Headliners, 2430 Lincoln Way, is well known for its bar and local music scene, but it will soon introduce something new for Ames residents.

The bar will add a smokehouse, which will open to the public for lunch and dinner starting Wednesday. 

The smokehouse will take on a local vibe as they plan to buy only local or Midwestern products. Chefs will hand-select their meat and then create their own spice recipes according to the cut of meat, which then get slow-smoked with hickory wood.

Headliner’s Smokehouse also features homemade barbecue sauce, which will be sold for $5 a pint.

Starters include deep-fried pickles, homemade chips and beer-battered fries.

The smokehouse also features a special burger that gets smoked before being finished on the grill, beef brisket and pulled-pork sandwiches and smoked chicken wings all for $5.

Dinners include baby back ribs, smoked with Gordon’s Original BBQ Sauce. The half rack is available for $9, while the full rack is $15.
