As reported in the April 26 Spew, the Brickyard, formerly at Washington and 56th Street near South Tacoma Way, has relocated to Lakewood at 6008 Mt. Tacoma Drive in the same center as Goodwill.  Open daily at 11 a.m., they are serving all the basic bar and grill delights.  You may reach them at (253) 584-1775.
In the old Brickyard space, as we reported last week in the Weekly Volcano, Tacoma's own Max Messmer and Jason Matzat, both Wilson High grads, are opening The Factory in early August.  With nearly 10,000 square feet of space, the two story nightclub will boast a 75-foot bar top downstairs with a large stage for live bands and DJs, while upstairs there will be four eight-foot regulation pool tables and a second bar.  The Factory will be open seven days a week. â€"  Jason de Paul
