From Brix to Brick on Clinton

Back in October, we noted the signage arrival of Brix Wine Bar at 19-21 Clinton St. between Stanton and Houston. 

At the time, we figured it might be from the folks running Brix Wine Shop on Avenue B. However, owner Beatriz Gutierrez told EVG contributor Stacie Joy that she was not behind this Brix.

Perhaps other people had the same thought. There's new signage now for Brick Wine Bar. (Thanks to EVG reader Fiona for the pic!)

Brick Wine Bar owner George Mercardo previously operated Barbarrio (2017-2019) on Lexington Avenue in East Harlem. 

Brix/Brick takes the space from Oh La La Cafe, which closed last summer... and, previously, Cocoa Bar. 

A recent post from the Brick Instagram account notes that they are opening "real soon." 

About Brix Wine Bar, coming soon to Clinton Street

Signage is now up at 19-21 Clinton St. for Brix, a wine bar here between Stanton and Houston. (Thanks to EVG reader Fiona for the tip!)

At first glance, we thought it might be a new venture for the folks who own Brix Wine Shop on Avenue B. However, owner Beatriz Gutierrez told EVG contributor Stacie Joy that she was not behind this Brix.

Turns out this wine-coffee bar is via George Mercado, who received the OK in August via CB3 for a beer-wine license here...

He previously operated Barbarrio (2017-2019) on Lexington Avenue in East Harlem. 

Brix takes the space from Oh La La Cafe, which closed this past summer... and, previously, Cocoa Bar.
