Our enclosed 40,000 square feet of outdoor courtyard, the Smokeyard, adds an irresistible indoor/outdoor element and charm to the event space that has made Central City BBQ the regular annual host of events like the NOLA Crawfish Festival, the Marley Gras Jerk Chicken Festival, and the NOLA Caribbean Festival.

That expansive indoor/outdoor space combined with our built-in bar and killer menu offerings make Central City BBQ the perfect spot to accommodate almost any size and type of shindig you’re looking to throw! From corporate events to weddings, and seated dinners to a whole hog extravaganza, our restaurant can and will satisfy all of your requirements and serve up a fabulous experience your guests will never forget.

For more intimate gatherings, look no further than our Pit Room.
