Great place! Comfortable, great menu and good drinks! Love the speakeasy! Staff very friendly and accommodating! Thanks. Still here! Just had the BEST MARSHMALLOW EVER!! Thanks guys Dean and AJ!!! read more

GREAT FOOD and GREAT SERVICE!!!! Let's face it, beer is beer. That doesn't change much from place to place as far as quality goes. This place does have a better selection than most though. The best part about Brick n Brew is the food though. Everything we had was good from pizza to pork sliders to different French fries, it's all been good. The service is great as well. The servers are knowledgeable about the menu and food/drink in general. The place is usually packed when we've gone, but it is possible to get a seat. Definitely try it out. read more

I came here with my friends for lunch, we spent over $100.00 and were treated poorly by our server and staff. Our server thought I told her I wanted a third drink and after I turned it away when someone else brought it to me she came over to me questioning me about it. Shortly after that my friend ordered another drink and as soon as she put it on the table she asked if she could give us the check. Our server, the manager and a third person then began clearing napkins, silverware, plates, everything off of our table before my friend even took a sip of her drink. We ordered several drinks, an appetizer and entrees. The restaurant was not closing, there were empty tables, there was no reason we should have been rushed out in the obnoxious way we were. I was also charged for the third drink and was changed $2.00 to substitute a cheese on my burger. The only time we were checked on was to see if we wanted more drinks, no one asked us if we were enjoying our food. The staff here provided poor customer service and showed a lack of respect for their customers. I would not recommend spending money here, there are plenty of other restaurants just seconds away that have way better tasting food at better prices with friendly and appreciative staff. read more

Great food and the staff was very attentive!!!! Best whiskey sours hands down. Cant wait to go again.

Unfortunately 2 stars is the best I can do. I've tried this place probably about ten times now. I'm in the business, have been for over 10 years, and I've opened many restaurants. I honestly just don't know what this place is doing. Food is consistently inconsistent, leaning more towards consistently lacking. The service is subpar at best and the hostess need to figure out what being a host is. I had high hopes for this place and was hoping to see it do well but after today it seems it's not going to change anytime soon. When you quote someone for a 20 minute pick up time and then add another 40 minutes when the person arrives it's time to start reevaluating things. read more

Food was okay, beer okay. Focus is on Whiskey. If that is what you are looking for, it is the place to go - although skip their house Whiskey Sour. read more

So I finally got to try the Brick and Brew! Live so close to the one in Havertown, but never could get in, always way to crowded for me. So today my bff and I did lunch in Media. We sat outside, but the bees just wouldn't leave us alone , so they put us at a two seated hightop table right off the outside area. Bad choices on the stools and the tables, although cool looking, too small and too wobbly! No backs to these too hard too slippery , no footrest seats...It was so uncomfortable! I was thinking the only way this design works is if you don't want your customers to stay too long. Okay on to the food . I'm a vegan so I'm always happy to see options for me. And they had some( just had to say no cheese on some things) We ordered the fried pickles, that was different, they were like ribbon cut and the batter was light and crispy, tasted great, I think they should cut them just a tad thicker, I would have enjoyed to have more pickle. But I still loved them and would order them again. Also the dip for them looked like a mayo base so I used the bottle of sauce on the table ( the only condiment on our table).We also got the brussel sprouts( without the Parmesan), they were delicious! They came in a little cast-iron pan! We also split a black bean pesto brick oven pizza ( order no cheese), but it came with cheese... They did offer to take it back and redo it ,but it looked so beautiful and my friend doesn't mind the cheese , and I hate to waste food, so I said it's okay I'll just pick off the cheese. And it was fine, and they do a great brick oven, done but burnt like some I have had elsewhere. The beer we had was okay, not my taste but others seemed to really enjoy it. Oh and our server was so nice and efficient. So I took a star away for the poor design choices in the wobbly and soooooo uncomfortable hightop seating, and no hooks for purses! Fix the wobbly tables and put cushion on those stools and I will give this a 5star rating! read more

Love love love !!! The food was great-really creative menu!! Loved the bison sliders. Drinks were terrific - all natural ingredients, really refreshing !! Service was amazing. Can't wait to go back !!!!!! read more

My wife and I were undecided where to go last night and I am so glad she picked this place. The beer was cold the food was delicious and the service was excellent. I highly recommend this place and we will be back again and again. Being on State street in Media you think of alot of great eateries, this is a must add to your list. Dana was fantastic always checking in on us to make sure we were satisfied and we had everything we needed, no rushing let us enjoy the great atmosphere. read more

