What started as a small group of home brewers, who simply wanted to make a better beer, evolved into the adventurers known today as Ballast Point. READ MORE...

About
Smack Shack, located at the base of the Google building in Fulton Market, started as a food truck zipping around Minneapolis, serving one style of lobster roll (New England) and a couple of po’boys. Six years later, Smack Shack has two brick and mortar locations: a 200-seater in Minneapolis and the newly opened Chicago location, which seats 300. The casual restaurant is a joint venture with Four Corners Tavern Group, whose owners visited the Minnesota Smack Shack, fell in love and proposed a partnership. The menu features the lobster roll the truck made its name on, as well as a Connecticut-style lobster roll, served warm with butter on a split-top hot dog bun. Other menu staples include a raw bar, clam chowder, stone crab, catfish, shrimp and grits, and more.
