Our suggestion? Order ahead to try the 1643 Punch Bowl which serves 4+. This concoction requires a full day of brewing + infusing, so it is only available with reservations.

Calling all beer lovers: The microbrews are crafted in-house by Peak Drift Brewing Company, aka the 64,000 sq ft. brewery opening next year. Pick from IPAs, ambers, and sours — oh my.

Private events:

Hosting a holiday party this season? The private dining areas at Smoked can accommodate large groups for both cocktails + seated dining during brunch, lunch, and dinner.

See the space in action during Smoked’s first ticketed public event – Glitter and Gold New Year’s Eve Party.
