• Favorite Dish – The Fried Green Tomato Napoleon was the creation of Chef Lee Swoope, a native Charlestonian that added several tasty and memorable dishes to the Bricks & Barrels

  

  menu. Although listed on the menu as an appetizer, it can also be enjoyed as an entrée by requesting a large steak. Guests have the option of a 4oz, 6oz or 8oz filet mignon steak to satisfy all appetites. The dish is among the most sought-after dishes in the Kanawha Valley, but it faces stiff competition from previous award-winner Deep Fried Feta from Adelphia, recently acclaimed Pepperoni Rolls from Books & Brews, and the always popular Queso Fundido con Chorizo w/ Grilled Shrimp from Mi Cocina de Amor.

• Favorite Bartender – Bartender Drew Smith is on this year’s ballot for the third year in a row after winning the 2017 event. Drew has been the head bartender for Bricks & Barrels since its grand opening nearly four years ago and, over that four-year span, has gathered a sizeable following of loyal customers. Drew is an expert in craft beer and bourbon, but he’s best known for his ability to concoct unique cocktails such as his Purple Rain and Pecan Pie Martini. To win again this year, Drew will have to defend his crown again three other crafty bartenders: Joey and Travis from SOHO’s and veteran bartender Rosebud from the Lee Street Lounge.
• Favorite Restaurant – With nominations for Favorite Dish and Favorite Bartender, it’s no surprise Bricks & Barrels is also nominated for Favorite Restaurant. Known for its pleasant, soothing ambience featuring barrel-shaped dining alcoves, Bricks & Barrels remains the only fine-dining restaurant to be nominated in the seven-year history of the Awards. But to win the award it will have to topple previous award winners Adelphia, Pies & Pints and Big Joe’s. Bricks & Barrels can only win by receiving your votes.

Locals as well as tourists are encouraged to cast their votes online by midnight, April 30th. The top vote getter in each category receives the final award. Persons may vote up to 10 times per day. The CVB will announce the People’s Choice winners at a ceremony May 7 during National Tourism Week.

The entire Bricks & Barrels family is happy to announce its latest dinner feature: Seafood Primavera. This tasty dish consists of mussels, clams, shrimp and mahi mahi on a bed of fettuccine with peas, asparagus, onions and tomatoes in a clam and butter sauce. The seafood dish will be the nightly dinner feature between now and August 18th, only at Bricks & Barrels in downtown Charleston, WV. It’s already receiving rave reviews from our panel of taste-testers and regular Bricks & Barrels diners. Reserve your table now to enjoy this savory dish while it lasts.

The dish pairs well with the floral notes in a glass of Nik Weis Urban Riesling. The buttery flavors of our Seafood Primavera contrast elegantly with the tart, juicy flavors of apricots, tangerines, lemon and apples present in this white wine full of pleasant aromas. The conflicting flavors exercise the pallet, ensuring each bite is as good as the last.

If’ you’d prefer a pint of WV-brewed craft beer, we’ve got you covered on that, too. Our recommendation is Stumptown Ales Multiple Hopgasms, an American-style IPA that uses its clean, supporting malt to showcase its hop character. It’s bitter, moderately strong flavor contrasts boldly with the buttery flavors of the Seafood Primavera. At 8% alcohol, it also packs quite the punch.

This dish is a collaboration between Executive Chef Al Day and another chef in the Bricks & Barrels kitchen, Will Davis. With nearly ten years of professional food-preparation experience at other fine-dining restaurants, Mr. Davis is a promising new addition to the Bricks & Barrels family. We look forward to trying the next dish created by Chef Al and his exemplary culinary team. But we’re going to enjoy this one first!
