At the end of the year, we will be closing our doors after 12 years in business. While we’re saddened to share this news, we’re enormously grateful to our community, teams, and guests who have helped write the Blue Smoke story.

Blue Smoke’s original Flatiron location, which opened in 2002, was permanently closed in 2020 due to COVID-19.

We take pride in being part of a brand that played a significant role in shaping the urban barbecue scene in New York City and beyond. We’re filled with appreciation for the community we’ve built, and for the connections we’ve made through annual events such as the Big Apple Barbecue Block Party.

Most importantly, we are grateful to our team members, past and present, who have contributed to Blue Smoke’s rich legacy.  
 
Although there are no immediate plans for a new location, we remain hopeful for Blue Smoke’s future revival. In the coming months, we will remain open and will activate a series of events to celebrate the barbecue community, our teams, and you, our loyal guests. Watch this space for announcements — we look forward to marking over two decades of cue with you.
