Went to Brickhouse with my husband last night; overall, I was impressed.
We began by ordering the Summer Buzz (me) and the Anniversary (him) - both very tasty! The Summer Buzz has a hint of honey to balance the hops, and indeed leaves one with a bit of a buzz. Anniversary is light (but not too light) and tasty.
Hubs ordered his favorite meal of all time - plain burger and fries. One can get the burger marinated (in what, I forget) or seasoned with salt and pepper - or naked, as Hubs did. Cooked to order, meat was of a good quality. The thick-cut  fries were sprinkled with some seasoning salt and fried to just the right doneness.
I ordered a wrap - marinated steak, gorgonzola, onions, lettuce, tomato. It also comes with some Cajun mayo, which I had on the side. The thing was huge & a bit unwieldy, so I ended up deconstructing it. The steak was done to order and the ingredients melded well. My side - steamed broccoli - was tasty enough.
I'm not sure we'd specifically schlep to Patchogue for it, but we'll certainly return if we're in the area.
Before I even made it into this place I was brutally attacked by the doorman. Then he smashed my cellphone after I took a video of him to show to the police. I hadn't even had a single beer. I was just there to pick up some money from my friend who was right inside the door.
What a nightmare.
Wow..... Â Does this place get any more boring. Â The food is really boring considering what this place could really be. Â I have been here 3 times over the last year and I think this will be the last time. The bar crowd is OK but the restaurant service is fair at best. Â We were seated and waited almost 15 minutes for the waitress to come over. Â We ordered drinks and it took another 10 minutes (OK Â maybe 12 minutes) to get them. This was the point where we find out that they were out of one of the beers we ordered. Â
In some fairness they were pretty busy but it took us almost 90 minutes to eat and drink. My time is very limited for going out. Â I think I will just stick to Bobbique or the Tap Room next time. They also seem to be a happier bunch!
The Blue Fries
1. The sweet potato fries were cooked to perfection. They were the perfect size, and they were crunchy with just enough potato to be more than crisps.
2. The Blue Cheese covering was plentiful without being over powering. It was a truly plentiful and flavorful covering, but for blue cheese it was amazingly easy to eat..
3. The balsamic dressing complimented the blue cheese flavor perfectly, although I thought it was light. Perhaps a small bowl on the side for dipping would help.
4. The steak fajita was really just a nice piece of steak cut into a few thick juicy pieces server with just cooked enough peppers and onions.
The IPA beer might have been good, but I forgot about it while I stuffed my face with some of the tastiest food I've had in a long time.
Go here, try it.
I had been wanting to try the BrickHouse for a while, and I finally made the drive out to Patchogue last Saturday. Maybe I had too high of hopes. I left feeling a little disappointed.
Food: the menu options were endless, but there was nothing that stood out as original or interesting. I went with fish and chips. They were okay. Nothing special. Boyfriend had a bacon cheeseburger which was good but just a standard cheeseburger.
Beer: the best thing about the BrickHouse is their beer, which was the reason I came in the first place. The IPA was decent, the Anarchy Ale was much better. The Stout was a little watery for my taste.
Overall, the BrickHouse seems like a good place to grab a beer with friends. My advice: eat before you come and concentrate on the beer.
We were having a great time until the terrible manager (jenn) ruined our time by scolding us like children. We called in advance to find out if they could accommodate a bachelorette party, to which they responded "bring it on". It was the first and only time they had to say anything to us so she didnt need to be so rude while we were already repeatedly telling her we were completely agreeing with her. The only thing that saved the night was how unbelieveably awesome our waiter adam was, who also unfortunately got bitched at by that terrible woman. If jenn is in customer service she should learn how to deal with customers. She should take a lesson from adam, whom we loved
Review Source:I come to BrickHouse a decent amount because it's the local favorite for people that aren't horrible (those folk head west on Main Street a bit)....
I'm not a huge fan of their draft beer selection. Either it's a blonde ale, or it's a hoppy beer. Â Although, I do really like Nitro Boom Stout, a dark and creamy brew.
