An Outdoor Haven for Canine Companions: 

While Brick and Mortar does not have specific menu items for pups, they go the extra mile to make your furry friend feel welcome with an ice-cold bowl of water. The charming outdoor seating area is perfect for guests with dogs, featuring string lights and candles on the tables to create a cozy atmosphere. It’s important to note that the ambiance is somewhat affected by the proximity to the road and the occasional noise from a nearby bar, as well as passersby walking along the sidewalk. However, this minor drawback does not overshadow the delightful dining experience offered by Brick and Mortar.
