Solid 4 star experience. Arrived around five on a Saturday evening and was seated right away. The place was super busy, yet the waitstaff somehow got us seats. They also took our order and had our food out in no time. Based on some of the reviews on here, we decided to try the fried pickles. They were delicious, and the spicy dipping sauce provided a nice touch. I ordered the spicy sausage pizza and my wife the four cheese. Both of us thought our pizzas were good enough. I also tried one of their tap beers which turned out to be pretty tasty as well. We were seated outside, and it was the perfect night to be there--not too hot or cold. We sat next to a very busy area with a lot of body traffic near us, which was a little uncomfortable, but overall a nice spot to visit in Media. The people across from us ordered burgers which looked amazing . I think that is what I'm going to try the next time that I visit. read more

Fun place. They have a unique menu, food is good. Had the burger and fries, and spicy peanut sauce wings. Delicious. Great bartenders. Blue moon blueberry drink was excellent. read more

Worst experience ever !! I have been to brick and brew in media multiple times and I never had the experience that I had last night. My friends and I were out for a girls night and we're all coming from work in different cars. We understood that the rule was you had to have all parties there before you can be seated. 10 seconds before we should of been seated our friends were literally walking up the side entrance to where Me and my other friend were standing right by the table WE WERE ALL THERE. The hostess and the manager said excuse me but their first come first serve and proceeded to seat the another party. It was so unprofessional and rude. Horrible customer service that not only did they loose out on four hours of food and drinks as a customer that night but also will never go back and will tell everyone we know. I can totally understand if when they sat the other party all 5 of us were not there but WE WERE. read more

Just what Media needed! A hip, elegant pub with high end cocktails, good pub food and a fun atmosphere. Have been on several occasions, usually after work for happy hour with colleagues. Never been disappointed - the appetizers are great, love the fried pickles and the soft pretzels. Good selection of draft beer to round it out! read more

Mediocre food. Both of our burgers were overcooked when we had ordered them medium well. The stuffed pineapple had potential but the way they served it made it cumbersome to eat. It's a mound of pork ontop of a thick piece of pineapple that you have to cut into pieces yourself to eat. Which would be fine if they gave you more than a butter knife to cut it with. We left there disappointed in what we had hoped would be a good addition to State Street. They do have a good beer selection at least, but then again, so does Acme. read more

Service and people are impeccable. Great food, friendly bartenders, fast service, and lovely atmosphere. The exact opposite of the rift rafts who ran the plumstead. Much of the bad reviews on here are from butt hurt drunks sad that their hero sold the plumstead. I highly recommend this place. read more

Delicious burger and friendly service. Fries are excellent. It's a narrow menu, but everything is delicious.

Had great expectations about this establishment. Unfortunately, Service was extremely slow and poor. Food was cold and just average. Media has so many restaurants to offer so I would highly recommend going somewhere else. read more

Love this spot! Good food but I wouldn't go for date because it can be kinda of noisey. Their signature cocktails are really good

After having a wonderful experience at the Havertown location, I decided to go out with friends to the Media restaurant. I ordered an Old Fashioned drink after a long week at work. Before I took two sips of the drink, I decided to send the drink back since it had a mint flavor in it. Old Fashioned drinks should never taste minty. I decided to settle for a beer instead. When the check arrived, the Old Fashioned was still on the tab. I asked for the manager and explained my unhappiness with the drink -- a drink I barely had a sip of. Because initially, our waiter informed me that I could not remove it from the bill. The manager proceeded to tell me "our patrons know what an Old Fashioned tastes like, which is why it's one of our most popular drinks. That's why I cannot take it off of the bill. You order it, you have to pay for it." Needless to say I am never going back to a Brick and Brew restaurant again. That was the worst customer service I have ever experienced. The fact that the restaurant was more worried about cashing in on a $10 drink than my satisfaction is ridiculous. Do yourself a favor and go to Iron Hill Brewery or the Sterling Pig. read more

