We hosted our welcome event for our wedding weekend at Bricksworth's private event space. It was perfect.
We originally chose Bricksworth because the staff were so friendly and welcoming when we visited to tour the space. They made us feel like they really cared about helping us run a good event. This feeling carried through our interactions during and after the event too, through their communication and their actions.
The space was perfect for our size - ~100 people, evening event, mix of standing and sitting, light bites. Their outdoor space was attractive. The vibe was casual. Their pricing (room reservation fee and their food and drink pricing for events) was reasonable. And Bricksworth is one of the few breweries that also offers wine, a full bar, and THC beverages. Their food offerings, also reasonably priced, sealed the deal.
The night of the event, we met Sam, the GM, who served as our bartender (and beyond). She was fantastic for the entire event - checking in with us, keeping the bar moving, keeping food stocked, and making sure the speaker system and mic/sound equipment worked. She coordinated among supporting staff effortlessly. The room ran like a well-oiled machine. There were no hiccups or awkward moments.
We offered our guests buffet-style "light bites" from their catering menu. Our guests raved about the food. It was delicious and would've been an excellent complete meal. The meatballs especially got rave reviews; the salads were bright and tangy; the sliders were excellent. Bricksworth helped ensure we ordered exactly the right amount of food; they made us feel comfortable with our budget and our food quantity in advance; and they offered night-of additions from the restaurant as a backup plan.
The seating options served our group well - with the right balance of lounge seating, table seating, and standing room to keep the flow and spacing optimal.
Our three-hour event on a Friday night in mid-May at Bricksworth was the perfect way to kick off our wedding weekend. Bricksworth is a great community with friendly staff who seem to truly care. We strongly recommend Bricksworth for similar casual private events. (And of course their restaurant, pizzas, and beer are...
Read moreAte at this location several times before, I have always liked the food and even introduced several of my friends here, but the last time I ate here I got bad food poisoning. I called to ask to ask if I could get a refund (I only spent around $32), but they refused and were even rude and brusque about it.They acted like food poisoning happens only days or many hours after eating when it can occur within a couple of hours of eating (their BS excuse of denying me a refund). I completely threw up everything I ate and was throwing up every half hour afterwards until 3am into the morning even on a empty stomach, I couldn't' even hold down water. I won't be coming back or telling anybody else about this place. If you get food poisoning here, don't expect any sympathy or compensation.
Edit: So I did see the owner's reply and I called again and got a different manager this time (her name was Sam) and she was far more gracious and accommodating than the other manager and did help me get a refund. I am thankful for the owner for rectifying this issue so quickly and this was the response I expected the first time I called. Now that we got that out of the way, aside from the original manager, I always liked the service staff and the pizza and wings with unique flavors is something I would recommend, which is why I brought my friends there in the...
Read moreTruly loved the drinks, I had the 16oz Topanga tap beer and it was by far one of the smoothest beers I’ve had. I really enjoyed it and the price point was solid as well, I tried my friends drink, she ordered the space cadet and it was citrusy with a hit of boozy tequila for sure! We got their about and hour before they closed (maybe that was our mistake) but we ordered the Parmesan fries and they definitely felt soggy and not crispy at all and they are literally not salted apart from the Parmesan dusting. Which kind of sucked. They truffle aioli tasted more like a ranch to the both of us (it was good but it was more runny as opposed to creamy) and as soon as we ordered with the bartender it was less than 2 minutes they had the fries ready which I wonder if that added to the reason they lacked crispiness. I think the portion was perfect for the both of to share we even had some left that we weren’t able to finish. I loved the outdoor patio, it’s such a hidden gem that could be easily missed. I hope to try their food sometime soon, their taki & cool ranch dorito wings/tenders definitely caught my attention! Hope to also try their Naz Reid Hazy IPA tap beer. Will hopefully be back again sometime...
