Brickyard - our story
John & Shelly Sterk purchased the property in Oberlin, Ohio in 2015 to house the existing catering business and to expand with a restaurant and bar. Sterk's Catering, Inc., our off-premises catering business, relocated from Vermilion this new location in January of '15. The restaurant opened in the spring of '15 where we feature a menu of fresh, locally sourced foods. The bar features a variety of some of Ohio's best craft beers on tap, imported and domestic bottled beers, local wines and fine spirits.
In 2017, in efforts to re-brand our restaurant, we changed the name from Sterk's of Oberlin to Brickyard Bar & Grill. As part of this re-branding, we remodeled and added a new bar/dining space. The new bar consists of a horseshoe bar with 21 seats which over doubled our bar seating with an additional 44 seats with high tops and standard tables. Of course our bar would not be complete without an outdoor patio area! The patio opened in the spring of 2019. Our main dining room was converted to a causal dining room (side bar dining) and is open on Friday and Saturday nights from 5pm-9pm. We will continue to accept large reservations (up to 20 guests).
**As of 2020, we no longer rent our room for small, private banquets. The side bar room is open for public seating. Reservations are available (must follow all current rules, including all Covid requirements).
