Hometown Bar-B-Que

Since 2013, this Red Hook venue has drawn crowds with the rich aroma of its oak-fired pits. The menu applies classic Southern smoking techniques to diverse local flavors, yielding items like Korean ribs seasoned like fried chicken. Traditional sides like mac and cheese, cornbread, and nacho cheese dip share the table with seasonal cocktails and wines from the two bars. The atmosphere is relaxed and comfortable, though the experience often requires navigating long lines that stretch out the door, especially on weekends when live music plays.
