The editorial take
The Brass Door positions itself as a reliable stop for Irish standards and local craft. The Irish Coffee is billed as the best in and Guinness flows on tap. Cocktails stick to familiar templates, some with a Jameson base. Prices stay friendly, and happy hour trims a dollar off drinks midweek. Beer drinkers get imports and locals. A competent, straightforward pour list without much adventurousness.
