The burgers are cooked perfect and great taste. Spicy curds are delicious. Staff is friendly & welcoming. Bar seating is a good size. Behind the bar is very spacious for staff which creates small walkway for customers. read more

Found love in this hopeless place. Found love again and then actually, unbelievably, again here. The crown jewel of all shitbox OU bars, the cream of the misfit weirdo staff crop. A true charcuterie of Athens Ohio. Fuck the oil slick and the dirty shit they do behind broken stairs, painted and repainted walls, unlatched doors... but rock on grimy RedBrick rats!!! You rule. read more

Red Brick is one of the most reliable bars in Athens. I just visited again after being gone for over 13 years, and the deals are still great. I'd definitely recommend for a decent crowd and even better beer specials. read more

The Red Brick is a very cool place to just kick back and chill if that's what you want . But when the music starts thumping you just can not help but move your body to the epic dance floor.

Don't let outside looks fool you. Take one step in Red Brick and you have entered the Mecca of bars. TV's, drinks, music, this place has it all. Don't get me started on the impeccable hospitality. Strangers are best friends and the regulars are family. Miller lite is preferred but a wide selection of alcohol is provided. Service is the backbone of this establishment. Quick and attentive bartenders make the experience easy and enjoyable. This is definitively the best bar on court street. Don't waste a moment going anywhere else. P.S. They also sell Miller by the case, so.... run it up. read more

Red Brick Tavern - Subpar bartender. Subpar drinks - Sports Bars Near Me - Athens, Ohio

Red Brick was the first place I ever ate in Athens when I went to visit OU in 2004! You will always run into friends when you are at Red Brick. When I was there this past weekend for Homecoming 2012 the bar tender told me that they got rid of their menu and no longer serve food, full bar only. Even though their food may not have been the best, they had a killer teriyaki burger that was always my go-to meal while during an OSU game. Best vibe! Best place to get a MEGAMUG! read more

Bar manager refused to change tv channel for multiple customers solely based on political view. Two different bartenders believed that tonic water was the same thing as club soda after asking for club soda; they were out of club soda....at a bar, at 7:30 p.m. knew this place was a disgrace for being NOTORIOUS for serving underage patrons and never checking ID's. read more

This place has the best bouncers in Athens. They are better than the bouncers in the movie Roadhouse.

This is such a fun little hole in the wall. Ivan and I used to go here to dance before he passed away late September. He didn't really die but he is dead to me. He left me for my son-in-laws' mother-in-law's sister. I said all that because she is no longer my sister because she, too, is dead to me. Now she is dead to everyone because she actually died. It is a shame she didn't even see the car coming. Ivan phoned me last night to try to return home but I refused. Once a cheat, always a cheat. Where was I? Red brick is a fun time. read more

Absolute horrendous service. We got there when it opened at 6pm and waited until 7pm before we decided to leave because the bartenders had helped everyone else but us (especially the people they knew). I will never be going back, and I advise everyone else to go to better places than this one because so many more great bars exist in Athens. I have never had service as terrible as I did here. read more

Although the main reason I dislike this business is that my scummy former landlord (slumlord) now owns it, it is a business I did not like even before he bought it. I ate here twice because my husband's friend loves it, and both times I was disappointed. The food was very typical sports bar food, but not done very well. I also thought the prices were high for what you got. The crowd at night are typical college jocks and sorority types, not my scene! (If I had one...) If you want a similar feel to the Redbrick, just cross the street to the Pub, for a much more relaxed feel, and much tastier bar food. read more

Wednesday nights are $5.00 liquor pitcher nights. The girls go for the Blue Lightning Lemonade, but you can order any combination of liquor and mixer. I had a Whiskey and Coke. It was.... strong. They are heavy handed on the pours so it's a pretty awesome deal. The beers are cheap, too. Get loaded and go across the street to Red Brick for 18 and up night for some scenery. read more

Ok, here is another bar review for the little town of Athens. I've stepped out of always going to the same bar and have been trying others. My friends and I have a new thing where we go to Red Brick around 11 or so. At this time at night, the dining area turns into a dance floor. I've heard people call it 'the new nightclub in Athens'. It gets pretty packed so I suggest going down to the basement first to get a drink (you'll get served quicker then at the upstairs bar) then head on up to dance the night away. Fair warning: it gets pretty hot in there so make sure to wear something that you can stay cool in. Also, the dj has like 10 songs on his playlist so don't expect him to have a song when you go to request one. The staff is not friendly what-so-ever so be prepared to deal with them. read more

Terrible food, pretty sure my girlfriend and I got food poisoning from eating here. Never again!

