'Cheers' in Brooklyn, perhaps? The burgeoning Atlantic Avenue and Smith Street restaurant scene has spawned a welcome homey tavern along one of its main drags to balance out the profusion of boutique restaurants that have sprouted like wild chives in an abandoned field. Billed as an Irish bar, but with more originality, The Brazen Head features quaint gatherings like Saturday's Stew with Lou, which features a different variety of stew each week to accompany a hand-pulled ale and afternoon ball game. Beer lovers take note: On the blackboard beer list they even write the date that each keg was tapped.For all Those Workaholics Who like to come to a Bar & work on their Laptops The Brazen Head Is Now Wifi Accessible. However, we suggest after 2 or 3 beers or cocktails, you close your computer, relax and have a few more. Just ask bartender for code and access #'s

Editorial Review for Brazen Head – by Kat Kinsman

The Scene
There are a few standard notions of what exactly constitutes a good neighborhood bar. Ideally, it's got a convivial, comfortable air, friendly bartenders, decent drafts and an eclectic jukebox and a couple of bar snacks. Envy the denizens of the Atlantic Avenue area, because the Brazen Head has all that in spades, plus some truly stellar extras.

The Draw
The atmosphere is corner pub updated with Brooklyn small-batch fetishism. Careful touches such as posted keg-change dates and a rotating selection of luscious hand-pulled ales give hops enthusiasts little reason to leave their stools, save for wandering over to tables occasionally laden with Middle Eastern treats. Also worth noting is a solid range of single malts that may leave many Brooklynites wondering why they'd ever again have to board a d.b.a.-bound train.

Atmosphere is always pleasant, as is the staff and the owner is a solid, likeable guy with a smile and a warm hello for everyone. Lou's also a great cook and he shares his food with his customers ... chicken wings on a Monday night, assorted fruit, cheese, and crackers on Wednesday. The music is whatever the working staff is currently enjoying, the 3 TV's are usually turned to a sports channel but the place is definietly not a sports bar. Folks come in, chat, sip, read the paper or a book, watch TV, eat and just generally enjoy themselves. There's also a lovely garden in the back. There's an enormous selection of beers on tap, along with cider. There are many many scotch, vodka varieties and there is also a great selection of wines.

Pros: Service, staff, drinks, atmosphere, food
