Brothers Bar & Grill

Probably my second favorite bar at Purdue. It’s interesting because it has multiple floors and I felt like we just kept going up and up.

A decent bar with very little to remember

This bar has the best drink specials on campus. Lots of TVs, so almost every sports game is on during the week. The bar is very narrow, but it has three floors, so plenty of space. Go during the week for ridiculous drink specials, sometimes less than $ 1.

Top bar on campus! The atmosphere is perfect. You have the crowd but you can still maintain a personal bubble. You can’t beat the drink specials.

Not my favorite bar at Purdue. The drink prices weren’t that great unless you go for the specials during the week. It’s mostly frequented with douchey frat boys. On the weekends it’s packed and it takes forever to get served. I also found the bartenders to be major-​league assholes. It just wasn’t a chill spot to go and relax while you had a couple beers. There aren’t many seats so be prepared to stand all night. Like I said, it’s crowded so don’t plan on moving around too much. You have to find your 1’x1’ square and just stand there while you talk to friends. In all, the drinks were over-​priced and the experience rather dull. I would recommend trying the other bars first and only going here as a last resort.

This place is just average for me. Sometimes they have decent drink specials; mostly for cheap girly shots. It’s become the spot for frat boys and sorority chicks to frequent since the yacht club closed down a few years ago. They have 10 cent wing night (or used to when I was a student there), and while the wings are freaking tiny it’s fun to order a bunch and pig out with dollar high life bottles. It gets really packed in here from about 11pm and on. Really small dance floor in the corner on the first floor, and there is a decent sized 2^nd floor. I’ve had some good nights here, but this wouldn’t be my first spot to choose when going out at Purdue.

If you are looking for great drink specials and a familiar face, Brothers is the place.
Brothers is mostly likely known as a place for all Greeks to hang out. Every day of the week is known for a different special– which is very nice for us money conscious college students.
A few downfalls to Brothers is the time it takes to get a drink. If you aren’t there before 10 pm expect a wait time of 20+ minutes to be served. And if its on a Wednesday get there even sooner.
Overall, I enjoy my time at Brothers besides the wait time for a drink. The music is always on point and I know I can always see someone I know!

The bouncers don’t like black people and they’re vocal about it. Other then that, it’s not a bad place. Pretty good crowd and cheap drinks.

I really enjoy this bar, because it has a consistent stream of college kids, not townies that visit it. The specials are good, and so is the music and atmosphere at large. It also has super specials, like $ 2 pint night on Tuesdays, and Mason Jar Monday’s. You can also always expect $ 1 o-​bomb shots which are pretty fun. Wednesday’s are my favorite day to go because of BFD’s (Big F***** Drinks) that are $ 4 and come in awesome flavors.
Pros:
— College Crowd
— Great specials
— Kind wait staff
Cons:
— Can get really crowded on weekends
— Drinks aren’t as strong as at the other bars unless you tip VERY well

Not a bad place to go… I went on a Wednesday night and wasn’t expecting to find a lot of people but I was very wrong since the place was very busy. Bar tender was very quick even though he wasn’t very friendly but at least I had no problem getting my drinks quick… The music is alright and they have huge TV’s in the bar so you can watch a game while enjoying 1.50 for rum an coke; of course not captain morgan or Bacardi but it wasn’t that bad for the price. In my opinion one of the nicest bars around town and a very good place to come to have some drinks and hang out with friends or make new ones…

This is the best bar on campus! The drink specials are always great and cheap, the atmosphere perfect, and the 15 cent wings can’t be beat (wednesdays)!!! The staff is usually friendly, and you don’t have to wait too long to order a drink. Best place to drink near campus!

Normal campus bar. They have good specials on weeknights. Crowded, but not any worse than the other bars.

Nice Campus bar can get busy but Wednesday is the best day to go and main reason i go. They have 15 cent wing and 1.25 high lifes and 4 dollar huge mixed drinks. the wings are small but they are cheap enough that you can get alot.

I appreciate the general manager (?) reaching out to me so quickly on Unilocal and his apology — unfortunately I’ve already left Indiana, but because of his quick customer service I’d be willing to give Brothers another shot :). So we shall see

Brothers is another campus bar with its small perks above the others. They have $ 2 pint nights on Tuesdays where you can order a pint of good beer and enjoy sipping on it. They have some micro brews as well as domestics. More recently they have implemented a Monday night special where you can buy Rolling Rock for very cheap, most likely trying to compete with Where Else’s quarter beer night. Wednesday used to be very exciting for a group of friends and me because it is wing night. The wings used to be ten cents and you could get up to 30 of them, along with $ 1 Miller Highlifes all night. Those prices have gone up since the last time I went. They are still cheap, but for people who once experience the fruits of Wednesday nights at Brothers tend to be slightly bitter towards the change. Brothers has a nice atmosphere as far as campus bars ago. It has three stories to it, which is rare around the West Lafayette area. I’ve listed the three best nights of the week. You choose!

i like brothers only because it has two stories spaces. the bartender skills are just like others.

It’s a small cramped space, but I think the drinks are the best on campus. Wing night is a joke though. It doesn’t start til 9pm, and they’re very finicky about how many you order and what you pay with.

The set up of this brother’s is way different then the one that is in
Iowa City, I like the lay out of this one a little more, although there is no room to move around in here, upstairs is the place to be. There is a small town feel to this brothers.

One reason and one reason only this bar gets my props — Wednesday nights. They have 10 cent wings that are amazing, and dollar high life bottles. (they also have a goof fishbowl deal too)… weekdays in general at brothers are great, its easy to get a table and there are TVs all over for watching sports.
On the weekend it is a different story. This is a very narrow (but long) bar… so it can be very hard to move around the place… but once you find an open spot usually towards the back or upstairs its a pretty fun time. It can take a bit to get drinks because of this too…
I have never had a credit card issue like stated in the other review… and I go here all the time, but I do know a couple friends that did (this was over a year and a half ago) before they changed their credit card policy.

Tonight I decided that I hate this place more than I hate Stacks. And if I hate you more than I hate Stacks, that’s REALLY bad as far as I’m concerned. The only people that come here are jocks, frat boys, and the girls that want to fuck them. The drinks are weak. Every weekend the place gets so packed that it take a half hour just to get around. The only night that I might even consider entertaining the thought of coming here is Wednesday when they have fishbowl night. Oh, and I don’t recommend keeping a tab here. Pay with cash or immediately close out after paying with your card. One time I had a tab of $ 15 but they took $ 50 out of my bank account. They say they do it to «make sure the account is valid» but I think that’s total bullshit. And yes, they do eventually correct it, but as far as I’m concerned, they should get it right the first time.
