What is a Brasserie?

Question

I thought it was a pub.. or is it just a posh name for a pub?

Answer 1

it's usually a wine bar and a restaurant.

Answer 2

the first answer was spot on.

In France you would find a brewery on site.

Other use the term to sound posh.

Answer 3

In France, a brasserie is a café doubling as a restaurant with a relaxed setting, which serves single dishes and other meals. It can be expected to have professional service and printed menus (unlike a bistro which may have neither), but more informal eating hours than a full-fledged restaurant. Typically, a brasserie is open every day of the week and the same menu is served all day.

Answer 4

Places where beer was brewed - imagined to sell it directly to consumers and then propose some very basic dishes in a relatively non-stylish way of serving customers -

Brasseries are still today supposed to work this way and it is one of the most striking aspects : the unformalness, one could say rudeness of the staff - which you can appreciate or not - I personally, even if french, don't like brasseries -  

Answer 5

A brasserie is indeed the French name for a brewey.  But it is also a French name for a cafe, resto or more formal restaurant, or a bar, that

has a good to excellent selection of featured beers, including many on draught, which it emphasizes.

Answer 6

It's actually a brewery (in French).

Answer 7
