Need to have more vegetarian food choices. The items I have had were very good and the drinks were excellent.

Last night was of many visits to one of Petersburg's oldest and best restaurants. We love the Brickhouse Run located on the cobblestone paved Cockade Alley in Old Town Petersburg. The first thing you see when you arrive is the bustling English style pub area that features a large assortment of craft brews and a fully stocked bar. The team at Brickhouse will make you feel welcome shortly after you arrive. There is seating in the pub area, but for a more intimate dining experience, I recommend seating in the cozy dining area just a step down from the pub. Personalized service homemade soups, delicious apps and entrees featuring fresh vegetables, are some of the things you can count on here. I highly recommend Brickhouse. You will not be disappointed! read more

The Brickhouse Run - Steak Frittes - Pubs Near Me - Petersburg, Virginia

Brickhouse Run you never disappoint me. For starters we got the Brie bacon cheesecake and it was phenomenal! The crispy bacon bits with the hot maple sauce, hell yeah! I got the rockfish on special and it was perfect, what a shocker. The fish was cooked to perfection and was flavortown if I do say so myself. My husband got the steak frites and he says it was awesome too. I know his fries were since I snagged a few. For dessert he got a chocolate mug, kinda like mousse. I got the passionfruit tart with blackberry sauce and holy crap I could eat 10. It was tart and sweet but not overly sweet and tasted very fresh. The staff is always amazing. This place really feels like home. It's cozy and comforting. A great date night spot! I love you brickhouse read more

We were looking for a place to eat that was NOT a chain establishment. Did not disappoint! Great atmosphere, excellent food, and friendly staff. Not the easiest location to find, but worth the effort. read more

Good food, nice atmosphere, great service! Petersburger was excellent! Would visit again when in the area.

I hate to say that I am on the fence about this place. It is my best friend's favorite restaurant, so I really wanted to love it, but I just don't think I do. For starters, this place is in downtown Petersburg. The gps location on google is wrong, so definitely make sure you know where you are going before you deal with all the tiny roads in this downtown section of town. Some of the roads are barely passable, and DEFINITELY set your gps to the free public parking across the street because you do NOT want to drive down the cobblestone road directly at the front door. We could barely walk on it, I definitely would not try to drive on it. But none of that is the fault of the restaurant, so no stars deducted for that. It's just an observation. We arrived about 15 minutes to their opening time, around 4:45, which is good because they only take reservations for parties of 6 or more, they only have a couple of tables, they are only open for dinner a few days a week, and they fill up FAST. We were the second group to be seated after a couple of local regulars so we got seated in the good section downstairs. It is the good section because once you are upstairs, that is where all the people waiting to be seated have to wait. And I would say that it is kind of awkward because the people waiting just sort of stare the whole time like "are they almost done? Will we get a table soon?" It is borderline uncomfortable having people watch you eat and then I felt guilty about wanting to order coffee and dessert on my once-a-year, girl's night out, Christmas meal with my friends. This place has a rotating seasonal menu, so things change a few times a year. When we went, we ordered scotch eggs, crab dip, and some sort of Brussels sprouts. The scotch eggs were okay. Very sausage heavy. I liked the dip with them a lot though. The crab dip was not a hit, it was very funky. Fishy and Parmesan heavy or something. I didn't personally enjoy it, though I did like the wonton chips it was served with. The Brussels sprouts were amazing though, and the only app I would definitely order again. For entrees, we ordered the steak frites with green beans, the beef stroganoff, and the fish and chips. The fish and chips was crispy and good, but not anything super special. It sort of just tasted like fish and chips. Good, but not something I would go out of my way for. The beef stroganoff was good, and I sort of expected it to be amazing for the price I paid, but I really think it tasted just like I make it at home. The steak was awesome though. It was so buttery and tender. It was definitely the star, and the item I would order again. For dessert, we wanted to have the specialty snickerdoodle flavored dessert (might have been a panne cotta or something like that) but they only had vanilla, so we all opted for the apple bourbon caramel bread pudding. It was amazing. We loved it, and the coffee was just standard diner coffee. I'd probably order it again if it weren't seasonal. The service is very friendly, but it is definitely not somewhere you go on a time crunch. Appetizers, entree, coffee with dessert took us 1 hour and 50 minutes, and cost $60. The aesthetic here is pretty cool if you are into vintage things. It is all dark and woody and gives off old speakeasy vibes, though you really stopped being able to admire it after the place was packed with people standing around waiting for a table. Overall, I am happy that we came here once, I just don't think I will be back, even when I have a spare $60 and two hours of time to spend. read more

Superb evening at Brickhouse Run on Sat night! From the drinks, the food and the service, everything was top notch!

Food was amazing and staff were all very friendly. A great atmosphere. Can't wait to go back!

