Fantastic venue for live music and cold beer! We enjoyed INOA band over the weekend and the patio out back was perfect. Only downside was bar was down some steps but that didn't stop even this guy with a broken leg since Taft, Braxton and Reinguiest were on tap. Highly recommended for a great evening out around Clifton.

Nice local bar. Service was ok. Went here on a Monday evening. People tended to be very clique-ish.

The beer selection is diverse, but expect to pay at least $5 per pint. Great bar, nice atmosphere. Definitely going back.

The main reasons I go are for shuffleboard, pool tables, jukebox, the expansive outdoor area, and great people.

Went here to celebrate my birthday with some friends and was basically harassed out of the place…read more We went to find a spot to settle in and had brought in waters because it's a hot summer day. I was unsure if this was allowed but nothing was said upon entrance so I thought it was okay. not even five minutes into being there we were aggressively told to dump out our drinks so I go ahead and do so immediately. We went towards the bar a few minutes later to order a drink and to play pool afterwards. before we could say or do anything the bartender yelled at us to order something and accused us of things. very alienating and rude I would not go here if you don't like to be treated poorly.

The only reason gave it more stars than I wanted to because the place was so cute…read more I traveled from Texas to see a concert in Newport. I chose to pick local dive places to visit to support small businesses. I came in and the place was dead silent in the front. The bartender was not welcoming. I said hello. She proceeded to tell me I couldn't sit at the bar because people were there but they weren't. Which is fine I just wanted to order. I asked if there was a menu or a recommendation. Explained I traveled from Texas. She said nope no menu. And gestured like "this is it" I said ok no worries. Asked if she had a local beer to recommend she said no. She doesn't drink. I said ok that's fine just pour me anything local I like all kinds of beer. She got upset and said I needed to help her out and pick something. Wild to me. As someone in the industry that would be my point to serve them the best or most expensive thing. She just didn't seem to care. I really was excited to come here. And only spent $5.50. Could have spent alot more if the hospitality was there. Drank half my beer and left to the next spot.

Stopped by on Christmas Eve - we went to a few local spots; this was one of our stops. It was busy…read more& lively. Strong drinks & reasonably priced.

It's hard to find a great dive bar in my area. Also, I am not one to give a 5 star rating on a…read morebar, but this place is awesome and off the hook! My husband likes to find neighborhood/dive bars. He would drive by this place alot and wanted to check it out. He loves it here and mentioned that the crowd very laid back. So on a Sunday afternoon, I wanted to watch the Bengals game at this place. Brother's Cafe is located on Montgomery Road in Silverton. It's across the street from Silverton Cafe and Italianette Pizza. Occupancy maximum-49. Stepped in and was greeted by the bartender. She was super sweet and waited on us right away! Decor: Vintage and Nostalgia galore!!!! LOVE it!! Old vintage beer/neon beer signs everywhere and loved that there was a telephone booth across from of the bar! There is also a pool table and touch jukebox to play music. Also, there is at least three wide screen televisions to watch sports. Love the setup of the bar (full service bar, selling top shelf brands as well.) They do accept credit cards, but must be a minumum of $10.00 purchase. The whole joint and even the bathrooms are clean. Usually bars have that stinky mildew smell, not this place! Now for the best part!!! Alcohol is cheap and reasonable!! YAY!! For $17.75 (we watched the entire Bengals game) we got: -Pitcher of Pabst Blue Ribbon beer -Coors light bottle -My husband got two more Pabst beers (on tap) -Hudy Delight on tap At the time, customers brought in food for pot luck because they were celebrating a friend's birthday. The bartender told us we can helped ourselves. That was awfully nice. We definately dove in and enjoy the appetizers. Usually on Sundays they have pizza. Besides Sidelines in Norwood, this will is now my favorite go to bar. Everyone was so generous, great vibe/atmosphere and felt welcomed. Definately check this bar out! I really appreciated the old school decor!
