Friends have been talking about this bar for a long time, and I finally ended up going. The venue is chill, with a cool atmosphere. It's dark and feels dingy, but in a good way. The wall art is unique and gives you lots to look at during your visit. They have lots to offer for cocktails and beers
It's what you'd expect from a little bar - maybe a little less than that... Probably should be 4 stars. There isn't a proper kitchen but the food they put together is quite good. Not a huge beer selection but it's decent. Good bar service but no table service as far as I know. A solid 4, generously
Simply the best selection of beers we came across in Hamilton. Some brilliant beer from Badlands, Third Moon, Counterpart & even a Chimay beer on draught. Highly recommended if in Hamilton
I'd be a regular if I lived nearby. Large beer selection, nice vibe, no table service but good bar service, very friendly vibe.
Washrooms are down a flight of stairs and have that beloved hipster broken down look. Very much reminded me of my early 20's in TO in the 'aughts. Only two washrooms, full
Felt like a coffee shop but was a bar. Great craft beer selection. Quick service. Chill vibes. Would love to come back the next time I’m in town.
Cute little bar! Nice decor, lots of unique cocktails so you better be feeling a bit adventurous.
The first couple of times I came, I didn’t like the atmosphere, but every time since it has grown exponentially on me. The beer selection is extensive and the atmosphere is right between crowded and cozy. If you can get a seat on the back patio in good weather, you can’t beat it.
Reminds me of what
Cool little spot with a serious craft beer listing and probably one of the only craft beer bars with Portuguese vinho verde so that's kind of neat. Small and dim, quiet atmosphere.
What a good time at the brain. Such a cosey home like feel and they have a patio that is so quaint.
Decor aside they sheer variety of beers and mixed drinks immediately let's you know that this isn't a generic dive bar that you're used to.
The bar tenders are knowledgeable and will recommend a dri
Fantastic bar! Highly recommend for beer lovers. Great cocktails too
Burst through the door here on a Saturday night like someone owed me money. My old man and I were out tearing it up before he was going away for 2-3. We saddled up at the bar rail and let it fly. We pounded Black Russian after Black Russian until the heavy set woman beside us became unrecistable. Au
Always love going to The Brain. Amazing selection of craft beer, cider, cocktails and shots.
I haven't eaten here yet, we usually go for a drink but they do serve some food items.
We especially love the eclectic decor and vibe.
The Brain Bar is a place for everyone. Undergrad, grad student, 30, 40, 75, your age and occupation doesn't matter. It's a place to meet friends, and a place to run into friends or if you're up for it the back patio is a great place to make new friends.
Suit, or scrubs, or steel toes. The Brain is
Came in for the first time and enjoyed myself. Simple menu, mostly sandwiches, and a few other items. Excellent selection of beers. The bartender was extremely polite and courteous.
A cute and eclectic bar on James street. Serves cocktails and craft beers, a great place for a casual outing!
Need a quick pint from a tasty selection or have a friend visiting Hamilton... this is always top of my list. Simple and relaxing. No shortage of drinks to try and tunes to enjoy.
A unique, artsy vibe. Lots of local pours on tap and not too busy (went on a Thursday night). Probably not the best place to eat a big meal but if you're looking for a good craft beer, cider, or cocktail, you can't to wrong.
