The Brass Tap is a nice new addition to the Cityline area. The other bar on the same street has similar vibes (sports bar, live music/DJ) but The Brass Tap has it beat. We came in on a Saturday night and it was pretty busy with college football fans and live music. Sitting inside when there's live music is loud, but they do have a patio. Service was friendly. They are a beer bar so they've got lots of beers on tap, but I'm not a beer girl.
They've got a good variety of bar food (apps, chicken, fish, tacos, pizza, flatbreads) and we enjoyed what we tried, the chicken nachos and the chicken tender basket. The chicken on the nachos was nicely seasoned and the jalapeños on them were fresh and spicy! The chicken tenders and fries seemed pretty high quality. Sometimes at bars you'll get obviously frozen breaded chicken strips, and these didn't taste like that. They seemed fresher. We all tried The Weekender cocktail, which was vodka with a variety of fruit juice or liquor, and it just tasted like orange juice. Not the worst and not gross, but not exactly what it claimed to be.
I'll probably be back to give it another try. I'd say skip the cocktails and order your tried-and-true bar drink. Or a beer! And try the food!
