Brass Pub

The Brass is another 'Hub' establishment and caters to the student crowd that is too old and too lazy for either of its sibling establishments, Ale House and Stages. The Brass is first and foremost a bar and isn't particularly known for its food, except maybe Tuesday wings and weekend breakfast. However, as luck would have it, Wednesday night was burger night, and so we went.


This was a surprisingly good little burger. Clocking in at 4 oz (a quarter pound), the homemade patty was perfectly grilled, compact, and not at all greasy. The bun was a rather plain sesame seed bun that held up well, through there wasn't any cheese or tomato to get it soggy. The fries were properly cooked dark-style fries.

The best part of all this was the price: $1.75 for the burger, $2.50 with fries. Ya.

The rest of the week the Brass offers burgers off its regular menu which I imagine to be of similar quality, though slightly bigger. Selections include a Western Burger with bbq sauce, onion rings, bacon and cheese, and a Bacon Mushroom Swiss Burger. Prices range from $7.75-8.95 and include fries.

And then there is the O-line Burger. The Brass has a habit of hiring the Queen's football team as bouncers which is probably where the idea, and the name, came from. The O-line Burger, a double patty burger with bacon, substitutes two grilled cheese sandwiches for the bun.


And yes, we ate it. It took four of us. No regrets.
