Hill Country brings barbecue to the lawn of the National Building Museum

The Lone Star-themed Hill Country Barbecue Market and the National Building Museum will be waltzing across Texas this summer.
From May 3 through the end of summer, the Penn Quarter restaurant will throw Hill Country’s Backyard Barbecue on the museum’s west lawn, along Fifth Street NW between G and F streets, one block east of the Verizon Center.
The plan calls for a combination picnic-style outdoor barbecue and honky tonk, with a menu of brisket, pork and chicken sandwiches, hot links and sides. (All entrees are $10 and come with a side.) On Friday and Saturday nights, there will be live roots music, starting with the Kalob Griffin Band on May 3. Patrons can get into the Texas boot-scootin’ spirit with four styles of Shiner beer, signature cocktails and margaritas, including a grapefruit-flavored Ruby Red concoction.
