Brix is designed as a wine bar and bistro in the European tradition where good food and good wine are central to daily life. The name "Brix" is derived from Adolf Brix, whose refractometer is used by winemakers to measure (in units called Brix) the sugar content of a grape as it ripens on the vine.

  The zinc bar top is a tradition in Paris.
Ours was made by Thierry Nectoux, a third generation bar builder and the last maker of handcrafted zinc bars in Paris. His bar tops are currently in only four other cities in North America. If you go to Paris, you will likely see a bar top made by Thierry's grandfather and the beautiful patina it has developed over time.
   We are truly excited to bring a touch of Europe to downtown Pittsfield. Salût!
