What players say

The brass rail is the place to go if you’re looking for a dive bar in Portland, Melissa is the best bar tender I’ve ever encountered!! Cheap drinks and there is always someone to play pool with! I’ll definitely be back

★★★★★ Anna, Jun 2024

A friendly place with tons of character. The building is unique, has a lot of history and features artwork celebrating many of the customers who have been there over the years. I just started going there recently and always feel welcome and treated like family.

★★★★★ Jason, Aug 2024

Though I've scoured the pages of Webster's, I'm left without the proper words to describe my experience of THE Brass Rail. I came here on a cool September evening with KP and the lads, stumbling into what we thought was an unassuming local joint, though it turned out to be much more.

★★★★★ Russell’S, Oct 2025

Great venue for a punk show. Perfect dive bar. Park at the meinike up the road and you won't get towed apparently
