Brickyard Pub

See Gone, But Not Forgotten

The Brickyard Pub was a bar on South Avenue. It closed sometime around 2004-2005. Although it was in a relatively obscure location (on the South Avenue Extension near Dinosaur Bar-B-Que) it tended to draw a typical college party-crowd. It was one of the few bars in town to have a large outdoor deck, popular with people who smoked after New York State banned smoking indoor smoking in restaurants and bars in 2003.
