After 15 years of firing up the smokers and piling plates high with meat, Dinosaur Bar-B-Que on Tuesday announced it will be closing its Brooklyn location this spring as its current lease comes to an end.
The final chapter for the Union Street restaurant will wrap up later this season, according to restaurant executives.
Dinosaur Bar-B-Que was one of the first restaurant mainstays in Gowanus, a neighborhood that has seen an explosion of growth since it was rezoned.
“It has been an absolute honor to be welcomed into the Brooklyn community for 15 years,” said Mike Nugent, chief executive officer of Dinosaur Bar-B-Que. “We’ve had a front-row seat to an incredible neighborhood, and we’re proud of the team who showed up every day to deliver great barbecue and even better hospitality. Most of all, we’re thankful for the guests who kept coming back hungry.”
Other locations include Hamburg, Harlem, Rochester, Syracuse, and Troy, N.Y. Gift cards will be honored at the Brooklyn location through its final day of service and at all remaining locations thereafter.