After hearing raving reviews about this establishment I was very excited to take my 4 guests that were in town to experience. The bad experiences started with our arrival to the restaurant. The hostess seemed to lack the sense of time as we were told our wait time would be 2 hours. We debated outside if we were going to stay or not but within 10 minutes we were seated. The hostess preceded to bring us inside only to tell us to wait, and then while she was on the other end of the restaurant she waved us to follow her to our table. She should've at least taken the time to walk back to us and take us to our table. After being excited that we were seated 1 hour and 50 minutes earlier than we expected we opened the menu to find almost every beer on tap to be gone. We ordered drinks and while the beers and Pinot Grigio were satisfactory, the Pimm's Cup was simply disgusting. After having two sips it was asked to be replaced by a Pinot Grigio and was told by the waiter that he "would see what he could do." After this response I asked to speak to manager which was ignored. We then went to order appetizers and AFTER ordering the wings on the specials menu we were told they were sold out. On to ordering entrees, we tried to order the Poutine which, again, AFTER we ordered was told it was sold out. We then tried to order the mussles on the specials and, again, AFTER we tried to order it was told it was unavailable. We final managed to order 5 dishes that were not sold out. Two of the entrees we ordered were then delivered and then approximately 20 minutes later the rest of the three entrees were delivered. These last three dishes happened to be pizzas, and believe me, these pizzas were not worth the wait. They were so poorly seasoned it was impossible to eat. Salt was absolutely necessary which was no where to be found as well as the waiter. We had to flag down another waitress just for some salt. After the waiter was finally located, pepper was requested which we were told would be hard to find. I mean, honestly, what restaurant doesn't have salt and pepper for each table in the establishment? Also, the cheese and the tomato sauce was like oil and water; they just did not want to mix. The cheese basically slid right off the crust. It was brutal. While the fries were going to be a positive I could not enjoy them as normal ketchup was not an option, instead we were given Brick n Brew's "famous" ketchup. This was nothing short of gross. It legit tasted like it was just vinegar and rancid tomato paste. None of us could handle more than a small taste of it. Receiving our check we were told that we would not be charged with one of our wine orders in order to offset the price of the Pimm's Cup that was returned. Upon review of the receipt we were surprised to find the wine cost $3 less than the Pimm's Cup, which did not add up to us. On the way out we were asked if we had a great time and we sadly responded with "unfortunately no, it was terrible." Our response back from the staff was, "Oh." The positives would be the Speakeasy(drink) and the working toilets and electricity. All in all I was mortified this was where I had to take my guests and will most definitely NOT be returning. read more

If you are looking for delicious food or handcrafted cocktails, and extensive whiskey selection or an excellent choice of beers on draft, this is the place for you! Friendly, efficient and knowledgeable staff, unique and wonderful atmosphere, and did I mention the delicious food? From the appetizers to the desserts, you will not be able to visit just once! read more

This place is new and has a lot of kinks to be worked out in management and wait staff. We finally got a seat in this place after trying for several weeks. The waiter we had was awful. He barely saw us and we had to place our order with the food runner. And after that I had to get my own drinks at the bar and ask several times for water. So when the check finally comes we asked to have it split between the obvious group of us my girlfriend and my friends girlfriend. He says that he can't do that and we should have told him before hand. I have never heard this before and I know its BS. So then he splits it 50/50 and then stalks us to see if he was going to get a big tip. We tipped according to service which there was none. I could have served myself. He follows us outside and confronts us and asks why. I should have peed on him but said you are not a waiter you were never even there. You are basically a worker in this place and have no waiting skills he walks back in to complain to his manager which my girlfriend talked to and he offered us gift cards. We said no. This place is a mess. They need to train the staff and the management. We will likely never go back. The pizza is far better at Ariano's. I just never had a waiter follow us out of a restaurant and ask for more tip. Very bizarre and down right rude. Someone needs to hire real staff and management here. read more

