The best way to describe Brennan's Bowery Bar & Restaurant is 'Fun'. The place is always crowded with people either enjoying a meal of chicken wings and fries or just hanging at the bar.

The service most of the times is slow due to the large number of crowd which is compensated by the friendliness of the staff.
