Browns Socialhouse is a premium casual dining restaurant, and the first restaurant brand that was created for the BRG portfolio. It was designed to be franchised and to work as the template for future brands. The “small footprint” business model brings efficiencies and enhancements that “big box casual” simply cannot match and, we trademarked the name “Socialhouse”. We own it. No one else can use it. Socializing is at the core of what we do. Bringing people together who formerly would have chosen between a pub, for a casual experience, or high end restaurant for a great meal. The success and acceptance of this fresh idea has translated into over 60 locations across Canada and more under development agreement. We are making a splash in the Ontario market and expect this to generate a large number of locations as the opportunity becomes a reality.
Browns Crafthouse is a casual restaurant brand that celebrates all things made with skill or by hand. Designed to take advantage of the name recognition of Browns, and the proven operating system, Browns Crafthouse offers a youthful music, décor and food program geared towards gathering after work or a sporting event. The brand provides an energetic community destination for all consumers who value quality house-made food served in a fun and unpretentious environment. All of this makes the brand a perfect fit for communities with young professionals or post-secondary institutions. Browns Crafthouse offers a fun and contemporary cocktail program alongside local brews so that guests can enjoy what is on trend and local in the area. Each restaurant focuses on its local geography or market area for inspiration and a selection of optional offerings. By taking local market needs and trends into consideration in planning each individualized restaurant’s menu we can increase the opportunity to tap into local consumer loyalty and engagement.
Liberty Kitchen is a premium casual style restaurant that features globally inspired favorites with a focus on Mediterranean cuisines and warm climate culinary traditions. The thoughtful design, curated beverage program and wholesome food all come together to offer a local escape from the grind of everyday life. Built on the same operating “chassis” as our Socialhouse brand, Liberty Kitchen is purpose built to offer communities a new occasion to dine out. Timeless techniques and fresh ingredients prepared in-house in an open kitchen is our culinary edict for this brand. Hand-stretched pizzas, modern takes on traditional pasta's, and using fresh ingredients are at the core of the food offerings. After years of research and testing, we’ve chosen a top-of-the-line hearth stone deck oven, ensuring each pizza achieves the perfect balance of flavour, texture, and finish. The concept provides an on-trend, high quality food and beverage experience in a design that could be described as being “alive, modern and inviting”.
Scotty Browns is our upscale casual brand, tweaked for the U.S. market. We offer the same “Socialhouse” principals and support, combined as a franchise package designed to work in the American market. We use slightly different food ingredients, beer and wine offerings and other products, according to local availability, but we are after the same high quality and great end result. The service model is the same. Currently, there are two Scotty Browns restaurants, all situated in the State of Washington, with an expansion into Hawaii coming in 2025.
