by brickhouseblog · Oct 30, 2017

‘Tis the season for party planning. Maybe you’re having the crew over for the big game. Or perhaps you’re hosting your gang’s annual Friendsgiving. Looking even further down the calendar, you can see that your sister is coming into town with all her kids in tow and you’ve also committed to your office’s holiday party-planning committee.

Whatever the occasion this holiday season, Brick House Tavern + Tap can help lighten the load. Our Traveling Trays feature party-size quantities of our most popular appetizers. Order ahead and we’ll have everything wrapped up and ready to go for you to pick up. It doesn’t get any easier — or tastier. Take a peek at the menu!

Meatballs. You get your choice of 30 drunken pork or buffalo chicken meatballs for $35. Serve with crusty sliced bread for a starter your friends and family will rave about.

Housemade Soft Pretzels. Because variety is the spice of life, this tray pairs 20 salted soft pretzels with our white queso, yellow mustard and Sriracha ranch dipping sauces, all for just $30.

Sliders. Sometimes the best things come in small packages. Case in point — our silver-dollar burger sliders. You get 20 for just $35.

Deviled Eggs. This tray comes loaded with 30 hard-boiled eggs for $25. With smoky bacon, a hint of jalapeño and paprika, they’re a classic with a kick.

Tavern Wings. This high-flying tray sports 50 crispy wings and your choice of buffalo, BBQ or brick sauce for $45.

Pick up a couple cases of your favorite brew, the makings for your signature cocktail and a few non-alcoholic options, and you’re golden.

So what are you waiting for? Call your local Brick House to place your holiday Traveling Trays order today.

5 fun icebreakers for your holiday happy hour

by Emma Margaux Miller · Dec 20, 2016

‘Tis the season to be jolly… with your coworkers. That’s right — it’s time for the annual office holiday party. We’ve all been to at least one bad office holiday party, but we think they can be a lot of fun, especially when you host yours at Brick House.

This year, ditch the Crock-Pot of cocktail sausages and leave the hard work to us. We’ll keep the drinks and apps coming while you get things going with some of these ice-breaking games your guests will actually want to play.

Christmas Carol Charades. C’mon, who doesn’t love a good charade? They’re harder than you think and guaranteed to have everyone laughing — especially when you see your HR director pantomiming “Rockin’ Around the Christmas Tree.”

Ugly Sweater Contest. Everyone’s a winner with an ugly sweater contest. Put on that Fair Isle pullover your aunt picked up for you and start coming up with award categories. Most Christmas Spirit, Loudest (color scheme), Loudest (jingle bell application) and Most Sparkle are just a few possibilities.

Christmas Movie Trivia. Divide into two teams and battle it out to see who reigns supreme. Now is the time to start brushing up on movies from “Elf” to “It’s a Wonderful Life.” And don’t forget the sort-of-Christmas-but-not-really titles, like “Die Hard” and “Harry Potter.”

Photo Booth Lite. You don’t need an actual booth or backdrop to have some fun with photos. Grab that selfie stick and some fun props such as Santa hats, elf ears, reindeer antlers and anything else you can think of. Be sure to tag us (#BrickHouseTT) in your photos so we can enjoy them, too!

The Perfect Gift Exchange. Have each person bring a wrapped present to the party without a tag on it! Number the gifts, mix them up and pass them around. Have each person try to guess who brought the gift!

If you decide to host your get-together at home this year, let Brick House do the cooking. Call and place an order for one of our traveling trays today!

And as you’re planning your holiday party, be sure to keep safety in mind. Make sure everyone has a safe ride home by pre-booking cabs or ride shares.

Happy holidays!

Brick House: The perfect spot for any occasion

by brickhouseblog · Oct 13, 2016

We think every day is a good day to come to Brick House — no need to look for a special occasion. But just in case you needed an excuse, here are some of our favorite reasons to come down and see us.

Post-work libations. There’s a reason they call it the daily grind. After a grueling workday, there’s nothing better than kicking back with a few like-minded souls for libations and a few snacks. That’s just the sort of thing happy hour is made for.

That’s why our Happiness Hour runs from Monday through Friday every week. It’s perfect for those days you manage to slip away early, as well as those times you’re stuck a little later than you’d like.

Weekend unwind. Brunch is a very necessary weekend tradition, so why wait until Sunday? If breakfast is the most important meal of the day, then brunch is the most important meal of the week. That’s why we offer our imaginative brunch favorites — Grand Marnier French Toast, anyone? — on both Saturday and Sunday. Don’t forget our amazing brunch beverages, like the Bloody Good Mary, Blood Orange Whiskey Sour, House Mimosa and Moscow Mule.

Birthdays with a bang. Throwing a party? We know how to party. We have seated dinner options for parties with a minimum of 15 guests and buffet options for parties with a minimum of 30 guests. We offer favorites like the House Cheeseburger, Fish & Chips and Grilled Mahi Mahi, as well as special options such as carving stations and mini dessert assortments. And if the party is at your place, we have amazing Traveling Trays available to take home.

Holiday Happenings. Let us take care of the food, so you can concentrate on the guest list! Book by November 21, 2016 for parties from December 1, 2016 through January 16, 2017 and you’ll get 10% off up to $500. Whether you’re in charge of your company’s Holiday party or just want to get the gang together while they’re all in town, we’ll help make the gathering a successful one. Contact BHGroupSales@BHouseRestaurants.com for more information today.

The big game(s). Sure, you’ve got your team. But you still have to keep tabs on everyone else to know who to cheer and jeer during playoffs. And that’s why Brick House is the best place to watch all the games. We have multiple high-def TVs, so you don’t have to flip back and forth between channels. We have fast Wi-Fi, which makes streaming additional games and keeping up with your favorite commentators on Twitter a breeze. And we have amazing appetizers and craft beers. Need we say more?

First (and second, and third) dates. Whether it’s someone new or your main squeeze, picking the perfect date spot is important. It needs to be laid-back enough that you enjoy yourselves, but at the same time, you want to impress. And that’s where Brick House comes in. We’re easygoing and unpretentious, but our talented Chef Tim has the culinary chops to put creative twists on old favorites. Long story short: Brick House is for lovers — and everyone else.
