  The Brass is a great place to come with a big group of friends and share some beer.  They have a selection of bar games (Buck Hunter, foosball).  The location of the bar is quite inconvenient as you must stand directly in the way of those trying to enter the building.   I sampled some of their maple bacon wings and was very put off by the flavour however some of the other flavours I have tried have been quite good.
  
  I give it a generous rating because I have always enjoyed the service and company I'm with when I visit.

  We stopped for dinner and were directed to find our own table.  The restaurant had only one really large table of guests that has already finished dinner.
  We waited for the waitress or waiter but three of them stood behind the counter talking to each other and ignoring us.  Multiple attempts to get their attention were ignored with them actually looking away and continuing to talk.  After waiting 5-10 min with no interaction, we left.  As we walked out, one of the waitress was finally gathering a menu to come our way.  
  I really hope they treat other customers with more respect.

  I should probably try this out a few more times before reviewing, but I don't know when I'll be back in Kingston, so here's a placeholder. It's located at the top of Princess Street and just about the last boozer before you hit the residential district. Large and airy, it's pretty much a classic English style Canadian pub. Wide and good beer selection, a variety of seating, big telly for the sports, plenty of attractive and attentive staff and a big pub food menu. We were just out for a midday walk around town when it started raining, so we took shelter here and had an excellent hour drinking good beer and chatting with our delightful waitress. Apparently this a great spot for Military College types and students from Queen's to get to know each other, but even four decades too late for that meta, I would make this my local at the top end of town.

  Terrible establishment. Waitress overcharged the table and told us her debit/credit machine was down and we all had to pay an extra $3 to take out cash. While it's a minor inconvenience, it makes a difference when your drink was $4. Also, atmosphere was dirty and dingy, bathrooms were unsanitary even by student standards. Would not recommend!!

  Half price nacho platter Monday is always a good idea. Times I've gone in the evening, the service was tight and nachos were decent. This time I went Monday afternoon to satiate a lust for heaps of cheese but my experience wasn't A1 as it typically is. I think we were the only table in the restaurant but it took ages to get the waitress' attention. Do I smell? Am I ugly? Does she sense my self-loathing that made her avert her attentions from me? Anyway, we got nacho platters with additional pulled pork, and man it was so subpar. Nachos are something you really can't mess up and people order them at restaurants cause they're too damn lazy to throw it together at home. The chips were overcooked/burnt, the clods of pulled pork weren't saucin like post Malone would sauce them, and all in all just meh. Will probably come back during the evening hours when it seems like the staff gives more of a shit about you and a cheeky pint is more socially acceptable than at 12pm
