The Brass Rail is what a dive bar should be. Slightly uncomfortable with bad furnishings, decent beer, and a great place to hang. Every time I've come I've enjoyed it. There's even an electronic darts game for when you're tired of squeezing into a tiny booth, watching bad TV or wondering why they sell so many portable bottles of alcohol from the counter.
I love you Brass Rail, you are divetastic, and you make me happy.