Karaoke night always brings a lot of fun for myself and my friends who love to sing Billy Joel, Journey, and even, dare I say it... 50 cent. :)
The live bands that play, like Funknasty and Breathing East are awesome. BrickHouse definitely gets great local favorites to come out.
I always enjoy my time when I come here, and I'm very lucky it's so close to home. Everyone you meet has a good attitude, is looking to get hammered and make some new friends, and sing songs on stage.
I've got lots of love for ya Brickhouse.
Nice place for a burger and a beer on tap.
Great neighborhood spot to suck down a few beers, its more of a bar than a restaurant. There are a few sandwich items on the menu as well as beer.
Did I mention beer? The Beowulf IPA is one of my favorites being served here.
I came here for my buddies birthday party, they have a special private room upstairs set up just for our party which was cool.
Their food was typical pub grub which is deserving of at least 3 stars. The reason why i was pissed was THEY LIE TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. Selling 2 local craft beers from upstate ny (hurricane kitty and mothers milk BY KEEGAN ALES!) as their own! When you do that you're not just stealing an idea, but also shooting the workers that made your product by not helping them introduce a fan base. Don't GO HERE. THEY DONT MAKE THEIR OWN BEER, AND LIE TO COVER IT UP.
Review Source:Brickhouse is one of my favorite places on Long Island. It's one of the staples in Patchogue. The food isn't the greatest, but I'm a fan of the sandwiches. The beer selection is good...I'm a big beer person and I've never had a beer I didn't like at the Brick.
All in all, Brickhouse is a great place to have a laugh with your friends and have a beer. Or two.
Sometimes I love Brickhouse. Sometimes I don't. Sometimes the waitstaff is attentive, sometimes they strand you in the back dining room without water and you have to ask three times for your check. The food is as inconsistent as the staff, but I forgive that because it is still better than most bar food and the menu is extensive, so it is easy to find something you like. The atmosphere is dim but lively due to a fun loving mixed age crowd.
The beer, brewed in house is always consistent with a menu that rotates slightly depending on the season. I'm a fan of the Streetlight, a crisp blond ale whose flavor stays consistent even as the beer warms.
They also have karaoke and an open mic.
This is the place- you know THE place to go! Eclectic crowd, great music ALWAYS, good micro brew and some good eats!! I am NEVER disappointed at Brickhouse! You need to open one is Smithtown too, PLEASE! But seriously, the food is high quality pub fare, with excellent brick oven pizzas too! Beers are good, their Summer Ale is my favorite, Hurricane Kitty is my second favorite! This is the kinda place you go to happy hour and wind up staying until 2 am.
Review Source:One of the BEST burgers I have ever had!!!! Â If you are a traditionalist try the seasoned burger, but if you are in the mood for something different try their marinaded burger, it was OUTRAGEOUS. Â I had it with smoke gouda and fried onions.
To me consistency is huge. Â I like my burgers medium rare, and they get it perfect EVERY time.
Located in the cute little town of Patchogue, Brickhouse Brewery will provide you with an evening of good times. Â There is an awesome selection of beer, a casual atmosphere, and live music that will do its job at keeping you either mildly entertained or dreadfully bored. Â The food here is typical bar fare, nothing out of the ordinary or memorable. Â The place is a combination of a frat house and a seaside bar. Â I've never been on a tropical island or Cancun or anything like that, but this is the type of place I imagine you would find there. Â Maybe it was just the bad reggae band that was playing that night.
I also thought it what strange that they wouldn't seat us until our entire party arrived. Â There were probably six or seven tables that sat unused for the duration of our meal. Â No big deal. Â We still had a pretty good time at the Brickhouse. Â Maybe we'll even go back.
I think my love affair with BrickHouse Brewery is on the back 9. Â Although I'll always love their beer, my most recent dining experience was sadly, sub-par. Â
Aside from our waitress bringing me the Fish Tacos in lieu of my actual order, the Fish & Chips (maybe she thought I'd had enough fried food in my time?), my companion's meals also left much to be desired.
