Bark - Beer & BBQ In Gioiosa ionica

Meat and Beers of the highest quality! I will definitely be going back again and again

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Lots of places in Italy try to make a good American-style burger, but Bark in Gioiosa Ionica really stands out. Everything here is absolutely amazing and made in-house — from the fresh beef patties to the buns, even the ketchup and mayo. The deep-fried mac and cheese balls were out of this world! The quality and care that goes into every detail shows, and nothing is missing from this place. Big compliments to the Bark team for delivering such a great experience. Highly recommended!

I really liked the style of the place; there are some lovely furnishings. There's a decent selection of draft and bottled/canned beers; I tried a delicious smoked porter on tap. The menu is very interesting, but some items weren't available (they're simply crossed out on the menu). The supplì alla corte d'Assise was good, with excellent breading; for the burger, I had a brisket, which I really enjoyed; everyone at the table was happy with their choices. The Maritozzo al gelato was also good, and the espresso, made on site, smells incredible. Unfortunately, there are some flaws I can't overlook: the place is probably poorly soundproofed, it's not very large, and communication is difficult due to the confusion. The service is very friendly but unfortunately slow, and the wait between courses is considerable. Some communications were unclear: we were told certain items weren't available, only to later be proven wrong. Despite its flaws, the place is recommended and definitely worth a visit as the ingredients are top-quality. I'll probably return to try more.

A pleasant discovery! I discovered it by chance thanks to a photo posted by a friend on Facebook. The place and the staff are very welcoming and knowledgeable! The meat is cooked to perfection and the selection of craft beers is excellent—you'll leave satisfied! Highly recommended! I'll definitely be back :-)

Bark - Beer & BBQ in Gioiosa Ionica is a real treat for those seeking a unique dining experience. This venue stands out for its ability to combine two excellent elements: a vast and refined selection of craft beers and authentic American barbecue. The atmosphere is welcoming and informal, perfect for an evening with friends. The beers, carefully selected to enhance the flavors of the food, are the real highlight. But it's the food that steals the show: the BBQ specialties are expertly prepared and melt-in-the-mouth, accompanied by signature fried foods and homemade desserts. Whether it's dinner with friends or a simple after-work beer, Bark is the place to be. Highly recommended!

I tried both the fried chicken sandwich and the brisket sandwich (the latter has become one of my all-time favorite sandwiches, and I shouldn't exaggerate by saying I'm from Milan, where I've tried several). In addition to the high-quality meat and its preparation, the combinations of ingredients, and the homemade bread made every bite a delight! The craft beers are also very high-quality. The prices are more than fair for what you get. I return whenever I can!

A very cute American BBQ and beer-themed venue, the quality of the meat is incredible. I highly recommend the brisket, both on a sandwich and on its own, paired with their signature cocktail, "The Local," which blew me away. Definitely worth returning.

The quality of the raw materials is unquestionable, as is the knowledge of the staff, who explain in detail the composition of the products and the type of processing used. An excellent experience.

The unexpected gem: in Gioiosa Superiore, a gourmet burger house of the highest caliber. Smash burgers, homemade bread, crispy supplì, and above all, passion and friendliness. Only one flaw: it's addictive.

Ho mangiato uno dei migliori smash burgers dell'ultimo periodo, anche le patatine erano molto buone e cotte bene. Le 4 stelle sono per la poca scelta di birre, su questo aspetto credo si possa lavorare. Per il resto tutto molto bene, a cominciare dal personale super gentile. Consigliato!
