Craving barbecue? You're in luck: Wicker Park's popular Smoke Daddy has opened its second location at 3636 N. Clark St. in Wrigleyville.

The restaurant in the Hotel Zachary features a stage for live blues music, a second-floor patio that overlooks Wrigley Field and bars on both floors, per Eater Chicago.

Carnivores can get their fill with Chicago-style spare ribs, sliced brisket, pulled meat nachos and chili. For salad lovers, there's the Wrightwood salad with smoked chicken, craisins, avocado and goat cheese, topped with a citrus vinaigrette.

Family-style and a la carte brunch offerings are also available, with the option of bottomless drinks like the "smokin'" bloody mary. (Take a look at the full menu on website.)

With a 3.5-star rating out of 13 reviews on Yelp so far, the new arrival has made a promising start.

Victoria K., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on April 11, said, "Great addition to the group of restaurants in the neighborhood! The restaurant has two floors with the main floor being more for the bar and for music entertainment, whereas the second floor is more for large groups and dining. The beers came out right away and opened our appetites even more. The wings were very delicious! Definitely give this place a try!"

Intrigued? Stop in to try it for yourself. Smoke Daddy is open from 11:30 a.m.–2 a.m. on weekdays and 10 a.m.–2 a.m. on weekends.
