Wow, it's been three years since my first review of The Brig and I still give it 5! Still going…read moreregularly and still having a blast. It's fun to be greeted by the staff and regulars when I walk in. Bartenders know what I am drinking before I even ask. It's still like family and I wouldn't change a thing! If you are looking for an easygoing time, where people are accepted and just there to have a fun time, this is the place to be.

I have been doing karaoke here for over 10 years. I was totally happy with The Brig and tried to be…read morea good patron and I would help out a little. I have discovered that management doesn't pay all its help and expects free service. There isn't a dress code for the workers or the clientele. Those that came just knew how to behave and what to wear. The air-conditioner runs constantly, the fans in the bar are going constantly and the back and front doors are open wide. It gets to cold to be comfortable in The Brig and it's because the bar tenders are too hot. Vaping goes on and nothing is done about it. Men go into the Ladies room do whatever in there and excape out the back door. I have personally experienced this twice. The service is slow and poor, at best. Tables are cleared but not wiped down. The bar now is messy and unorganized. Some of the help don't know how to mop up a spilled drink. The help dresses scantily and shows more that they need to. This might be the problem. The clientele has change and it's not the regulars that come in there any more. The clientele is moving to be a rougher, more dangerous group. Karaoke was great this last Sunday night (March 1, 2026). A few of the old crowd was there and it wasn't the dive bar we had on Saturday night (Feb 28, 2026). I will continue to go to the Brig as long as I am with my DJ. But someone in control needs to look at some of this.

This review is so long overdue! I have so many memories here dating back to when it was called…read moreStarline and it was 18 and over. Fast forward to now, it has been renamed to Strummer's but it still possesses the same concept except it's 21 and over now. I've seen cover bands here, rock bands and I've come to boogie for their themed nights like 70s night 80s night ,90s night and dark wave. The cover charge is usually five dollars. There's two bars, one adjacent to the dance floor and then the main bar with booths and seating. They do offer food as well like $5 pizza slices, Mozz, stocks, sliders and your typical bar food fare. The crowd ranges here from Young 21-year-olds to people in their 50s and 60s. It kind of depends on the theme of the night. For example, if you come on Bad Bunny night, it's all youngsters in their 20s. If you come for a disco night or 80s night, then it'll be a wider range. Security is tight and they do a good job of repelling any type of drama because it is notorious that fights breakout in the Tower, but they keep all that drama at bay here. You can always expect to have a good time especially with a group of friends. I definitely recommend checking them out and looking at their lineup to see what appeals to you.

Good size full service bar with seating and wide selection of sake, beer, liquor and awesome friendly servers/bartenders. The Double fried Korean chicken gets that extra crisp. Cant go wrong with whichever flavors. Best Korean chicken in Fresno. Lots of appetizers and sides to choose from as well. Thursday they have karaoke night which is cool especially since it's located near Fresno State so students have something to enjoy on a Thursday night.

The Chicken Katsu, bulgogi fries and the jajangmyeon. They all were delicious, but the fries were our favorite. It has a very social atmosphere, and is more of a hang out place than a traditional sit down restaurant. The service is great as well. I definitely recommend you go on the nights they do the wing specials!

Last year around this time, we loved stopping by PressBox for the outdoor space, mist sprinklers,…read moreand clean seating area. Fast forward to today, and it felt like a completely different place. We were greeted by torn-up chairs in the backyard and an overall run-down atmosphere. I told my friend we'd just grab a drink and relax, only to be informed that we'd have to pay a cover charge in 15 minutes because they were showing a UFC fight "tonight" -- even though it was only 4:35 p.m. The whole interaction was off-putting and completely illogical. Charging a cover for customers who arrived in the afternoon for a casual drink, before the evening event had even started, makes little logical sense. If people come specifically for the fight, that's understandable. But applying a cover to customers who were already there for an entirely different reason felt unreasonable and poorly thought out. Add in the dark, cluttered environment, lack of atmosphere, and virtually nonexistent customer service, and it felt like a once enjoyable spot that's sadly fallen into slow decay.
