They also have a Sandwich of the Day, and a Hot Pot of the day. “Like” them on Facebook<\/a> to keep up with their specials.<\/p>\n

Although only my second visit at the Brass Door, the bartender remembered that I drink PBR, and that last Saturday I’d had a couple of them in a martini glass (the PBRtini, a classic Downtown beverage). That’s really cool that she remembered, considering how crowded the bar was on opening day. This time I went with the PBR in a regular glass. I love that $2.50 price.<\/p>\n

Now that the opening-week buzz is over and things are becoming pretty normal at the Brass Door, I was able to sit back and really get a feel for the place. The feeling I got was similar to the feeling I get when I’m at Bardog, or the Flying Saucer, or Max’s Sports Bar: A feeling of, “This is very comfortable. This feels like a home to me.” Seamus came over and said hello, and the chef came out of the kitchen to ask how I liked the sliders. They take good care of you.<\/p>\n

I had a seat near the main TV, where soccer was on. (I don’t mind calling the fries “chips” but I draw the line at calling soccer “football.” This is America dammit.) I suspect that since I plan on spending a lot of time at the Brass Door, I’m going to become a soccer fan.<\/p>\n

Also really cool that I knew all the people dining at the tables on the side. Two of my friends brought their baby with them, which they can do since the Brass Door is non-smoking.<\/p>\n

I heard the bartender say that the downstairs still isn’t open yet. They’re still working on the stage and on getting a PA in there. She mentioned next week as a possible ETA for the downstairs being open.<\/p>\n

If you tried to go last week and were turned away because the Brass Door closed early, PLEASE give it another chance. They’re doing regular hours now. This is a great little Irish pub and I hope it’s here for a long, long time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
