It was only a matter of time before the BBQ force that is Chef Bryan Dooley expanded his brand in hours, size and products.  Bryan Dooley’s Black Mountain Barbecue will begin an expansion by adding Sunday to the daily roster, opening Tuesday through Sunday. The new hours will begin Nov. 2 through May 31, 2015  adding to the seasonal opening and will resume summer hours in June. This will give guests the added day that they have been craving and allow patrons to pick up take-out for those football games and parties, while still keeping full service in the restaurant and patio dining. 

Next big news, Bryan’s will be expanding in the space next door.  The expansion will be called “Bryan’s Side Door “ and will be home to a new space dedicated to pick-up orders and allow for private parties and more individual tables.  The space will allow Dooley more room in his current location and dedicated to take-out orders moving more rapidly. Bryan’s Side Door is set to open sometime in early February 2015. 

Dooley is currently in the process of getting all the design and construction in order and will begin breaking through the wall soon. Sixty First Place Architects was selected for design. The buildout will be completed by Copperstate Interior Construction. Interior design will be handled by Dooley and his wife, Donna.

“It was just a matter of time that we would begin to grow and our space would need to be enlarged,” Dooley said. “The timing is perfect. The space became available, so I had to jump on it. I will be changing the patio a bit by changing the railing, enlarging the space.  Now people will be able to head right into Bryan’s Side Door, pick up their order and head back home or to a party.  In addition, the added space will allow private parties in the back where we will have great space.”

The new entrance will streamline the whole process of carry-out.  More ideas are planned for the space and will be announced.
