Although I did not come for the food, the drink selection has a very wide variety from beer to cocktails and beyond. The bloody marys were delicious and nicely seasoned to my liking! Had that during Euchre Tuesday night and it never disappoints! The service from the bartenders are beyond friendly and helpful with the drink selections! They were attentive with the selection of beer and wine. The ambiance is very quiet on some nights unless there's Euchre Tuesday nights or any other event such as live music. The ambiance is perfect and buzzing in December for the seasonal Tom and Jerry cocktails for the holidays. It's an excellent bar with history dating from its opening in 1937 onwards to today!

Wow, this place is definitely a gem! Such a cool place to get to experience. When I visited on a Wednesday afternoon in December, I was amazed to walk in around 3pm and found a completely packed bar with only one table available. We snagged it and was dumbfounded by not only how many people were there but by the high energy and smiles. I was educated by my in-laws that the Brass Rail Bar is loved by many because of it's history and after being closed for a while after a death (I think) and covid, when it reopened, is packed full all days of the week. We went in specifically to try their Tom & Jerry cocktail which is evidently a Port Huron staple during the Christmas season. I can't remember the ingredients but they were delicious!!! I love that The Brass Rail is a family ran business and it is obvious how much love and passion goes into this business. I'll continue to visit this bar many years into the future, amazing place!

Lets start by CASH ONLY! Definitely more of a dive bar, But a super cute dive bar with all of their Christmas decorations! No food except chips and some popcorn! But they are known for their Tom and Jerry's so of course we had to go try.. He got the oatmeal cream cookie and I got fireball and Bailey's which were both delicious! I would recommend to go to at least try a Tom and Jerry!!

A little dusty and a little divey, this place seems relatively unchanged for decades. From the awesome neon sign out front, to the xmas decorations inside, this place was a pure Michigan experience for us when visiting for the holidays. We went twice over the week we were in Michigan with family. The Tom & Jerrys warmed me up enough to make the two block walk in -10* weather to our car.

Josh W. got it right when he says "this place is an instituation" well almost right...its The PoHo Institution. If you only go to one place in Port Huron this should be it. If you have to go to two places, stop here first. Old Fashioned Tom & Jerry or a Stroh's Draft please. (EDIT) No more Strohs :( Blue, Miller Light or that one Anheuser beer... They do have Guiness in bottles which is nice. Shots are usually a healthy pour. Don't embarrass yourself looking for a micro brew. Great for watching Detroit sports or curmudgeons of all ages.

Get a booth and watch the festivities. Great people watching, awesome decorations during the holidays, and classic. Other reviewers are right it is a bit smokey, buy hey go there enough and you can get your own stool at the bar. Watch out for the end ones they have owners!
