The ultimate university college bar experience. Great white brats ! I bartender here in 1989 and it hasn't changed much, including the owners, I'm told.

Jason Flood

Got the $5 Wednesday lunch special . It's a brat , fries and drink. Great brat , fries were a bit salty but good enough. Went solo but interesting atmosphere. Sure it could get wild at night.

Jamie Iacobucci

Your classic college bar w/a wide variety of beers and a great menu of appetizers & burgers . Can't wait to get this layover again & have some sweater weather beverages at the outdoor patio !

Matthew Taub

Brats are great and they have a solid beer selection . They also have a secure phone charging station if you are low on battery.

Become Mayor and get free food until your over ridden. Sounds like a steal to me!!!!!!!! Stop in for a yummy red brat ( the red, white and blue is my all-time fave!)

Eric Mathews

Cheddar Head Red Brat was excellent. Be sure to get a Spotted Cow to go with it.

Delicious brats (especially the red), beer , and sports ... what more can you ask for?

One of the most fun drink specials in town is Brats ' beer exchange on Mondays. Prices fluctuate like a stock market--the more you buy, the higher the price goes and vice-versa. Every now and then you

There's a bunch of EA Sports events here throughout the year. Game giveaways, food, T-Shirts, you name it.

Katie Gallagher

Nothing special, I'm sure it's good if your drunk. My waffle fries were weird and soggy. Someone I was with said the brat burger was good. They have Angry Orchard on tap

Aaron Silvers

It is tough to choose if the red or the white brat is best. My suggestion? Order both. Read more

Tuesdays are flip night - guess the flip of the quarter right and get 75% off your drink order!

Amy Van Meter

Was super pumped getting here but soon disappointed. The bratwursts were mediocre at best and the nuclear wings were as mellow as if they had been tossed in ketchup . Nice but spacey servers.

Chuq Yang

Sit at a cow table!

BS

They have a 10% check on special on quesadilla 's... They don't have this item on the menu.

Off The Quad

$5 dollar Skyy Stiffies on Saturday are a must. But make sure you don’t miss Flip Night every Tuesday.

Brad Leege
