After finding some questionable street parking - there was a carpet of broken glass from a breakin nearby - I stepped inside. This place is... unusual. I've never been to a joint with a two-level bar which was interesting. At 5pm on a weekday, the vibe was peaceful and light. A few UC girls popped in for shots and got carded. A bunch of locals were hanging out. I simply enjoyed my PBR and the show. [Review 20486 overall - 213 in Ohio - 1466 of 2023.]

The vibe is laid-back, welcoming, and never pretentious -- just good people and good drinks. And when those late-night cravings hit? The chicken tenders are the move.

The bartender was very nice. I ordered an amaretto sour, which didn't much taste like an amaretto sour; more like watered down Kool-Aid with a touch of sour. I'm sure it's much better if you're ordering whiskey or a beer. I would give it another try and just order something different next time. I didn't take indoor pics since there were so many people and I try to honor privacy. ;)

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.

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.

It's cash only so be aware of that, but the drinks are also really cheap so a $20 will go a long way. We were there on a weeknight so I don't know how service handles on busy nights, but it was perfectly good for us. Lots of regulars to this neighborhood staple. Biggest issue is the bathroom, which does not lock so is... not ideal.

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!