We stopped in here for dinner during a recent trip to the area, and although it was a Saturday night, we were able to be seated pretty quickly. We had checked out another local place, but they had a 2 hour wait, so we decided to try Brickhouse Run instead. The ambiance reminded me very much of the little places I used to stop in when I lived in Europe, which is appropriate, since it is an Irish Pub. It was noisy, but not overly so, and we sat in the room with the bar. It was clear that there were several tables with people who frequent the place, and we were welcomed in as though we were part of the family. For appetizers, we chose the Mediterranean Mozzarella and the Old Town Fries! Both were excellent and plentiful, and very flavorful. For dinner, my daughter chose the Lemon Herb Brick Chicken, our friend chose the House Wedge with Salmon, and I chose the Steak Frites. All of them were cooked to perfection, and none of us had any complaints. For dessert, we chose a chocolate coffee dessert that was out of this world! We left full and happy. We were not disappointed and will definitely be back! Definitely a must try!!! read more

Relaxed environment and good food. Just what I was looking for. The fried oysters were excellent.

Their food is creative, made with fresh ingredients, and always delicious. Brickhouse can holds its own against any fancy Richmond joint. Amy the bartender makes a mean cocktail and knows the wine and beer list inside and out. The building itself is old and at least dates back to the 1800s and they gave the interior an English pub feel. It attracts many regulars and fills up fast. I come here regularly and have never had a less than stellar meal. Also, the desserts are perfection! They always have crème brûlée with changing flavors (lavender, snickerdoodle etc), bread pudding, cheesecakes, and their famous and delicious chocolate pot. YUM!!!! read more

Great atmosphere to enjoy equally great food in a historic city setting! Be sure to wander the rest of town before and after your meal!

Nice Pub environment. The service was excellent from the time we entered until we were back outside after dinner. The food was delicious, better than what I expected. My husband said it was more of an Irish feel which is always ok with us. Check this place out you will not be disappointed. read more

Brickhouse Run was a great experience. The Shepherd's pie and burgers were outstanding. Service was attentive and friendly without being intrusive. Seating at 6pm on a Friday was available with no wait. A charming place in a historical building. Nice beer selection and creative cocktails. We will be back! read more

Had heard great things about this place but could never get in. Finally got in the door and was impressed by service, menu and food. Appetizer, drinks, and entrees were not at all run of the mill. Can't wait to go back and try other options. Now I know where there was a line of people always waiting to get a seat. read more

The restaurant was on our way home in August 2025. We saw the reviews and we decided to give it a try. It was very crowded. The service was surprisingly prompt and adequate. We were in a hurry so we sat on a bench with a few other people. The food was great, especially those oysters. read more

Driving back from vacation and headed North, we spent the night in Virginia. We settled into our hotel and now we're ready for dinner. A quick Yelp search led us to The Brickhouse Run. The restaurant is fashioned after a English-style tavern. The building, established early 1800s are serving some outrageous pub eats. Wood beams, small wooden bar and a fireplace, it has all the makings of American Werewolf in Virginia. We order drinks and review the menu. Man, the English sure love their peas and they're being served with lots of entrees. My go to is Fish & Chips and The Brickhouse Run does this dish very well. Our waitress was very helpful, she recommended the fried oyster wraps to start. The oysters were very fresh and were fried to perfection. The Fish & Chips come to me. Big pieces of fish, dipped in a thick batter and fried golden brown. Did I just describe heaven? This had to be the best Fish & Chips I had in my life! Thick cut fries add to the harmonious plate. Wanna know something? I even liked the peas! Just passing thru, it was a pleasure to dine at The Brickhouse Run read more

I don't give five stars easily! It's very elevated pub food with interesting twist. The food smells as good as it looks. We had a butternut squash curry soup that was out of this world. I had a pork chop with Brussels that sprouts and parsnips that. Oh my God course I love the sides. My boyfriend really enjoyed his shepherds pie it's made with lamb. We almost didn't eat the apple cobbler because we were too busy smelling it and we think it should be a candle. Petersburg, I think you've been hiding all the good restaurants. read more

Best place in town. The shepherds pie was a standout. Just loved everything. And the staff is extraordinary. Worth stopping in town FL to NY by car on my next drive north! read more

They don't offer military discount, but the food was really good I ordered all the apps except maybe 2. Smoked salmon moose was very buttery almost like it was mixed with lard. I ordered the dessert to go and they had the same sauce on them but came with different ice creams. I ordered the duck breast for my main and the fat wasn't rendered under the duck break skin so it was chewy. Customer service was great. They also have a grapefruit beer and it's the best beer I've ever had! read more

