This interior of this bar, and its predecessor, have not drastically changed in over 30 years. What has changed? While the old bar focused on import beers in bottles and cans and left domestic macrobrews on tap, the new place has focused on offering a huge variety of good import and microbrews on tap! The menu selection has changed too: gone are the Pachyderm and some of the standard bar fare. Bricks has a very good BBQ brisket sandwich and other specialties to go along with a modest bar fare type of menu. The cooks also seem dedicated to sticking around longer, and during times when the old bar did not serve food. Finally, the staff has changed: In the final years of the old bar, the staff was renown for their spotty quality and lack of dedication. Now, the core group of servers is once again quite knowledgeable about the beers they serve, and strive to have staff on hand to meet the needs of the customers. I have been impressed by the old place. Too bad the city built a crappy parking lot next to it so that it can't expand.
