Great Great N/A Good Good
Good place to watch a game, play pool, play darts, get out of the house for a chill. Pretty decent beer selection. A tad too smoky and what the heck was I thinking with the cig prices?...Ehh- it was still good to come "home".

I met up with some old friends at this place and WOW was I surprised - it has really become a cool place to go!

They have expanded their bar and added more pool tables, and a foosball table. There is also more room for seating and conversation.

The bartenders are totally friendly and know their beer selection very well.

Awesome! Awesome! So So Great Great
If you ask me, there is no better place in the southwest suburbs than Brixie's.

I should know. I drink a lot of beer. I mean a lot. Like more than any healthy man should drink.

When I say their beer is good, I mean it. And I should know. I weigh 250 lbs. My waist is size 46. And I'm ALL about the enjoyment of beer.

Whether you drink Domestics or Imports, Microbrews or the Mass Produced...Brixie's has a beer for you.

Beer...God's gift to the Fatman.

Brixies has a cool, mellow vibe to it. Kind of a combination of Irish pub, neighborhood hole-in-the-wall, and sports bar.

Great variety of tunes on the jukebox.

Lots of pool tables and other games.

Fun place!

Brixie's is the best combination of neighborhood bar and sports bar all in one! Friendly atmosphere, lots of space, great jukebox. They have a great beer selection, and they feature specials on imports and microbrews each week. Entertainment includes pool, foosball, darts, trivia, and multiple screens for sporting events. Food is tasty, and the service is great!

Check them out!

The first place I go when visiting the Chicagoland area. Bring a sense of humor and tip your bartender.

Lousy So So N/A Lousy So So
a nice bar type atmosphere with pool and darts.....they had 15 or so beers on tap but they were really bad...tasted kind of soapy or like a smelly refridgerator....and when i tried to point this out to the bartender...he was extraordinarily rude!! (he did finally give me a bottled beer for compensation)....i would not recommend this place...go to Palmers Place right down the street.
