Dinosaur Bar-B-Que

Pit powerhouse John Stage—the Harley enthusiast behind the wildly popular 'cue empire—expands to Brooklyn with this 208-seat Gowanus outpost. A former tool-and-dye factory, this expansive honky-tonk is done up Dino-style, with exposed-brick walls, reclaimed banquette booths and sidewalk picnic tables. An installation of recycled whiskey bottles hangs from the high ceiling, and the bar is a set piece from the Russell Crowe film Cinderella Man, stocked with draft beers from Kelso, Sixpoint and Brooklyn Brewery.
