Cinder BBQ in Petworth serves up stellar smoked meats like Texas-style brisket and Southern pulled pork, paired with a killer selection of over 100 whiskeys.
"Cinder gives Petworth’s main drag a place to get generously spice-rubbed barbecue at the hands of pioneering female pitmaster Ciara Sandborg. The space that formerly housed Latin American wine bar Ruta del Vino serves rare, award-winning whiskeys from the central square bar." - Tierney Plumb, Eater Staff
"Smoked meats and a wide selection of whiskey are available to sample at Cinder BBQ. Pitmaster Bill Coleman is usually the one watching over the smoker, and his attention to detail pays off in fatty brisket and succulent pulled pork that’s finger-licking good." - Tim Ebner
"There’s $10-everything government shutdown specials at the Petworth barbecue pad, which covers orders of wings, nachos, salads, and sandwiches, plus a Sazerac-Old Fashioned and Manhattan." - Tierney Plumb
"Bourbon won’t always be the answer, but for now, Matt Krimm is grateful for the 375-milliliter bottles of Buffalo Trace and Eagle Rare that have helped keep Cinder BBQ in business." - Gabe Hiatt
"Ruta del Vino closed to open up space for Cinder barbecue." - Gabe Hiatt
