Chris and Nick O’Sullivan opened the doors of the first Brothers BBQ in February 1998 on the corner of Monaco and Leetsdale, but their love for BBQ started long before.

Traveling the United States as a professional race car driver, Nick, who was often accompanied by older brother Chris, would stop at every BBQ joint along the way. The two of them soon became hooked on the local BBQ styles and cultures that they experienced while traveling across the country.

Together, Chris and Nick decided that they would one day bring these different tastes of America back home to Denver, Colorado. For several years, Chris worked in local BBQ restaurants serving as an apprentice to BBQ artisans. In his spare time, he experimented on family and friends with meats and sauces, combining the best of each of his BBQ memories. Each area of the country had its own style of “Q,” and the brothers wanted to bring all of their favorite styles together in one location, that would remind people of their hometown BBQ joints.

Once their recipes had been perfected, Nick and Chris converted a garage on the corner of Monaco & Leetsdale into the first Brothers BBQ Joint. 20 years later, the original Brothers BBQ still sits in this Denver location. Car parts, license plates, and other automobile memorabilia line the walls of this location and each of our 5 Brothers BBQ locations, to remind customers of where their journey first began.

All of our meats at Brothers BBQ are purchased fresh and are never frozen. We slow smoke our meats daily over fresh-cut hickory wood to provide a tender, juicy and smoky cut of meat. After smoking, each of our meats are finished on the grill with their recommended sauce and served fresh to order. We at Brothers BBQ would never serve anything to our customers that we wouldn’t love to eat ourselves – and that’s our motto.
