Brik on York Says Goodbye on Colfax

So Long Pie and Vino News: Brik on York, sommelier Travis Gee’s two-year-old pizza joint, wine bar, and live music venue at 2223 East Colfax Avenue, closed its doors over the weekend. Appearing on Sunday morning, the restaurant’s Facebook page farewell read: “Brik is officially closed for business my friends. It was a short and beautiful dream, but unfortunately we could not get on top of all the financial constraints that would otherwise allow us to succeed.” Gee, a Colorado native who traveled the world and opened his modern eatery in July 2015 in a revamped wristwatch repair shop, hosted burlesque brunches and passport wine tastings at Brik. No word yet on any future business plans.
