Bellingham restaurant known for smoked BBQ and unique cocktails closing for good
Bellingham is losing a popular BBQ restaurant that’s been in business for three years. Homeschool BBQ, a “fun and funky barbecue restaurant with tasty food and awesome cocktails,” will close permanently at the end of March, according to a social media post from the business’ account.
The restaurant was launched in 2023 by Christopher Reeves, Aaron Kirschenmann and Daniel Ryan.
“Chris and I have some sad yet exciting news. We are moving on from this chapter of our lives and will be closing Homeschool BBQ at the end of March. We absolutely loved serving the community and we are forever grateful to all our loyal and loving customers. You have made these past 3 years a wonderful experience,” the post states.
“The last weekend of March will be our last days of operation. Our Homeschool BBQ 3-year anniversary is on February 24th, AArons 45th birthday is on March 22nd, and our 23rd anniversary together is on March 30th. Please stop by and help us celebrate,” the post states.
The restaurant is known for its in-house smoked meats, chili mac and cheese, baby back ribs, buttermilk biscuits, and a variety of sauces ranging in flavors from guava habanero to black garlic and bourbon.
The cocktail menu also includes some unique drinks made with homemade shrubs, lemonade, bloody mary mix and ginger brews, such as a Southern strawberry lemonade cooler and a “On Wednesdays We Wear Pink Paloma.”
“We are proud of all the hard work and love we have put into this restaurant so come by and help us finish this adventure with lots of joy. Y’all stay wonderful, and we’ll see you soon,” the post states.
Homeschool BBQ is open from 11 a.m. to 7 p.m. Thursday through Sunday at 521 Kentucky St. in Bellingham.
