The Brickyard Downtown

Amazing place!!! I brought my hubby here for Father’s Day and we had the best time! The staff was amazing, the food was Delish and the drinks were phenomenal! I highly recommend the house made Churros and the Tropic Thunder drink! We plan to become regulars here!

Wow.
Ended up in downtown Chandler for solo dinner on a Tuesday night, and this place called to me. I am so glad it did!
First off, these people love cocktails. I mean, REALLY love them. There is a ridiculous collection of bitters, and all the top shelf liquors a functioning alcoholic could want. I decided to go with a Pimm’s Cup, because it’s been approximately HOLY HELL degrees every day this week, and Pimm’s is a solid choice when it’s hot outside. Good move on my part — it was light, refreshing, and perfect for an evening in the triple digits.
Then the food — ahhh, the food. I had a hard time deciding because everything looked so good, but I finally settled on the fried calamari (I can’t resist some battered squid, y’all) and an endive & pear salad, as a nod to the healthier side of things. But not too healthy — that salad also had candied walnuts and blue cheese. It was quite tasty, overall, but I have to say my heart was stolen by that fabulous calamari. The batter had Sriracha in it, and it was served tossed with big leafy herbs and small field lettuce leaves. And the best part was the roasted half a lemon, which you squeeze over the whole thing. It gives a light acidity that just makes the whole thing pop. Seriously, eat this. If you can handle a little heat (Sriracha!) you owe it to yourself to try the calamari here.

Pork belly skewers were awesome. The french 75 cocktail was great. The old fashion was too sugary for my taste, it cut the bite of the bourbon too much.
They didn’t mess up my martini, I am always blown away by how many bartenders cant make a good gin martini. I would have liked it in a martini glass though, just me being picky.
We will definately be back, though not as much as I would like because it is a bit pricey.

Thoroughly impressed. We love inventive cooking and this place is doing it very well. The shrimp was cooked perfectly. The dishes were beautiful and tasty. The drinks were great and unique. One of our new favorites! Walked right in on a Friday night. I’m sure that won’t last for long as people discover this place.

Small plates — yummy food. Best cocktails I’ve had in a while. Super fresh, not syrupy. Service was on point. Will definitely be going back.

I almost gave four stars because of the high prices but everything was truly worth the price. Defiantly or a place I could afford to go often but a treat for sure. Their bar staff is knowledgable, helpful, and made the best craft cocktails my boyfriend and I had ever tasted. The pork belly skewers were like heaven in your mouth. Not disappointed by one thing. All in all a little pricey for a quick lunch but actually worth it for the quality of food, drink, and service.

The best place in the east valley for high end cocktails my bartender Bobby blow me way with his drink menu
I’ll definitely be going here is n a regular basis. Henry the other bartender made me the best old fashion I’ve ever had. Don’t hesitate to ask for recommendations these guys truly know their stuff!

This is just the perfect place you can found for the perfect cocktails and some great starters in Chandler! I went there couple times and tried a lot of different cocktails, starters and dessert. And not disappointed! The service is always friendly but very professional! I already recommended this place to all my friends!

Great hangout for excellent drinks and food happy hour food. The bartenders are mixologists and really know their stuff. Luv that. I tried an old fashioned for the first time and it was excellent! Food was delish. We sat at the bar and it washing a great atmosphere and experience.

A smaller cocketail bar, I prefer it that way. Wish they had more staff though, sometimes I wait for a while to get my order in. Still, what staff they do have is very friendly. I definitely don’t mind coming here for a quick, chill drink or two.
If you’re going to buy food I suggest you just ask what their favorites are. Don’t get me wrong, the food isn’t bad but… just take their suggestions and play it safe otherwise it’s a bit of a coin toss.

