Smokey Bones

Smokey Bones is a BBQ restaurant on Moskovsky Avenue in the Moskovsky District of St Petersburg. The restaurant is centred on smokehouse cooking, with meat prepared slowly to develop a tender texture and pronounced smoky flavour. Brisket and pork ribs are among the signature styles, while the wider menu includes dishes created by the chef.

The setting combines a relaxed restaurant atmosphere with a bar-led layout. Three shared dining rooms provide space for everyday meals, informal gatherings and longer evenings with friends. Contact bar seating and a counter beside the open kitchen bring the preparation process into view, giving the restaurant a more social feel than a traditional closed-kitchen dining room.

Smokey Bones also has a separate private room for smaller celebrations, business dinners, family occasions and group get-togethers. The room accommodates between eight and 18 people and operates with deposit-based service. This makes it suitable for occasions that need a more contained setting without leaving the restaurant’s BBQ and bar atmosphere.

The drinks list extends beyond beer and includes cocktails, along with a substantial selection of whisky and gin. The beer offering draws from producers and styles from different parts of the world, while the cocktail menu combines familiar classics with house creations. Together, the food and drinks make the restaurant a natural fit for casual dinners, social evenings and gatherings organised around shared plates and drinks.

Breakfast service gives the venue an additional daytime role, while the main menu is suited to lunch, dinner and later bar visits. The overall style is informal and comfortable rather than formal, with the open kitchen, bar counters and smokehouse menu shaping the restaurant’s character. Smokey Bones works particularly well for diners looking for American-style BBQ, a broad drinks selection or a flexible venue for a group meal near Moskovsky Avenue.
