Brix @ 1601

Situated in a shiny new shopping complex just north of Pier Avenue, the sprawling 10,000-sq.-ft. New American/wine bar Brix @ 1601 – boasting brick archways, warm bronze lighting, deep leather booths, stone fireplaces and a vaulted ceiling – feels like it’s been there forever; its midpriced, casually creative menu (e.g. duck confit spring rolls) plays off an extensive list of vintages, including esoteric glasses from spots such as Slovenia.
