Editorial Review for The Brig – by Dianne Molina
In Short
After a major makeover, the Brig has been transformed into a gorgeously modern, casually elegant lounge. The pool table still commands center stage in this spacious one-room bar, but the soft lighting, art deco decor and pulsating electronica soundtrack are all new additions. Even the restrooms have been revamped and now feature oddly chic chandeliers and recessed mirrors. But despite the swanky setting, the vibe remains laid-back, making it the perfect spot for a weeknight cocktail with friends.

The Brig lives up to its name in that when a group of us came here for drinks, it was cold and drafty. We almost didn't want to order drinks because we were all freezing. The drinks were decent and not too pricey, but even when it's packed, I just don't like the metal+concrete vibe of the place. When I worked down the street, it was more convinient just to stop by briefly, but I wouldn't make it a regular destination these days.
Pros: parking lot
Cons: cold atmosphere
