...make sure you know what the rules of the pool table are the night you're there. I kicked some guy and his girlfriend's butts at pool and they got all hungup about the fact that I didn't have a partner. Whatever. I beat you both, so gettaoutamyface! As for the Brig itself, it IS a cool bar. Bar tenders are cool and none of that ""dump the drink for another one with less alcohol if you don't tip me"" BS here. Drinks are also reasonably priced considering there's no door charge to get in. But here's my advice: hit it on a week night when it's not so crowded. I've been going here for two years, and that's when it's most relaxing. Otherwise, you may as well head up to Hollywood for the kind of crowd you'll get here on the weekends.
Pros: fair price on drinks, good crowd, good ambiance
Cons: sore sports on pool
