Whether you're winding down after a concert at the nearby Civic Center or enjoying a relaxed weekend evening, Blue Bricks offers an energetic yet welcoming vibe that encourages lingering over great food and handcrafted drinks.

The menu at Blue Bricks is a well-curated celebration of classic American bar fare with creative twists and fresh flavors that delight the palate. Start your experience with irresistible starters like their Beer Battered Onion Rings, perfectly crispy Cheddar Cheese Nuggets, or the crowd-pleasing Nachos Grande loaded with your choice of chicken or beef. Food enthusiast Craig Rossow raves about the “deep-fried creamed corn” and “firm, crunchy French fries” that strike just the right balance between crispy and tender.

For those who crave hearty greens, Blue Bricks offers an impressive selection of salads that cater to all tastes — from the protein-rich Cobb Salad brimming with fresh greens, ham, turkey, cheese, and bacon, to the classic Caesar Salad with crisp romaine, parmesan, and tomato, served alongside breadsticks for an added touch of comfort. The Teriyaki Salad with Shrimp and Athena Salad options further elevate the menu’s fresh, wholesome appeal.

Blue Bricks’ house pastas are the perfect comfort food, featuring creamy, cheesy delights like Fettuccine Formaggi, a luscious blend of parmesan, mozzarella, feta, and Wisconsin cheddar cheese, garnished with olive and tomato — a true indulgence. Fans of robust flavors will appreciate the Parmigiana Di Plue with your choice of chicken, meatball or zucchini, as well as the hearty Lasagna and Fettuccine Alfredo options.

Not to be overlooked are their signature sandwiches and specials: the Reuben Sandwich carries a perfectly balanced tang and richness, while the French Dip and Fish & Chips deliver classic and satisfying taste profiles. And no visit would be complete without trying their seasonal specials like the Cinco De Mayo menu or sipping on expertly crafted Bloody Marys and Manhattans — the perfect complement to a lively, convivial evening.

Beyond the food, what truly sets Blue Bricks apart is its dynamic, welcoming atmosphere. Newcastle Music Studios highlights the bar’s “big walkway in the middle,” noting its prime location as the first stop within the Mankato Mall Bar District and its proximity to more than ten other bars, guaranteeing a vibrant night out. Taylor Moynihan’s heartfelt praise for Avyana’s margaritas, “the BEST MARGARITAS Ever,” points to the attentive, skilled bartending that elevates every drink.

Whether you're stopping by for a casual lunch with friends on a sunny Thursday or gathering for drinks before a big concert, Blue Bricks offers a perfect balance of lively energy, top-notch service, and satisfying, flavorful food.
