. The owner was accommodating and even offered linens to us for the tables. We brought pizza and desserts but not our drinks out of respect to the bar. Bartender was cool too! This might be my new favorite place to hang out.

It's fun to be greeted by the staff and regulars when I walk in. Bartenders know what I am drinking before I even ask. It's still like family and I wouldn't change a thing!

I have been doing karaoke here for over 10 years. I was totally happy with The Brig and tried to be…read morea good patron and I would help out a little. I have discovered that management doesn't pay all its help and expects free service. There isn't a dress code for the workers or the clientele. Those that came just knew how to behave and what to wear. The air-conditioner runs constantly, the fans in the bar are going constantly and the back and front doors are open wide. It gets to cold to be comfortable in The Brig and it's because the bar tenders are too hot. Vaping goes on and nothing is done about it. Men go into the Ladies room do whatever in there and excape out the back door. I have personally experienced this twice. The service is slow and poor, at best. Tables are cleared but not wiped down. The bar now is messy and unorganized. Some of the help don't know how to mop up a spilled drink. The help dresses scantily and shows more that they need to. This might be the problem. The clientele has change and it's not the regulars that come in there any more. The clientele is moving to be a rougher, more dangerous group. Karaoke was great this last Sunday night (March 1, 2026). A few of the old crowd was there and it wasn't the dive bar we had on Saturday night (Feb 28, 2026). I will continue to go to the Brig as long as I am with my DJ. But someone in control needs to look at some of this.

There is music and a few pool tables on site. The place does smell like weed but smoking is prohibited at least from what I can see. Although we sat away from the bar, the bartender, whom is a very nice young lady, walked over to us to make sure if we were ok and if that we need anything else. Although these places are not my type of thing, I would still say it's a good place to hang - for a short period.
