The Brakeman

The beer-token system is a little weird, but once you get past that, The Brakeman is built for fun: a big casual room, plenty of games, lots of beer, and garage doors that open into Parker’s Alley. This is not a complicated night, and that is the point.

Get the fried chicken from adjoining Penny Red’s, load up on beer tokens, and claim the shuffleboard or foosball table.

You have a group, a game to watch, or want a lively downtown stop where nobody has to dress up.

You want a quiet date, table-service ceremony, or a serious cocktail bar.
