When I walked in, a lively bunch of folks having a good time. I decided this was a spot I could stay. Sitting down with my beer in the back, that's when the music started. Super loud and from a speaker that was just a little bit blown. Enough to be grating. I finished the beer and headed elsewhere. If you're looking for a good loud time, this might be the spot for you.

They had Ohio Lottery machines inside and broadcast the Keno games inside the bar and also paid out in the bar. There was a pool table and a couple dart boards as well. There was not a waitress and the bartender was taking care of a full bar plus the tables. She did a fabulous job! She took care of our drinks, I had a Woodford Reserve Bourbon and coke and the hubby had Country Boy Shotgun Wedding beer. We ordered salsa and chips, patty melt and onion rings, and potstickers. Only the salsa and chips were lackluster. We would definitely stop again if we are in the neighborhood. Sadly I did not win on my Keno tickets LOL.

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!

I was going to eat burger but nachos sounded good along with pretzel/beer cheese (appetizer fare). I ordered a Miller lite on draft to wash it down. Atmosphere was decent but unless other fare is better then I would not go to eat the food. Pretzels were meh with a really salty cheese. The ground beef nachos lacked any flavor and with microwaved cheese clinging to the chips looked like a mound of mush; I do not recommend either items. The draft Miller light (yes I know it is not boojie micro brewed beer) was cold so that was decent. I give this place a 2 star, meaning I would eat here (trying a different menu item) but someone would definitely floating the bill. 1 - Just go on a fast or eat dirt 2- Crazy hungry or someone else paying 3- Not bad and not great 4 - Yummy Yummy 5 - OMG!

The burger was fantastic, juicy, flavorful, and perfectly cooked. The chicken wrap was just as good, packed with flavor and not dry like so many places manage to do. Even the Caribbean salad was a standout! The fruit tasted unbelievably fresh, like it came straight from a farmers market that morning. But the real showstopper? The onion straws. Do yourself a favor and pay the extra couple bucks for them they're out of the park good. Friendly service, great atmosphere, and food that's way better than it has any right to be for a casual spot. Highly recommend.
