Bad business decision. This visit tonight was not our first visit we are there several times a month but tonight was the first time we had to pay for extra for dinning. And to be frank, Frank not sure the Brick House will be our first choice going forward. People reading this you won't be disappointed with the quality of this restaurant my issue is the sudden charge for credit. Now before you get over excited there are several restaurants in the area that do not charge for credit.

Ambiance was dark- like a bar-type of atmosphere- which didn't matter because it was an overcast day in Ohio. It was also more of a sports var as there were lots of TV screens. I ordered a chicken caprese sandwich after being assured by my server that it was one of her favorites. It came with delicious French Fries. The sandwich was good but not amazing. For my taste, the chicken was a bit overcooked, but better than undercooked. The fries were delicious, even though I only ate a few. Before I went to college, I worked in a nice seafood restaurant and our nightly task was to make sure ketchup containers were full. Therefore, I noticed that my container of ketchup was down to the last few squirts. Never a good thing/sound! Overall, not a bad place to eat, but nothing worth going out of your way to try, imo. I see that others gave it better reviews, so this is my experience, Pictures below...

TL;DR Excellent neighborhood bar with better than average food…read more This place is comfortable and friendly, but this is definitely a working man's neighborhood bar...just a little rough around the edges. The decor is all over the place! FOOD: I was impressed by the menu. I have never seen Flaming Saganaki on the menu at a neighborhood bar before! GTSB&G has a bit of a Greek flavor. On the menu, you'll find Greek chicken parm, a legit Greek salad, gyro, and chicken gyro, and Saganaki! I did not ask to see if they have OUZO! I didn't have any of the Greek food, but I will say that the GT burger (hold the bacon, add some mayo) was fantastic. 1/2 pound of tasty beef cooked to a perfect medium well. The toppings were fresh and high-quality. Even the French fries, although a little soggy, were delicious. I didn't drink, but it seems as though there is a pretty average selection of draft beer, maybe above average for the type of bar that this is. SERVICE: The service was pretty good. My food came out pretty quickly and the bar maid was very friendly. As the place started to fill up more, I noticed that she was doing a good job at keeping up with all the orders. So far, so good. 4 stars for now. I will be back to try some the other food. If it compares favorably to the burger, good times we will get another star!

The bar is very nice, big bar. we like to sit at the bar when we try a place. Great place to watch sports. Big cheap beers, hand cut fries are awesome. I am telling you though these burgers are worth driving for. We got both burgers on Texas Toast. Absolutely delicious and the price was right $12 burgers with hand cut fries. I highly Highly recommend this place. I don't think you'll find a better burger and if you do please let me know where. My new favorite place even if I have to drive 20 minutes to get it.

But in all seriousness, this place had a very large menu with many different options to choose from, which I always love. I ordered the "club classic "with french fries and a side of the smoked Gouda mac & cheese. As you can see in the photo of the sandwich is a serious sandwich that was very large and I could only eat half of it. The ingredients were fresh and I loved how toasted the bread was. The mac & cheese was also quite yummy. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area.

Melissa is an absolute rockstar of a manager. She keeps everything running smoothly while still making the place feel fun and welcoming. She also makes the best cocktails and shots every single time.

No gimmicks, just solid bar food that hits the spot. The whole vibe feels like a party from the early 2000s in your best friend's garage or barn good drinks, good people, and fun virtual games. It's way more relaxed and fun than a boring bowling alley. This is a true down to earth hangout where you can actually enjoy yourself without all the chaos or pretense.

The bar area was really cool with a large garage door to open in the warner months, 3 different slushy machines (non-alcohol option as well), a claw machine and cold beer on tap. Great spot for a bar and fun activities to do inside.

I got on the internet to check out the reviews about the Bronze Boar because last night we had a horrible experience there! I was with my parents and my brother and sister and we had stopped in because we had gone to the mud hens stadium for putt putt. Well we were having a great time, live band, and been there for a couple hours just enjoying the atmosphere and music, until the "locals" or regulars as I call them came in and they basically tried to run us out of the bar. They were giving dirty looks, flipping us off and came up to us and started a fight with us and assaulted us. We were jumped by their entire group, even the bartender who said she was the manager, skinny chick with long dark hair, was taking shots all night and jumped in the fight too! We could not believe the way we were treated! They pushed us out and tried to lock the door with our purses and belongings still inside, yet the "regulars" who claimed they actually owned he bar, and later we discovered are full of crap, were not mad to leave, when they assaulted us first! I have cancer, so I've lost all my hair and it has started growing back, but is very short. I was called horrible names that I'm not going to repeat.Horrible horrible bar! Do NOT go here if you are not a "local" (like another patron put it and had a similar experience just a couple days before ours and posted a review here) or "regular"unless you want to be assaulted, disrespected and treated like shit! I will be contacting the owner to let him know that his bar is being run by a bunch of idiots and it won't be long before he loses his liquor license! read more

if you like to be physically attacked for using the bathroom with someone else to hold your stuff, this place is perfect for you!!! they're VERY aggressive and the little beer wench is on a power trip just because she's a bartender, so if you want to be verbally and physically assaulted by the staff here, definitely make a trip!! this place is awful and so is the short brown haired girl who put her hands on me. she's lucky i didn't want to go to jail on my sisters birthday. her name is Salina Martinez and she also does teeth whitening so steer clear. she is god awful and will try to fight you for going to the bathroom when the security guard said she wasn't even working last night. read more

Hold on to your beer with 2 hands when in this bar! The "general manager" Ricky will come around at the end of the night slapping full beers out of your hands. She had no respect when talking to me or my friends. She could have been on her period or may have just been a total bitch who knows.

The bartender stood out because he actually asked what kind of tequila I wanted and listed the options they had, which isn't something you see very often. Usually you just get asked "top shelf or well," so that extra effort was appreciated. The food is typical bar food, but the animal-style fries were a standout. Honestly, they were better than In-N-Out's (at least in my opinion -- and I've only been lucky enough to have In-N-Out once). We didn't go during an event, but the layout definitely makes it seem like they regularly have live music and other entertainment.
