Virgil's Real BBQ - Times Square: Manhattan, NYC

This Manhattan barbecue institution has been serving smoked meats, ribs, and Southern sides from its Times Square address since 1994. Smoke rises from an open kitchen, where brisket and ribs take center stage, while the bar pours from an extensive cocktail and craft beer list. Southern comfort food anchors the menu, and the schedule carries recurring live music on Wednesdays and Fridays, plus an all-day Monday happy hour. A casual dress code fits the room.
