    Chicken Tacos
    Aubrey P.

    We love Brickies!! It's a fun local bar with a welcoming environment and the most friendly staff and a a little kitchen that packs in a whole lot of flavor! Amazing burgers and some of the best chicken tacos ever! The Parmesan dusted taco shell is delicious!!

    The awesome Chicken Taco!!!

    I started going to Brickies in the early 90's when Jody owned the property and the bar was on the other side. I loved this bar with my whole heart. It was my Brickies family! I could go there by myself and feel safe and well taken care of. Then Jody sold it and my world changed and so did my family. The bartenders, cooks, the food all changed. I stopped going for a really long time, then I went to the Milk & Honey Festival and I was in the area and I drove by Brickies and saw an old friend in the parking lot. I went in and caught up with my long time friend Whitney. He caught me up on the years I missed. I decided it was time to go back again and order the food! My all time favorite was the Chicken Taco with dips & salas. I have to admit the taco was almost like I remember but even better. The chips weren't stale now it comes with sour cream. I told the cook how much I loved it and the bartender Katie was super nice & attentive. I even got to see my old friend again. I loved that the Brew Bike was outside and the guys were having so much fun inside! It's a new era and maybe this is a sign you're meant to come back and join the Brickies family! If you're in the area, stop in and order a drink and a bite you won't be disappointed!!!

    Potato Salad

    A great neighborhood bsr in downtown Reno serving up a phenomenal burger AND they have Guinness on tap! They have specials to keep things interesting but the burgers clearly rule the roost here Personal favorite is The Works. A bacon cheeseburger with an Ortega green chile! Delicious! They don't offer fries but have tater tots snd an amazing homemade potato salad. I would have probably given 4 stars but the Guinness puts them over the top for me!

    Its a local dive bar known for burgers. The food was good. Not the best ever though. I ordered the burger (no cheese) and was asked to choose a side (fries, tots and or some other choices that I cannot recall now.) I picked the tots. My dining partner ordered the Quesadilla w chicken. It was meh. Plain jane and quite pedestrian. I don't recommend. I had a Beer. She had the Nutrl. Drink meu looks as expected. Drinks were cold. Great staff. Lana and Katie. Both did a fabulous job with great, friendly attitudes and smiles a mile wide. Ok here's where it goes south and quickly too...... The menu shows one price for the cheese burger. (remember I asked for no cheese) My bill showed an increased price for the burger (minus cheese!?) I spoke with Lana and she apologized profusely. She explained that if you get tots as the side there is an up charge. Nowhere on the menu does it reflect this and when my order was taken, I was asked for what side I wished for. When I said "tots" she did not warn me or even mention that there was an up charge for this side. So, as most would, I assumed that it came with the meal as shown on the menu. She had mentioned that they have brought this to the attention of the management and owners but to the date of my dining there they have not addressed it. I have to say this is my A-NUMBER ONE PET PEEVE!!! Don not try the bait and switch. This is a shady practice and many diners, I am sure, do not pay attention to their bills to the extent that I do. So, take warning that you should check you bill against the menu when cashing out. Once again the staff was great. Respectful and totally understood and were very apologetic. (its close to tip time so....) Bottom line, the bill was adjusted. HOWEVER, It's the point though. This kind of practice is not cool. I might return but not until they make new menus or stop up-charging with out notice.

    Bloody marry

    This place has some good burger ratings so I decided to check it out on a late Saturday morning. Overall the atmosphere is great for a dive bar and my bloody marry was made great. Burger toppings came on the side which I appreciated. However the grill was dirty as my burger had black crunchies on it and I could taste the gas from the grill. Salad was delicious but my fork was dirty to begin with. Overall might be worth another try.

    I've only recently been introduced to Brickies, and it's quickly becoming one of my favorite local bars. It's what you would call a hole in the wall bar, but in the best way. There's nothing fancy about it, the bar and staff are down to earth, you will most likely be surrounded by regulars, and surprisingly I always see a family or two in here enjoying dinner, which I think is great. Brickies has something for everyone with a broad menu to choose from, drink specials, good beers on tap, and plenty of space. I've haven't eaten a meal here yet, but look forward to trying some of the food and from what I've seen and smelled it looks appetizing. Plan on updating my review after a meal, but I have nothing but great things to say about the bartenders, always friendly and attentive, and I always seem to strike up a friendly conversation with someone when I'm here. A must stop for a local Reno bar experience!

    Always a solid choice for breakfast or lunch. Small little spot. Full bar and delicious food. This bar gives you that small town feel. Lots of regulars come to watch sports and chat with staff. They've got drink specials and a full bar

    Bacon cheeseburger. Don't get more classic than this. And I'm a tots guy so extra points.
    Chris J.

