Q-BBQ was born after a group of friends had a vision for a modern twist on an authentic BBQ restaurant, and the result was smoked meats cooked low and slow for up to 22 hours, homemade sauces, and sides built from scratch. Two Brothers Barrel House, by local brewery favorite Two Brothers, is a multi-level dining establishment bringing together a market café, farm-to-table modern tavern restaurant, and cocktail bar.
