Review from Bryan C.

Brass Taps has quickly became my "first date" place to bring a girl. Access is the first reason: it is on a 24 hour streetcar line, a short walk from my apartment, and plenty of street parking is always available. The second, and probably more valid reason, is that it offers a great little atmosphere for any type of situation. When you first walk in there are a series of sofas in front of a fire place. Up a set of stairs is standard bar seating which also doubles as a performance area on certain days. Then towards the back there are the pool tables that have booths lining the walls.
The menus are fairly simple with their specialty being their pizza. Every day there is their daily special which is always a great deal and only includes things that people should order there like their pizza or lasagna. Having been there quite a few times already I have tried a large portion of their menu and have never been upset with my food, and neither has anyone I have been there with. On weeknights the service is a little slower as it is the bartender that also serves as a waiter, and the place is never empty enough to get constant attention. I am an impatient patron at times, but in all the times I have been to this Brass Taps I have only had to go up to the bar to get another beer once; that is a huge jump of an improvement from the location at Logan and Danforth. On weekends they always have a few more staff roaming around so you are never lacking in what you need.
I don't like to use this often as I have become somewhat of a regular (and I would find it to look a little cheap in front of a first date), but they have a 2 for 1 coupon available at http://www.dine.to/bra... as well to help bring people into the bar. They also have their full menu and everything posted there, so give it a look-see. I have never been disappoint, and I don't think you will be either.
And on a very side note, don't let the rainbow "gay pride" flag on the outside keep you away if you are not homosexual, Brass Taps is a place for everyone! -

Brass Taps is fine and generally inoffensive, but I would never come here on my own outside of a baseball team event.
The okay:
- The breaded chicken sandwich is acceptable. Ask for the mayo on the side
- The calzones are okay
- The patio is alright
- They take debit
- The staff is generally alright
- Very accommodating to large groups
The bad:
- I have never loved my food here, but it has never really been THAT bad
- The beers always taste slightly watery/funny
- It's too expensive for the quality of food (but the portions are very large)
So the summary is, thank you for welcoming my baseball team every week and having good service, your food is not amazing but it's not that bad, and the restrooms are usually clean. -

The Brass Taps is a pub that has the good luck is being far enough away from the sketchiness of Sherbourne that it's in pleasant cabbagetown. However, for business purposes, it has the bad luck of being on the otherside of sketchy Sherbourne for all the Ryerson and UofT kids.
The Brass Taps is just like any other pubbish place, with sports and fried pub food and the usual beers you'll find anywhere. The times I've been there, it's been emptier than full, but there's usually some people there. The staff is friendly and pretty quick on service. -