I never write bad reviews, but unfortunately we had such a bad experience here that I have been given no choice. Being a former customer of Brick & Brew in Havertown, I was very excited to try this new place with my mom and my boyfriend. I really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and service at the location in Havertown and have been there quite a few times. However, I have to agree with the other reviewers in saying that this new location really needs to work out the "kinks". We arrived at about 7pm on a Saturday and of course expected a wait. What bothered me was the rudeness of the hostess, who was unable to inform us how long the wait would be and provided minimal to no effort in trying to "guesstimate" or at least determine a wait time. I must have asked her three different ways for an approximation of wait time, as we were willing to wait up to an hour and just grab drinks at the bar. Still, no solid answer there. We decided to put our name in anyway. She honestly made us feel as if we were not welcome and that she really could have cared less if we decided to stay or go. I was really bothered by her attitude, but gave her the benefit of the doubt, as they obviously seemed busy. An hour passed, and I inquired about our wait again to another hostess, who treated us the same way. As a former hostess and avid restaurant-goer, I feel that it's important to communicate with the guests and this was just totally lacking in this situation. We were getting ready to leave, but then she said they would have a table ready in a few minutes. Long story short, a few minutes turned into almost another hour and we just could not wait any longer, as we were starving and practically missed dinner altogether. We were also not the only ones experiencing this issue, as there was another party waiting behind us who also vented their frustrations about the hostess situation. When their buzzer went off to let them know their table was ready, they brought it over to the hostess, who had a confused look on her face and said that she did not have a table ready for them. No explanation, no apology, really just did not care. Apparently she meant to buzz our table, but we told the other patrons they could have it. We had enough and we headed over to Iron Hill instead. As a resident of Media and someone who loves to go out, I suggest these "kinks" be worked out. While I enjoy the environment and the food of this establishment, I won't sacrifice my evening for poor communication, non-existent customer service, and a 2 hour wait that easily could have been avoided if the hostess had bothered to inform us how long the wait would be. read more

They either need more time to get it together or better management. Four of us went on Saturday around 5 pm. They were out of almost every beer on tap. They didn't have Malibu rum (what kind of bar doesn't stock this???). Table and booth surround were very rough wood - snagged the back of my top. Menu was limited - there wasn't anything on it that we wanted to eat. Asked for check and was chastised by server who told us that the tables were only for diners, not just for drinking. Quickly exited and went to Iron Hill for good beer and delicious food. read more

My husband and I stopped by Brick &Brew in Media since we love the Havertown location and we were not disappointed! The burger was cooked to perfection and the lobster sandwich was phenomenal. The beer selection is terrific. We were seated right away and the sever was great. They had it all together in the first week. The decor was beautiful, you can tell that they put love in all the details. We look forward to going back! read more

Great food, awesome space. Love this one way more than the havertown location. Definitely will be my summer happy hour go to next year!

Love the ambiance!! friendly staff and all knowledgeable. The stuffed pineapple is amazing and the portions for all the entrees are sizable. Sandwiches can be a little greasy but everything was so delicious. Will be back. read more

Part of the updates scene in Media. Very cool and hip atmosphere. I love the wings here. It is built to be a happening happy hour spot, and it sure hits that's mark. Always a crowd. Food is good, not great, but you can find some gems, like the wings. It's a cool spot for a more social experience. read more

Amazing apps, amazing drinks, and awesome atmosphere. Definitely a new hangout spot!!