We had previously eaten at the Havertown location and really liked the food and atmosphere. When we heard that one was opening in downtown Media we were very happy to have a great gastro pub near us. We just went and had our first dinner there recently and it exceeded our expectations with a great designed restaurant and the staff were excellent. They had an amazing set of beers on tap (awesome double IPA for me and wife got a great lager). The appetizers were excellent, we got the prosciutto fries as well as the roasted brussels sprouts and both were prepared perfectly. I ordered the special burger and it was cooked medium and delicious. My wife ordered a salad and really liked it and kids ordered wood oven pizza and another burger and all of them loved the food. Needless to say we will be going back regularly and I will be bringing my growler next time. A big fan of this place and highly recommend. They also just added a cool outdoor deck which we want to check out on next visit. read more

Wonderful bar, beer selection, and pub food. But WAY too noisy! We only go for dinner when we can get there before the crowds arrive ( before 6PM) or eat outside,which isn't very often. They really need to do something to abate the noise or they won't be seeing much of us, who are regular Media diners read more

at first i liked brick and brew but the last few times i have been in the food wasn't quite as good, besides the wait for a table or seat at the bar (which is quite a long time)!!!! my first experience was great i sat at the bar and had a fantastic bartender who made took me through the menu and she was very attentive and caring! the next few times i had hoped to see her and when i asked another bartender about her i got an extremely rude attitude and my food took over 30 min when i was on my lunch break! unfortunately my drink wasnt very good either which was suprising! when i asked if she could make another she was rude again! i'm sorry but i don't think i will be back. watch out for an older thin girl behind the bar she doesnt seem to know much about whiskey and makes very weak drinks:( wont be back!! read more

Awful. Wouldn't even give them one star if I had the opportunity. Terrible service, the people that work there are slow and rude to their customers. Spoke to the manager about concerns while I was dining there with my family, he is honestly one of the most abrasive people I've ever encountered and could care less about customer service. This is not a family friendly establishment and does not have a good atmosphere at all. Also, I find it a bit concerning that my seventeen year old son jokingly tried to order an alcoholic drink and the waiter brought it over without even carding him. Don't waste your time or money, head over to Iron Hill, Spazzos, etc. anywhere else honestly if you want to enjoy your night. read more

Went there with my wife last night for dinner and were fortunate to be seated right away. The reviews here and the busyness intrigued us- so we wanted to see what the fuss was about! Had the stuffed pineapple, beet salad, and melanzana flatbread-the later on the special menu. All were fantastic- colorful, flavorful, well presented. Service by Laura B was first-rate. Appreciate the multiple check-ins from her and your floor manager. The attention to these reviews demonstrates a commitment to staff and the business and encouraged me to write a review I know will be read and acted on. It's rare to find a place with a demographic swath from kids to folks in their 60s where everyone looked pretty comfortable. I will add that other reviews that mention that the place is on the loud side are accurate-- it's not the worst problem to have, but perhaps something might be done to add some acoustic deadeners. Mere quibble, however. Lots more to try on this menu! We'll be back. read more

Food here is consistently good. Service is always excellent. Brandon takes care of us every time. Watching Joby at the pizza bar is like watching an artist at his craft. I highly recommend Brick and Brew in Media read more

Service at the bar was terrible. Actually had to stop the bartender and say, "you think we can put in a drink order"? Apparently, washing the glasses was more important than waiting on customers. After we were eventually seated, I spoke to a manager who couldn't care less. Do yourself a favor and walk 2 blocks up and go to iron hill. I won't be back or recommend this place to anyone. read more

Had ANOTHER excellent meal at Brick & Brew !! New Tom Collins was a refreshing preview to the nicer weather to come !! Special shout-out to Dana for her wonderful knowledge of EVERYTHING (especially because there were some Brick & Brew Newbies in our party) !! Dana's service is impeccable, as well !! read more

I came to brick and brew last week after a friend recommended it, I was VERY disappointed with the customer service. The server was very rude and seemed very rushed. He did not have knowledge about the specials and could not describe the details of them. He replied with "I'm not sure" when I asked about the October pig burger. Before our meal we sat at the bar, and the cocktails were great! But the service needs improvement ASAP. Hope this review helps when deciding venues in media!! read more

Boy, what a find. Actually needed to find a restroom, so we went in for a drink, stayed for the food and took a pizza home. Liz our server was very attentive. The crab sliders and French fries were delicious. And their homemade ketchup was awesome. Nice selection of beers. Atmosphere was interesting. Got a bit warm where we were sitting (across from the brick oven). The crab and asparagus pizza was delicious. Going to try the wild mushroom next time. We'll be back! read more

My wife and I have been to the Havertown location many times so we decided to check out the new Media location and we were not disappointed! This location was much larger in size (which is the only "complaint" I have about Havertown,) the decor is amazing, and the food/drinks/service were just as good as Havertown. My wife had the charcuterie late and I had the pineapple habanero wings. Both were so good that neither of us wanted to share! Great beer & bourbon selection and delicious cocktails. We WILL be back! read more

