i love brass & their emo nights but sometimes the music is blasting SO LOUD that it sounds crunchy & not enjoyable ; bar service is usually quick esp the outdoor bar ; be aware they do a bag check & metal detector; they will make you toss out vapes before you go in if you have any on hand Parking: parking is hit or miss in this general area

Didnt even make it in the door without the security guards being extremely rude. Then we make it in the door and I was yelled at 5 different times to move out of the way and stand somewhere else by bouncers. Then the bartender was extremely rude as well. Felt very very rushed while trying to buy a round of drinks. And then while ordering the bartender stops paying attention and is trying to get other people to come get drinks. Not one staff member was nice or had a good attitude, and I work customer service for a living, so I dont see an excuse. Have been coming to Brass for years and after this experience will never come back again. Its sad to see how downhill its gotten over the years. Very bad experience. Keep the attitudes at home.

I m an architecture student, and habitually carry MANY markers/pens on me for when the creative energy hits. I made it to the point when security checks my purse and she very rudely exclaims, what are these?! - we both look at each other dead in the eye, my realization hitting that the security believes I ll graffiti the stalls. Her compromise was that I throw away my expensive art supplies, place them by the wall for public grabs, or go. I choose to go, very embarrassed. I m in my mid 20 s, this gave middle school mixer energy. I might ve returned if the confrontation wasn t so hostile, I understand they deal with a lot of shenanigans.

Went to Brass Monkey for the first time yesterday, after hearing good things from my mom. But it sadly disappointed. Security guards inside and outside are extremely rude and disrespectful. They will even try to prod at you to move. Over priced drinks. Got crowded fast so barely any room to dance and still the security guards try to push you out of the way. Bar tenders make good drinks but some were rude. But overall would not return! Don t come! There are so many other good bars out there too!

Our friends and I decided to check out this place since the music seemed to bop. IDs checked, then walked over to the security guard. She does the wand thing, then says something (I didn t understand what she said bc she was sucking on a lollipop). She says no , and I said I didn t hear you and she proceeds to say to open my bag. She starts searching my bag and says you can t come in with the excedrin bottle. Mind you the bottle in question holds about 24 caplets of excedrin. So yeah I was denied entry for a little bottle of excedrin. Thanks brass monkey, we won t be back. Picture included for reference.

I would go to Brass Monkey all the time. Been going there for a good while now and never had issues. Suddenly, I wasnt allowed in for my neck tattoo..Ive always had it. When I tried to explain my self, they cut me off and told me I wasnt allowed in. Before you say you cant have a neck tattoo and go in on a Friday Ive been there on Fridays and Saturdays before. No issues

Went out to Brass Monkey for a friends birthday and my jacket was stolen and my friend lost the key to her apartment. It was about 45 degrees and raining outside and they wouldn t let me back in to see if my jacket was there while my friends and I waited for my Uber. When we called about our lost items we got no answer. I sent a email and message on instagram and still got nothing (this was weeks ago btw). The staff were rude and unhelpful, the drinks were insanely overpriced, even for a bar/club.

Nearly broke my ankle walking off the dance floor. The foam machine suds had saturated the floor at the edge of the walkway to the bar/patio next to the DJ booth.

Seriously this place needs to get that fixed has anyone else experienced this I know I cant be the only one.

Never thought I would write a review on this place up until this past experience. I come with 3 friends and we wait in a VERY long line, ok that s fine. We finally get there and the security tells our first friend he can t come in because his boss thinks he is under the influence which is like. What? So we check out some other places and he ends up leaving, so me and my other friend decide to go back into the line and wait AGAIN since our friend that was the problem decided to go home. We finally get to the front of the line and the security now tells ME that his boss says I am under the influence and then denies ME entry. But we came here to drink??! So now are ALL of us all of a sudden under the influence??? How Incredibly stupid! I ve read the reviews of this place and it s without a doubt true. I just ignored it. But this was very annoying with no explanation, nothing just plain a WASTE OF TIME and absolutely stupid.

Drinks are not really diverse, drink prices are very high compared to the general level. The DJ plays good music, the music is very suitable for the 8x and 9x generations. The security guard inside is also quite polite, but the security guard outside is somewhat uncomfortable with foreign guests and can be said to be impolite when he pushes a foreign male guest after checking everything procedure. This is extremely disrespectful to customers. Parking: Its very difficult to find parking in this crowded downtown area. Parking costs are also quite high.

