XO Burgers to Queue Beer, a Brooklyn Dinner Then Drinks Plan
Eat at XO Burgers, then continue to Queue Beer for rotating craft taps. Keep food and drinks as two decisions, with an early evening start that fits both stops.
📍 Two addresses, one order
🍔 Start with the meal
Start at XO Burgers on 5th Avenue and make the meal the first decision of the evening. Burgers are cooked in open view, with Cajun fries and a pistachio vanilla milkshake among the choices. Aim for an early dinner rather than saving food for the end. Eat before moving on to beer, and leave yourself room to change the order at the counter. Treat the arrival time as a planning suggestion, not a booking or a promise about waiting.
🍺 Choose from the current taps
Continue to Queue Beer on Smith Street once you have finished eating. The bar pairs 24 rotating craft taps with canned beer, cider, wine and spirits. Choose your drink after the meal rather than committing to a particular tap in advance. Ask the staff about the current selection and set a separate drinks budget. Keep the stop as long or short as your evening allows. If you prefer an earlier finish, Sunday has the earliest listed closing time at 8 PM.
🚶 Leave room between stops
Plan around 6 PM at the first stop as an editorial starting point, then move on when dinner is finished. Both venues list hours that support an early evening pairing every day. Leave a buffer between the two stops and check a walking route on the map before setting out. Do not treat the line between the pins as a timed walking route. Keep food and drinks as separate purchases, and choose your route home before settling into the second stop.
