Food Scene
Smoke BBQ + Bar is the Ice District’s newest hidden gem. Quietly tucked inside the Crash Hotel, Smoke is a BBQ lover’s dream nestled inside a quaint and inviting bar and lounge. As you walk in, you are comforted by the scent of smoked cedar and cherrywood, the rich burgundy tones of the interior and the turn-of-the-20th-century inspired tin ceiling tiles. The staff are very friendly, the cocktails unique and the food is delicious!
