Review methodology and evidence standardsThe editorial take
The Brick, a Crossroads Arts District staple since 1999, runs a straightforward beverage program. The menu shows a cocktail list and a few spirit-based classics, plus a beer selection that includes a Boulevard wheat Beermosa. Non-alcoholic drinks are clearly priced. It's a competent, no-frills bar for casual drinking.
- What should I order?
- Try the Pink Pony Club, praised for balance. For a beer-based twist, the Beermosa with Boulevard wheat and orange juice. The Irish Coffee (Jameson, City Market coffee, sugar, whipped cream) and Bloody Mary with pepper-infused vodka are solid spirit-driven picks.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Drinkers who appreciate straightforward, well-made classics and local beer options. The accessible non-alcoholic menu also suits designated drivers or those skipping alcohol. Casual Crossroads visitors looking for a reliable bar without pretension will feel at home.
- When should I go?
- Evenings in the Crossroads Arts District, especially before or after exploring galleries. The bar's friendly, energetic service (per guest reviews) suits a relaxed after-work or weekend stop.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Pepsi products, iced tea, and lemonade run $2.25; ginger beer or Abita root beer $3.75; coffee and hot tea $3.00. Cocktail and beer prices aren't listed, but the non-alcoholic range suggests moderate pricing.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- Longevity in the Crossroads since 1999, a Beermosa made with Boulevard wheat, and a pepper-infused vodka Bloody Mary. The bar's local beer focus and a well-regarded Pink Pony Club cocktail give it neighborhood character.

How it sits with the food
Beer-battered items on the menu suggest the Beermosa or a local beer would complement fried foods. The Bloody Mary's pepper-infused vodka could pair with savory brunch dishes. Non-alcoholic ginger beer offers a spicy counterpoint to rich food.
