Mortar is the white/grey material that sticks bricks together. "Bricks and mortar" (with and without the hyphens, you'll see both) is an expression which means a physical place. Often these days it is used to contrast with online (virtual) places for instance "the success of Amazon means fewer sales for bricks and mortar bookstores."
