Plan a relaxing date night at Brick House

Plan a relaxing date night at Brick House

by ·

When love — or at least just mutual fondness — is in the air, Brick House Tavern + Tap is the place to be. As the perfect date-night destination, we’ve got all the makings for a relaxed evening out.

Cozy up in one of our comfortable booths or choose your favorite seat on the outdoor patio. Sports fans can enjoy the big game on any the big screens. Feeling playful? We’ve got plenty of lawn and board games available for you. Or just choose a quiet spot and let the conversation flow.

Then get things going with a couple of drinks. In addition to our extensive wine list, our handcrafted cocktails are sure to please any palate. We recommend our classics-with-a twist, such as the Blood Orange Whiskey Sour (Maker’s Mark, blood orange liqueur and lemon) or the Basil Gimlet (Hendrick’s Gin, basil, simple syrup and fresh lime juice). If your heart belongs to beer, don’t forget that we always have plenty of local craft brews on rotation and on tap.

Next, order up some appetizers. Our Seven Layer Dip (white bean hummus, yogurt, tomatoes, avocados, cheddar, olives and harissa), Duck Wings (crispy duck wings, brick sauce and cilantro served with sriracha ranch dipping sauce), Zucchini Curls (panko parmesan, fresh-cut zucchini ribbons and sriracha ranch dipping sauce) are all perfect for lingering over.

And when you’re ready to move on to your main meal, our pizzas are just right for sharing on a date night. Of course, the Pepperoni (hand-cut pepperoni, mozzarella and brick cheese) is a favorite for obvious reasons, but do consider your alternatives: Kobe Brick (Wagyu beef, brick cheese, caramelized onions, oven-roasted tomatoes, bacon and arugula) and Wild Mushroom (wild mushrooms, mozzarella, brick cheese, baby arugula and goat cheese cream). Pair with side salads and you’re good to go.

Or try any of our creative entrées, such as the Prosciutto Wrapped Meatloaf (made with ground chuck, veal and Italian sausage with sweet chili ketchup, mushroom gravy and your choice of side) or the Sirloin Steak Tips (24-hour marinated sirloin served with mushroom and onion gravy, crispy shallots and choice of side).

And assuming you still have room, share a dessert, such as our Chocolate Bourbon Cake (house-baked Woodford Bourbon-soaked chocolate cake with vanilla ice cream and caramel sauce) or the Ultimate Brownie (warm chocolate walnut brownie topped with vanilla ice cream).

What Your Brick House Cocktail Says About You

What Your Brick House Cocktail Says About You

by ·

At Brick House Tavern + Tap, we take special pride in using the finest ingredients and the creativity of a master mixologist to come up with some truly amazing specialty drinks. And as it turns out, your favorite cocktail says a lot about you — aside from the fact that you have great taste. Here’s what your go-to drink tells us about your personality.

Blackberry Collins: Made with Tito’s Handmade Vodka, St-Germain, soda and muddled blackberries, this summer special is sweet but with a sophisticated edge… kind of like you.

Patron Jalapeno Rita: Always the life of the party, you’re the one your friends can depend on to heat things up. That’s why you’re a fan of this cocktail made with Patrón Silver, fresh jalapeños, cilantro, lime juice and a chipotle cinnamon rim.

Truly Cool Vodka & Soda: You’re laid-back and chill, so you dig this simply refreshing mix of Truly Spiked & Sparkling Colima Lime and Svedka Cucumber Lime Vodka.

Sparkling Sangria: We can tell by your Instagram feed that you love the finer things in life. Luckily for you, this effervescent libation — made with New Amsterdam Mango Vodka, champagne, peach syrup, sweet n’ sour, strawberries and orange — tastes as great as it looks.

The Zombie: You’re the “work hard, play harder” type. So when you belly up to the bar, you look for the drink with the biggest kick. This one — made with Bacardi Rum, Cruzan 151, Captain Morgan, pineapple and orange topped with Myer’s Dark Rum — more than fits the bill. That’s why we limit you to two.

Twisted Old Fashioned: People think you’re a traditionalist, but that isn’t to say you don’t appreciate a fresh take on a standard. We suggest this deliciously fruity cocktail, made with Woodford Reserve Bourbon, orange peel and muddled dark cherries.

Cheers!

Introducing Brick House’s new seasonal specials

Introducing Brick House’s new seasonal specials

by ·

As if you needed a good reason to visit Brick House, we’re here with about a dozen more. That’s right: We just launched our new daily specials menu.

We think you’ll agree that this season’s specials are especially inspired. Here’s a look at what you can expect.

