About Northbound Smokehouse & Brewpub
From Northbound Smokehouse & Brewpub's own website and its Google listing, read October 4, 2026.
Northbound Smokehouse & Brewpub is a full service brewpub and smokehouse in Minneapolis. It opened in 2012 and combines its own beer with a restaurant and full bar. The brewery has expanded its lager and barrel aging programs.
The food menu leans into smoked meat and Southern barbecue. The website names an 18 hour Porketta sandwich and smoked wings among its long running dishes. Beer flights, whiskey, spirits and craft cocktails are also part of the bar program.
This is a sit down brewpub rather than a taproom built around counter service. Northbound also sells crowlers to go and operates catering and a food truck for events away from the restaurant.
