The Brickhouse - Pottstown

I was at The Brick House on 27 May 2015. As it is a Wednesday, it is $5.99 burger night. I had the New Orleans burger. It was quite tasty, but a complete mess. After a few bites, the sandwich fell apart. I ended up finishing it with a fork. Overall, not bad, but not great either. p.s. Yes, it was a bank at one time.

I have a really big problem with a place that has a dirty bathroom. To me, this is an indication of how the kitchen looks. Let's just say if I had used the bathroom before we ordered appetizers, I'm not sure if I would have wanted food. (Honestly, I'm probably being too hard on the place. I'm sure they've been there forever and don't want to invest on updating the bathroom) I thought that the beer selection was great and I love a place that serves the beer in the recommended glass. We orders appetizers and really enjoyed them. The pretzel bites were yummy and the queso dip was exactly what we were hoping for. The only thing we didn't like was the baguettes that were served with the dip. They were too toasted and a little bland. The chips were the perfect accompaniment.

I really enjoyed this old bank turned bar. The bartenders were super quick to ask my drink. The drinks were cheap, the glasses were clean, the bar food was exactly as I'd expect! We had a large rowdy group on a Tuesday and got a little out of control at times. There were no problems with our group and the bartenders knew we weren't going to be disrespectful to anything or anyone. They let us have our fun. If I'm ever back in Pottstown for a drink I'll definitely hit up the Brick House! Parking around back and the bartender remembers your credit card easily, no need to keep reminding them who the tab is under.

There should be mint chocolate chip ice cream as a dessert on the menu! The veggie burgers were better before. Jess was a fantastic waitress and you need to give her a raise and more hours! Atmosphere is great.

My friend turned 21 and at midnight we went to this Bar to celebrate for a few drinks. Mind you it 's a week night, none of us were looking to get smashed. Just a drink or two to celebrate. Bartender turns him down saying that they don 't serve fresh 21 year olds . He says he is not allowed and can get in a lot of trouble. This same bartender served my other friend who happened to be there night with me on his 21 year old just a few months ago. The same bartender gave him a free drink to celebrate. Bartender was a good guy but was stern. He told us he had to wait till they reopened. People go to the Brick House because its right in the middle of **** Pottstown. It 's an old converted bank. It has potential to be a great spot but with the **** people, loud terrible music, bad food/service I 'm surprised people still go there. Probably because it 's the only option. Just look at the reviews, Stevie Wonder can see the trend. So to close I make a suggestion. If you would really want to celebrate your bday for you or for a friend at the Brick House you will have to wait until 11AM on day of your actual bday to have a drink. If also think this is dumb just plan a trip to Phoenixville, PA. It 's about 20 minutes away and you have a few different decent bars to choose from that would be happy to have your new business on a weeknight.
