Smokin Joes expansion?
Nothing too serious, but I noticed the other day that it looked like Smokin Joes has concrete foundations poured out in the open space at the tip of their lot. Are they really expanding? Lived around the bend for two years and I still haven't tried the place.

Maybe they are just adding an outside patio. I'm not sure they currently have one. The food is good you should try it.
Put your money where your mouth is...live downtown. Get out of the car and walk, shop, and play in the city. Don't bring a suburban attitude/lifestyle to the city, rather be apart of changing the urban fabric for the better.

I think they actually tore down the wooden deck where they used to have outdoor dining to make room for this. I suppose it may just be an expanded outdoor space, but the foundations looked fairly serious.kc-vino wrote: Maybe they are just adding an outside patio. I'm not sure they currently have one.

Good to hear its decent, I will have to give it a try.

Re: Smokin Joes expansion?
yes, it's a much more serious set-up than what they had before. this will have a stairway up to the rooftop deck! there's a rendering taped to the front door:

very nice! i've never been to SJ's either, but i will always support the presence of another rooftop deck. does SJ serve beer? (sorry, but that's the main thing that will draw me to a rooftop deck!)DaveKCMO wrote: this will have a stairway up to the rooftop deck! there's a rendering taped to the front door:

Wow, that looks like a whole second level. I was just figuring they were bumping out the front room a bit.

i forgot to mention that it will be at least a couple of months before it's ready.

Re: Smokin Joes expansion?
The other night we walked by Smoking Joes and not only were they actually open during real evening hours for once, they actually had a live music act playing out on the new oof deck. Didn't look like they had much of a crowd - hopefully they keep it going as I have still never tried the place as it is always closing by the time I get by.

That deck was jammed on First Friday. I ate there last Thursday afternoon, and the expansion gave some needed added space, although the chairs around the bar area are uncomfortable as hell.
