Smoked Meats Meet a Riverfront Patio in Avondale
Eat smoked meats and soul food sides beside the river in Avondale, with cocktails to round out the meal.
🍖 Start With Smoke and Sides
Start with smoked meats and soul food sides, then leave room for a drink by the water. Soul and Smoke at Rockwell on the River pairs its Avondale barbecue with a patio overlooking the river. Make that setting part of your first meal here, rather than treating this as a stop for a quick order. Cocktails join beer and wine on the drinks side.
The indoor room has its own pull, with exposed brick, timber beams and strings of warm bulbs overhead. Hanging ferns soften the brickwork, and a wooden kayak hangs between the windows. Choose between that timbered room and the patio when planning your meal.
Find this Chicago location at 3057 N Rockwell St. Hours run from eleven AM to nine PM Sunday through Thursday, and eleven AM to half past nine PM Friday and Saturday. Plan lunch or dinner around those hours, with smoked meats, classic sides and a drink beside the water.
