What to order first
Black Diamond Brisket
14-hour smoked beef with peppery bark and a perfect smoke ring. Our namesake cut: packer brisket rubbed in black pepper and salt, smoked fourteen hours over oak until the bark is dark and crackling and the smoke ring runs deep pink. We slice it thick to order so you get both lean and fatty in every plate. Served naked so the meat speaks — sauces on the side if you want them. Try with: Smoked Old Fashioned · House Bourbon neat
Smoked Old Fashioned
Bourbon, chocolate bitters, demerara — under a dome of wood smoke. House bourbon, Aztec chocolate bitters, demerara, and orange, presented under a glass dome of wood smoke that lifts tableside. Our bar’s calling card — theatrical, deep, and built for slow sipping. Try with: Black Diamond Brisket · Burnt Ends
St. Louis Ribs
Fall-off-the-bone pork ribs glazed with house sweet heat. St. Louis–cut spare ribs, trimmed and smoked low until the bones tug clean. Finished with a sticky house sweet-heat glaze that caramelizes under the pit fire — sticky, smoky, a little bite. Ask for a dry-rub half rack if you want the bark to stay front and center. Try with: Diamond Mule · Local draft lager
Steam Espresso Martini
Coffee vodka, vanilla vodka, fresh espresso, dessert foam. House coffee vodka, vanilla vodka, and fresh espresso shaken hard for a dessert-rich foam. End-of-night energy in a coupe — sweet, bitter, and highly caffeinated in spirit. Try with: Bourbon Brownie · Banana Pudding
