No stove, no oven, no flat top, no propane EVER! What a long, strange trip its been! From a trailer to a destination restaurant within 12 months! There's a reason it's good and we will never forget our successes are a direct result from the hard work, passion, quality and dedications we bring to the craft of BBQ.

Due to Traverse City Comedy Fest failure to execute a contract for the weekend rental on Encore 201 we will not be hosting events for this festival.
We have been trying for months to secure a signed agreement and payment for the rental and today, only 24 hours before the event, their interaction with us was not in the same spirit as past years and they have decided to move the shows to another venue.
We wish them luck with their new venue and will be open for normal business as usual Friday & Saturday 9pm-2am.

DJ Ricky T from 9 PM – 2 AM, and he’s not letting us down.

Sparks BBQ is going on a sort of vacation making room for our new venture, Enclave 201.

This Sunday marks the last chance (for a while) to get your hands on the BBQ you know and love. Will we be back? Yes. When? Stay tuned…

But for now get your ASS here before it’s all gone! Don’t be the one stuck craving it when the doors are closed. Clock’s ticking!⏳
