Destination-worthy beer pub with standout fish and chips and cask/Belgian programs; food is generally good but can be inconsistent during busy times.
Why it gets a B+ for overall quality
Brick Store Pub earns its grade through exceptional beer expertise and strong service attentiveness, paired with reliable pub fare that shines on signature dishes like fish and chips and mussels. Food consistency dips during peak rushes, preventing a higher grade, though the beloved Decatur Square location, loyal following, and best-in-class Belgian and cask programs make it a competitive neighborhood destination that exceeds typical pub standards.
Restaurant Summary
Step off Decatur Square into a space that feels warm and bustling, with dark wood, a cozy upstairs, and bartenders who speak fluent Belgian and cask. One guest summed it up: "Beer list is unreal and service keeps things humming." Expect lively pub energy more than hushed dining. The kitchen cooks classic pub fare with care—fish and chips, mussels, pot pie, charcuterie—plus pierogies and solid sandwiches. Most nights the food hits the mark, though busy stretches can mean a dry burger or heavy batter. If you love beer-forward pairings and a neighborhood institution vibe, this is your spot. Families do well here. Kids tend to gravitate to fries, burgers, and fish and chips; simpler salads are available too. No kids-specific menu, but the staples play friendly for younger palates, and portions are shareable.
