What People Are Saying About Brennan's

Featured Review

In Short – Patrons can get their daily dose of sporting match-ups on one of the many TV monitors. Pool tables, dartboards and pinball machines are available for those who feel like playing a game of their own. A tiny stage and a sliver of a dance floor occupy one corner where local bands perform everything from '80s covers to Irish folk songs. But the real draw is the long-standing Thursday night tradition: turtle racing.

Bartenders who suffer from mental illness

by rasprenkle at Citysearch

THis bar could be so much better, its understaffed by local idiots, one blonde/ brunette girl is mentally ill, you can see it in her face, the other two guys are flippin morons, and self involved; You never get a drink timely, the patrons are the only cool people. The bartenders also EXPECT a Top Dollar tip or they wont serve you, The owner is an OLD man who has NO clue how to run a descent bar. AVOID this place, and spend your hard earned money else where.

  • Pros: NOTHING
  • Cons: EVERYTHING
5 Star Rating: Highly Recommended

alcohol, music, entertainment, turtles, crowd, reasonably priced=Brenn's

by enrikay at Citysearch

This place is amazing, it is a good place to go right after work or just to hang out. They race turtles in the back patio for a couple of hours and they have a huge crowd! They have bleachers and provide a few chairs, but it attracts a huge crowd, about a hundred this past Thursday. If you point at any turtle, you get a ten dollar fee, I think that is ridiculous but hey, they make money off it, and they throw a handkerchief to you and comeover with a bucket. It attracted a lot of guys and yes, women go up to the middle of the race track for turtles and yes, they bend over and to many guys it is entertaining. There are plenty that volunteered, there was even a couple of milfs too.

  • Pros: turtles, band, and the chicks, lol.
  • Cons: parking and the wait to get in
