Smoke & Maple Gastropub is gearing up to bring its first-ever location to Avenir Town Center in Palm Beach Gardens, with the locally owned spot targeting a late-spring 2026 debut. The concept is built around a 167-seat dining room and a flexible indoor-outdoor bar, set up to handle everything from quick happy hour drop-ins to more elevated, linger-a-while dinners. Owners say the aim is to mix elevated culinary techniques with familiar comfort-food favorites and a broad drinks program.
Menu and team
In a press release on PRWeb, the owners describe the menu as “rustic refined,” with daily rotating oysters, a Smoke & Maple smash burger and locally sourced seasonal ingredients. The release names Chef Dave Schroeder as the culinary lead and notes that the concept will feature elevated cocktails, local beers and a comprehensive wine list.
Design and seating
The buildout will lean into Florida vibes, with an indoor-outdoor bar framed by bifold windows and interior details that nod to Old Florida, the Everglades and Palm Beach golf culture, as reported by WhatNow. The roughly 167-seat space is being laid out to handle a range of visits, from quick drinks at the bar to full, sit-down meals.
Where and timeline
The gastropub is slated for 12325 Northlake Blvd., Suite 130, Palm Beach Gardens, FL 33412, and is targeting a late-spring opening, according to the press release. One local trade outlet reports the team is planning a May job fair and eyeing a late-June soft opening and training period, a timeline that would push the full public launch into summer, as reported by Business Debut.
What this adds to Avenir
Avenir’s Town Center is being developed as a walkable mini-downtown serving the larger master-planned community, with shops, restaurants and services intended for thousands of residents. The addition of a locally owned gastropub is the latest tenant announcement as the center moves toward an opening this summer, according to the developer’s news page Avenir Palm Beach Gardens.
