The Broken Barrel Bar

Broken Barrel Bar spreads a sports crowd across three indoor sections and a 2,000-square-foot beer garden, each with its own bar and television, for a total of 45 flatscreens through the building. The wings are smoked over oak logs before frying, finished in sauces running from bourbon barbecue to a ghost-pepper-and-habanero heat. Order the smoked wings and pick a section, indoors or in the beer garden, depending on how loud a game-day crowd you want.
