In Monopoly, the most famous of board games, there is curiously not a space for “Broadway,” one of the most common city-street names in America. But in Seaside, Broadway could be Boardwalk, the most valuable space, and Other Brother Beer Co. is its anchor. Long anticipated when it opened in fall 2019, Other Brother has become everything the community had hoped it would be. It’s a great place to meet people with its many tables and informal seating, and has a pup-friendly parklet on Broadway, where one can also catch some sunshine. It’s got great beer, killer food, free internet and, out back, live music on occasion. And in case you hadn’t heard, Other Brother is the bar for games. Aside from the two pinball machines upstairs, there are all types of board and parlor games on offer to borrow, and there’s trivia on Tuesday nights and bingo on Wednesday nights, both with the opportunity to win prizes you actually want – like an Other Brother gift card.
