Brickyard Gastropub
“As far as a great place to enjoy craft beers go, as well as to enjoy a snack or a full meal, the Brickyard Gastropub can't be beat in HK.”
“The place is pretty big with a nice restaurant in the back and the front has nice lighting, tvs and beautiful exposed brick.”
“We had the build-your-own-burgers, which were very well mad, and beer selection is excellent.”

I had one of the best burgers of my life here. Really, that good.
I came in on a Tuesday afternoon, after the lunch rush and before the dinner rush. The crowd was mostly working class men very enthusiastically watching a soccer game one lots of flat screens, at least 5 or 6. The space is actually bigger than it first appears, with more seating in the back. Once the game was off some background music came on and the first song played was Johnny Cash- yes!
I ordered a medium rare burger with gruyere, mushrooms, onions, and bacon. Like a lot of people I always order a burger medium rare because I'm worried a burger ordered medium will come out medium well or worse. But this was cooked exactly as I ordered it, so you can ask for what you really want here. The meat was soooo good, the bacon was not over or under cooked, the vegetables were fresh. French fries were crispy and nicely salted.
My boy ordered the fish and chips and they were also fantastic! Crispy on the outside, flaky and tender and fresh on the inside. We also split a salad, because why not, let's get crazy? They use mesclun in a lot of their salads and I just love that! So much better than romaine and boring iceberg, I was a big fan.
They have a great beer selection, a few Belgians on there. They also do neat beer "cocktails" beyond your usual dark and stormy's.
Service was a little on the slow side because the poor bartender was also doubling as the only server, but she handled it well.
It's 2.5 for me, but just can't bring myself to round up.
Been twice now, once sitting at the bar once at a table, Both times service wasn't great. This last time our waiter was downright pretty bad. Not bad guy it seemed just not a good server. We barely saw him, things took forever and he was screwing around chatting with the bartenders and other staff. We ordered the spinach and artichoke dip, they dropped it off, no plates, no silverware, no napkins. We waited around and I saw the hostess bring plates and silverware to an empty table to set it up, I asked her if we could have those. She went and got us waters that we never got from the server (my wife wasn't drinking so she just wanted water). I wanted a 2nd beer and I eventually got it.
I ordered a burger, with goat cheese and sauteed onions. It was OK, nothing spectacular, plenty of goat cheese which is good. My wife got a chicken sandwich, somehow the waiter gave her truffle fries, she never said or ordered that. We thought the kitchen messed up so we just went with it. Well, we did get charged the $3, she ate them so we didn't argue but overall, that kinda stuff bothers me. She didn't like her sandwich at all, she said the chicken was dry and overcooked, she didn't finish it.
Again, my burger was meh, the spinach dip was also meh, definitely not enough pita with it. They do have some good beers on tap and bottles and the hostess was nice. Overall though, meh, I've definitely experienced better and I wouldn't come back.
Great experience this evening at this restaurant with my mother and mother-in-law (who are friends). Both are VERY picky eaters and don't like drinking that much (I know, right?!). I had to pick a place that would meet their needs but not bore me. Brickyard really came through!
What made this experience so special was the attentive, polite service. Really excellent job, here. The waiter and bus persons were attentive with water refills, cleaning the table etc. My mom didn't like her tea (no judgements, please!) and the waiter took it away without any comment or awkwardness. My mother-in-law and I each had a burger and my ma had fish. All of us really enjoyed our food.
Burgers start at $13 ang that include fries or a salad. Cheese, bacon, avocado, specialty sauces etc run you $0.50-$2 each. There are a robust variety of cheeses and toppings. All of which were great. The salad was not overly dressed with a house vinaigrette. I ate every bite.
They had $5 beer and wine for Happy Hour 5-8 but that's only at the bar, not tables. Know before you go.
Five stars for a delicious meal and really great service that made us very comfortable and excited to return.
Great little gastropub in Hell's Kitchen. Stopped by last night to grab a bite and catch some football and basketball games with my cousin. We took a seat at the bar since we could order food there and get a great view of the TV screens. Our bartender/server was very friendly, outgoing, and funny. Being that it was around 8pm on a Sunday evening, it was not very busy and he was very present whenever we needed anything at all.
We each ordered a burger and mine was delicious. Burger was cooked a perfect medium and was tasty. Onion rings were aplenty and perfectly crispy.
It's a pub so take a look at their drink menu to see if they have what tickles your fancy but that menu is not short on options.
