New restaurant calling itself a 'barbecue 'n booze hangout' to open in The Colony

New restaurant and bar Barrel & Bones seems purposefully contrarian. "We're not going to compete against all the hoity-toity places up around The Star," says co-founder Mark Kelcher, speaking about the nearby development in Frisco. "We want to be the alternative to all that hustle and bustle."

Barrel & Bones, located in The Colony's Austin Ranch, is expected to open Nov. 30.

B&B will serve barbecue such as brisket, turkey and ribs, plus Texified appetizers like poblano corn fritters and beer can chicken dip. (Note: The menu is subject to change.) Whatever you eat, the drinks of choice here are bourbon or whiskey, and the bar is pouring 200 varieties from across the globe.

Inside Barrel & Bones, you'll find TVs, leather chairs, a bar made of repurposed Jack Daniel's barrels, and "a lighted Longhorn skull that blows smoke," says a press release. The patio has TVs, too, and is dog-friendly.

Barrel & Bones will be located at 2801 Plano Parkway in The Colony and is expected to open Nov. 30.
