Renee S. Trotman
BrickHouse Bar & Grill, Inc.

Renee a native of Hollis (Queens), New York moved to Nashville, TN in 2001 to attend Vanderbilt University. In the summer of 2005 Renee started her first job in the restaurant / nightclub industry working as a server at Level 88 Jazz Bistro. Under the leadership & knowledge of Moe she very quickly learned every aspect of running a successful and profitable bar. Within the year she served, bartended and ran the club herself. Renee always jokes that Moe taught her everything except how to cook – on the job training that no amount of college tuition could teach you.

While at Level 88 Renee, Brittany, Quadriyyah & TaNisha started Blu Diamond Entertainment, LLC. Blu Diamond went on to promote 'Eye Candy Sunday', the Crunkest Sunday party that Nashville has seen to date. This earned the young female entrepreneurs a S.E.A. nomination. They also planned such events as HangTime's 1yr anniversary party & G.L.U.W. ent.'s launch party where RIP (Cashville's Ace) filmed his first music video 'Keys to the Chevy'. Blu Diamond is known for having fresh, innovative ideas, bringing the hottest rap & hip-hop artist to the market as well as supporting up & coming local talent.

Renee helped to open Pearl Fusion Restro in May of 2008. Hiring & managing the FOH staff. There she finally learned the Back Of House operations and what it takes to cook quickly and efficiently. Renee left Pearl to become the managing partner at BrickHouse Bar located @ 701 4th Ave S. Nashville, TN. 37210. While BrickHouse is still the new kid on the block when it comes to the Nashville entertainment circuit, it will soon prove to be a force to be reckoned with as is everything else Renee has done in the market thus far. BrickHouse is currently opened Wed through Fri @ 4pm and Sat @ 10pm. In the future Renee plans on owning her own bar, starting a non-profit focusing on education and pursuing her true passions: traveling & photography.
