There always seems to be some buzz in the air when Friday nights arrive. Well, that’s unless a downpour is in the forecast, which means walking in-and-around town isn’t necessarily the most attractive thing to do.

Then again, there’s shelter from the deluge at any one of the restaurants in Red Bank. Our latest trek took us to The Downtown, where the drinks are flowing and the food has all the comforts you expect – with its own selective spin on traditional dishes, of course.

We order the chicken quesadilla, which features cajun chicken, creamed spinach, shredded plain cheddar and pepper jack, tomato and red onion. There’s definitely a spicy kick to it, so if that’s okay with your palate, then go for it. Meanwhile, the southern fried chicken sandwich comes with shredded iceberg, dill pickles, and sriracha/ranch sauce on a brioche roll.

Don’t miss out on all the action, so make sure to check out all the latest pictures below from our recent visit.
