(Downtown, Sioux City, IA)
Scooter’s 1022nd bar, first visited in 2014.
My visit to The Old Brass Rail reminded me a lot of my favorite downtown dive bar back home. Small, intimate, a cast of regulars who know each other, and even a library of books to read and share. I sat among about half a dozen people 10 years older than me watching “Rocky II”.
As dives go, this place is quite a bit cleaner than most. Almost too clean to fit the category! (Though I didn’t need to use the restroom, so I could be wrong!)
I noticed a small room in the back that had a pool table and assumed that was the extent of the bar. But after finding them on Facebook, I have learned from the photos that had I gone back there I would have found that it continued to the next storefront, where bands sometimes set up to play.
Several online reviews let me to believe this place would be terrifying, but I knew that was most likely not the case at all. Indeed, it was definitely not the least bit scary. A nice place for cheap drinks.