I arrived around 9pm on a Saturday night. The place was crowded because of a jazz event in Media. No problem we waited at the bar. Someone made a mistake somewhere and started to sit my husband and I at a table for four. I explained that we were only two and they said sorry gave me my pager back and asked us to wait again. No problem. While standing in the bar area I really started to get bothered. I was watching both of the young men in front of the pizza oven. Neither of them had gloves on. The first guy making the pizza kept touching his nose and his hair he even sneezed once! The second guy was cleaning with cleaner and sweeping the floor. He picked up something that fell on the floor while cleaning and never washed his hands. The other guy never washed his hands either. I leaned over and asked why don't you wear gloves and he said I couldn't make the dough if I did. WHAT?? What kind of answer is that. I later asked the waitress and she himmed and hawed and didn't know why not. When we were once again seated I ordered a dill salmon dip and the quinoa burger. The quinoa was decided on after they would not make a sandwich without the bread?? Why not???My husband had a burger. I was thinking of a pizza but after watching those guys that was a no go. The dip was oddly textured with random bits of salmon. The consistency was not what I was hoping for. The quinoa burger was so dry it hurt my teeth. Little pieces of I'm going to say cornmeal?? were throughout the burger and it actually hurt to eat. My husbands burger was ok. I told the waitress I could not eat fries and she never offered anything else. I did not even eat a quarter of my meal or the dip and no question was ever asked if there was a problem. I also wanted to just send an email to the restaurant without writing a bad review but there is no email on their website. We are not drinkers and I have alot of food restrictions so I was hoping to have great food with great service. There was no allowing for any food allergies. read more

Great service, fantastic beer and drinks, and incredible, unique food. Would recommend it.

My husband and I and 2 friends decided to give this place a go. The wait wasn't awful for a Saturday night and the staff was polite. The decor is amazing, good thought went into it. My issue comes with the pizza. Both my husband and our friend ordered the pizza, it was not good. The cheese was flavorless as well as the sauce. The crust was the real crime, it was soaked and floppy which for a thin crust is a struggle. I had the bison sliders which were delicious!! The fries were nothing special but in the face of the sad pizza delicious. We did not have any cocktails but they looked amazing!! I would go back but not for the pizza...... read more

Great local pub with a good bar menu...but wow the place gets super crowded and it's hard to get in the door sometimes. Hopefully (for me!) the popularity dies down a bit and it gets less crowded because I think this could be a mainstay in Media for years to come! read more

Awesome meal again at Brick and Brew. Never disappoints. Despite the crowds, our waitress Sarah was extremely attentive and friendly. Starting with the cocktails - the strawberry fields drink was perfect. Muddled strawberries, vodka and honey/lemon. Very good drink! My husband had the whiskey sour- made with their house made sour mix, a perfect blend. I noticed a great beer selection. We chose the wings, the duck confit were delicious and the fried artichoke special with truffle aioli. We also ordered the short rib flatbread and the bison sliders and duck sliders. Everything was delicious. Looking forward to our next visit. read more

The service was excellent. The place "felt" comfortable. The food was average. Stuffed Pineapple was interesting, white bean hummus was bland, Crab PLT lacked any strong flavor compliments/contrasts. read more

Their directive seems to be: disrespect the customer so they won't come back. You'll search in vain for any passion or joy from the staff. The bland 4 cheese pizza is overpriced for its cardboard qualities. Prices can not be found on many items which is not tempting. The atmosphere is not welcoming nor overly inviting. We were told by our very condescending waiter that he would not serve us because we should have stayed at the bar. The hostess told us we'd have to give up our table which we had asked for 3 times and it was empty for over 20 minutes because our waiter was upset we had moved from the bar. We tried in vane to order more food and drinks but were shot down by our impolite waiter who said he would not serve us. Money apparently is not important to this establishment but disrespect is. I cannot see myself ever returning. read more

We kept walking past this place wanting to try it but it was always so packed. The bar is usually packed but even with a wait we were seated quickly. My favorite thing on the menu are the Crispy Duck Sliders- duck confit, carrot-radish slaw, cilantro, jalapeño, english cucumber, garlic-chili aioli. An interesting mix of flavors and textures. They have weekly food specials as well which is how we tried their poutine. So good! Wish it was on the regular menu. They have a big selection of beers and cocktails as well. The reason for the 4 stars is some of high top tables are easily knocked into or are too close to the hostess area so people end up running into your tables. The place can get crowded but definitely worth a stop to enjoy their food and the cool atmosphere. read more

Haven't eaten. But 50 minutes into our wait they can't tell us how much longer the wait is. Friendly but not competent staff.

