Personal Review :
Within a couple months of their opening, we gave the Red Brick Station
Restaurant & Brew Pub a try. Upon entry, we were somewhat overwhelmed with
the smoke from the Pub-side. The building is arranged in an `L' shape with
Pub (and bar counter) on one side, and the non-smoking area on the other.
Once in the non-smoking area it wasn't bad. The atmosphere was nice. They
have a reasonably good selection of brews and menu selections (moderately
priced). The Cajun style burger I ordered was ok, but a bit mild if you want
to really savor the typical good quality Cajun spices. Service was VERY slow,
and our waiter seemed to spend more time in the kitchen than in the
restaurant (perhaps he knew we were going to try and grab him to find out what
was happening with our meal!). All-in-all, while the meal wasn't bad, the
experience wasn't an outstandingly memorable one. Hence, we haven't returned.

A Friday beer-burger-and-movie night takes on a new meaning when your two stops are Red Brick Station and the new stadium-seating Loews theater just down the street. Simpler is better here at this big, Victorianish brew pub, but you'll do just fine with that burger, fixed any of five ways, or with one of the hearty sandwiches, paired with a house brew. (Try the Murf's Back Draught Porter). Definitely save room for desserts like the banana-topped crème brûlée or the individual cherry pie: They're huge.
Least expensive entree: Avenue Angus burger with one topping, $5.95
Most expensive entree: Irish filet (marinated, grilled beef tenderloin steak with stout and wild mushroom sauce and mashed Yukons), $17.95; specials may be more.
Value added: $3.50 buys you a five-ounce sampling of each of six house brews.
