Brothers Bar & Grill

When they first opened in spring of 2000 they would have $5.00 cup night on Thursdays...all the beer you can drink! That era kicked ass since they played good music, then it became trendy and they did away with the cup night and played clubbing musik. Haven‘t been there in awhile but its still a good place to go...cheers!

This place is HORRIBLE! I took my friends here that were black and they wouldn‘t let them in b/c they are BLACK. they were dressed VERY nicely since UNION treated them the same and wanted to avoid any excuses for not getting in but b/c one of them wore a "stright rimmed hat" they were not allowed in...even though I spotted FOUR white guys with the same type of hat. too bad that I took pictures of these people and the racist bouncer. GROW UP dumb iowan boys!

The place to go if you want to pick up a felon or a single mom with multiple kids! I guess that‘s why this place where the State of Iowa Parole Officer patrols on the weekends. Not joking, he actually does!

There is alot of Tranny guys dressed as girls on the dance floor preying upon straight guys. It funny when a dude dances with a man on accident. haha 1 dollar for barcardi 151 and coke and watching your buddy dance with a gay dude woman funny times. Place is freak show but they have good beer on tap for a dollar! NEW CASTLE

its all about those thursday night mug nightssss!!!

Some people like it, some people also like eating glue.

Thursday Mug night & 1.50 jagerbombs... enough said... definitely top 5 bar in Iowa City

Basic chain bar with chain drink specials. If you enjoy waiting in line for cheap watery "beer" this is the place to go.

Worst bar I have ever been to. I think the management should look into a different profession.

If you‘ve ever been downtown any night of the week you would see that Brothers always has tons of people in there compared to every other bar...that in itself says something

It‘s nice to have a bar you can go to without having a bunch of drunk underage kids falling all over you. The drinks are good, and fairly priced. I‘ve only ever seen people get thrown out when they are causing a scene or just being plain rude. The atmosphere is fun and the bartenders are nice. I would recommend this bar to anyone who asked. I also like the different specials they have during the week, it‘s not often that you have to pay a lot for a drink, and it‘s nice that they have so many different beers to choose from.

Brother‘s is the place to be anyday of the week. They have Awsome music and Drinks to match. Not to mention I didn‘t break my wallet either with thier beer specials. The staff is great and doesn‘t mind striking up a conversation with you if they aren‘t busy. I‘ve been going to brother‘s for three years! I‘ve never had any problems, the staff has always been great and aren‘t big muscular Bouncer‘s like most downtown bars. They‘re just normal people helping you have a Great time!
I‘m not an employee just a local Patron

i love brothers. Good tequila, great music, hot door guys, awesome bouncers, and the manager is a saint.
Do yourself a favor and go to brothers.

P.S. hot chicks go there.

We agreed to start a Bar Crawl here and in the process - we were cheated by the Manager who over charged us for refreshements and when we ask about it, we were ask to leave and even before we left we were assaulted by the "alleged" bouncers who werevicious bullies who ended up causing serious injuries to one in our party and are currently pending charges with the City of Iowa City. Lawsuits are also pending, do your self a favor and don‘t go here

Wouldn‘t call it a "dive bar", but not the best place to get a drink. A lot less crowded when the outside area is open, but the music they play is almost never good.

agreed its a dive bar, no class or style, bad music

as everyone on the board posted, its a college bar, real poor service and just plain sorry. Bad drinks, poor quality.

Its obvious that the good reviews are from people who work there. If you want hotties, dont look here. If you want good drinks made right, go somewhere else. There are a lot of awesome bars in iowa city and this is not one of them.

Not the place for me, but I‘m not in college anymore. The service has been so bad that we‘ve had to call the bar from our table to get a waitress to come over to us and the bar was almost empty at the time.

rotten DJ, weak drinks

Wow. The service is amazing! Dem Hotties with bodies...damn. HArd to resist!

I went there the other day and it took me forever to get a drink and it wasnt even that busy. When I did get served the drink was so weak I had to buy a lot of them to even get buzzed.

Best bar I‘ve ever been to! Definitely the hottest bartenders in town!

Craziest place to hit up any day of the week!

By far the best bar in IC! You must hate life and fun if you don‘t have the best night of you‘re life in this bar!

$1 u-call it thursday kicks ass!

Horrible place to go if you want good service and drinks. Easily the weakest drinks in town.
