It's all counter service, so roll up and ask for the brisket. It's cooked for 20hrs with bourbon and apple cider, as well as some secret spices, then injected with bourbon Read more

I really want this place to do well. It's nice and their sauces are great but their meats need some serious help. If your fav bbq is Delaneys/Mighty Quinns, don't come here. Will be disappointed.

The chicken wings, pig wings, and brisket are great. All the sauces have improved since opening. Beer & liquor menu are top notch. Trust your Bar Keep, as they are top notch too.

Somehow there's always room at this spacious BBQ/craft beer hall. A small arcade, boardgames, and lots of whiskey, what's not to love. Pro order: the Hogzilla sandwich.

Most people are probably going for the barbecue and the brown spirits, but the 42 draft lines immediately make it the best place to get beer in Bed-Stuy.
Jean McCarthyJuly 26, 2016
Board games, arcade games, photo booth, alcoholic root beer floats, friendly bartenders and I heard the food is terrific.
Robert CamposMarch 6, 2016
This place serves pretty decent bbq. It's not as crowded as Fette Sau and has more of a BBQ and Bar vibe, esp. as a music venue. The Mix Tape can honestly feed 3 people.

Don't be intimidated by the steel facade - behind it is the perfect man-date venue: heaping helpings of barbeque, sports on the big screen, and a whopping 41 craft beers on tap that rotate regularly.

The chili is basically meat...delicious, but certainly not like chili. Had the PB+ J sandwich which was wonderful. The Hillbilly truffles come as three pieces and are very rich and chocolaty.

Drink an IPA (they have so much craft beer) and eat Hillbilly Nachos (they're the ultimate gourmet stoner food fantasy) and listen to some loud rock 'n' roll.

There are 200+ whiskeys, ryes, & bourbons—from “Catdaddy corn whiskey, which tastes like bubblegum cough syrup, to James E. Pepper 1776 fifteen-year-old bourbon, reminiscent of oak & toasted caramel.” Read more

Straight in Bed-Stuy. Just a freaking hop, skip and a jump from the real hood spots. But not too crazy to discourage you hipster from posting up. Plus they sell 40oz & Genesee too. Booyah!!!

The place smells like god's vagina. The food here is seriously orgasmic. Mac n cheese side = delish. Pbr and pb+j sandwiches = delish. Even the coleslaw is delish. Too bad it's in Bed Stuy

So much space! Black Swan's Achilles Heel is now remedied. Food is great and awesome selection of beers. I wanna come watch sports here! Lets get some TVs and they are set.
Diana HongMay 18, 2014
Happy hour buy one get one free, everyday. One of the most impressive selection of beer and whiskey. The hillbilly nachos were pretty fantastic.
KimbaMarch 9, 2014
This place is decent, tried pulled pork, brisket, spare ribs, macn'cheese. But sadly, Fette Sau/Delaney's have ruined me for all other BBQ spots in the area. 2 for 1 happy hour before 8 rules though.

Closed down! Very sad, this place was one of my favorites. I saw on Google it closed, was shocked, so went to investigate — the sign was taken down, bags on the doors, and a notice. 💔
Tina GrazioseSeptember 30, 2013
great frozen whiskey sours. awesome bartenders and a sold beerost and over 200 whiskey a. going to be a staple from now on!
ryan mcmanusOctober 5, 2013
Amazing food. Even better beer selection. Will definitely make this a regular stop! Everybody should go.
Robbie SironFebruary 20, 2016
The Angry Mac is amazing. Ask for the PB&J (pork belly and jalapeño) sandwich. It's ridiculous

Great selection of beers and good food (brisket and mac & cheese stand out) but does the music have to be so darn loud?!
Julius TarngJuly 23, 2016
Bbq is whatever but super chill spot - spacious w board games and outdoor space and TV
Sara 🌈⚔🍾May 5, 2015
Awesome concept and space. Love the frozen whiskey drinks. But the food is nothing special and the service at the bar is horrible. Definitely won't go out of my way to go back.

Bartender was super sweet! Great wings & brisket. Try all the sauces & the rub whilst making the noms!
Tarah FeinbergApril 5, 2015
Some of the best BBQ I've had outside of texas. The wings, brisket, pulled pork, etc.

Brisket and pimento mac and cheese are amazing. Skip the smoked chicken wings. The mean mustard sauce is like crack in a bottle.
Nick BurtoDecember 6, 2014
Pretty empty vibe but amazing selection of beer and bourbon. Mac & cheese with BBQ sauce was delish!
John PorterSeptember 22, 2013
40 beers on tap and great BBQ. They just opened and ran out of food at 930pm but they will get the hang of it. Hire a runner for the food. People will sit and drink while they wait for the food.
Abner AcevesNovember 16, 2015
Pretty good BBQ. Big portions, lots of beers on tap. Great for big groups
Marc MayerAugust 27, 2015
It seems like a great idea to order a bourbon hurricane until you're only halfway through it and seeing double. Then it IS a great idea.
Terri RJune 4, 2016
I love the brisket, baked beans, and the hillbilly nachos. Bartenders here are great, too!
ChelseaAugust 16, 2014
Whiskey and BBQ. Ribs are to die for. Fantastic happy hour deals.
Amy TremmelMarch 18, 2015
Some of the best BBQ in NYC. Bartenders will recommend one of their 20+ beers on tap.
Dustin LeeJuly 9, 2016
Great spot as a bar with a large beer selection, but very disappointing as a BBQ place. tl;dr - come to drink, not to eat.
LukeMarch 1, 2015
The bbq is up to snuff, as are the beer and whiskey selections
Micah RichSeptember 24, 2016
Brisket, wings, and Mac n cheese 🙌
Kyle Cameron StudstillApril 1, 2015
Whiskey infusions: at the time of writing, sage, basil, mango-jalapeño, pepper-lemongrass
Russ BirdFebruary 12, 2015
Fantastic drink selection, and live bands that rock the house.

Beast of Bourbon is serving Harpoon IPA and a Pulled Pork Slider for Ales N' Apps Week (May 9-13)

Check out the pool table area upstairs with chalkboard ceiling and walls.

The wings and mac & cheese are great but I would stay away from the ribs.
Ben HuffMarch 15, 2015
Bloody Mary with a chunk oh brisket. DDDDUUUUHHHHH
