The store has this mystique of an old candy store that was converted into a bar. The actual bar is sturdy wood with some designs that'll knock your knees if you are not careful. The bartender was amazing, slanging drinks and keeping up the conversations. She was a bartender that would listen to you as you drain your heart over a gin-n-tonic and next put some yackmo Polack back in his place. She makes the gin and tonics strong at a moderate price. 3.50 per. The folks in here are locals; coming in for other patrons birthdays and the like. If you're there long enough, mind your business or have some eye candy with you, they'll buy you a round which ain't that bad- though, it was Hypnotiq, you don't complain. They have an internet jukebox that'll gouge your wallet if you're not careful. Fantastic bar. Just keep quiet during Nascar talks.

Service was very helpful and patient with my trying to decide what to order. I ordered an Italian beef with red sauce and fries. It was amazing. Ambience is great.

ALES IN COMPARISON…read more The bar formerly known as Brixie's is still a solid place to enjoy a beer. I can't recall exactly how many times I'd given the previous tenant my business over the years, though it has to have been in the dozens. I loved their vibe which could be described as relaxed at best (and dingy at worst), and though the kitchen was no great shakes I appreciated specials on their burgers and pints. Fast forward to 2022, and this place is now exclusively a brewery under the name Imperial Oak. They've also got a location on Archer Ave that I've been to several times. Funny enough, both have 2+ pinball tables and tiny parking lots, however this location on Ogden Ave is much more accessible than the Imperial Oak in Willow Springs. Speaking of pins, their two machines (Simpsons Pinball Party & a retooled Medieval Madness) are $1/game and play beautifully. They've got shuffleboard and some events throughout the month like weekly bingo & trivia. They don't have a kitchen, but sometimes a foodtruck comes in and you can always B.Y.O.F. Bartenders are easygoing; if you aren't feeling an IPA or barrel stout they also have hard seltzers as well as a full bar. The crowd is predominantly locals and after-work peeps. If you can't find a space in their lot, try the angled spots at the Sherwin-Williams next door (just be discreet). * TL;DR * A couple brews, a couple score-based replays on pinball, life is A-OK. Back when this place was Brixie's, it was much quieter and business seemed slow, but I liked it. These days, it's usually bustling with activity whenever I stop by, and that's great news for Imperial Oak. Beer is reasonably priced (Buzz Lite is a delightful honeyweiss for $6/pint) and the taps are varied. I'm switching jobs in the next few weeks, so the odds of me coming through here again are slim but I'll always keep them in mind should I find myself in the Brookfield area. I'd recommend Imperial Oak, for sure.
