Detail for Brass Rail :
oh.... the brass rail. it brings up memories of the old days, of karaoke, of side-splitting laughter, of good prices, of hennepin avenue at it's best. well, the new brass rail makes me so sad. what are they thinking? it is a new owner, new staff, and a lack of (ANY) energy. at least with the old place, you knew that no matter what, cool bartender was going to touch you on the hand, say "HEY" and be happy you are there. They'd usuallyy tell you a funny story, light some candles, and make the whole thing memorable. The new "idea" is suits only (only dress shoes.... i"m not kidding!" and bartenders that take your money like a parking attendant. no idea whether or not they work on hennepin or on 694. Anyway, I went to see if I could have more great memories but while it is beautiful, the door staff are hot, ..... I am not comfortable with the idea that everyone has to wear the same shoes and look the same (white and pressed
suits)... yeah, I said it. Why? Not even in NYC do places like this survive.... dunno. anyway, my review is to go at your own risk if your first time. (the new manager lesley is a horrible woman) and enjoy the decorations and furniture. if you are an old regular, don't hurt yourself and disappoint yourself. Instead, go to the saloon, the 90s, or the eagle where the rest of the regulars ended up. - mr mpls, 10/25/2009
Robert Kappers: We all know this is you spreading this crap. You got the boot, now get over it and get off line trying to trash the place and ruin it for those of us who still work there and have pride in the place. Yes, Vuvu is an idiot, but your interpretation (from the outside) are not accurate and you know it. You are just being vindictive and are embarrassing yourself. - me, 01/29/2009
The Brass Rail has changed! Now under management by a straight guy with no insight about the gay community. The bar is hurting financially and the owner doesn't have a clue how to run a business. Our gay bars are falling one by one because uneducated money hungry people are trying to be gay business people. The Brass Rail is now catering to the straight twinks just to keep the bar afloat. Thus, making the people who have been part of that bar for many years and are happily gay are now feeling uncomfortable and out of place. Johnny VuVu the bar owner should live outside of the country because he is a disgrace to the gay community of Minneapolis and everyone that is a tourist here. - a former employee, 05/12/2008
I had such a nice time on Christmas day/night that, I slipped on ice the next morning. Kidding asde, Bob was so nice and handsome. Jonathan made my night twice. Such a wit. Bob is such a hunk, especially, inglasses. Wow! I can't wait to come back. Watching the primaries and Hillary is winning. Yeah baby! Julius - julius bell, 01/08/2008
The Brass Rail is a Gay Bar with stiff drinks, and a Sinatra signing bartender. - JoeBu, 04/04/2003
