You’ve gotta hand it to the folks over at Brix. This Cherry Creek “anti-bistro” manages to bring in hordes of Creekers night after night, and the place packs in even more beautiful people with the recent expansions. I dropped by earlier this week (after hitting Cucina Colore to catch up with a gal pal over the excellent white sangria they serve) and found Brix’s new patio already filling up only minutes after they opened at 5 p.m. The bar area soon followed suit, and after 8 p.m. on Wednesday – Saturday nights, the Brix Basement (formerly Nectar) offers additional space in a sassy red-and-black lounge area where DJs spin until the wee hours. It’s so new that the place still reeks of paint, but give it another week and it’s certain to become the place for sippings and sightings in the neighborhood.