Just moved to Media and this place will definitely be our go to place! Amazing drinks, amazing food and friendly staff! Love the atmosphere!

Nice place. The food to complicated. That bring a lot of uncertity of what or how it might be.

Came in for a few drinks and a snack last Friday night. Ambiance was upbeat with a lot of younger patrons which was great for us. Ordered a couple cocktails which were fabulous.. the cocktail selection is diverse and plentiful! I loved my cider house whiskey and State St Social. We also ordered the fried pickles which, in my opinion, were not good at all. The pickles were sliced lengthwise so thin and fried to the point that there was literally no pickle taste.. just tasted like crunchy fried batter. Which was so disappointing because fried pickles are my favorite. We sat right up at the pizza bar and, after seeing all of the pizzas being made, agreed we should have gotten a pizza. But I'll still give 4 stars because our service was on point even though the restaurant was very busy. Our server was so attentive and we were never left with empt beverages. Looking forward to trying other items on the menu! read more

Good beer selection and a huge bourbon offering. Beers were good; soft pretzel was on par with others.

I love the food here. I even enjoyed the fried pickles and I don't even like pickles!! Unfortunately, because the food and drinks are so good it is difficult to get a table for dinner. I wish they took reservations but it is worth the wait! They have a fun ambiance/decor as well. read more

Stopped in this afternoon with a friend for a bite to eat and a quick drink. First off, WOW! The decor is so welcoming and rustic! We sat at the bar and met Joe, who had extensive knowledge of whiskeys. I had the Plumstead, a tip of the cap to the previous residents. Absolutely EXCELLENT! My friend had the Marilyn Monroe and her drink was also a perfect mix! Joe then steered us towards the food menu, which was filled with selections for everyone. We ordered; the Stuffed Pineapple, great balance of sweet and tangy with a avocado salsa. The Confit Wings. Never have I had a wing so tender! And then we split a delicious Shortrib Pizza! Best Pizza I have had in a while! The caramelized onions are such a compliment to the savory Shortrib. Top that off with some fresh shaved Horseradish and you basically tease all of your taste buds!!! With the decor, service, drinks and food, I think we found our new Media place!! read more

Worst food ever. Don't paid 2 dollars extra for 3 small pieces of crab in your soup. Don't tell the manger because she doesn't care. Paid 27 for the worst lunch ever. Will never eat lunch there again read more

This place is amazing! The service was outstanding. We had the pretzel w/ mustard appetizer which was delicious and fresh baked. The Arrabbiata wood fired pizza was perfect. Just the right amount of heat, with a thin, crispy crust. Great selection of cocktails, beer, wine, and whiskey. The fried cheesecake for dessert was incredible. Did I mention it had chocolate ganache? Well, it did, and it was good!! The staff was very attentive and friendly. I'm almost tempted to sell my house in VA and move to PA so I could eat here every day! read more

An absolute winner! I guess you would classify this as a gastro pub but the food is incredible. The menu is very very unique. I had the wonton nachos which were awesome. Their confit chicken wings were the best wings I ever had. And their beer selection is huge AND their mixed drink selection is the most unique you will ever see, such as strawberry fields or their own Tom Collins recipe. A must see bar/restaurant in Delco. read more

My finacee and I came in here today for dinner and boy was it busy. My finacee and I did not mind the 30 minute wait for our table but to wait that long, be seated in a uncomfortable table and the food was the terrible was the last straw. I order the lobster slider and it was so gross. The presentation was pretty but there was barely any lobster meat on it. My lobster slider was a joke, it had ton of mayo anf carrots in it. My finacee order a brew buger and asked for it well it came it raw. Never coming back here again. read more

We walked in and were seated. After experiencing the noise level and looking at the menu we walked out. Overpriced bar food. Too many TVS going Ugh! read more
