Brew Brothers scores a touchdown
by Johnson, Outpost contributor
Good food, the best of friends and, of course, Sunday afternoon football - what more could you ask for? This is exactly what you can expect at the Brew Brothers restaurant, located in the Eldorado Hotel and Casino. Even if you despise football, the food on its own is good enough to bring you back.
The Brew Brothers, although located in the pandemonium a downtown casino, feels like another world. Inside this haven are several television sets mounted along the walls, making it possible to catch a glimpse of the what's on from any seat in the house.

The atmosphere proves especially inviting on Sunday afternoons when football rules the television. This makes it a popular gathering place for football nuts.
My friend and I were quickly seated in front of the Miami Dolphins game by a smiling hostess.
Scanning the menu, I quickly decided that what my stomach so hungered for was a pizza - Hawaiian-style. The price next to the personal pizza caught my eye though and, for a moment, I hesitated. For a personal pizza, $6.25 seemed like an a lot. I was hungry and impatient though, and I wanted pizza. So I placed my order with the waiter and began watching the Dolphins rout the Patriots.
Finally, after about a 15-minute wait, my friend's food arrived, followed by mine. Unfortunately, it wasn't what I ordered. I was starving, and this made me angry. But the waiter was humble enough, offering to get another one right out of the oven for me.
The second pizza arrived just as I had ordered it, albeit smaller than the first, and I began to dig in. After finishing his meal, my friend ordered a basket of chips and salsa. He was surprised when the waiter said they would be on the house because of the late pizza. This more than made up for the late service.
Chatting with the other football fans, I soon found myself with a single slice of pizza left. For a pizza I thought was small, it filled me up. For $6.25, that's a bargain.
My share of the bill came to $8 including the tip, which the waiter earned. I left the restaurant with a full stomach and the joy of watching my favorite football team demolish their arch rivals.
Although the price may seem a bit steep, Brew Brothers strives to send you home full and ready to come again.