Parking, as in many other parts of Manhattan, isn't the easiest to find on nearby streets. We expected that and were prepared to park in a garage about a block away, which we did. If you need to do that, I recommend looking for deals on a parking app such as SpotHero, ParkWhiz, or something similar. That way, you can look for deals and even pay for parking before showing up. Plus, that was you can also lock in a price and prepay in the app so your exit can be expedited.
I came here on a Saturday night, it wasn't overly crowded and I had a seat at the bar.
It is a little hard to find if you're not familiar with the area, the sign is partially covered by someone else's.
What really stood out to me was the service the bartender provided. After going to the bathroom I requested a new glass of water because I really didn't feel comfortable leaving my water unattended at a bar. He understood completely without me explaining why I would like a different glass. Can never be too careful with open glasses these days. That to me speaks volumes for the integrity and thoughtfulness within the establishment. Thank you Mark(?) for assisting me with my hesitation. More people need to show responsibility for their peers in the world, especially females.
I will be going back to this place.
Sports Bar / Restaurant with Great food and Service
This sports bar & restaurant is a perfect spot to watch the game with tv all around as you walk in by the bar area and all seated tables in the back to still get great american fare without the being in the bar atmosphere.
We were able to get a table right by the bar and were watching some playoff hockey (Go Islanders!) and order drinks and the waiter got them to us really quickly. I got some moscow mules which were delicious. For food we got frickles – fried pickles, glazed buffalo and honey bbq wings, chipotle pulled pork sliders, and lamb chili smothered tots. All of which was delicious and perfect pub food to have while watching a game. The lamb as a meat topping was something different and that i do not see at a typical pub and they make their food taste awesome.
In short they have great drinks, food, and service!
Great solid rustic-meets-trendy place with a long list of beers, cocktails, whiskey, wine, build-your-own burgers, foodie-friendly dinner entrees (steak/salmon/brick chicken), and upgraded standard pub fares. They also have a gluten-free menu for beers and burgers/desserts/entrees. I booked this place for our bi-monthly get together with a bunch of patent attorneys (#geeklife) and everyone agreed that this place is AWESOME.
FOOD:
-Build-your-own-burger: grassfed beef/bison/veggie patty, bun/gluten free bun/lettuce, sauces, toppings, cheeses. I got an amazing bison burger on lettuce with BBQ sauce and cheddar cheese. 5/5.
-The sweet potato fries were great. They weren't overly greasy like fries can get at some places but were still crispy. Any wannabe cook worth her salt knows that sweet potatoes fries are much harder to get right than regular potato fries due to the sweet potato's higher moisture content. Speaking of salt, the fries could use a bit more seasoning (paprika and a dash of cinnamon?) or perhaps paired with a sriacha-ketchup or BBQ-ketchup. I dipped the fries in the BBQ sauce that came with the burger and it was perfect. 4.5/5.
-Brick Chicken: I didn't try this but both of my fellow diners got the entree and raved about it! It's a whole (half?) a chicken that is flattened (hence "brick") and breaded. The chicken is plated atop bacon mashed potatoes and sugar snap peas in a presentation that is worthy of a much more formal restaurant setting.
DRINKS: This place not only has a mile-long list of brews, but also cites the exact number of miles the beer took to get to restaurant, just in case you're a secret hippie under that 9-to-5 suit who cares about farm(brewery?)-to-table.
ATMOSPHERE: The pub was filled with a mix of young and middle-aged professionals. The music was mostly pop-indie (e.g., Death Cab for Cutie, Muse, etc.) and pop. Good vibes and packed with people but not overly so to where I am claustrophobic. The decor was hipster-sleek, if that is ever a thing.
VERDICT: Worth it, and I might be recommending this joint to my coworkers since we're always looking for a new afterwork hangout spot.
Went here with some friends to grab a bite to eat for brunch on a Saturday afternoon. It was around 1pm so it wasn't too crowded and we were able to be seated right away.
After perusing the menu, I decided to go with the make your own burger, since I was feeling a little more like lunch. On my burger I got beef, lettuce, pickles, avocado, and chipotle ketchup–and a side of truffle fries.
The burger was well-seasoned and cooked perfectly. It was so tender and juicy that it was almost falling apart when I ate it. I would have loved the bun to be a little more toasted, but other than that, it was excellent.
The fries were also very good. I don't know if I would consider them to be truffle fries as much a garlic and parmesan fries, but they were delicious and crispy nonetheless.
Overall, I was not expecting much from this place and was pleasantly surprised. The wait staff was not always the most attentive, but was friendly enough. Not a bad place to catch a game as well.
