The Brackney is great. You feel like you're going well below the Mason Dixon line when you go here however it never comes off feeling overly redneckish or conservative. The ceilings are only about 7 feet high, which feels a bit strange, but the actual bar layout is really cool with a large C shaped bar right in the middle and pool on one side and seating on the other. A lot of people tend to only go here after last call in NY, because it's open until 2am instead of 1am.. so heading out from Binghamton you'll get about an extra 40 minutes of drinking. However, it's worth stopping in and trying the food whenever. The burgers are good and the city chicken isn't bad.

The smoke filled haze that hits you as you enter the Brackney lets you know you are no longer within city limits. You will see the same people sitting in the same bar stools on any given night. The burgers and wings are good and the waitresses are attentive. The real stand out is the Thursday night Prime Rib special. For a mere $12.99 you get soup or salad, a very generous hunk of well seasoned beef, vegetable, and potato. This can all be washed down with a delicious Ithaca Flower Power(one of a few bottled craft beers).

i got food a few more times after my initial visit, and while the burgers and chicken sandwiches are great, i've found a few faults. the wings are pretty good, but could stand to be a little crispier. and the fries seem to be inconsistent, i never know what style of fry they will have in stock. and i finally got around to trying their pizza. awful. one of the worst i've ever had. dough wasn't stretched out evenly, the crust was huge but the body was so thin that it just flopped down when you tried to pick it up. this was a problem because they put a ton of cheese on it. that doesn't sound like a bad thing, but this cheese was pretty hard to chew and the pizza was really greasy. i was not a fan of the sauce either, overly spiced with chunks of tomato. i'll still come here to drink and to eat, but i'm just gunna steer clear of the pizza. another thing to mention, they have the worst vending machine ever! 99% of the time it won't take your dollar, so you have to make change and even then some of the quarters you put in don't get counted, and then it's a gamble if the item you pick is even going to come out of the machine!

Affectionately (if not sarcastically) known by Quaker Lakers as "The Brackney Hilton," This place is always a classic. You could wear sweatpants or your prom dress (you might be a bit overdressed, but no one will care). No rules, cheap lager, darts, pool, shufflepuck... and to top it all off, the rather comforting feeling that this place has always been there and will always be there in the future. I LOVE YOU, BRACKNEY HILTON!!!!

The fact that no exact street address comes up when one googles "The Brackney Inn" is very telling of the place. It's a dive bar in the middle of nowhere. A country dive bar. Which is to say, very different than an urban dive bar. Whether it was the $1 cans of Bud. The collection of wife-beater wearing Pennsylvania good'ol boys at the bar. Or the history of the place being a brothel for Philadelphia businessmen. It was a total culture shock. But I loved it. The place has character. It has history. It's a local joint, so expect to get your fare share of suspicious glances. But a taste of something very different from any other dive bar. They also have food there. Didn't try it, so I can't say anything about it. Also, for a much better review of the brackney experience, definitely check out this review. It's a good one. clevercitizen.com/Bingo3…