I will stop in from time to time for a pint and some live music, but will likely pass on dinner next time.
Small Tip: If it can be avoided, don't take a table up stairs, where you can't hear the live music being played downstairs and there's potentially a step class practicing in the room next door.
Great beers and that is what to go seeking. It is a brewery after all. Burgers, homemade batter-dipped onion rings, great. They took away my favorite salad, a buffalo chicken based treat. Stick to simple, pub items. Steer away from pizza. Steak and other entrees looked exceptional. Next time!
Review Source:1st stop on Patchogue Halloween Spook-o-Rama Pub Crawl.
Nice sized bar area with plenty of different types of beers on tap. Â They have the brewing equipment up front though I'm not sure just how often it is in use. Â I thought that for the past few years Blue Point Brewery has been doing the brewing for Brickhouse some of which might be done on site. Â I've never really paid that much attention to what type of brewing activities are going on when I frequent the place. Â
The crowd is usually pretty friendly. Â In my experience the service at the bar and at the tables has been good. Â Place gets loaded up with the younger set later in the evenings. Â Live music at those times is unbearably loud. Â If you like that scene have at it. Â It ain't for me.
I've had the food here on numerous occasions. Â Food is consistent each time I've been there. Â It's essentially bar food with some flair thrown in on certain dishes. Â The food is good but nothing you'll write home about.
They have meeting spaces upstairs. Â Upstairs front is larger than the rear area. Â The space in the upstairs rear has its own bar and accommodates probably up to 40 - 50 people. Â Food offered there is good, just like downstairs, but once again nothing that you'll write home about.
I was there on Saturday night to a packed house. Â The band, Fishdoctor, sounded great but the bar service was deplorable. Â I was overcharged at the bar and by the time I waved the bartender down (which took about 15 minutes) and explained what happened, the bartender practically threw the money in my direction accompanied by an expletive directed at me. Â I took the money and returned to my friends only to be greeted by the same bartender 10 minutes later who tried to say why the figure the bar had was correct and when we did the math and I proved I was overcharged, the bartender abruptly walked away as soon as she came without an apology. Â Apparently at this bar, the customer is never right.
Maybe the food here is good, but the service isn't. Â If I do ever try going back, I would try a weeknight or maybe weekday because the bar is ill-equipped to handle a large weekend crowd.
mmmm mmm mm. Thats what I gotta say about their marinated burger. I came here for lunch with a friend and overheard someone ordering a marinated burger. And since I never heard of one before I decided to jump on the bandwagon. You should do the same, it was such a different taste compared to every burger that I've ever had. seriously
Aside from that, I had myself a glass of Oktoberfest and also tried the sampler. The beer there is pretty good and has tons of good taste to it. I'd definitely would want to come back out there one day, but its a bit far for me (I live in Queens) so I'd just have to wait a little while.
There seems to strong feeling that BrickHouse Brewery is the "ugly half-brother" of John Harvard's. But I believe that at the moment the beer being put out at BrickHouse is better than that of John Harvard's. The standards (Hurricane Kitty, Nitro Boom Stout, Nut Brown Ale) are solid beers for a quick pint after work, and the speciality brews (Beowulf, Mother Chugga, Chaos) on a recent visit, were top notch, especially Mother Chugga.
As far as the food goes, it's standard bar food plus upscale entrees. It's not a place I would go out of my way to go to for dinner, but for a beer or three, it's well worth popping in periodically to see what sort of new things they're brewing. The chili was better than I expected it to be, with a nice little kick of heat (not hot) and my hamburger was cooked properly. I don't know if I would ever try the ~$20 entrees, but they make a good burger. And you can get sweet potato fries.
If you don't want to sit in the bar area (because the game is on, or it's just too loud) there is a secluded dining area behind the bar, which does a pretty good job of maintaining an environment where you can carry on a conversation.
