Description
Brinkley's mascot is a rakish, bow-tied teddy bear posing next to a bicycle: an example of the pub's emphasis on elegance and informality. For instance, though wine-colored, leather-studded couches fill the room, the walls are made of subway tiles. The beer and cocktail selection is minimal, but carefully curated. In the cocktail department, try the Bluebird, featuring Blue Coat gin with blue-cheese-stuffed olives on the side; on tap, go with Ommegang Witte, a malty, light, and locally brewed Belgian made with orange peel and coriander. Both go well with the grass-fed hamburger, and both will earn you a nod of approval from the handsome teddy bear.
