The Brass Rail

We came in because of the deal they had advertised but I think it was misleading. They had one that said $8 for a pitcher but the pitcher is the size of a glass and they charged more anyway. That wouldnt have been too bad since its still a bit of a deal but the staff was very rude (which is something I never say). When we asked for the $8 pitcher and he asked which one, we said the one that was $8, he said he still needed to know, so we got the hazy. When he gave us a higher bill, we asked why it wasnt $8 and he said "tell me what you got" multiple times even when we asnwered to drill in that it was a hazy and not whatever the other one was even though we originally tried to order it. Overall I think we probably just had a one off bad experience but I probably wont be back.

The bartenders were quick and sociable. Wasn’t really a busy night so it was not hard to get anything from bar. Watch a great show with good ppl around. The lighting in the bar was very chill and not too flashy. Didn’t try any food since we ate before coming out. Definitely would come back again.

The Brass Rail never disappoints! The ambience is always lively, welcoming, and full of great energy. A huge shoutout to Urbano, the owner — his leadership, warmth, and passion truly make this place special. You can feel the care he puts into every detail. And of course, Mama Chancla brings the heart, humor, and vibrant personality that make the atmosphere unforgettable. One of the best spots in San Diego. Highly recommend! 🌟

The Big Gay Picnic was a great drag Show like they have been having for years was a great escape from the daily worries of life that drag us down

It is diabolical how loud this club/bar plays their music till 2am. They can easily prevent it by closing their windows so it doesn’t wake up the whole neighborhood but they choose not to.

I needed help after the club closed. I had no phone and was a 30 min drive from home with no cash on me. I asked one of the security guys who worked there to call someone for me so I could at least have someone come get me. He replied, "you see I just got off work right?" And walked away. Never ever again. Thankfully some nice bartenders from Number One down the street stopped and helped me and let me use their phone when I want even at their bar that night. The Rail has some horrible employees working there.

The drinks are good. I brought a female friend in . Immediately the other customers were saying women don't belong here. Calling each other the C word. You tell the staff the just say it's part of how we live
