Red Brick Tavern -- Rosendale, NY

Aaaaand, we're back!  And we went to the Red Brick in Rosendale.  The bar tenders are super friendly, and the food portions are so big, you're going to want a partner to share with.  I find their prices a bit high, but it helps when you share.  That doesn't mean I'm going to share my beer, though.

At the Red Brick, they used to have the coolest sink in the restroom.  I love the waterfall types, and this one was like an old fashioned hand pump, but modernized.  Anyway, times have changed, and so has the sink.

Like the rest of the bar, it is dark, wood, almost in great shape.  I do have an issue with the door, however.  They seem to have trouble with the lock, and right now it's a hook and eye affair, which doesn't quite do the job.  Having been on both sides of the door, I can tell you that you do have privacy mostly, but I'd really prefer privacy altogether. The good thing is that the ladies' is at the end of a teeny short hall right by the bar, so it's not exposed to the world, just to the one person trying to get in.  But still.

Also, I didn't see any other hook.  Like for a purse or coat.  Not that I'd take my coat in, but still.  How much is a hook?  On the other hand, if they can't handle the lock situation, maybe they don't trust themselves with the hook deal.

All in all, the Red Brick is a pretty nice place to hang out.  Sharing food makes the prices easier to take, and the commode is useable, but be warned you might feel a tad exposed.
