Summary: Barbecue joint with live music vibe.
Nestled in the heart of Wicker Park since 1994, Smoke Daddy has been a beacon for barbecue aficionados and live music enthusiasts alike. Expanding from a snug dining room to a spacious patio complete with outdoor heating and flatscreens, it's a place where dog lovers congregate and blues bands bring the soul of the city to life. Smoke Daddy's menu is a tribute to Midwestern flavors, with a nod to Kansas City's vinegar-based sauces and a selection of smoked meats over fruit woods that leave guests savoring every bite. Alongside classic meat platters, the Wrightwood salad emerges as an unexpected hero, while the drinks selection satisfies with craft beers, specialty cocktails, and a curated wine list.
