Barrel & Boar

Barrel & Boar, originally known as Holy Smoke BBQ, has been a staple in the Columbus, Ohio, area since its inception in 1983. The restaurant's initial focus was on providing high-quality smoked meats and traditional BBQ fare. Over the years, it has expanded to multiple locations, including Gahanna and the North Market in Columbus. The Gahanna location, established in 2016, is particularly notable for its beautiful setting in the Creekside development, offering a rustic yet warm ambiance for enjoying southern cuisine paired with local craft beers and cocktails. The North Market location, our longest standing location, has been serving up Ohio BBQ countertop style to the bustling market crowd for over 15 years.