Bras monkey the biggest nerds on the block They have 5 body guards outside and have like 6 inside lol and are so touchy if you step on the white line, can t stand by the restroom for 5 seconds until a body guard starts pushing you out the way I ve been to multiple clubs from different states and I ve never been in a club with body guards that are so touchy like brass monkey Let me tell you, it s not always pretty for body guards to be so handsy with drunk people who are literally being pushed and forced to be mushed into a crowd when they are just trying to stand around and drink and chat with their friends/family I was standing by the restroom with my boyfriend for a few second to hang him my jacket and wallet so I can go to the restroom and a body guard was already there to tell us to move It s impossible to actually enjoy your time without a body guard touching you to step out their way Probably the most uncomfortable club I ve ever been in

If I could give them a 0 I would. I had the worse time here. A fight started in line and the sercuity pepper sprayed him and it got on everyone s face. I started crying so hard and begged them to let me in to go to the restroom to watch my face or give me a paper towel. The owner refused and told me I wasn t allowed to go in for the rest of the night because I was causing a problem . He even put his hands on me and started pushing me claiming he was old school and could hit a women.

So on 1/14/22 i tried using my paper id and they didn t accept it but they let my little sis (20 years old) get in. The bouncer wouldn t let me get in 25 years old cause I had a paper ID but my sis using a fake id (only 20 years old ) got in. That s the real tea they re not ready for haha. Btw airports and police officers will accept paper IDs. The bouncer was very aggressive when I wanted an explanation, it looked like he had some anger issues and wanted to throw a punch. I have not gone back since then, there are many more classy and friendlier places :)

Went yesterday was turned away for having a vape. In 2023. At an outdoor bar. The time before I was bait and switched by the scammy bartender. I had a ranch water that was $4. Went for another the bartender waved a bottle of patron when I asked for another ranch water. I said sure thinking it would be the same, he then proceeded to charge $44 for 2 tequila ranch waters smh.

The $10 card minimum is absurd. Do you know how unbelievably miniscule debit/credit card merchant fees are these days? The rates have gotten so trivial that most places have even done away with $5 card minimums. In reality there are incentives for merchants to encourage card swipes, as customers will spend more to get their cards cashback/rewards bonuses. Anyways I did not tip the bar staff, and until they do away with that $10 minimum, I will continue to not tip the bar staff, seeing as how the place is making more than enough profit to pay their staff a livable salary by charging $10 for one beer. If thats the only way you guys can pull a profit with hundreds of customers every Friday night, your owners financially inept.

I don t usually write reviews but here I am. I ve been twice. First time was cool and by that I mean, no hassle or anything that made you second guess. Second time, on a Saturday night I was forced to wear a bandaid over my neck tattoo (an acronym) to get in. Asked the guy what the reason was. It s policy was all he said. He wasn t necessarily rude but wasn t being any sort of helpful with a thorough explanation. Don t think it won t keep me from going, but definitely deserves a one star for such an outlandish rule and lack of clarity. Can only imagine what they d tell someone with a fully tatted neck

This was quite literally the worst bar I have ever been to. First of all they have extremely invasive security where male workers were giving a pat down to only certain people in line. Very uncomfortable, then the security proceeded to throw away several items out of our bags including labeled advil. When we finally made it in we were continually harassed by staff for simple things including waiting in line for the bar. Extremely overcrowded with bad music- not worth your time.

Lol and surprisingly such strict rules for a club with no dress code and serves drinks from a plastic cup LOL.

I agree with what the other reviewer posted on here. Security guy (who s obviously a failed cop) acts like Gestapo, throwing away, legal vapes and coming up with arbitrary reasons as to why you are not allowed in. Once inside, you re not allowed to stand anywhere near the bar, even if it s practically empty. Drinks aren t that expensive however, you re required to buy a certain amount if you re using a debit or credit card. The music inside is typically top 40s, so nothing spectacular. My experience here is almost a polar opposite, compared to bars in Houston, which are far more inclusive, and relaxed on rules and policies. The venue is actually nice, it s just the owners/management that has to go.

If you are a young woman and wish to be drugged unwillingly and end up at the ER after the bouncer throws you out the back door alone with no water or help , this is the place for you. Classy joint.

