Expect a mix of classic barbecue plates and more experimental dishes tailored to both brunch fans and night owls.

Barrel & Bones details its weekday and weekend offers on its specials page, including daily happy hour from 3 to 6 p.m., half-price brisket burgers on Mondays, $2 tacos on Tuesdays and whiskey-focused pours on Wednesdays. The page also promotes late-night pricing and menu items that kick in around 10 p.m., along with brunch touches such as bottomless mimosas during weekend late-morning hours at select locations. Several DFW locations list typical hours of 11 a.m. to 2 a.m., underscoring the chain’s emphasis on serving the after-hours crowd…
