Brews & BBQ

San Antone by Bludso’s BBQ is known as the home of real smokehouse flavours, but they also have a mean drinks list that’s almost as big as Texas.

Start your night with a signature cocktail – like Texas Tea (booze spiked house made iced tea) or Black Gold (with Ole Smoky blackberry moonshine).

Or try San Antone’s specialities – the margaritas. Sip a Cherry Bomb, or for something a little bit different, try a "Chuck Norris".

There’s also the largest range of boutique beers, including popular American imports – Blue Moon, Budweiser, Miller and Brooklyn Lager. Check out the great selection of wine, rye and whiskey, bourbon, moonshine, and tequila.

Pair your pick with San Antone’s real Texan barbecue and you have yourself one fine meal.
