Brass Door is the kind of pub that doesn’t try to be anything other than what it is: a solid, no-nonsense spot for cheap eats, cold pints, and a reliably good time. In a city overflowing with bars, plenty miss the mark on at least one front—bad service, overpriced drinks, weak atmosphere—but this place consistently delivers across the board. It’s a neighbourhood joint in the middle of downtown, a rare balance that keeps the crowd a mix of regulars and passersby looking for an easygoing place to post up. Whether you’re there for a quick bite, a few rounds with friends, or just somewhere to park yourself for a while, Brass Door holds its own as a dependable go-to.