This über hipster spot in downtown Chandler specializes in craft cocktails and man are they tasty. They also serve food and I was super excited by the different items on the menu. They all sounded delicious and the flavor in the dishes was fantastic. However the portions were fairly small for the price and none came with sides or anything to make it a complete meal. I guess they are intended to be small snacks to consume while drinking but I didn’t realize that going in. Everyone was real friendly and we had a fun time. Lots of suspenders and mustaches going on so if you are not into the hipster scene then it might not be for you… but the manager Gavin seemed to be pretty down to earth and nice.

I’m picky and this place just wowed me! From the moment we walked in the staff was friendly and helpful! Kane recommended Pimms Cup as a not too sweet but refreshing cocktail and it was refreshing and tasty with cucumber and fresh mint! We shared the Street Tacos, Roasted Cauliflower and under Kanes direction the Pork belly skewers! All 3 were amazing! Honestly the best food I’ve had in a long, long time! Gavin, the owner came over to our table several times to see how we were liking it. We ended with the Churro Trio for dessert and loved every bite! Great place! I can’t wait to go back for more!

Bobby gave absolutely phenomenal service to us even though we arrived 20 minutes before the kitchen shut down.
We shared the artichoke appetizer, mini burgers, skirt steak tacos, crème brûlée and chocolate cake. We ordered far more than we intended because the food was so good, but did bring some for leftovers.
!The burgers and artichoke were both good but I don’t know that we would order them again. The tacos… oh the tacos! The skirt steak was tender, moist and full of flavor. I could probably develop an addiction to these!
The crème brûlée was tasty with a citrus flavor. The dark chocolate cake with espresso and vanilla gelato was fantastic… this is coming from a girl that doesn’t like coffee at all!
We look forward to coming back to try more great food and experience excellent service, although it’ll be hard not get the tacos again.

A great new hangout for downtown Chandler. The drink menu is full of custom creations. My fave was the «Auld» fashion (limit 2) Only 4 entrees available, my party of 5 tried most of them. Each one is unique in the combination of flavors. My block cut steak was superb. My gals ahi tuna was a flavor masterpiece. Several hors d’oeuvres were ordered and enjoyed. The meat & cheese board and the fried artichokes are not to be missed. All in all, a great evening spent. Highly recommend to all foodies (& drinkers).

We ended up at The Brickyard almost by accident — and I am glad we did. We had a group of 7 guys out for a birthday on a late Sunday evening. We had chosen The Perch, but they had inexplicably stopped serving their entire menu other than their late night menu at 8:00 PM.
We walked across the dirt lot and saw the back entrance to The Brickyard and decided to give it a shot. By luck, Gavin (co-​owner) was out back and when asked if they were still serving he immediately welcomed us and got us a table set up inside. He explained the menu and concept and talked with us a little about what they were doing at the restaurant.
The menu here is focused on sharing plates — so much so that there are only four entrees listed (more on those later). I have seen this concept attempted before, but often times it falls flat due to poor attention to detail, small portions or bad selection. These guys have it absolutely NAILED. Of the three sharing plates we tried (all were great) the fried artichokes were the crown jewel.
Everyone in our party ordered either the ahi or roasted chicken entrees, except for me. I had the steak — a block cut strip loin. It was pan seared to perfection on the outside and finished in the oven — and had that perfect crystallized crust that adds texture and flavor. One of the best cooked steaks I have ever had.
The cocktail selection is creative, but still accessible with flavors that will appeal to both the craft cocktail enthusiasts and those who are newer to drinking creatively. I recommend the Tropic Thunder — which is literally served in a closed mason jar with cherry wood smoke floating atop the drink.
The building itself is very basic — the old brick walls and minimalist décor shift the focus to the food and drink presentation and ultimately the quality of the fare itself. The service staff was extremely knowledgeable and having the owner there willing to converse and talk shop and food in general made for a great experience.

