About Us

Located in the historic Boardwalk Condo building

Our building has been home to a variety of different businesses over the years. The original inhabitant was the Berkey and Gay furniture company in 1892. After finally declaring bankruptcy in 1948, Berkey and Gay were forced to close down. In 1999, the owner of Pioneer Construction led a $35 million rehabilitation project of the massive former factory into "The Boardwalk Building" that exists today. Our restaurant space has previously been home to both Waterworks Restaurant & Pub and JD Reardon's.

Newly redesigned and renovated, Brickyard Tavern opened in the spring of 2019. Ever since, we have prided ourselves in our delicious food and craft cocktails. We have live music on Friday and Saturday nights. Live Jazz on the patio every Thursday 6:30-9:30. In the summer, we offer outdoor seating on our beautiful, expansive patio that is unlike anywhere else in Grand Rapids!
