What seems to be hot right now are places that are like a wine bar/craft cocktails/tapas.... Bin 77, Olive or Twist and the Merchant are all killing it right now. Just an observation.

Agree. We need more trendy type spots. While cocktail/small plates is no new concept in bigger cities, BR is only recently starting to see it appear and people are eating it up.

I think we are finally seeing a shift from places that all serve the same food. I wouldn't be surprised one bit to see new spots that are doing the same ole thing close soon, for example Canefield Tavern. We don't need any more fried seafood/poboys/burgers/chicken sandwiches type spots.

my wife will put a tiki bar there that serves old school Chinese appetizers

I was just thinking this past weekend how much I'd love a Chinese cocktail bar/small plates type place. I was craving ethnic food, but it was a Saturday night and I didn't want to sit in some empty bland place with no alcohol. I was imagining how nice a Chinese spot with good drinks and a fun atmosphere would be.