    Food was exactly what I was looking for. Classic bar burger. Service was good. Attentive bartender. I mean it's nothing fancy. But for a good food and beer with a slot bar. My fav. The ambiance will do. Def gonna be back. I've walked in twice before and couldn't get a seat at the bar. Glad I did today.

    this is my favorite dive bar and i will defend it with my life. the people: insanely nice. the burgers: hit the spot in a way that requires extra napkins and zero shame. the menu is pub food delicious and absolutely not good for you which is exactly the point. come hungry leave happy maybe slightly greasy. cold drinks good vibes no nonsense just a perfect little hole in the wall that never lets me down. i love this place and will be back forever

    We were downtown last week and had the pleasure of eating at Brickie's again. The staff was great and kept us laughing and engaged the whole time. Love this hole in the wall. Give it a try.

    It has been at least 20 years since my previous trip to Brickies. To set the stage, it is a small locally owned tavern, 14 seats at the bar and 7 high tables. It is clean and screams sports, dive and gambling tavern. There is a good amount of off street parking and is just far enough away from downtown to stave off the riffraff. Very friendly staff that was 100% attentive throughout our visit. Our server was so attentive to all of the patrons that that he brought water to a service/seeing eye dog seated next to us. The issues we had to day was the food. We ordered tater-tots and they were out. I am not sure if the cook was unfamiliar with cooking the fries that they replaced them with, but they came out underdone, soggy and greasy. I think they were cooked in an oven as opposed to hot oil. The chicken fingers for the same reason came out cooked but with soggy coating. On the a better note the burger was cooked well and had a great flavor.

    The burgers are killer. Super friendly. It's definitely a dive bar with sports memorabilia.

Our server checked on us the right amount and our food came out quickly. We ordered the Giant Hamburger and the BLT. The burger was thick, juicy, and piled high with classic toppings, messy in the best way and full of flavor. The BLT was generously stacked with crispy bacon, fresh lettuce, and tomato on toasted bread, simple and satisfying. The only downsides were the fries and my drink. The fries were overcooked, dry, and a bit too tough. I ordered a vodka soda, and it tasted more like soda with a splash of vodka. Overall, it was a good experience and we would return.

We came in for Saturday Brunch around 10am, early, I know, however we were greeted and given a table right away. The restaurant wasn't busy for a Saturday, we did receive really attentive and thoughtful service from our server, Kylie. While they still had their Holiday drink specials menu, the server did confirm they have 2 for 1 mimosas and $6 bloody marys. The special was a Prime Rib breakfast burrito which both of the people I came in with ordered while I ordered the breakfast BLT. The Prime Rib burrito was so tender and juicy with a fried egg in the middle, definitely a special item for sure. I had the BLT on an everything bagel with a side of fruit and it hit the spot of a lighter, less hearty breakfast. For good service and cheap drinks, I will definitely be back!

The atmosphere is everything you would want from a local bar joint. Pool table, Dart boards nice outside patio with heaters. Appetizers were Onions Rings and Cheesy Garlic Bread. The Onion Rings were tempura style fresh made in house...no frozen bag crap here. For my husband they were a hair on the doughy side but they weren't greasy at all which a totally appreciate. The Garlic bread was tasty having a hard Toasted cheese top with the gooey cheese underneath and the flavor was spot on. I'm a dark beer drinker so I went for the MOOSE DROOL if you had to many the moose wouldn't be the only thing drooling . You can't go to a tavern and not try one of the drafts...that would just be wrong. Hubby had the Prime Rib sandwich thought it was tasty with the chimiruri sauce and provolone cheese. I had the Meatloaf melt. It was the bomb. Tons of grilled onions a total mess to eat but so worth it...just make sure to ask for extra napkins. It's a place worth driving to...hang with the locals and have a pint. Be kind to one another

Both were fantastic, seasoned nicely and cooked to a perfect temperature!! For our entree we hate the BEE STING pizza. Make with a 72 Hour Fermented Organic Dough topped with Salami, red onion, basil, serranos, mozzarella and honey. The crust was delicious, crunchy, thin and when combined with the sauce, seasoning and toppings, an excellent pizza. Additionally we ordered two of the in-house, housemaid pasta. The ARRABBIATA , a roasted red pepper campanelle, with Calabrese sausage, garlic, chilis, broccolini and topped with Parmesan, pecorino. The other pasta we tried was the BLACK SPAGHETTI, mixed with clams, scallops, shrimp, hot chopped peppers, white wine, butter and lemon. It was fantastic!! Cooked al dente and packed with flavor.
