Up In Smoke

Up In Smoke is all about enjoying smoked meats, cold beers, and cocktails in a laid-back setting. Now open at Footscray and Watergardens (NEW)

Housed in a refurbished garage with an outdoor beer garden, it’s the perfect spot to relax and savor some good food and drinks. Set in an refurbished old mechanics workshop, Up In Smoke is a casual eatery serving the very best smoked meats, craft beer & cocktails. We're also home to the Up In Smoke General Store, trading daily for lunch on the go, coffee and snacks as well as operating as a BBQ Supplies Outlet & Bottleshop.
