Public at the Brickyard

Public at the Brickyard occupies a converted 1880s brick warehouse at 150 N Mosley Street in Wichita's Old Town entertainment district, one of the most architecturally distinctive dining settings in Kansas. The original exposed brick walls, heavy timber beams, and industrial ceiling height provide a backdrop that has made the venue popular for both casual dining and private events. The menu takes a farm-to-table approach to American pub cuisine, with wood-fired flatbreads, seasonal small plates, and heartier entrees anchored by Kansas-sourced proteins. The short rib grilled cheese — braised Kansas short rib on thick-cut sourdough with aged cheddar — is among the most-ordered items and exemplifies the kitchen's approach: familiar comfort formats elevated with quality ingredients. Korean BBQ tacos represent the kitchen's willingness to draw from broader culinary traditions. The beer program is a central attraction: a rotating selection of Kansas craft taps and regional Midwest breweries cycles through seasonally, with a strong focus on small-production ales and lagers. The cocktail program matches the food in ambition, with seasonal drinks that use Kansas spirits and local produce. The restaurant stays open until midnight on Fridays and Saturdays, placing it within the active Old Town nightlife corridor. Reservations for dinner are recommended, particularly on Thursday through Saturday when the adjacent entertainment venues draw larger crowds into the district. Lunch service attracts downtown office workers during the week. Pricing is casual-mid, with flatbreads and small plates in the $12–$18 range and entrees up to $28. The venue doubles as an event space for private hire, a function that keeps it visible across Wichita's corporate and social event calendar.
