The editorial take
Brick House Restaurant & Bar runs a straightforward beverage program with three clear lanes: five named cocktails, a two-tier wine list, and a beer selection split between bottles, drafts, and seltzers. The cocktail list spans vodka, gin, tequila, and espresso vodka bases at $7–$11. Wine moves from $6 house pours to reserve bottles like Santa Margherita Pinot Grigio and Sonoma-Cutrer Chardonnay. Beer covers familiar bottles and a small draft lineup.
- What should I order?
- Start with the Cherry Bomb, a tequila drink with triple sec, honey-ginger, and lemon at $8. For wine, the Erath Pinot Noir at $10 a glass or $45 a bottle is the reserve pick. Big Nose IPA on draft at $8 covers the beer side.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Anyone who wants a compact, easy-to-read drink list with recognizable labels and modest pricing. The mix of house wine, reserve bottles, and standard beer covers groups with different preferences without demanding deep exploration.
- What should I expect to spend?
- Cocktails run $7–$11. House wines are $6 a glass or $20 a bottle; reserve wines are $9–$13 a glass or $40–$60 a bottle, with Caymus Cabernet at $90. Bottled/canned beers are $7–$9, drafts $8, and seltzers $7–$9.
- What makes the beverage program distinctive?
- A two-tier wine list with five house pours and seven reserve wines gives this restaurant a broader wine range than its compact cocktail and beer sections suggest.
