BRC: Big Red What?

Mussels w/ bay leaf, chablis, garlic, celery & butter
Tempura Fried Green Beans
Market Fish of the Day, flounder on a bed of tomatoes and spinach in a white wine butter sauce
Cake Balls from their other establishment,Petit Sweets

Gastropubs (or as I call it food, fun, & beer) have been sprouting up all over town. BRC is one of them that I've passed countless of times, caught the giant red cock (the avian kind) statue from the corner of my eye, and thought to myself, "I really need to put this place on my "To Try" list." So when some friends wanted to meet up there, I was happy to oblige. The marriage of a well-rounded beer selection and good food makes for a great hangout spot IMHO. Although I'm not much of a beer drinker, I love the artful process that goes into making a good brew which is enough to reel me in.

The deep red damask wallpaper and black-and-white photos create an inviting and cozy atmosphere. I also have to give kudos to the staff who went above and beyond to accommodate all of our issues. The fish was cooked perfectly, and I'm sure to stick to the seafood selection the next time I return. The casual atmosphere is great for just drinking with some buddies, but there are also plenty of tasty bites to satisfy those food cravings.

  5. Oh yumm.. I'm not sure if there's any place like that in my home town. Would love to try, I know my boyfriend would definitely love the place since he likes to try out different kinds of beers every once in a while - and we both love good food! :) Haha we might have to make a visit to your home town, wherever that is ^^

    Nice for you to stop by at my little blog, do make a revisit anytime again if you like, and maybe even follow each other :) It's so nice to get to know new people around the World.