They regularly have open mic nights and local musical acts perform later on the in the evening and have movie nights throughout the year. If you're out visiting Blue Point, or just walking down Main St. in Patchogue, definitely stop in and check it out for yourself.
Great place to grab dinner and a pint.
It kinda reminded me of John Harvards (<a href="http://www.yelp.com/biz/john-harvards-brew-house-lake-grove#hrid:oFiVZ7Tl-OQ1Tx_4E_CddQ/src:self">http://www.yelp.com/biz/…</a>) with the addition of live music and better food! Their Nitro Boom Stout is definitely my kind of beer. Yum.
They also do Beer Pairing Dinners once a month (I believe.) --I gotta remember to check that out.
Not on my list of places to go back to.
I have been to BrickHouse a few times, each time it's been disappointing. Â The food is only good if you've been drinking all day I imagine, and on more than one occasion the place smelled like dirty diapers. Â If you are in the mood to drink lots of beer and hang out at the bar this might do.
She's a Brick. . . well, you know. Â
As a fan of Keegan Ales in Kingston, NY I wanted to meet the rest of the family. Â BrickHouse Brewery is the birthplace of "Hurricane Kitty" (a nickname given to his Grandmother for her unique driving style) and some other recipes the heir Tommy Keegan prepares up the river.
BrickHouse was a good time! Service was a bit slow and spotty; but in all fairness the place was packed.
Ordered the "Brewmaster Wings", dripping in garlic and parmesan, tasty stuff. "Hop Waffle" a high gravity Belgian style IPA was on tap during my visit and is definitely worth trying. A couple Blue Point beers were also on tap; a nice brewery comradery, Blue Point is less than a mile away. Â
I arrived during Sunday Night football, many fans noisily enjoyed the game (NY wasn't even playing, this place must come undone if a local team is on!). Immediately after the game a live band began a set; don't recall their name, mellow "Jewel" styled vocalist played all original songs. The website has up to date listings of live bands and other events including movie nights.
Don't go to BrickHouse if you are interested in a fine dining experience or want to hear each other's conversation. Do go if you enjoy unique high quality microbrews and some good pub grub.
This place isn't bad, but I'm not a big fan. Â It's menu is extensive and priced moderately, so it's good to go there if you've got some high maintenance people with you. Â Their beer is good, food is ok, service is ok. Â If you're looking for a better bar and way better food, do yourself a favor: ditch your friends, cross the street, find Pera-Bell Food Bar and make better friends. Â Much better on all accounts, but more expensive.
Review Source:What keeps me coming back is the beer selection. Brickhouse is great for a quick bite and a good beer. The traditional bar food is consistently good, but lacks imagination. The few times I came here for a sit down dinner and ordered something other than traditional pub fare, I was not impressed.
Beware - if you are looking for an intimate, cozy setting after a movie or a show, this place may not be for you. Later at night, it gets crowded and loud. Particularly on nights when they have live music.
Great for beers and appetizers, for a full meal, not so much.
Beer battered onion rings, shrimp, and wings: Excellent.
Main Course: I had the ribs...pretty terrible. Mostly fat and bone, what little meat there was was  a struggle to get off.
Now, my biggest problem. For a brewery, on a Saturday to be "out of" two of their house brews is a little ridiculous to me. Especially to be out of their seasonal summer brew. Plus, the beers that they did have paled in comparison to the Blue Point beers they had on tap.
I hit this place up for lunch and it was very good.
They have a decent selection of beers brewed on premises. Â I tried a few of them and they all were good. Â
There is a fairly large bar area - tables are along one wall and there are plenty of bar stools available. Â There is a larger room towards the rear that is used as the main dining room.
The food selection was basic pub stuff and then some. Â We stuck with the usual bar menu - wings etc and all was surprisingly good - of course after a few of those yummy beers, all seemed right in the world.
Big parking lot behind the place and some big bathrooms - the better to leave all that beer before you head out.