The only thing this place has going for it is it's mega mugs which are not mugs at all but 32oz plastic cups. Crappy beer selection as well and is always filled with underages and bros every time I've been here. Pretty boring atmosphere along with terrible service. read more

Wahhh I drank too much here! But I do remember the hot wings were good. Boo to not remembering how you got home.

If you are looking for good service and food do not come here. It's an ok place if you are finishing up a night of drinking, but expect to have issues even getting a drink. The food is mediocre at best and you will wait an hour just to get a sandwich, which is normally wrong or missing half the toppings you ordered. Five of us went for dinner, the wings had no sauce on them, burgers were over cooked. The various toppings we ordered were missing and didn't even bring us silverware and napkins after asking 3 times. However with all of that said.. if you are out on a bar crawl none of that matters. read more

This place deserves no stars. Food inedible. Over-fried, greasy and cold. Beer okay, though crappy selection. Waitress surly. Go to the Pub instead. read more

Don't bother with eating here. My experiences have been hit or miss, but mostly miss. I find the food overpriced for what they offer for just about everything on the menu. I will say, that their daily specials on food are usually decent but on any other day, I would choose to eat elsewhere just from taking price into account. The food itself is mediocre. The burgers can be decent, but average. The most frustrating part is that their wings. They are just aren't good. The sauces leave much to be desired and the wings themselves are very meh. If you're really craving wings, just go to BW3's, even though the service there can week and wings expensive as well (different subject, though). In my experience the curly fries are very generic, and more times than not I've received a bunch of tiny fragments of what was a curly fry, rather than the nice sized, curled up potatoes that you would imagine. The onion rings are to be avoided. They're bland, cold, and usually seem like they've been left in the deep fryer way too long. As for getting a drink here, Red Brick isn't bad. The beer selection on tap is pretty good and the prices aren't too high. It's a good place to come and grab a beer. On most nights, if you're looking for a pretty sloppy time, come on in. I won't lie when I say that I've had a blast doing Karaoke on Wednesdays or dancing on the weekends, but the novelty has worn off for the most part. It also takes forever to get out of there when it's packed, as the bar makes a bottleneck at the entrance.... But that's not really any fault of the owners / management. read more

Wasnt a big fan. I felt like I was in a sweaty steam room paying a lot for drinks. I dont know if they still have them, but I got a "Mega Mug". I like the idea, but the mug was an over sized plastic cup of beer, and my beer got warm very fast. I thought mugs are supposed to have handles too?!?! Maybe the next time I want to hatch a beer ill go to Redbrick. No food consumed. read more

Mega mugs of cheap beer is about the only thing Red Brick has going for it. The food here sucks and the drinks are weak. I've been drug here by friends for karaoke on Wednesday nights but it's not the kind of place I would willingly visit. It seems to be popular among the underage crowd though. read more

I come to red brick every day for brick break after a long day at the library. It's the highlight of my night, every night. By far the best bar in Athens. I consider the bartenders and bouncers my closest friends. Even though they might recognize me, they always pretend to forget my name. It's a long running joke we have in our clique. Sometimes, they bestow me the honor of cleaning the bathrooms. If i could bottle up the smell of the bathrooms and make into a candle, I would. I would burn it all day and night, I just love it so much. If you thought that Red Brick couldn't get any better, guess what. It did. Recently, they renovated the basement and turned into the Sons of Italy Lounge. Wow. It feels like being transported back to Rome in the 1700s. The plastic tables and chairs just add to the authenticity. When in Rome, am i right? Red Brick has the best selection of mixed drinks. Just take a look at the sign above the bar and pick out a fancy metropolitan cocktail. My personal favorite is the Angry Pirate. Wow. The bartenders may roll their eyes and silently curse you for not just ordering a vodka redbull like the bro next to you, but just ignore them, as the delightful creation that you will receive will make the dirty looks and sneers worth it. They should probably just rename Court st. Red Brick Road. read more
