Smokey O'Grady's BBQ and Pub

i love it here! may not be for everyone but small simple bar, pretty good food and its pretty local but i really enjoy it

You have to be 21 to be at this location even to eat. Or you can have someone who's a parent or guardian or someone above 21.

Smokeys oh Smokeys.  I have spent way too much time bellied up to your bar.  If you're in this neck of the woods, this is pretty much it for a social environment.

During the day, you'll find an older crowd in here, just hanging out as if they've known each other for years.  That's probably because they have known each other for years.  The food is quite affordable, and there's a wide enough variety that you won't get bored.  As far as quality goes...well, it's acceptable.  It's labeled as a BBQ place, but it's more like a pub that just happens to have BBQ.  The pulled-pork is juicy and tender.  If you want to stuff yourself for cheap, check out the boneless ribs.  The food isn't going to knock your socks off, but it's okay for what it is.

The sandwiches and wraps are the way to go.  The Gallaway Bay has a ton of flavor, and tends to be consistently good.  Stay away from the burgers.  I don't know how they manage it, but they're always dry.  You can order a burger that's 90% pink, and it'll still be dry.  Maybe it's just the leanest beef on Earth.  Who knows, but it's just not good.

For a small bar, the tap list is pretty good.  It's also constantly evolving.  I believe the first time I went there, they had your Budweisers and Coors and Millers on tap, and then one tap dedicated to Harpoon IPA.  Now, they've got Dogfish Head, Cider on tap, and a few other stray craft beers in there.

On the weekends, at night, you'll find a younger crowd at Smokeys.  They have karaoke, live bands, and DJs quite often.  You can have a really good time here.  If you're in the area, check it out.
