Small dive bar with the little dive bar smell, if you don't mind the smell, go ahead and order your food/drinks and enjoy the ambience right off busy Thomas Road in front of Walmart. They have one pool table and a dart board! read more

I have been coming here for over 2 yrs and have never done a review. You would never expect this place to be great place to come have a good meal but it is! The service is OUTSTANDING. The food is great, anything I have ordered has been great. The music is always playing at a level that still allows you to have conversation. I only come here to eat but bartenders are friendly and the atmosphere is chill. Definitely a place I recommend read more

One of my good friends and I don't live particularly close to another (like 18miles apart) so it's hard to get together sometimes as adults. Midway between us is roughly Arcadia/Baja Arcadia, which is how we found OBR (#FoundItOnYelp). We've already come a few times because we aren't super fancy, like dive bars and good service, and a place for us to hang with no rush. The weekend brunch is always solid - sometimes a girl wants a burger with her mimosas or beer with eggs! Super affordable too - we love a good $5 mimosa. The same girl has been our server and she's amazing. Super personable and kind, and always down to talk shop. The overall vibe is like your local Cheers. read more

Ol' Brass Rail is the kind of spot that reminds you why dive bars are timeless. With a loyal local crowd--mostly an older, friendly bunch--this place has plenty of charm and good people. If you're looking to escape the Scottsdale scene and just enjoy a laid-back bar, this is it. The food? Always consistent. My go-to is the wings and the BLT sandwich, both of which never disappoint. The drinks are cheap, the beer is ice-cold, and the service is top-notch. My server recognized me right away and had my order going before I even sat down--that's the kind of service that keeps you coming back. If you want a spot with no pretense, just good food, cold drinks, and a welcoming vibe, Ol' Brass Rail is the place to be. read more

I don't know how long they've been around. It does show age. However, the food is delicious. We got a cheeseburger and fries and it was really good and fresh. The band was playing and they were fantastic. The bartenders were on top of it. The customers were friendly. Question: Will I return to this neighborhood bar? Yes. In fact I'm supposed meet on Friday. read more

Best dive bar in PHX for breakfast. Omelettes are fantastic, I feel like im in the 2000's with the proportion of food. Love coming here

26 years of service low turnover of employees Owner extremely accessible. Open 6am until 1am.

I googled potato skins near me and this place came out. Very dark on the outside. You come in and it is a bar. There are many people sitting at the bar having a drink but not one person is sitting in here eating. It is 7 o'clock on a Tuesday night. No dark beer on the menu so I ordered a Modelo on tap Menu has a variety of starters, some wings, salad, three or four south of the border items and a handful of burgers and sandwiches. You also can choose from four seafood and four dinner entrées. It definitely is not the place if you are a vegetarian. The chairs to the tables are mostly torn with the cushions sticking out. The restaurant inside seems clean however, nobody is here. We ordered potato skins as that is what we came here for. Going to eat them before we try any other food. The potato skins are large in size. Comes with green onion, bacon, and lots of cheese. They seem to be a bit overcooked and burned on the bottom. But overall they have good flavor. This is definitely your local dive bar. All the locals are hanging out in the corner of the bar. Chose not to order any more food. Not because it was bad, but just wasn't feeling the vibe for dinner. I would definitely come here for a drink with friends or maybe some good potato skins, and a beer. read more

This has been my favorite spot since I've moved into the area. I've never had a problem until the skinny white girl with black hair and piercings said I was staring at her when I absolutely was not. She has ruined the experience for me and has made it awkward for me to return due to the fact she had the audacity to tell my girlfriend I was staring at her. I asked the bartender if I was being inappropriate while I was present and he even said I was on my phone the entire time. Good food, and good staff / atmosphere for the most part. read more

What time does breakfast end? 2:00 PM? Or 1:40 PM? If it's 2:00 PM as you advertise on your menu and I order at 1:40 PM whoever you have in charge shouldn't tell me they are no longer severing. They should be fired because they lost business and money and now I need to call the in for the health code violations I saw as well. This place is a dump and it should but shut down. Someone is too lazy to crack an egg. WASTE. read more

It used to be such a good spot to have a cheap breakfast and was it the absolute best nah... but it was cheap and you didn't feel upset about it when the bill comes you're like " this is why we come here " :) . You're like eh it's cheap food can't complain. I went in this Sunday and tell me why the food got worse with the unseasoned potatoes and prices have increased . At this point you can just go to a nice local restaurant and get food . read more

Great place to start or end the day. Menus good, live music, karaoke and a HUGE bar. Smoking patio optional read more

This is a great place--regardless of the day or evening. All but one of the waitresses are always really nice and efficient. The one in particular who is always rude--I simply avoid her day and schedule. Otherwise, it's a great place. read more

Great authentic American food and quick service. Kind of an old atmosphere, but great lol

Fun karaoke and the staff really tries. We had a good Saturday night. I've never heard anyone do "How Much Is That Doggy in the Window " before. To each their own. Still fun. read more

Me and my mom sat down at a table and a short Mexican woman who isn't our waiter told us to move for a bigger party so that our table can be used for the our people. It is not our fault that these people did not plan ahead and also all this happen on Mother's Day. Terrible service would not recommend if you are just 2 people and a whole party come crashing down on you. read more

Fun times, awesome bartender Lou! Had mimosas and bloody Mary's! All delicious! We will be back!

