Golf-Themed Bar and Grill Opens in Saratoga

SARATOGA SPRINGS — The former Brick At 2 West location on the west side of Saratoga has reopened as The Divot, a golf-themed bar and grill run by the previous owners’ daughter.

Erika Schreifels and a silent partner/golf enthusiast rebranded the eatery with the aim of both appealing to sports fans and making their mark (or “divot”) on the Spa City.

“It’s definitely not just like The Bunker,” Schreifels told Saratoga TODAY, referring to the popular spot downtown that has seven golf simulator bays. “It’s more of a family restaurant. We like to do events and catering.”

The Divot’s menu is expansive, offering everything from chicken wings to pizzas and burgers, hot dogs, sandwiches, tacos, and salads. It also serves brunch every day, from 9 a.m. until 2 p.m.

One special menu item is The Glizzy, which The Divot describes as a four-ounce Duroc and Wagyu hot dog stuffed with cheese, wrapped in cocoa rubbed bacon, topped with warm beer cheese, and finished with a “bright snap” of spicy pickles. The Glizzy’s ingredients are something of a nod to horse racing. The Duroc pig is said to be named after a racehorse called Duroc (who was, in turn, named after Géraud Duroc, a close friend of Napoleon Bonaparte).

Schreifels, who previously served as the general manager of Brick At 2 West for 15 years, also said that a putting green simulator was due to arrive at The Divot around mid-February.

The Divot is open Monday through Sunday. The kitchen is open from 9 a.m. until 10 p.m. and the bar serves drinks from 9 a.m. until 11 p.m.