The Brickhouse Run - Pubs Near Me - Petersburg, Virginia

I tried The Brickhouse Run for the first time last night. It was fine. I chose one of the specials, a burger with Gouda, bacon, and an onion jam. It was fine. It came with fries; those were overcooked but not inedible. Again, the meal was fine but I do expect a little more from a $17 burger. Our server was patient and polite, but it seemed like she really just wanted us to leave so she could turn the table. They were tons of people at the bar; we were not drinking. I assume she would have rather had drinking customers for the larger check. It was an OK experience altogether. I'll try it again maybe when we're looking to have a few drinks. read more

Great service, great food. Glad we went for dinner at 6 pm, plenty of seats but by the time we finished, there was a line waiting to be seated. read more

Stopped here for dinner - when you come in, there's no obvious hostess stand but we stood there looking lost and the hostess soon noticed us and told us the dining room was full but could take one of the three open tables in the bar - we grabbed one furthest from the door (it was COLD oustide!). Melissa came along and made us feel welcome and at home. We ordered drinks and perused the menu. I ordered the Butcher's Cut (14 oz Ribeye that evening) and wife had the Steak Fritte. Both were properly prepared and priced appropriately. Then, dessert. Chocolate Pot and Sticky Toffee Pudding. (I am spoiled, my wife knows the secret to Chocolate Pot De Creme, so this wasn't as good as hers). The Sticky Toffee Pudding however - it was amazing! Wife is now researching how to make it - it's what she does when we find something new and remarkable! Recommend this place, make a reservation if you can because the dining room is small but so inviting! Still, the bar offers the same menu so if that's all that works, it's well worth the trip. Ask for Melissa and tell her I sent you! read more

Per usual it's the best Amy gets the job done all the time. She gives the best reviews in her opinion. The food and drinks are always great. This establishment gives the show cheers vibes. But the staff is always so welcoming to anyone. I always feel welcome coming here read more

I enjoyed it very much. it was a little wait, but it was worth it.i would go back again and again.

This is a takeout review: I feel mixed about giving this review because the flavor was awesome. But the squash in my curry was raw. A couple smaller pieces were cooked but like 80% were undercooked to raw. And it's funny my mother got the same dish and hers was great and cooked fine. But you would have trouble putting a fork in most of my squash it was that raw. So I hope you quality check yourselves in the future because you might have been 5 stars. read more

The Brickhouse Run - An early birthday celebration! - Pubs Near Me - Petersburg, Virginia

This was a great pub experience. They have several brews to choose from. But, the food is what you come for. I met a local couple who frequent it ofte and live 45 minutes away. They have a seasonal menu that changes through the year. I just couldn't pass up the buger nite special. The burger was delicious, and the homemade pickle on the side needs to be sold in stores. This place gets busy sometimes there early. I had the pork rinds with pimento cheese dip for appetizers. They were delicious! The bread pudding was moist and thick and drizzled with raspberry coulee. Don't miss this place. It's a must try. read more

Server was not knowledgeable of menu, wrong vegetables served, food was served cold for everyone. The tuna served was cold and chewy. The beer was not very cold and the fried oysters had hard bits in them that were unidentifiable. Our company was from out of town and we really wanted to show them somewhere nice, this was not the place! read more

I ordered take out, however the service was quick and on point! They were extremely busy but the server took my order as soon as I stepped in and the food was coming out right when she quoted. It's Burger Night! beef patty topped with teriyaki glazed pork belly. American cheese, Elzi's Kim chi, spicy mayo on brioche bun .... and Scotch eggs read more

Small place that fills up but worth waiting for. Variable menu from sandwiches to gourmet meals. I opted for the lamb chops and they were presented beautifully and tasted even better.

I've been going to Brickhouse since 2011. We took a break for about 4 or 5 years for no special reason, but recently revisited TBR. The food was even better that I remembered......excellent service and the unique local vibe is what really makes this place special. read more

This restaurant has been around as long as I can remember and I've always said I would give them a try but never did for whatever reason but that all changed recently. I called to place my order and was told about a special they were having, buttermilk fried flounder, green beans and cheddar grits. It was simply amazing, all of it, the fish was fresh and flavorful, the grits were creamy and the green beans were seasoned perfectly. I also ordered a seafood dip or something like that and it was just ok. I really wanted to return the next day to get the fish again, but I believe they were closed, it was that good. I'm looking forward to returning on my next trip to try some of the other entrees on the menu. read more

Oh. Emm. Gee. This place is awesome! The service is always good and the food is even better! I ordered a pretty traditional breakfast of pancakes, home fries, corned beef hash and scrambled eggs with cheese. The waitress suggested the special cinnamon roll pancake and boy, was I glad I took her advice! It was sooooo good! We live about 40 min. away and the food and service was so great we drove back up the next weekend! The only bad thing was the "special pancakes" were not on the menu, but the regular pancakes were amazing too!! We have been back 2 more times since and have yet to be disappointed! read more
