Bricktown Brewery

I visited this brewery/restaurant with a group while in OKC on business. It is in a well-restored, old brick industrial building, just a few blocks from the baseball stadium, several hotels, and lots of cool night spots on the river. There is a large, multi-level seating area with a bar in a well-lit, vintage interior. The feel is very restaurant-like, and beer is definitely not emphasized. They had 4 or 5 of their own beers on tap, a couple of guest taps, and several dozen bottles and cans from various brewers. Overall, the beer selection was underwhelming. The Bricktown beers I sampled were decent, but not great, and there was not much originality shown in the styles they had on offer. The food and service were highlights of our visit. This is more of a destination for good food in a pleasant, upscale setting, and less of one for fine craft beer.

 

I visited Bricktown in OKC a couple months ago, mostly because it was right next to my hotel. It's a great big restaurant-brewery concept with lots of brick (no surprise there) but also a fully visible brewhouse (yay!) and plenty of TVs around for sports. Table service was brisk but friendly enough.

There were only 6 or so of their own taps on the menu, including a hazy IPA, a blueberry blonde, blood orange wheat, red rye ale, and a Kölsch. It's kind of the menu you'd expect from a chain brewery of two decades ago. I had the hazy IPA and it was okay. They do, however, have a pretty wide selection of bottles and cans from other breweries — about 35 on the menu that I could count — but otherwise their selection of their own beer was limited. As for food, I had the blue cheese burger, and that was pretty good -- so I'd say this is a better restaurant than brewery.

 

I ranked selection very low because they only had three of their own beers on tap and three were out. The three I tried were great. Server was superb as was food.

 

Lovely, quiet. I’m having an APA which is new to the menu but very good. Here on a Saturday for lunch. Plenty of people but not crowded or loud.

The food is great, however, the only beers they have on tap are their own in house brews. This isn't necessarily bad since they have a good selection of styles and they are all pretty good. Their happy hour deals are pretty decent also.

 

 

 

 

Bricktown Brewery as the name suggests is located in the Bricktown district of Oklahoma City.

Once you enter, it's a large establishment on at least two floors. Lots of tables and bar area. I didn't have any food today, but ordered a flight of most beers they had on tap. I liked the stout and the Blues Berry Ale the best. The brewpub was busy, but my bartender was friendly and helpful.

Overall, I enjoyed my visit.

Great food and a solid taster flight. Service was great for a busy pub and the waitress was very helpful. I would say that there was a share of hits and mehs on the flight but the food was great.

Lets be real hear people, if you are unlucky enough to get turned around in this flyover state, this brewery is a place to stop at.

Brewpub near our hotel, seemed like a busy place. Did a full taster flight of their house beers. Sub-standard overall. While a few were drinkable (stout, red rye), most had a lingering acidity or strong diacetyl. Service was as good as expected for a busy pub. Got chips and guac; bottom of guac container filled with lettuce, I guess to provide less guac? Will not return.

 

 

 

Really cool place we stumbled upon. Glad we did

Over 56 beers on tap and in bottle, including bombers. Wide selection including their own brewed on site. Vibe was Applebee's meets sports bar ( in fairness the place is a block from the arena ). I tried their IPA which was average. Food was only a little better, although the coleslaw with chopped peanuts was tasty.

 

This place had quite a few guest bottles/cans including: Rogue, Big Sky, Prairie Artisans, Great Divide, Black Mesa, among others. Looking back at the last 25 minutes I should have tried the Black Mesa Double ESB instead of the house beers, but one never knows.
Bricktown seems to be a cool place to sit and have a beer and eat some decent food, and their stocked with a good variety of hard liquor and guest beers so I could see myself returning here a time or 3.

 

 

 

 

Great location, plenty of room doesn't always have all of their craft brews available. Craft beers are above average. Nice place to relax before or after a Thunder game.

 

 

 

 

 

 

My family and I were in OKC for a couple of days and decided to lodge in Bricktown a coupld of blocks from the Bricktown Brewery. The menu on the website looked good so we decided to eat there. We were greeted with a warm welcome as we entered at about 8:30pm on a Wednesday night. Not many patrons, but happy hours were over and it was midweek. It's a very nice looking well kept place - rustic/grand saloon/cabin sort of vibe with the fermenters and mash tuns behind glass. Bar looked nice, but we sat at a booth which was very comfortable. There are steel stairs which climb up to the second floor where I believe they have several pool tables, but I didn't go up to look. My wife and daughter commented on the smell that smacked us in the face when we walked in. They were a little grossed out, but I knew that smell. It was fermenting(ed) grain. Not something you really want your customers to get a snout full of so I think they need to find a way to correct that. The service here was great - no problems. The food is very good. My pulled pork sandwich was fantastic. Wife's loaded burger was tasty and huge. Daughter's chicken/bacon/apple salad was delicious and huge. Fries were fresh and crisp. Now for the beer. Tap selection is pretty bare bones to honest. I was there to drink their beer. They were out of their wheat beer, so I ordered their Bricktown Brown ale which was a very good brown regardless of the average score it receives here on BA. I ordered the 46 Star Oklahoma Amber ale (formerly Copperhead Amber ale) to have with my sandwich. I was not as pleased with their amber, but it wasn't bad. I would recommend this place without hesitation. We'll be back.
