A.July 9, 2015Beautiful interior, stupid amount of tasty beers on tap and the most tender, delicious brisket I've had served by the half pound. Impossible to go wrong here.
Youngjae ParkMay 20, 2014even Monday night is packed here. I loved beef brisket and pork sausage. Beer is awesome as usual and desserts are delicious too!
Mario EstradaMay 10, 2014Incredible BBQ (that's expected), brilliant beer (they're a brewery) but there cocktail mixologist are brilliant (unexpected). Packed but awesome!
You could try a new beer every time at this place and never be disappointed! Make sure you get here early enough that they're not out of the mac and cheese
If you like paying $13 for one rib, this is the place for you. Make sure to get a bunch of the corn and try to ask for more of that amazing cayenne butter sauce on the side.
Anton ShusterOctober 22, 2014This is a solid BBQ while many in this city disappoint. Try the beef ribs and the hot links. For something less conventional, try the smoked duck breast; warning: it's served cold.
Tasting TableOctober 15, 2014Sip whiskey at Smokestack, a new bar from the Magnolia team. Expect potent, dangerously drinkable cocktails and a whiskey list to do a Kentucky granddad proud. Read more
Barbecue overdose with good beer selection at cool decorated place with a nice and chilled atmosphere.
David CovellSeptember 12, 2014Come hungry for some of the best BBQ in the city. At least have hot links and ribs.
Dana HenricksonJanuary 9, 2015Brisket, chicken & dirty rice are excellent. A hipster "Medieval Times" sans jousting, well, except for the singles!
Get all of the things. BBQ, craft beer, wine, BBQ, cocktails, whiskey, BBQ. All of it is fantastic.
Ali AndersonNovember 30, 2014Craft beer and pulled pork. There is not much more you could ask for. Add this to your dog patch brewery tour.
Chai OdomMarch 31, 2016They have some nice brews on cask and they distill their own whiskey. There is a smokehouse on the premises, but it is slightly overpriced.
Ben RussoAugust 21, 2015You can't beat the BBQ by the pound, the drinks, or the selection of their own brews.
Carlo SilvioMay 9, 2014get a half pound of the chopped pork, the wonderful slaw, and a roll. apply kimchi BBQ sauce and enjoy!
Melissa WeissAugust 10, 2015It's a brewery, but info for their cocktails and bright, airy atmosphere.
Guy FlamentSeptember 2, 2017Original bar where they brew their own beer. Delicious smoked grilled meats.
Brian KarfunkelMay 17, 2014Wonderful beer, and flare at BBQ. The brisket is amazing. The line can be long though!
Daniele ProanoAugust 12, 2014Best new place to drink beer and eat BBQ. stand up tables in the back cellars are the place to be.
Stef KriegerOctober 9, 2014Cafeteria style BBQ and IPAs brewed in house in a cool space in the Dogpatch
Aaron BurcellMay 15, 2014Simply amazing. Eat all the things. Drink a bourbon drink. Beer yourself thrice.
Brendan LewisJune 27, 2014Keep an eye out for the roasted duck necks when they have them on the menu. Absolutely amazing.
Agatha YuNovember 11, 2014Brisket is amazing, but the ribs are forgettable. Portion isn't too generous, but flavour is great
Rachel EisenMay 4, 2015Brisket is on point - they'll usually let you request what kind of cut you like (fat, lean etc)
J.R. HubbardJune 19, 2014Great beer and great food! Must try the the namesake beer, Smokestack is amazing
Ros HodgekissNovember 10, 2014Beef brisket! If that's out, pastrami. Don't leave without trying the jerky.
Hattie StroudSeptember 15, 2014Fancy cocktails and scalable, inexpensive food options - my kind of place!
Melon LJune 21, 2015Don't come hungry. Food is good but you might have to pay with your firstborn child and an organ or two.
Paul MartinJune 23, 2014Whether you are looking for a craft beer or unusual spirit lots of choices here
Chris MasonJuly 28, 2014Bar staff spends more time shifting glassware around than actually being attentive to customers. Don't be surprised if you have to wait for service.
Stephanie ChengAugust 20, 2014The sausage and pork are where it's at. The ribs were a little fatty for my liking though.
Cora YounieOctober 3, 2014Had the chopped pork and some weather report wheat. Great combo at the end of a long day!
Elizabeth Ferrall-NungeMay 9, 2014Get the beef brisket. Chopped pork as backup. Skip the overpriced cauliflower ($9 for a few florets?!)
Corey O'NealMay 24, 2014Brisket at $30/lb? REALLY? BBQ is working class food. This place costs triple what good bbq should be.
