    Beautiful 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.

    The bar boasts an impressive 20 beers on tap with about 15 of those in-house brews at any given time. Plus, it's cool inside, with an aged industrial design that fits well in the neighborhood. Read more

    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.

    This 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.

    Sip 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

    Brisket, chicken & dirty rice are excellent. A hipster "Medieval Times" sans jousting, well, except for the singles!

    Craft beer and pulled pork. There is not much more you could ask for. Add this to your dog patch brewery tour.

    They have some nice brews on cask and they distill their own whiskey. There is a smokehouse on the premises, but it is slightly overpriced.

    You can't beat the BBQ by the pound, the drinks, or the selection of their own brews.

    Brisket is amazing, but the ribs are forgettable. Portion isn't too generous, but flavour is great

    Brisket is on point - they'll usually let you request what kind of cut you like (fat, lean etc)

    Bar staff spends more time shifting glassware around than actually being attentive to customers. Don't be surprised if you have to wait for service.

    The sausage and pork are where it's at. The ribs were a little fatty for my liking though.

    Had the chopped pork and some weather report wheat. Great combo at the end of a long day!

    Get the beef brisket. Chopped pork as backup. Skip the overpriced cauliflower ($9 for a few florets?!)