We went to the Brickyard Saturday night at 7:30. Sadly to note, they don’t take reservations. It was full, we got the last 2 seats at the end of the bar in front of Bobby’s station. After Bobby introduced himself and gave us a very friendly introduction and handshake, we reviewed the drink and food menu. We loved the speakeasy crafty cocktail selection and nibbles. The atmosphere was classic, very nice, open brick, tin roof, rustic feel, very loud which was fine for us, maybe hard to hear if you were in a large group.
My dining partner ordered an Old Fashion and I tried the The French 75 after which I moved onto a Pimm’s Cup cocktail. We decided to order from the sharing plates, in between our cocktails. We ordered the Steak & Egg Carpaccio (Truffle Aioli, Quail Eggs, Crostini, Caper Berries, Micro Arugula), Stuffed Piquillo Peppers (Saffron Risotto, Chorizo, Herb Purée, Pistachios), Pork and Shrimp Gyoza’s (Fried Crisp, Sweet Chili, Pickled Radish), and the Pork Belly (Garlic Chips, Honey Soy, Ryu Powder)
The drinks were excellent, on the very pricey side for Chandler though. The sharing plates were very good, the Pork Belly could be more generous though. Other than that very good but again very pricey.
Service was excellent, though was not greeted by the manager as everyone said «they were», he was too busy talking with his familiar customers. We will definitely be back, just hope it stays in business with that price point.

Came here for happy hour the other day. Their happy hour is from 3 – 6, which I wish was extended out more since I feel like that’s a pretty short time period.
I ordered the Timothy Margarita and the pork belly skewers. The margarita was pretty strong however i felt that the skewers were a bit salty.
I think that their pricing for happy hour is a bit expensive for happy hour pricing. Drinks are around $ 7 and food for happy hour is around $ 9 – 10 a plate. They have a pretty big drink list so I would probably come back again for some drinks.

I liked the food. The octopus was great and I definitely enjoyed the pork belly skewers on the happy hour menu. They were crispy, delicious, and filling. Additionally, the cocktails are well made and satisfying. For happy hour they’re $ 7 but your bill can get out of hand even on the happy hour discount. Between the two of us on happy hour our bill was $ 80+ for a few apps, the octopus app (not on HH) and 5 drinks total. Not exactly a deal.
The trend of restaurants in Chandler occupying narrow spaces continues here as there is maybe 6 feet of walking room that quickly crowds with people and servers. There is relief if you’re sitting in the back area. If you’re at the bar or one of the adjacent tables anytime after 5pm, you’re likely to be bumped and crowded. The energy is good but the elbow room is not.
It’s a nice addition to Chandler but I can’t get excited about it as a regular spot.

GREAT find in downtown Chandler. Almost missed it as I was walking towards Vintage 95. I’m glad I didn’t! Classy bar and a definite must if you are in the area and thirsty. Here’s why:
— Throwback décor mixed with a little hipster… super cool.
— Fantastic mixologists with great service and craft cocktail skills (which also means, customer must have parience and not expect a 30 second turnaround on a drink order). Oh, must mention: they’re dressed like classic bartenders. bests, ties, well-​groomed. No sloppiness here, ladies and gents!
— Drink menu and top shelf choices were fabulous.
— Management involvement on the floor and engagement with customers and doing what you dont see many managers do nowdays… managing!
— Pricing for cocktails is very reasonable considering all the work and quality ingredients involved. Not bad at all!
At about a 4.25 star rating right now as the place is still fine tuning all the last details. We’ll be back and prety sure they will be higher on the scale if they just keep doing what they’re doing. Can’t wait to partake in more menu choices!

Nice atmosphere in the ever popular Downtown Chandler area. So many places to choose from down here.
We heard it was opening and decided to give it a go for Happy Hour.
My opinion thusfar on this place is they miscalculated their demographic and the income of the area. It is VERY EXPENSIVE.
Its the kind of place you go for $ 14 drinks. Typically for that i’d be going to N Scottsdale. This is downtown chandler. Median income is say $ 40k?
Drinks were weak and loaded with Ice. Decided not to try any of the happy hour food menus because none of them sounded appealing to us at the time. For example a bowl of Olives for $ 9.
We may try it again since we are just south of it 3 miles.
