Editorial Review for The Brown Bar – by Citysearch Editors
In Short
This street-level lounge in the refurbished downtown Brown Building condo complex draws politicos, lobbyists and successful, single, 30-something professionals. The Turkish marble bar top, lit from underneath, is the fixture of the darkly lit room. The bar also serves as a waiting room adjunct for the adjoining Gumbo's restaurant. The creative, yet pricey, full bar offers everything from single malt scotch to specialty martinis like a Key Lime Pie with Absolut Vanilia, lime and pineapple juice.

Insider Tips
ParkingSince you're already splurging on expensive drinks, you might as well cough up more dough for the valet--parking is a total headache.
What to DrinkThe sumptuous Brown Bar martini is made with Godiva chocolate and the Wedding Cake martini, with Stoli Vanil and grenadine, tastes just like cake.
Look GoodThis is not a shorts and T-shirt kind of place. If a high suit-quotient happy hour isn't your thing, avoid this bar.
User Reviews for The Brown Bar

I like The Brown Bar. I like the laid-back lounge feel. Some of my girlfriends and I went there for Happy Hour after work just before the holidays and it was great. Cool low key vibe, good music but we could still hear each other. The "bar" food was fabulous--best bar food I've had in a long time. The place is very upscale but not snooty. The martini's are YUM! worth every penny. The staff is attentive and professional. Great place, cool vibe!
Pros: Great vibe, good service, great food & Drinks
Cons: I wanted to plan a Happy Hour on Monday but they are closed on Mondays.
