Brooklyn BBQ

Are you talking about the place next to Kitchen Bar? I believe these are on 6th and 20th St.

I was wondering about it....what did you get there?
Also, has anyone eaten at Kitchen Bar yet?

I'm not really sure. It's next door to the BBQ place, opened a few months ago. It looks kind of nice inside, but I haven't eaten there yet. Curious though.

bbq bar, is on 6th ave and 20th st. i definitely recommend the pork bbq, smothered in the vinegar sauce, which is better than the red sauce. the beans on the side are killer. mac and chees is just fine. i haven't had much else there except for the beer, which is always cold. i like the non hip feeling in there. just a neighborhood spot.

kitchen, the lil restaurant right next door, is good, too. when i'm looking for a little something, but not a full gut buster, i'll get the kitchen burger tapas, 3 small burgs., one w/cheddar, one w/feta, one w/swiss. nice. other stuff is good, too.

The pulled pork sandwiches at BBQ are very good and the atmosphere is very relaxed.

I like the weekend brunch at Kitchenbar. The tapas are also good. I recently ordered the skirt steak sandwich w/ steak fries which was great.

Kitchenbar is more restaurant than bar, but it's pretty informal. BarBQ is more of a bar that happens to also serve food. I could see playing scrabble at either place, but Kitchenbar is a little more upscale.

Love Bar BQ, for the pulled pork and brisket. Unlike a lot of BBQ places in NYC, they appear to just season the meat simply and smoke it for a long time, then they serve it unadorned, with sauces on the side. It's what BBQ should be, just very smoky, tender meat served up plain. A lot of NYC "barbecue" might just as well be baked in the oven with barbecue sauce. I haven't had the ribs yet, and the chicken is just OK.

They need to work on their sides, tho, although the beans are good, and the potato salad OK. They need collard greens! And cornbread, although I suppose that's not very authentic.

i agree with linus, though... i wish they would make a slightly longer list of sides, preferably something GREEN.

finally, i know this is probably heresy in their BBQ neck-of-the-woods (tennesee-style? kansas-city-style? can't remember), but i wish they would add one more choice to their sauce list. the vinegar one and the sweet/spicy ones are good, but sometimes i just like me the thick sweet gooey sauce on my brisket.

Hmmm....I could have sworn I had collards last time I was there.

And yes, great bourbon and decent beer selection.
