In a sea of douchey Old Town bars, Brat Haus is my life raft. The beer selection is tremendous, the owner is chill, the staff mostly is down to earth, and the pretzels are killer.
Two warnings:
1. You're probably gonna sit outside. There isn't a ton of indoor seating.
2. Avoid the poutine. I had it last night and still have a sodium hangover. It's all salt and meat. The cheese curds are fried. The fries are stale. Just don't.
