Bones Brew & BBQ Now Open

As GOBS' own intrepid reporter Bill MacKenzie first divulged a few weeks back, the former Boston's pizza near 84th & Giles in LaVista has been transformed into Omaha's newest BBQ restaurant, Bones Brew & BBQ, at 8045 S. 83rd Avenue.

As the story goes, MacKenzie was eating at Boston's (in lieu of one of his regular BBQ haunts) when he discovered that they would be renovating the space into a new barbeque restaurant the following week!

According to a news item in today's Omaha World-Herald, Chef Glenn Wheeler and Bones' co-owner John Davis grew up in Michigan City, Indiana. Wheeler noted they have added a nonsmoking bar section and kept many of the Boston's staff members.

The menu features barbeque wings, ribs, and brisket -- plus salmon, catfish, burgers, pizzas, soup, and "44 varieties of beer." They offer dine-in eating, plus carryout and catering services. The phone number is (402) 592-BEER (402-592-2337).

Hours are:
Monday - Thursday, 3 p.m. to 1 a.m.
Friday - Sunday, 11 a.m. to 1 a.m.
