Advice: Sharing is the way to go here if dining with friends.
Cinco of Howe Sound Beer
Enter a Barbq house that is brick walled throughout with reclaimed wood paneling, a beautiful wooden bar sporting 15 taps for the Howe Sound Brewing beers along with 5 guest taps for other local brew. My friend Rob Kemp joined me for some barbq eats and ale, where sharing was key. I started off with a cinco of Howe Sound Beer having 5 tasters, the Blueberry wheat ale, Devil’s Elbow India Pale Ale, Rail Ale but brown, Sky Pilot Northwest pale ale and Porthole Filler Imperial Stout; Rob lined up several of the beer tasters as well.
Housemade Kettle Chips
Chicken Wings
Chopped Salad
A feast of eats, we started with the outstanding and addictive Housemade Kettle Chips ($9) with a delicious mosque choux for dipping; then the House Smoked salt and pepper Chicken Wings ($13 gets you a dozen) ; then the Chopped Salad ($15) deconstructed with grilled romaine hearts, roma tomatoes, delicious smoked chicken and bacon, smokey house dressing which we had on the side.
Trio of Meats platter
Smoked Chicken Sandwich
Deep fried Pumpkin Cheesecake
We then got the Trio of Meats platter ($39 for 2) we chose these 3 meats, my favourites were the delicious smoked brisket and tender beef ribs, followed by the pork back ribs, the huge platter was served with delicious baked beans, and coleslaw; the Smoked Chicken Sandwich ($16) was outstanding with smoked chicken, trio of smoked bell peppers, chipotle mayo, smoked bacon, romaine hearts! To finish off the feast, Deep fried Pumpkin Cheesecake ($8) in phyllo pastry, with vanilla ice cream was a game changer and one that we would order time and time again!
