State Street Brats is a college bar. I have heard it gets really busy in the evenings, full of college students! That being said I have never been here during one of these times.
State Street Brats has a large menu, filled with brats, burgers, fried foods, and other pub fare. They have a small but good collection of beers on tap. You order at the bar and then they give you a number so they can deliver your food.
When the food comes to your table it is rather bare. But fear not! There is a topping/condiment bar inside with dozens of sauces, veggies, and pickled goods to top your food with. (I LOVE this!)
The other thing I love about State Street Brats is the patio. It has nice string lights and plenty of places to sit and people watch those walking on State St.
I should be clear that State Street Brats is not mind-blowing in any way. However, State Street Brats is reliable, delicious, and perfectly satisfying bar food and drinks.
