In the crystal of the title molecular salt (systematic name: 2-acetylpyridinium 2,5-dibromo-4-hydroxy-3,6-dioxocyclohexa-1,4-dienolate), C7H8NO+·C6HBr2O4−, centrosymmetric rings consisting of two cations and two anions are formed, with the components linked by alternating O—H...O and N—H...O hydrogen bonds. Short O...Br contacts [3.243 (2) and 3.359 (2) Å] may help to consolidate the packing.
