Usually I like the set up of the place, the interior tree branches and lights decorating the bar. This time I found the paintings/photos they chose to display to be creepy and they definitely went overboard with the santa decorations and christmas ornaments. Which might be a plus to others.
I honestly don't know where hipsters come from, but they seem to congregate here.. if you're looking to mingle with any this is the place to come. as is much of bloomfield and lawrenceville.
My friend was playing oldies songs at brillobox on a sunday night and we ordered a few appetizers and many drinks throughout the night. Sometimes the bartender is extremely busy and alone which sucks. They have a great selection of beers and I felt lame ordering a yuengling so that I could stay within my budget. They also had the church brew works on special for 3 bucks.
On sundays they have a vegetarian dinner for six dollars, most recently it was saag aloo. They have a korean bbq sauce which isn't authentic by the least and is way too salty. Their menu is eclectic and includes vietnamese bahn mi along with other dishes. I would order their fries which are a well seasoned huge portion if you just want something to snack on while drinking beer and cocktails.
I'll probably edit this review as I frequent this place more often, some of my friends live a minute walking distance from here. It is a fun place to hang out and talk with friends.
