Where Everybody Knows Your Name
PHILIPSBURG, MONTANA

Bricks Pub wants to be known for more than its
handmade tortilla chips, locally grown beef and
homemade sangria.
"We want to be the 'Cheers' bar after 8 o'clock,"
proprietor Rick Thomas says. "People love to congregate
here to socialize and enjoy great food."
Having 12 Montana craft beers on tap – including
three from the award-winning Philipsburg Brewing
Company across the street – doesn't hurt, either.
Rick and his fiancé, Justine Barridon, searched the
country for several years in order to find the perfect place
to put his lifetime of food service experience on full display.
Since they opened their doors in October, Bricks' cooks
Whitney and Ilsa have turned out delectable culinary
masterpieces like Guinness chocolate cheesecake, walnut
pesto pasta with shrimp, and a mind-blowing array of
specialty burgers.
And if you're in the mood to shoot pool, toss darts, or
play a hand of live poker – well, Bricks has all of that, too.
Bricks Pub is open Monday through Thursday from
5 p.m. to 10 p.m., Friday from 4 p.m. to 10 p.m.,
and weekends from 11 a.m. to 10 p.m.