Just had breakfast, it was horrible. We used to hear how good it was, maybe cooks changed. Food was cold, sausage and hash browns looked and taste like they were reheated , it's been a minute but we've had good time here for happy hour and live bands read more

The food is decent. But they never change the IPA on tap!!! In fact...The only IPA you can get here is Lagunitas. Are used to support this business because the owner Danny seemed like a cool dude. But his wife.... Is a total B!! There is a picture of her on the wall in a hot pink bikini I tried to give her a compliment and she thought I was telling her she was too old. She was cold, rude, and just downright nasty. If you can't be a nice person, as a business owner, to the general public...then why should we support your business. I wouldn't step foot in this place ever again!!! read more

Leo is a hard worker! And very efficient with a positive attitude, makes perfect drinks. Thanks Leo!

There are some bars that serve bar food but not the OLE BRASS RAIL on Thomas & 38th street. I have never had a meal that was bad. The food comes to the table hot and the plating of the food is always on mark. Breakfast is my favorite meal of the day and they have biscuits and gravy to die for. The wings are very good, deep fried zucchini is excellent and I just thought I can't forget the Corn beef sandwich or the burger OMG. All I can say you must try this place. And for the OLE BRASS RAIL team keep doing whatever it is to keep people happy. read more

It's a dive with really good food, great service and great value! You can't go wrong, unless you want mimosas, a dj, and sitting outside in Scottsdale. This is more of a Midwestern feel, with comfort food! read more

Good cheap food, and the service was great! Lots of people on an early Sunday morning.

This was a bit of a nostalgia pit stop for me. From the late nineties till about 2005, I used to come here regularly for the cheap and tasty breakfast deals. During a recent visit to Phoenix, we decided to grab breakfast one more time for old times sake! Memory has been kind to OBR! It's a bar that definitely has that divey vibe to it. They do serve some great greasy breakfast foods, though!....and for pretty damn cheap! The three of us each ordered a breakfast combo, each ran from $4.00 to $6.00 each! How can you beat that?! Service was a little slow but okay. The service can be spotty at times and this was going to be an easy 4 star review up until 5 minutes before we left. We asked our waitress for our bill. Now I remember if they were busy and the waitress couldn't get back to settle the tab, you could just go up to the bar and pay. It wasn't very busy at all and we waited a few minutes, but were ready to leave ...so I approached the bar. I was anxious to pay because we were all so happy to be there we had a 75% tip for her as well! I very much enjoy tipping people, especially if they give me reason to tip generously. There was a nice guy(who I think was a busser(??)with glasses) who tried to get her attention, but she pretty much ignored him. He looked back at me and said "I tried". Nice. I waved at her to try to get her attention, she looked directly at me, looked through me, and than turned her back to me and started chatting with a co-worker. That was pretty rude and annoying. So, unbeknownst to her, I put some of that tip back in my pocket! I still tipped 50%, but that left a sour taste in my mouth. So i left the cash and headed out the door, and once she saw the tip, she became pretty enthusiastic and friendly. Whatever. The food is good, cheap, and greasy. ...and I say that in a flattering light....but keep expectations for service at a lower level and you may not leave disappointed... I will always have good memories here...but realistically its.. 3 stars. read more

I've been in here a few times now and it's always breakfast time. I will admit on a previous visit, I was not impressed by the breakfast burrito. However, it was solely because of it's massive size and the steam from the hot plate ruined the tortilla. Due to the fact that I was aware of this, the next visit in, I did not order the same thing. Problem solved. I instead went with the Mickey Muffin. If you have seen previous reviews, I'm not a vegetarian but I do like my veggies. This particular morning I did not want any pork at all. I ordered it with just egg and cheese. I was thinking it would be comparable to the obvious place that has breakfast muffin sandwiches. This was way better! I'm not sure if they always add tomato, lettuce and onion to this sandwich or if it was simply because of the way I ordered it. If it doesn't normally come this way, you can bet if I order it again, I'll ask for it that way. It changed my whole view on the breakfast sandwich. I've had the same waitress the last 3 times I've been in and she is a very sweet girl who is good about stopping by to see if anything else is needed. I've never been in outside of breakfast and I may never venture beyond that because they do breakfast right for me. read more

I've been going here for a lot of years. Mostly just for breakfast. Recently the quality of food has deteriorated. Prices have doubled. I understand about the increase in price because of inflation. But I'm going to look for another place for breakfast read more

Brass Rail is an institution in PHX! It's not fancy, but it's friendly. Food is simple, and always really good. I recommend the Mickey Muffin and my husband always orders the chorizo and eggs.
