What a great experience! My wife and I visited on a Sunday night and there were a lot of places…read moreclosed on Sunday nights so I was happy to find the Bricksworth. They were open until 11 and had a great beer selection with an inside/outside option. My wife wanted to watch some of the Stanley Cup so we opted for inside. We arrived around 830 and were able to gain a seat at the bar. Bartender was amazing. Very friendly and personable. Based on his interactions we decided to get chicken tenders (Nashville) and fries and a few more beers. Overall this is a great, inviting environment. I can't recommend visiting here enough. Great food and great beer options. This is a stop you don't want to miss! Definitely worth 5 stars.

Bricksworth is consistently the place I recommend people that are in the north loop to go if…read morethey're craving food, or want a really good beer and a great time. Seriously, I've probably had everything on the menu and have never been disappointed. They have an extensive collection of beers that will please anybody, with some of the best Hazys and best Sours in town, and also cocktails that work for folks that don't want a beer. The patio is superb, and although you sometimes share it with a passing train, it's tucked away and is a nice separation from the business of the surrounding north loop. I'd argue the wings are easily top 3 in the whole state, they're always crispy, and the monthly specials are clearly thought over and iterated on by talented chefs that want to try new and unique things. The pizza is also probably the best Detroit style in the city, try the Elote and you'll see what I mean. Staff is a hoot, they're all super nice, great to talk to, and have honest opinions about their own menu. Seriously, if you're anywhere near the downtown area, go here.

I'm so glad we were in the area to try this gem of a BBQ joint! When I mentioned to a friend I was…read moregoing to visit the bookstore across the street, they immediately recommended grabbing lunch at Northbound. I loved the cheese curds, mac and cheese and the hushpuppies were also standouts. I opted for the brisket bowl, which I enjoyed...the pickles were also delicious. All my friends opted for the pulled chicken sandwich, and they all said it was good. Quick service and great outdoor patio for a nice day!

I wanted to like this place. Their ambiance was very cute, especially their patio. Their menu has…read morelots that I love (big BBQ fan) and prices were very reasonable for BBQ especially noting how generous the portions were. However, we waited about an hour for our food and the appetizers we ordered came out at the same time as the food. No apologies for the delays. All of this could have been tolerated had the food been stellar, but unfortunately it was below average. The brisket and chicken were dry. The BBQ sauce was vinegar based (which many like but I don't) and there weren't KC sweet style alternatives offerred. The ribs were good but not great. The porketta was phenomenal as were the fries.

We were here for a few hours playing board games and trying a few of their brews. They were all pretty good tasting! The price is about what expect at a brewery, but the quality was worth it.

Generally the space is industrial and has plenty of tables and a beer garden out back.

Cheers

I know Wild Minds Ales is closing so this is kind of a moot point of a review, but I didn't get the…read morehype of Wild Minds Ales. Parking was terrible - it's all street parking about a block away. The "dog" area leading into the brewery hadn't been clean in a long time. Leaving a very gross smell as your first impression. We sat inside with the garage doors wide open. It was nice, but the sun was blinding. More sun coverage or lowering the doors would have been nice. There was only two non alcoholic options on the menu, a THC drink or coca cola. I ended up ordering a sour and boy was it sour. I didn't end up eating at the food truck, but it seemed to be a different one than what was listed on the website. I feel bad they are closing. I never want to see a small business go under, but this was a lackluster experience for me.

Their happy hour prices are perfect, portion size is just what I am looking for, service is quick, friendly, there's lots of seating, and mostly importantly, the food is delicious!! Today I just got a HH slider ($5) and fries ($4) and it was delightful. The pulled pork is super well marinated, has just enough coleslaw on top to not overpower the meat, and the crispy fried onions add a nice crunch. Equally I was shocked by how much I liked the fries- shoestring with a perfect amount of salt and crunch to my likeness!! I'm sure the full size portions are good as well, but the happy hour prices can't be beat.

The brisket burger was the better of the two. However, I asked for my fries without salt, and the kitchen ignored my server's request. I blew up like a Blowfish from all that sodium. While our bartender/server was very accommodating and friendly, the kitchen staff were surly and obviously unhappy about something. It was a conflictive experience, staff-wise, and the food was good, but not quite very good.

It has the perfect balance of sweet and spicy, and both my friends and I absolutely loved it. The beer is great too, with plenty of options to choose from. One thing to know before you go: the upstairs pizza area and the downstairs restaurant are separate, so they have different service. If you're looking for full table service and a larger food menu, you can head downstairs. Either way, it's a fun place with great food and beer, and I'd definitely recommend checking it out.

It's the perfect kind of elevated comfort food to pair with a pint. The vibes here are always good. It has that classic, energetic North Loop feel that works for a casual hangout or a pre-game spot. Even with a decent crowd, the service was very friendly and efficient, which really adds to the experience.
