Located in the heart of Sydney's CBD, Roast Republic offers a hearty menu inspired by Southern USA and South American barbecue traditions. Think slow-cooked beef back ribs that fall off the bone, sticky pork ribs glazed with smoky love, blackened chicken with a spicy kick, and Southern-fried crispy chicken that crunches just right, all drizzled with their house-made chimichurri that packs a punch. The share menus are perfect for groups seeking a communal dining experience and kicking back with the crew. 

There’s nothing worse than 4th of July without smoke, spice, or something deep-fried. Opt for a flavour explosion with the smoky scent of slow-cooked ribs hanging in the air, the clink of cold craft beers in hand, and the buzz of live music swirling around you. Surly’s American Tavern brings all that Southern charm straight to Surry Hills. Experience the best of American cuisine with juicy pulled pork, crispy fried chicken, and that authentic Ole Hickory smoker magic.  

Celebrate the 4th of July with a true taste of Southern American hospitality at Le Bon Ton. Step inside this Collingwood hotspot where the smoky aroma of pit-smoked BBQ fills the air, mingling with the lively sounds of jazz and blues. Feast on crispy fried chicken, tender ribs, and bold, smoky flavours that evoke the spirit of New Orleans right here in Melbourne. Sip on a classic Hurricane cocktail or an American craft beer in the fairy-lit courtyard - the perfect setting to honour Independence Day with style and soul. 

At Bluestone American BBQ, the smoky allure of traditional U.S. barbecue meets Latin American zest. Chef Alvaro Malel infuses his Uruguayan heritage into classics like yearling beef short ribs and pit-braised pulled lamb, creating a fusion that's both familiar and exhilarating. With mid-week happy hours featuring $10 cocktails and $1 wings, and bottomless weekends that promise a feast you’ll yearn for time and time again, it's the perfect spot to celebrate the 4th of July with a flavourful twist. 

Cutlery is optional at Dexter. Known for its unapologetically indulgent menu, this Melbourne smokehouse does American BBQ with a rebellious twist. Think hot meat donuts (yes, really), sticky lamb ribs, and bone marrow mash that will have you missing a home you’ve never been to. It’s moody, it’s messy, it’s perfect for July 4th feasting. Top it off with a bourbon and get ready to eat like you're celebrating freedom like it’s a sport.
