- The Scene:
The river is the backdrop, the room is industrial like you’re on the set of a Hollywood film. And the bar is a modern version of a stylish Manhattan speakeasy from the 1920’s. Upscale, timeless, and Old Hollywood- your guests will enjoy strikingly beautiful industrial architecture mixed with a soothing patio overlooking the St. Joe River.
Our event space is unlike any other in the city. With a 5,000 square foot open floor plan The Brick offers an urban, spacious venue that can be customized to meet your needs. Simple and elegant, with brick exterior and interior, loft ceilings, exposed lighting, and dock doors opening onto the patio, you have a blank canvas to create your vision. Come visit us and you will see why The Brick has earned a glowing reputation in South Bend!- Design:
- Originally the Eckrich meat factory dating to 1935, the building has been restored to it's 1930's industrial roots with a touch of art deco flair. Our bar originated in 1920's Chicago and was formerly housed at Bridget McGuire's, a popular bar with the Notre Dame crowd. The artist-designed concrete slab counter is supported by wood beams salvaged from the original Oliver Chilled Plow Factory, as was our floating stair leading to the small mezzanine.
- Standout Venue Features:
- The Brick is owned by Notre Dame alumni Corey and Becky Cressy who wish they would have had such a venue for their wedding in 2002. Corey brought his real estate experience to the renovation process while Becky employed her architectural expertise. They combined their self-proclaimed "opposite personalities" to create a perfect dichotomy in the design of The Brick featuring a minimalist industrial aesthetic with glamorous touches of Old Hollywood.
- Extra Perks:
- Our recently renovated all-season porch adjoining the bar area includes dock doors that can be opened in warm weather, giving a great view of the river! We also have two portable flat-screen televisions and a microphone that are available at no extra cost.