We went tonight with four adults and four kids. It was delicious. You have to try the prosciutto fries, they were fantastic! Everything we tried was delicious. Great food, great drinks and great atmosphere. read more

Great ambience & decor. Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Unique flavors on the menu. We liked the white bean hummus, pineapple topped with pulled pork & parmesan and the grilled cheese with shredded beef short ribs. Small craft beer menu but a decent whiskey list. Packed and busy on weekends, expect an hour wait or so. Have a drink or go shopping while you wait. read more

My wife and I decided to give this a try. She ordered a pepperoni pizza, I ordered the spicy sausage pie. Mine arrived and we were told that my wife's was coming, so I decided to wait Five minutes later, we were told that my wife's pie had been dropped and they were making another. I began to eat mine, as it was cooling. Not a good dining experience for a couple. The toppings were skimpy and the crust was overdone, reminiscent of a cracker. The overall effect was high school cafeteria meets the frozen section. When my wife's pie arrived, the crust was barely cooked, clearly a rush job. Meanwhile. the bus boy. who had been hovering, grabbed my pie plate while I was still eating. The server and manager were properly apologetic but there was just too much wrong. I heard one server refer to the kitchen as being" a mess up there." As noted, staff were apologetic, but the experience was not one I would be eager to repeat. Not good value for the money. read more

My wife and I tried the B & B for the first time Tuesday. The owners made major improvements to the restaurant's interior. The place was hopping @ 8:30. We were seated outside which was very pleasant on a summer evening. Our waitress was Vicki. We had the callimari (sp?) salad and the pepperoni pizza. Both were delicious. The service was terrific. I expect this place will be the kind of place that Yogi Berra once described as:" No one goes there anymore; it's too crowded". We'll persevere nonetheless. read more

We had dinner a couple weeks ago at Brick & Brew in Media. It was a wonderful experience! The prosciutto fries and brussel sprouts apps were absolutely delicious and so were the fish tacos, which were a special entree. Our server was very friendly and helpful too. We can't wait to go back! read more

Ok..this place is always crowded, but for good reason. The food was amazing. Had the Parma pizza which was delicious and the lobster Mac and cheese. I had an old fashioned to drink and moved on to their amazing beer list. Their cocktails all have really fresh ingredients and I love the whiskey selection as well. Media has just put it self on the map!! Thanks read more

Went to Brick & Brew on a Tuesday evening. The prosciutto fries were tasteless and mushy. My son got the deviled eggs and said they were ok, my other son got wings and they were greasy. I got a special flatbread pizza for dinner with pears, walnuts, Gorgonzola cheese, etc and it was very good. That's where it ends. My son got the short rib grill cheese. First off it was soggy and there was a very hard piece of meat (about the size of a ping pong ball if flattening) in the one half. My other son got bison round-ups. They were RAW! Not sure why he ate one of the three but when I saw the inside I couldn't believe it. I told the waitress and she took the plate back and the chef (using that term loosely) must of took the meat off, heated it and put back on. Now he has cold fries and what was on the burgers was also cold. She brought back the 2 remaining burgers. A good restaurant would have given him a totally new dish. Not that I expected much for a "pub" but you would think it was a five star restaurant by the crowds. Oh, the best thing! Ask for ketchup and waitress said they had their own ketchup, really?! What about kids if they eat there? Anyway, the house ketchup was horrible. Can't describe the taste, but it was the farthest thing from ketchup. Very disappointed read more

Fun atmosphere, but the space is very loud; difficult to hear people at your own table. Got the bison sliders- great flavor, but way overcooked. Willing to give it another try. read more

This place ROCKS!! Can't tell you how much we enjoy B&B. Even though we're out of the area, we make no hesitation to travel here for a good time. The food is exceptional and the specialty drinks are superb. We are always treated kindly by the staff and made to feel very much at home (but I don't have to cook). From craft beers to unique foods, this place is an absolute home run. We love the fried pickles as well as the wings. Personally, I'm also a HUGE fan of the old fashioned. You'll NEVER be disappointed... read more

Atmosphere was nice. Service great, except for the person who refused me regular ketchup and then gave me a tiny cup for a giant plate of fries. Our party of four could of shared one plate of fries. They were cold and tasteless and no one ate them. I had buttermilk chicken. It was mushy tasteless and greasy. It's been 3 hrs and my stomach is still trying to digest it. The flatbread with filet was the special. It wasn't anything special. The burger was ok. And the tuna sand ok. I would go here for a drinks and atmosphere. Skip the food. FYI When the weather is cold out they do not serve any warm drinks. read more

