The word on The Brass Tap
Here's the word going around
I haven't pulled in for that pretzel yet, so this is the diners' read, not mine.

By most accounts The Brass Tap splits right down the middle. Reviewers call the pretzel genuinely great, the best since Scholz Garten, with nachos and burgers that deliver and a Rowan working tables fast, friendly, and cool as hell. The beer wall does what a beer wall should, and when this place hits, it hits. Then there's the salsa, which people say tasted like watery spaghetti sauce with a splash of picante, a sting for the price, with sauces wandering spicy visit to visit. This is an adults-drinking-and-watching-football room, the reviews note, not a family dinner: no kids menu, and you'll feel it with the little ones. Know which trip you're taking.
The best pretzel since Scholz Garten? I'll grab one and let someone else risk the salsa.
The Order
Reviewers point to the pretzel, the nachos, and a burger, and say let somebody else order the salsa.
⚠ Gotcha
No kids menu and a bar-first vibe, by several accounts. Bring the game-watching crew, not the whole family.
That's the word on this one.
