I decided to get their burger wrap which was pretty good but I felt the burger part could have been cooked a little more to my liking. I tried to keep it at least somewhat healthy and got the salad instead of fries which was acceptable. Overall, the service and atmosphere was good and they had Bingo night the night I was there so that's something people seemed to like!

I ate outside on the deck since the weather was good. There are about 4 or 5 TVs so you can watch whatever game is on. Inside they have a pool table. You order at the bar and they bring your food to you. Food came out pretty fast, and the chicken was piping hot. Overall, glad I stopped here and I'll be back again. Just wish they had unsweet tea

Thought it would be tossed in the sauce rather than on a bed of it. Good flavor though. Next we had the Italian chopped sandwich. Fluffy bread. Contents of the sandwich is when everything went downhill for me. I'm pretty sure there was more of a layer of lettuce than the lunch meat and what not. I was so disappointed with the amount. The pastor pizza wasn't bad. It wasn't something I'd care to order again. The meat was big overcooked chunks that made it hard to bite. The balance of flavors was decent. The restaurant was full but still sat quickly. Beyond plenty of staff to keep the table clear. Our waitress left a lot to be desired in service though.

An upstairs and downstairs bar, what's not to love? Blue is the Brenner bar…read more The outside downstairs bar is a covered patio space with fans and scenic views of the bayou. The only thing missing is a water mister on the fans. Great place to hang with friends and enjoy on a nice day. Lots of space to spread out, bar seats, tables, fire pits, loungers etc. And even a private duck off space to relax, that's seperate from the bar. I trust they get alot of business for people wanting to enjoy drinks before dinner. The upstairs bar, is a more intimate space, with mostly bar seating, to those wanting air conditioner with their cocktails, lol. Drinks - I started with the Daiq-quila, and it was a good start, wonderful on a summer day. Next I had the the Brenners Signature Marg which was fine. My friend really enjoyed her $$ martini. Service - was fine. Had a slight mishap with the bill, but our young strapping server got it straightened out. Worth it, if coming for happy hour, otherwise it's a pretty penny for simple drinks you could really have anywhere for cheaper.

They also have a very spacious second space outside on the large, beautiful patio overlooking the well manicured landscape of the surrounding bayou. Myself and a few people from my group arrived a little early for dinner at Brenner's and decided to have a cocktail while waiting. The inside bar is small, but intimate. There is some seating around the neon lit bar and some high top tables around. We didn't have a whole lot of interaction with the bartender, but he was pleasant and made a solid drink. My drink of choice was a Brenner's Old Fashioned. It was happy hour and there were drink and light bite specials. My drink was properly made and dressed and was a tad bit on the strong side. For the happy hour price, not a bad drink. As expected at a fine dining place like Brenner's, regular price drinks can be spendy. Overall, it was a nice option to have a place to sit and enjoy a drink before or after dinner. I think I would even come back to enjoy the outdoor space which seemed like a little oasis in the middle of the city.

The first time I came here, the owner called a woman a fat piece of sh** straight to her face, which I thought was extremely rude... The second time I came here, the owner of the place threw a punch at me for not wearing my mask properly in the restroom and tried to shove me down a small flight of steps. This dude is crazy, don't ever go to nettbar, it's honestly the most unwelcoming place I've ever been to. I always try to be compliant and respect other people's rules, but it's tough when people are looking for a reason to harass and harm others. read more

I love this spot especially when the weather is nice out. It's an outdoor bar for the most part with a small inside section. There is a few outdoor activities like corn hole and a large outdoor tv. The bartender had great service for our group however at the time they weren't busy at all so he was able to take care of us quickly. They also have happy hour! They don't serve food but do have an onsite food truck that is delicious! I wouldn't order the chicken sliders again, but the eggrolls, hummus, fries and chicken skewers were really good! read more

I can think of no greater way to honor one of my favorite holidays than making it my 500th review! Mad thanks to Justin T. (and crew), Lupe M., Jazzy T. for staking out and claiming the largest table on the patio. Always good to get some time from Victor H. and Brian T. in the books. Great time with everyone that came out! Parking - We met bright and early on this lovely Sunday holiday. Off the main road, the entrance to parking was not easily found or utilized, most folks missed it and came through the rear. Even with a decent crowd, parking didn't seem to be too much of an issue. They have some established parking, and also an open field behind it for overflow. No lay required. Yay free! The Bar - As one might expect, there's a large bar inside provisioning cocktails, draft beer, and maybe even some wine (don't quote me on the wine. I didn't see it). The folks behind the bar were a hustlin'. They had about 5 bar tenders in the main bar, moving people quickly. They also had a pop-up bar on the patio that was cash and venmo only. Smaller menu of items, but a good place to hit without a line if they had what you wanted. All the staff were very patient and friendly. There is food, looked like normal bar fare, but I did not purchase any. For the holiday they had live music, some swag out on the tables, and some decent drink specials. There were shots galore. My one complaint is that an Irish Car Bomb should be a full glass (pint) and not half a solo cup. The Digs - The bar itself is what you would expect of an Irish den. Inside is a little darker, and has a nostalgic feel to it. Enough room to fit enough folks, and largely standing room (at least for this holiday setup). Bar was easily accessible, low wait times. They have a large patio outside that made all the difference for drinking on a lovely day that had a wee bit o'water comin' down. The restrooms were clean (as they can be with a bunch of raucous hooligans milling about), no long waits. Good shade on the patio in the sun, and cover from the rain. We rolled with a crowd of just under 20 split between two tables, one covered one not. Everyone had a great time, service was good, ambience was on point. Twas a great holiday with great people, in a solid bar, with mostly great weather. Highly recommend spending your next St. Paddy's here.
