Dinosaur Bar-B-Que had already established itself as a high-end restaurant chain before debuting in Brooklyn. With locations in food-centric neighborhoods in Chicago, Syracuse, and Harlem, Dinosaur draws visitors for their authentic barbecue, live music and thoughtfully curated brews. The retro decor and venue space for concerts only enhances the already phenomenal food. Try traditional offerings like brisket sandwiches and chicken wings or go for something more exotic like lamb shoulder braised in Asian spices. Everything pairs well with a local East Coast beer from Brooklyn’s Six Point or Connecticut’s Two Roads.
