We’ve really been enjoying The Grange since they moved in too. Great neighborhood pub. Seems to get a lot of traffic, but still feels like the neighborhood crowd rather than the tourists. Brickstore is great on Mondays too, when the tourists aren’t around.

To paraphrase Yogi Berra, it appears Brick Store is so crowded that no one goes there anymore.

We started going to BSP just after they opened and agree with all. It’s a great place, but not the same place. That doesn’t bother me though because, when it opened, it was really Decatur’s one true pub (as in Public House). Yes, Trackside and Eddie’s were here, but I think you know what I’m getting at. Now, we’re blessed with all kinds of neighborhood pubs, each with its own unique vibe, so the more intimate feeling’s not necessarily lost forever. It just has a different address.

Maybe I’m partial because they’re down the block, but I find Thinking Man similar in many ways to BSP’s early days. Like Glockenspieler recalls, they refill my pint often without me having to ask…
