| - This place is is tucked away in a tiny little strip mall off of Warm Springs near Tenaya. The strip mall is almost vacant, save one other place (a Korean restaurant?). The area is still underdeveloped and so Brentwood doesn't get very much traffic. I think since it's so slow, they're only open til 2a. Kinda lame, but I see why. I'm sure if business picks up (and the area develops), they'll extend their hours, but I think that's a long way off.
This isn't necessarily a bad thing. If you go on a week day, it's pretty uncrowded. They've only been open a couple of months so no one really knows about it. It's a place to go and talk with your company; not shout over ambient ruckus. It's a place to go and chillax; not people watch.
The bar can be completely closed off from the restaurant side (in accordance with Las Vegas restaurant and smoking laws ... hooray).
The women's bathroom stalls are shallow. Shallow like, walk in the stall and konk, hit your knee on the toilet. And there are no toilet seat liners in the last stall, but not the first two stalls (my friend is a germaphobe).
The deco of the place is weird. It's definitely desert practical, but still has this weird austerity.
When you first walk in the foyer, you can go one of three ways: the bar, the restaurant, the bathroom. It's kind of like entering a business office building.
The bar side has a huge bar with video poker and also tables surrounding the bar, mostly 4-tops and half booths.
Of the three evenings I've been there, I've never seen anyone on the restaurant side.
There's also a dog-friendly patio outside. Neat. Totally trying to accomodate people that just want to have a cold one with their dog. I get it.
Their menu is typical bar fare. I've only ever tried their spinach dip, $8. Nothing bad, nothing exceptional. Oh, the menu has no desserts. Booooooo. And hiss. BUT my accommodating bartender said there was some ice cream in the kitchen and he could whip something up for me. Hm. Ice cream and Bailey's? Perhaps next time.
They have Kona Longboard on tap and ... some other stuff.
I think the major selling point about Brentwood is their friendly staff. Granted, they're new and still have a while to go before they're all jaded and broken, but for now they are swell. I've had the privilege of being served by Huckleberry and Dustin. Huckleberry is a friendly bartender. Friendly to the point where he was whoring out shots. Look for the guy with the Moe (from the Simpsons) tattoo. Dustin was more low key and I found myself missing Huckleberry. But then as the bar emptied, Dustin warmed up a little more and really took the time and care to get us hammered. Such a sweetheart. We also met the two bartenders that just finished their shift, Jen and Lisa, with the nice boobies. Friendly.
I'll be back.
