They brought Tamissa Matthewson in as the assistant
manager, who works the front bar pouring beer on tap and
greeting folks at the door. “She is so much more than a
pretty face. She is our rock. ” Michael England is the head
mixologist and is like a “Mad Scientist” when it comes to
mixing cocktails. Both have been on board since day one
and have been a huge asset to the growth of Brick City.
Darrick McLean, head of security, has also been a great
addition to the family. On any given night you may see him
at the door checking id’s, on the dance floor teaching the
latest line dance, or on stage singing with a band. “He’s our
multi-talented dancing bear.” They also have other staff
members on rotation that bring great things to the mix.
“We have been blessed with a great team and look forward
to adding to it in the future.”
Goal oriented and driven, Scott and Karie knew bringing in

Currently on Thursday nights they have Trivia and Karaoke
from 7 to 12. Friday nights they have TJ Johnson on the

talent. Weekend hours are from 8pm-2am. They also have
Sunday Ticket for the big games on Sunday from 12-8.
Their future plans for spring include being open Wednesday
- Saturday, opening at 5pm to attract a much earlier crowd
and offering wine as well.
Always looking for ways to improve their customer’s
experience, Scott and Karie are often seen at Brick City in
off hours remodeling, repainting, and generally improving
the overall look of the building. Since they took ownership
of the business they have remolded the inside by adding
the new front beer bar, adding a new bar top to the main
bar, TV’s, and added seating areas to create a comfortable
atmosphere. The entire inside has a fresh coat of paint,
including the ceiling. They have put their own personality
and character into the look and feel of the bar, and it shows.
“We have made some lasting relationships over the years,
and we have a very supportive group of people who we are
fortunate to call friends.” We wouldn’t be where we are
