Came for the turtle racing, stayed for Chassen's great service. Such a fun bartender and adds great vibes to the place. Will be back for that reason!
The most amazing Irish sports bar on the west side. Fuck jamesons. Go Irish. Also they are the sweetest
Drinks were pretty good but I did come here just for the turtle races... The vibes itself were pretty nice and there was live music a little bit after as well. Bartenders are pretty quick and polite. It has a very spacious back area so if you feel overwhelmed by the crowd it isn't too hard to get some space, which is nice.
Didn't get food or drinks. Service was good from what I could tell. Buying the raffle tickets for the turtle race was easy. Decorated for Saint Patrick's all year long because it is an Irish bar of course. The atmosphere for the turtle race was really great and not too crowded either
Old school since 1972. I stopped by to check out this place and I will have to come back some day to watch the turtle races. The beer on tap is a bit pricey and I'm not sure if they offer happy hour. It's a big place with lots of outdoor seating and I can just imagine how packed this place must get on a sunny day.
Brennan's is a staple around the west side. Obviously the turtle racing and the aquarium to visit the hard working reptiles give them a standing ovation, but I also adore the charm and quaint feel of being at grandma's home - with the couches for comfort, but without horrid floral design! It's either completely packed, or completely empty. It only loses a star because of my own personal development being in my 30s, and it's a rather college-filled bar.
We had a great time watching one of the WS games here. Everyone was so easy going and the bartenders were very cool! Great vibes all around! We did have some appetizers. Delicious! Especially the buffalo cauliflower.
We came for the turtle races on Thursdays! It's so sweet that they donate the proceeds to charity. I'm kinda short so I had to watch the turtle races from the TV screens, but that's ok. The bathrooms were extremely clean! I ordered a Paloma and it was ok, I don't think I would get it again but the bartender was a really nice. We also ordered some food which was decent for bar food. There was also live music which was cool!
Recently have been coming here a lot this week and the food is great the turtle racing is fun and my friends always have a good time here. The service from the bar staff is 10/10 compared to other chain restaurants with bars. If you're looking for something chill, safe, reasonable in price!!! Clean and fun! Deff recommend coming here
Sports bar vibes. They hold the famous turtle races every Thursday and Saturday. During the races there is a ton of shouting and cheering for which turtle you places your "bet" on. Arrive early and grab a seat or spot around the race circle and get ready to cheer for your favorite turtle. They have a ton of beer. But as a person who doesn't drink alcohol it is still a fun environment and they have sodas and redbulls. On other days they have trivia nights and pool tables and corn hole. It's a great spot for big groups. The food there is also surprisingly great. It's all bar food but at least it is good bar.
