AN AMERICAN BEER HALL
The Brakeman is an American beer and rec hall by NoHo Hospitality Group featuring rotating drafts of craft beers and serving up buckets of fried chicken, honey-butter biscuits, and local farmstand sides from its adjoining neighbor, Penny Red’s. The cocktail bar offers classic craft spirits and seasonal frozen drinks.
Our downtown hangout is stocked with big screen TVs, foosball, table shuffleboard, and beer pong, with garage doors that open into Parker’s Alley and Farmer Street in the warmer months.

SCREAM QUEENS
Get ready to scream! The Brakeman is about to be possessed by the fiercest ghouls in town-the Divas of Detroit. On Saturday, October 26, witness a spooktacular drag extravaganza that will raise your spirits (and maybe the dead). Once the Divas have finished their devilish acts, they'll turn their critical eyes to you for a costume contest that'll separate the tricks from the treats. Prizes include a one-night stay at Shinola Hotel for the supreme scream queen, and San Morello gift cards for second and third place.
Doors creak open at 3:30 PM and the performance runs from 4 - 6pm.
Tickets: Your soul (or $15, whichever is easier). Get them here!
