Home Plate Pig-Out

Get Ready to Pig Out at Home Plate’s Smoke Out Celebration!

Just announced, this is not one you’re going to want to miss!

After Home Plate BBQ closed its doors last week after it got a little too smoky in its smoker, they’re re-opening their doors this Saturday, March 12th with “The Great Smokeout”.

“Last week we learned that laying two hogs side by side our smoker gets the meat love a little bit too hot, and 119 was called. Bad news for us, good news for you!” – Home Plate BBQ

tl;dr version: The Bar-BQ is a Chinese version of Home Plate BBQ and should be treated as such. The food isn’t bad but don’t go looking for authenticity.

How to find the Bar-BQ: walk through TaiKoo Li, past the apple store and down Bar Street. Turn left into the small alley with Fish Nation and Smugglers bar and turn left at the end of the alley. The Bar-BQ is just around that corner on the 2nd floor of the building.

Starting Thursday, September 18th, The Taco Bar Commences Lunch Service

Since Team Rocky re-opened The Legendary Taco Bar in South Sanlitun mid-June this year, they have gradually started expanding their opening hours to not only include boozy late-nights of six-too-many-tequila shots and those dangerous cocktails they keep letting people purchase. After launching their weekend brunch in mid-July, I’m happy to share that they’re now offering a lunch set that’s basically too temptingly good to deny.