We were there for opening night. Absolutely packed! Since it was so hot outside I wanted something other than beer to drink. Server took the time with me despite being swamped and suggested the signature Whiskey Sour which was a perfect choice. I sampled 2 more drinks which were also very fresh tasting, not that premix stuff. My husband's beer was nice & cold. Our water glasses were refilled right on time as well without asking or waiting. We shared the mussels... Dipping the toasted bread is a must! He ordered the Bison Sliders, no ketchup nec while I got the Lobster Sliders which was filled w chunks of lobster! We lucked into a pair of seats at the bar where the bartenders (Steve & Joe)took great care to serve us quickly (& often) while also managing conversations making us feel welcome & not rushed. We'll be back this Friday night (& bringing a few more folks to our spot) to sample more of the menu, the whiskey, & the newest beers on tap! Looking forward to becoming regulars!!!! Loved the ambience. read more

Nice place! Friendly staff (mostly) but always crowded! and way too loud! good beer selection and the food is quite good too

Met several co-works for dinner. The service was great thanks to our waitress Christine and the drinks and food was great. Love the décor and the friendly atmosphere!!! This is be one of my new favorite places. read more

I ate at Brik and Brew about 2 wks.ago with friends for lunch. I didn't like the menu and thought the prices were expensive. My friend ordered the Brussel sprouts and when they came it had a odor to them and tasted sour. The waitress took them off the bill. She also had lobster sliders which were not good. I had mussels in white wine sauce with garlic toast that didn't taste like any garlic on. The mussels were so small and the sauce tasted bland. For$14 dollars not worth it. I think this place is for young people who like to drink a lot. Thank God we got small not high chairs to sit on. I will never go back. The place was so loud that you could not hear the friends with you. read more

Absolutely the worst experience I've had at a restaurant. Wife and I waited 45 minutes as did friends of ours, for our food. Finally had to get the food to go so we wouldn't miss an appoitment. Staff could care less when we complained othe r than to say sorry and that the pizza ovens aren't big enough,which causes delays. Tables are too close to each other making it very uncomfortable. Will never recommend to any friends or co workers. Do yourself a favor and skip this place for any number of the area restaurants with better service read more

Went for the first time last night. Not impressed. The interior is nicely done and it wasn't crowded, but still was quite loud. Although the place is named Brick & *Brew* our server told us it was a whiskey bar and tried to pitch the cocktails. They need to do a better job explaining the beers on tap - the confusing menu simply listed the name and ABV with no explanation of type (is it a lager vs stout?), IBU, or flavor profile. We asked for a few tastes and they were so small (less than a mouthful) that we couldn't really evaluate. Our very nice server was woefully uninformed about the beers, and frankly we did not find anything new on the tap menu that we would order again. The food was ok - we had wings, pizza and roasted Brussels sprouts. The wings were quite good, nicely done and very meaty. The wild mushroom pizza was ok, but missing depth. And the 'roasted' spouts were way overdone, mushy and drowning in the balsamic sauce. Bottom line: Don't think we'll rush back anytime soon... read more

I went to the Brick n Brew on Tuesday night and was I ever impressed. When we arrived the place was jumping. The hostesses did a great job of checking if we were looking for a table as soon as we walked in. We had about a 20 minute wait. So we got a drink at the bar first. The tall bartender Justin suggested that I try their new fall drink the Cider House Whiskey...and it was awesome. It tastes like Fall in a glass! Our waiter Joby did a great job, we wound up getting 3 of the weekly specials after listening to him describe them...fish tacos were heavenly. The pizza chef, I think his name was Steve, even came over to our table at one point to ask us how our mushroom pizza was...and he was truly genuine in making sure we were enjoying our dining experience. Trust me folks, don't be discouraged by the wait for a table...this food is worth the wait! Just get a Cider House Whiskey at the bar & your table will be ready before you know it. read more

Met with a group of friends to check out the B&B. Despite the fact that they DO NOT HAVE HAPPY HOUR, the place was packed and extremely noisy. We moved to a table after first sitting at a high top with spinning stools that were not comfortable. Our server was polite and appropriately attentive during our meal. The Beet Salad was excellent, but my Crab PLT came on a soft hoagie roll that was too much bread for the small amount of crab inside, so I ate it open faced. The fries were good and crispy. My first Cosmo was ok, but the second one tasted like straight lime juice with no alcohol. I told our server and asked for a replacement; he immediately brought another one that actually tasted like it contained alcohol. Needless to say,we were all very surprised when getting the check to find out that ALL of our drinks (8) were labeled Ketel 1 on the bill. NO ONE in our party of 4 requested top shelf vodka, which helped to raise our total bill to $225 + tip. We ordered dessert and coffee, but our server said THEY DO NOT HAVE COFFEE! My friends enjoyed the cheesecake. I got the funnel cake which was long trips of dough (no comparison to the original) served with a small cup of chocolate sauce for dipping. It was a generous portion, but I only ate 3 because it was so chewy my jaw was getting tired. Overall, just an ok place, nothing that really wowed me, except the Beet Salad. I'll stick with my old standby down the street that has a huge menu, great food, coffee, and most importantly HAPPY HOUR! read more
