About this place The Brass Rail Lounge
The Brass Rail Lounge is a long-standing gay bar on Hennepin Avenue in downtown Minneapolis, close to the theatre district. It is a neighbourhood-style bar rather than a big club, with karaoke, DJ nights and a dance floor, and it draws a mixed, mostly local crowd.
Google reviewers give it 3.8 from about 60 reviews, so expect a mix of opinions on service and upkeep. Programming changes by night, so check its social pages before you go. The Saloon is a short walk away on the same stretch of Hennepin if you want to keep going.

Venue was cool looking, ended up going there for Gothess event. Drinks in my opinion, watered down and overpriced. Either pre-game or stick to buying shots for $4 a piece. Not worth $8 for a tiny watered down cocktail.
