Oak-smoked brisket, pulled pork, and slow-cured ham have been the calling card of BBQ House Bar & Grill since 1991, when the founding family launched the operation a few doors from where the Strand Theatre once stood. House-made mild and spicy BBQ sauces finish every plate, and the from-scratch grill-and-smoker output puts BBQ House in the same Newport Avenue corridor as the fish-taco-and-burger operation at South Beach Bar & Grille two blocks west. The signature BBQ burrito wraps brisket, beans, slaw, and sauce inside a flour tortilla — a dish unique to this kitchen on the avenue. A 30-tap craft-beer wall pours West Coast IPAs and sours, with the rotating local-brewery handles regularly featuring pours from Mike Hess Brewing Ocean Beach just up the street. Catering programs build park events, NFL Sunday viewing parties, and full company gatherings with brisket, hot links, ham, chicken, and side spreads scaled for crowds of 50 and up.
