Alicia Saint Ives We stopped into Brick + Bramble in Edwardsville for their weekday Happy Hour (Tuesday–Friday, 2–5 PM), and it absolutely exceeded expectations.
They offer 5 small plates for $35, and it’s the perfect way to sample a little of everything. We tried the Truffle Parmesan Fries, Crispy Fried Cauliflower, Pork Potstickers, Queso & Chips, and the Crispy Brussels Sprouts—all delicious and well-seasoned. The portions were generous, and everything came out hot and fresh.
The cocktail menu is just as impressive. We loved The Bramble (vodka + blackberry + champagne magic), and I’m already planning a return trip for Tini Tuesdays, where they serve a curated martini menu all day for just $8. Don’t skip the Smoked Olive Martini—it’s bold, savory, and unlike anything I’ve had locally.
The atmosphere is elevated but still casual, with stylish decor, open space, and friendly service. It’s perfect for date night, happy hour with friends, or even solo at the bar.