Feeling thirsty? Allow us to introduce you to our new seasonal cocktails. The Truly Cool Vodka & Soda is a refreshing mix of Truly Spiked & Sparkling Colima Lime and Svedka Cucumber Lime Vodka. For a truly summery bev, the Blackberry Collins is a delightful blend of Tito’s Handmade Vodka, St-Germain, soda and freshly muddled blackberries. And if you’re looking to heat things up, the Patrón Jalapeño Rita — Patron Silver, fresh jalapenos, cilantro, lime juice and a chipotle cinnamon rim — is just the thing.

And because every drink needs some eats on the side, we recommend pairing your cocktail with any of our snack specials. The Loaded Thai Tots gets you crispy tater tots topped with Thai BBQ, peanut sauce, cilantro mayo, Sriracha and lime. And forget the ham and cheese sandwich. Our Ham In Cheese features layers of prosciutto, salami, arugula, pesto and tomato sandwiched between two slices of panko Parmesan-crusted mozzarella. And you don’t want to miss the Spinach Artichoke Pizza with Parmesan cream, prosciutto, spinach, artichokes, arugula, oven-roasted tomatoes, asparagus and ground pepper.

And because every day deserves something special, we’re thrilled to introduce you to our daily specials.

On Mondays, try the Roast Chicken: half a chicken served with gin jus, mashed potatoes and green beans.

On Tuesdays, it’s time for Spicy Sticky Ribs: pork ribs with sweet and spicy Thai BBQ, peanut sauce and cilantro with garlic broccoli.

Wednesdays were made for Lamb Chops. We brush ours with an herb garlic sauce and serve them with roasted potatoes and asparagus.

Burger fans will live for Thursdays, when we serve our Pimento Cheese Burger: our famous house burger with scratch-made pimento cheese.

You can get the weekend off to a good start with Coconut Shrimp Fridays. You get a plate of plump shrimp served with spicy coconut cream sauce, seared green beans and jasmine rice.

And because it’s too good to reserve for just one night a week, we offer our Steak Nights on Friday, Saturday and Sunday. You get your pick of Braveheart Black Angus ribeye or filet served with wild mushroom butter, roasted red potatoes and your choice of side.

Cheers to summer eats!

Feast with your friends this Thanksgiving Eve

Feast with your friends this Thanksgiving Eve

by ·

Real talk: We love the traditional Thanksgiving family gathering — hello, green bean casserole — but we can’t deny that sometimes things can get a little stressful. When you have that many people who don’t see each other that often crammed together in a dining room trying their best to hold on to their “company manners,” things are bound to get a little bit awkward.

But if you’re looking for something to be thankful for, remember that you can choose the family you hang out with before Thanksgiving. Whether it’s a pre-game outing with your favorite cousins or an informal class reunion with the old gang, Friendsgiving is definitely a reason to celebrate. And, naturally, we can think of no better place than Brick House.

Because caring means sharing, we’re proud to highlight a number of appetizers that are perfect for passing around the table. There’s our Butcher’s Board, an assortment of cheese and hand-sliced cured meats; Tavern Wings, 1 pound of wings with your choice of buffalo or brick sauce served with ranch, bleu cheese or sriracha ranch sauce and a generous portion of house-made chips; Seven Layer Dip, white bean purée, harissa, yogurt, oven-roasted tomatoes, smashed avocados, smoked cheddar and chopped olives served with grilled naan.

Any of our amazing pizzas, such as the Kobe Brick Pizza — marinara, wagyu beef, brick cheese, caramelized onions, oven-roasted tomatoes, crispy bacon and arugula — or our Wild Mushroom Pizza — shiitake, portabello, cremini, mozzarella, brick cheese, roasted garlic oregano-infused oil, baby arugula and goat-cheese cream — also make perfect Friendsgiving fare.

And with our amazing drink menu, which includes an expansive selection of craft and import beers as well as the familiar standbys, wines and specialty cocktails, there’s more than one way to get into the spirit of things … if you catch our drift. (Just be sure to stay safe by calling a cab or rideshare if you plan to drink.)

We’ll be serving all of your favorite $5 and $7 snacks and drink specials during Happiness Hour Wednesday night… as if you needed another reason to get people together for a Brick House Friendsgiving. Head online and find your nearest Brick House location today.

If you have plans to host your own Friendsgiving or holiday party, let us take care of the food! Call your local Brick House and order one of our traveling trays.

What are you thankful for? Let us know on social media using the official hashtag #BrickHouseTT.
