"This American beer hall in downtown Detroit doesn’t have an especially extensive selection of beer, but it makes up for it in character. Imbibers purchase beer tokens at a counter and exchange them for pints at the bar, which is filled with games and TVs. Groups can also pool their resources to rent a tap table with pour-your-own beers. While there’s no food on the menu, the Brakeman is attached to a carryout chicken restaurant called Penny Red’s where customers can purchase fried chicken buckets and sandwiches." - Eater Staff
