Camp Out at a Barbecue Restaurant

County Barbecue

Have you ever wanted to camp overnight in a barbecue restaurant with a romantic interest? Well you’re in luck, because County Barbecue is offering that very opportunity! As a partnership with HowAboutWe for Couples, the Taylor Street barbecue haven is affording couples a very unique date night experience, complete with a makeshift tent, a “campsite” meal, Old Western movies, and bourbon. It’s like Night at the Museum, but romantic and surrounded by smoky meats!

This once-in-a-lifetime opportunity begins with a private dinner and a behind-the-scenes glimpse at County’s barbecue cookery. The restaurant closes to the public between 8:00 pm and 9:00 am. Tables are replaced by a tent lined with sleeping bags, by which couples can enjoy their dinner. Old Western movies stream late into the night, with bourbon for twilight sipping. Additionally, the couple can help the overnight cook man the hickory smoker, since County’s meats require hours of slow-cooking.

This opportunity is only available for a limited time. Here’s some more information.
