Is\u00c2\u00a0Joe’s Real BBQ<\/strong><\/a>, a family-friendly downtown Gilbert landmark for the past 20 years, finally going to start offering beer and wine?<\/p>\n

That’s the way it appears after the Arizona Department of Liquor’s website\u00c2\u00a0confirms Joe’s has applied for its first-ever liquor license.<\/p>\n

Joe’s Real BBQ has made no official announcement, and owner Joe Johnston hasn’t responded to MXSW’s\u00c2\u00a0request for comment.<\/p>\n

Such a move, however, would seem to make sense, given the competitive nature of downtown Gilbert’s ever-crowded food-and-nightlife scene.<\/p>\n

And in the past 18\u00c2\u00a0months, the town has welcomed several new barbecue joints with liquor licenses, including\u00c2\u00a0Arizona Barbecue Company<\/strong><\/a>, Waldo’s BBQ<\/strong><\/a>, and Rudy’s BBQ<\/strong><\/a>.<\/p>\n

To date, the pastoral-themed Joe’s Real BBQ only has offered sodas, including\u00c2\u00a0its own house-made root beer,\u00c2\u00a0and a few other non-alcoholic beverages.<\/p>\n
