Old City Hall Barbecue & Brewery is Central New York's destination for low-and-slow smoked meats, classic BBQ, and handcrafted beer brewed right on-site. We're not just a restaurant — we're a one-of-a-kind experience rooted in a building with over 180 years of Oswego history.
The Barbecue: We do BBQ the right way. Slow-smoked brisket, pulled pork, ribs, and all the fixings, made fresh daily and packed with real wood-smoke. Whether you're ordering a smoked meat combo in the dining room or grabbing a sandwich to go, every bite is the real deal.
The Brewery: Craft beer brewed in-house, right here in Oswego. From hoppy IPAs to rich stouts and crisp lagers, our rotating tap list means there's always something new to try — and always something cold waiting for you.
Housed in Oswego's original 1836 Market House, later the city's first official City Hall, and meticulously restored to preserve its historic character. Enjoy riverside views from our first-floor dining room and outdoor boardwalk seating overlooking the Oswego River, or kick back on the outdoor patio by the fire pits and self-serve tap wall.
