Under new management and it shows! The new owner has really turned what used to be my favorite late night dive into a friendly, "Cheers" -esque establishment. Came by recently and it turns out I was just in time for the soft open of the brand new kitchen. Extremely clean and the chef knows his way around a burger! The only thing this place ever lacked was food and now that problem has been solved. A nice variety of "bar food" but also home cooked fresh of the flattop smashburgers are what sets Bracht's apart from the competition. The staple of this place has always been the frozen pizzas and they are still available but why would you order that when you could have fresh fries, mozzarella sticks, jalapeno poppers, chicken tenders or even better the wings with a large variety of flavors! My old stomping grounds have really upgraded and from what I hear, there's no end in sight. Just wish some of the old familiars were still around to enjoy the new renovations.

One star because it's close to my house lol. I only came here once to meet someone for a drink. The bartender old lady is super grumpy and clearly hates her job especially during the late hours. This place has been around for a long time, but we don't need any dive bars in Bartlett and this one is below dive. It's the only one open super late though whenever everyone else is closed. But at that point everyone should be going home anyways!
I used to come here all the time but ever since Ross has been here. He cares more about the girls and then the people. He was giving some girl kisses and drinks at the slot machines, check the cameras. I went to the bar to get a drink, he said I have woman to service then you. Then he told me the girls at the bar were too important that can wait because I don't tip. Please I always tip over $10 even if my tab is only $6. You just care about the money you're a shady person. If this guy is here you won't get my business. You're welcome Ross. You only care about the women. You care less about the long-term customers. Love you Ross you're the best bartender ever you wish.
Great people, great atmosphere. Had fun playing darts.
I have to update my review. Bracht's is not just a bar. It's not just a place to quench one's thirst. Bracht's is a state of mind. Bracht's is a movement. Bracht's is whatever you need it to be.
Bracht's sustains me.
Second review for 2023.
Bracht's has evolved. Mehul is up in here running darts tournaments two or three times a week. Get here on a Tuesday night or a Friday night and you'll have the best time of your life ❤️
