The Good Stuff
Pool table
A pool table gives groups something to do beyond watching the match.
Quiet atmosphere
Several reviews describe the lounge as calm, peaceful and rarely crowded.
Private parking
One review reports free private parking within the hotel facilities.
Chicken strips
Chicken strips received a particularly positive mention when paired with Bud.
Tips for a Better Visit
Check screens. Before ordering, confirm the projector, sound and channel for the match you want; one cricket visit found the setup unusable.
Allow time. Build in extra time for food and drinks, as delays have been reported even when the venue was not crowded.
Check parking. Ask about parking before arriving: one review says hotel parking is free, while another calls the parking area very limited.
Check freshness. If ordering snacks, confirm they are fresh first; one visitor was served cold popcorn and could not get a fresh portion.
Choose quiet times. For a calmer drink or pool game, quieter periods may suit you better; several reviews describe the lounge as not crowded.

The Bottom Line
Bricks Sports Lounge is a hotel sports bar in International City centred on live games, big screens and drinks. You can watch football or cricket, play pool, and order standard bar food and drinks. The venue’s often-uncrowded, calm feel is a real draw for a relaxed catch-up rather than a loud night out.
There are some specific positives: one visitor enjoyed the chicken strips with Bud, while another mentioned happy hour and reasonable drink prices. Free private hotel parking was also reported, though parking has been described elsewhere as very limited, so it is worth checking before you arrive. The lounge is near Dragon Mart and inside the Ibis hotel, according to reviews.
Service is the main variable. Several customers praise friendly, professional attention, but others waited 20 minutes without being served, repeated orders several times, or waited 40 minutes for food. Food feedback is similarly mixed: chicken strips were praised, while another visit produced burned wings, poor chilli chicken and a virgin piña colada that was described as packaged pineapple juice.
If you are coming for a particular match, confirm the channel, projector and volume before ordering. Reviews include a cricket visit where the projector failed and the sound was unavailable. Cleanliness concerns, including a poorly maintained downstairs toilet and one reported cockroach, are also worth keeping in mind.
