I started going to Brass Tap when I moved to Raleigh in 1996. When Tony owned the place there was…read moreSeveral Tournaments a year which drew some of the top players in the country. Several times a year Tony would have Deep pit Barbeque going on outside. When you walked through the door if you were a regular, Tony knew your name and would come by and say hello and chat for a while. The tables are still very good to play on, some in the back have tight pockets. Great to practice on.

Came in to meet with a large group of friends, and we had a wonderful evening…read more No league was playing (which we could tell from the whiteboard detailing pool table reservations and league nights) so we were able to play some rounds of pool as well as use their dart boards. As a dart fanatic, I was happy to find 4 high quality unoccupied dart boards with a seating area adjacent. Ashley was beyond wonderful, and tended to our whole party quickly and personably. Her kind demeanour would pull me back to visit alone. Looking forward to ordering food the next time I visit! There seem to be a variety of wing flavours.

The older lady at the bar was very rude. As soon as we walk in we were ignored and had to wait. We…read morethen asked for a pool table just for the 2 of us. She said we only had 30 minutes to play and we said that was fine. She had then assumed my fiancé was drunk and said he was not allowed to order any alcohol. Mind you I am pregnant and he has been sober for 6 years. We never asked for any alcohol or had the intent of ordering any she just assumed. It was absolutely unprofessional and we walked out. It also smelt of mildew. Would never recommend this place to anyone. Power trip af.

I feel as if a lot of people come to cities expecting a lot, but they seem to just be a very local bar.. service is quick because there was not too many people ( about 50 people here.

On Mondays their drink special is $5 for any draft, what a steal! We all enjoyed a drink and a few games. I love the decor and vibes in Boxcar, the artwork is really punk and cool looking. My favorite game, The Lucky Duck, was broken (the claw wouldn't extend far enough to reach any ducks). I reported this to a staff member and she let me pick out any 2 ducks I wanted! The Pokemon pinball was fun too, I love the variety of pinball machines.
