Many of you may remember this place as Tack's Lounge or Stool Pigeons Tavern...well....its changed now, the dark days are gone.... Big League Brews is now a sports bar, and what a nice transformation! Clean, bright, great decor and friendly staff..the list goes on....
We heard about the change while shopping at Best Buy in Southland Mall...the person assisting us with our TV purchase mentioned it when we told him about our Fantasy Football league, so we decided to check it out. GOOD MOVE on our part. For a place that switched over from blah to wow very recently, I think they are on the right track.... the word is out!
We held our Fantasy Football draft here on a Saturday afternoon after some other friends pre-scoped it and gave it the thumbs up. We were pleasantly surprised at the nice set up we got from Matt Taylor, the owner of BLB. We had a private section roped off for us, individual draft kits (including hats, pens, draft cards, etc the usual stuff) and a wing special to knock your sox off. The staff was very accommodating and we soon knew this was totally the place to be doing our sports gig. The prices are reasonable for both adult beverages and NA items, the menu is nice. Some of us stayed behind after the draft for burgers and fries and they were dee-lish.
The crowning achievement in this place, besides the friendliness and competency of the staff and management IMO is this HUGE 200 inch big screen that is situated on the back wall. Awesome! The sound and picture clarity are excellent, this is totally where you want to be watching the 'big game" You must see it to believe it.. And whats so amazing is the big screen takes nothing away from the general vibe of the place. ..Its not overwhelming in the least. Its just cool! I can see a huge crowd here for U-M/Ohio State already....hint hint........
Big League Brews also has the usual drink specials, karaoke, a DJ on some nights, other events soon to come... see their Facebook page for the full monty. I 99% guarantee you will become a fan once you get yourself in here and see for yourself. Parking is adequate, the RESTROOMS ARE CLEAN, and all in all, this is just an easy, nice place to hang out. You wont be disappointed.
