Downtown Brody’s

I am sorry but worse bartenders ever! Could never recommend this place!!!
Do not ask for liquor waste of money. No room to dance.

Garbage. …went there after a few months and same old crap. For 2 hrs me and one other street dancer were dancing. Then it was fine, with no ventalation, I went back in for one last song and security said «we could not monopolize the dace floor» I have a snapchat of NO ONE DANCING OR EVEN STANDING ON THE FLOOR 20 mins prior. I told them they never have to worry about taking my money again. Waste of time and money. Better off going to Greensboro. P. S. 3 other people were dancing and everyone else was standing looking dumb. Place sucks BIG TIME if you like current music and not being harassed DO NOT GO. …oh but they don’t harass the drug dealers or smokers w no ventalation… LAME.

Awful place, bad fights every time I’ve been and staff goes from rude to to telling you to «get the f@*# out» the MOMENT last call is announced

grrreat off-​the-​wall place! great beer, drinks, etc. cozy and awesome bartender folks! we frequent this place often due to the relax and laid back ambiance! definitely highly recommend for solos or just a gathering!!!

I honestly found this spot with one other traveler and we made it our go to bar. Its a small little dive but we ALWAYS HAVE a blast. Its fun, the vibes are awesome, drinks are a good price! WE LOVE IT!!!

I’ll start by saying that, as dive bars go, Brody’s is great. I have been there a few times and enjoyed myself. However, after last night I will never go back.
My gf and I stopped in a little after midnight, sat at the bar, and were served immediately. As other reviewers note, there is an eclectic, alternative sort of crowd there which I usually enjoy. We had come from a nice dinner and were dressed nice, possibly making us stand out. At any rate, I was at the bar, conversing with my gf with my back to a group of girls. I didn’t see it, but my gf told me one of the girls was repeatedly acting like she was hitting or stabbing the back of my head. I turned, politely tapped her on the shoulder, and asked if I had done something to offend her. Within seconds, I was surrounded by several angry men, saying that I was threatening her and I needed to leave. I told them it was fine, but the manager got in my face and threatened me. They didn’t even want to hear what really happened. As I left, I was followed down the street by several men, and probably would have been jumped had a kind bouncer from Tate’s not pulled me inside.
As my girlfriend closed the tab with me outside, she said she was also verbally abused and threatened. The bartender apologized, and actually said, «I knew something like this might happen.» Not sure what that means, other than being judged by our apparel in a room full of dirty rednecks and butch lesbians. I have always enjoyed the gay community for their acceptance of all people, but this was clearly not the case.
Moral: don’t go to Brody’s if you look like a normal, respectable member of society. They don’t take kindly to outsiders.

I’m a big fan of Brody’s. It’s a dive bar full of all walks of life. The first time I stopped by was just for a couple quick beers on the patio. Super cheap! The next trip to Brody’s lasted much longer. It was the last stop during a Birthday Crawl. Like I mentioned before, the crowd is diverse and it rocks. Everyone seemed to get along like we were old pals. Drinks were bought for strangers and a DJ made an appearance later in the night. I think I danced with the new bar pals. It’s starting to come back to me. Yep, fairly sure there was dancing… and bellowing out old rap songs. Nice.

The staff is very friendly and they are fairly hip on their shot knowledge. It’s not Lemon drop, lemon drop… Bueller, Bueller. My bar tab would suggest that I really loved a particular Christmas-​y shot with Peppermint schnapps and perhaps Bailey’s Irish Cream. Mmmm. Also, Jello shots for a buck and Modelo Especial cans for $ 2. Dangerous and wonderful mix. I’ll be back!

Super Sweet bar staff and amazing drink specials…$ 1 jello shots downtown? Concoctions like Pudding shots? Pumpkin bombs? SAY WHA??? :) Has a real neighborhood feel, reminded me of my beloved Philly taverns back home. One minus it is on the smallish side so if you gave with a HUGE group seating is limited. PS: The bathrooms are REALLY really nice!
