She been working there for a long time. It was six of us so we tried to figure out how to play pool with six people cus we only grabbed one table lol. We figured it out and did it by color.. yellow/oranges vs. blue/purple vs. red/burgandy.. then whoever knocked their balls out all first have to go for the green before they go for black. LOL we had a good time. Me and my team mate was in the lead up until they ordered a pitcher of beer and that shit had me tipsy I wasn't seeing straight. Got me off my game! We lost. Boooo! We was gonna play darts after but they was already closing up. It was fun. Idk who was playing the songs tho but it was a rock star kinda night lol. It wasn't packed at all. I also seen they sell pizzas. We didn't get to try cus they already closed up when we walked in. Only had an hour to play. It was just enough time for one game lol. Or did we play two games??!

This posted 13 years ago:…read more I'm not even a Bar person. I am a Karaoke person. To me, there is no bad Karaoke. Either you clap 'cause it's great, the person really tried, or just because it's OVER. The first time I went to the Brig I was impressed by some of the clientele at this rather cheesy location on Blackstone (where it has been forever) that night..... I remember one really large young lady who didn't spare the tattoos but most people were so friendly and down-to-earth that I just had to accept them, missing teeth and all. This is how it should be. NO POSERS OR HATERS ALLOWED.I felt quickly accepted, myself. After a while it feels like someone's front room...if they had a bar, pool table, dart board, jukebox, and ATM machine in it. Country. Rock. Ballads. Substituting your own lyrics. ("Turn around, barfly." Can you say "Total Eclipse of the Heart?") Joy. Peace. Karaoke. Can't we all just get along?? Oh, the Humanity....... I've seen people of every age, race, and socio-economic status at the Brig, which I happen to enjoy. Hoopties, Harleys, and Jaguars in the parking lot .The décor is interesting when you take the time to look at it and the bathrooms are clean. I always feel safe and have a great time... which is the only reason I would ever bother to go out in the first place. Joe, Donny, and Brian are the best 'tenders alive (in my humble opinion), are skilled at quickly defusing any potential "situations".....and yes, it's Brian with the Lynyrd Skynyrd T-Shirt, ZZ-Top key chain, and that world-famous Mullet. He is a DOLL and so entertaining it hurts... since you just can't stop smiling. I like Wednesdays when Doug is the K-J, and there are typically less drunks about on the street than there are on the weekends in Fresno and I don't have to feel like I'm taking my life in my hands just to get there. Lucky me, I work nights and PM's so I never have to get up early, even during the week. Doug's still working on his song selection but he's so cuddly that I just have to "Wave my Hands in the Air like I don't CARE!!" Five Star Dive Bar. Yes. Two thumbs up for The Brig. 13 YEARS AGO - what's happening now. No Donny, no Joe, no Brian, Tonya the "door gal" has now become a bartender...

I feel like it has improved the atmosphere and made it more fun without taking away the original aesthetic. It's roomy and spacious- you will never feel shoulder to shoulder. They have revamped the lounge area with more comfortable seating. The upstairs "library" is open publicly now from what I saw. We were able to go upstairs at any time and enjoy drinks with a completely different vibe. Hosting a bday here was easy and stress free. The owner was accommodating and even offered linens to us for the tables. We brought pizza and desserts but not our drinks out of respect to the bar. Bartender was cool too!
