| - I went here just last night for the Queen City BBQ, Bourbon, and Beer Festival. I don't think it really was a festival though. I imagine the rain had something to do with it, so there was not crowd-gathering corn hole tournament. To be honest, upon walking into the restaurant, it didn't seem like there was a special event going on. There was an impromptu table topper with the specials.
I was really happy with my meal: a crunchy, coleslawy shrimp taco, bbq slider, sweet crispy potato fries and a beer flight. The bbq was smokey and toasty. I tried some of the eastern sauce (NC style vinegar) and it was missing a little pizzaz but was still a great compliement. Very good local and craft beer selection.
Considering there was live music, it wasn't crazy loud just a guy playing some other guy's tunes. The space was not at all like any bbq place I've been to. Not at all smokey, carpeted, or lodge-like. It seemed like they should open it up as a dance hall on weekends. I really think a contra caller would set this place off.
Be sure to park in the 7th st. station parking deck!! Other decks won't take Queen City's validation... That may or may not be a well known fact
