What goes better with a nice bike ride than a big ol’ plate of barbecue? Monkey Wrench Smokehouse is finally open in downtown Travelers Rest + has all your pulled pork needs covered.

Loren Frant and Andy O’Mara, the owners of Sidewall Pizza Company + Rocket Surgery, combined their restaurant experience to open this new BBQ joint.

We got a look at the back patio last weekend.