Never in my life have I felt more discriminated against. I moved to San Antonio a few months ago and have loved going to Brass monkey. I had a friend come visit and I told her we had to go check it out. After paying for an Uber, we arrived and went through security. I was stopped by security because I have one small tattoo of a sailboat behind my ear, no other visible tattoos. I was told I was not allowed in the bar, by an employee covered in full neck tattoos. I ve always had fun at this bar, but I promise I will NEVER return after the most ridiculous policy I have ever heard. Do not go to this bar if you are any type of alternative (not that I would even consider myself that) and looking to be accepted. They are living in the same backwards policies as much of Texas. Very disappointed.

The management here is run like the gestapo . I had to give the bartender my id to keep an opened tab, even with a credit card. I decided to pay with cash because of the inconvenience. I was asked to step away from the bar while taking shots even tho it was dead at 9:30 on a Saturday . There is constant surveillance and body guards everywhere. I m not sure if this place is safe. Place is cheap but it s not worth the hassle. They made my friend throw away her LEGAL vape.also they will not give you tap water they will force you to buy a bottle

HORRIBLE! They treated my friend horribly, They denied her entry because she had a Puerto Rican ID! The bouncer showed little to no respect to my group and shoved us out of the way. I was appalled by the treatment and the act of blatant discrimination. There were 2 other bouncers and they didn t even try to help her by looking at her ID! This is the third time that something like this has happened to someone I know here!

I really enjoy this bar but the music needs to be better. Its always the same songs every weekend, it needs to be mixed up. Also maybe we should get some new LGBTQ+ DJs to spice up the dance floor on Thursgayz.

I normally go to brass monkey to have a good time but last night I had an incident that will greatly affect if I go back. My friends and I bought drinks at the same time (two beers two shots). I was charged $20 and he made her open a tab, and kept her card and ID which is weird that they do that to begin with but it was because she had charges less than $10 so they have to keep your card if your charge is that low. When she closed at the end of the night she was charged for $50 worth of drinks and most of them were incorrect. I understand that it s crazy so I go to the bartender to correct it. First off he was really rude and told me I had an attitude when I asked for him to refund me or her for the drinks we paid for because it s clear he double charged us. He refused to do that. Management got involved and led me to believe they were resolving the issue when they were standing in a corner discussing what to do next. No one asked me questions. The lady manager said she was checking cameras and the guy later confirmed that wasn t happening. and I got told that they ll count drawers in the morning and that I m not getting helped for it now because they have a business to run I m sorry but as someone who works in service it was really terrible how myself and my friends were treated. If someone does something incorrect you fix that. Simple as that. Hope others are not treated this was.

Went there a few times, it was okay. Last time I went with my nursing school friends, and the bartender asked for my ID and debit card and then they both magically disappeared. Went the next day, and they still couldnt find them. This happened right before I had an international trip. Guess that was a sign to avoid this place.

50/50 of me being able to get in sometimes they have a tattoo policy and sometimes they don t. I have lots of tattoos (mostly horror movie based) NOT a single gang related tattoo or prison tattoo (don t even have a speeding ticket to my name) but even still sometimes they won t let me in because of my neck tattoo and sometimes they will. I always dress in jeans and a horror tee or music tee. It s disappointing because I like Brass but they re the only bar on the strip that has a problem with my tattoos I thought we were passed all the judging a book by its cover..

You will likely run into someone you dont want to run into here, but youre also likely to meet someone that you wished youd meet again. Ive been coming here since 2012 and Friday nights never disappoint; back then I thought the crowd was a bit older as they played lots of 80s music and freestyle but now that I have matured over the decade, they play 2000s and 2010s music and I have realized that I am now one of those old people; I embrace this full circle moment however. Enough of the philosophy though, the bar is decent and prices are right. The packed dance floor is always lots of fun!

Siiiick bar/club. The place isn t too big to be overwhelming & also not too small or crowded to make you uncomfortable. Depending on the night you go, it will definitely be a different vibe. There s a full bar/bar staff so there s never a long wait for drinks. It also recently got a remodel (cleanup) which makes it more appealing inside/outside Some music can be obscure or mixes may be off sometimes but not too bad. Beware of creepy locals or strange randos that try to dance with you/get your info. Like any spot around here, parking is a biggie if you re driving. Overall, a nice place if you want a regular spot to frequent
