About The American Bourbon Bar & Grill

Springwood tucks away a genuine slice of Americana loaded with slow-cooked brisket, towering burgers, and serious moonshine. Step inside and the vintage automotive signs immediately set the tone for a hearty diner meal. Regulars point to the 18-hour smoked brisket and tender baby back ribs—paired alongside warm slabs of sweet cornbread. The kitchen builds plates for serious appetites, from skillet-crisped sides to monstrous cheeseburgers stacked tall. Behind the bar, a dedicated spirits list showcases hard-to-find American ryes, whiskeys, and flavoured moonshine alongside icy pints. Finish the evening over warm house-baked cherry pie or a snickerdoodle cookie fresh from the oven.

  • Authentic Barbecue Cuts: Tender 18-hour brisket, full racks of baby back ribs, and skillet-style cornbread anchor the smokehouse menu.
  • Curated Spirits Library: A dedicated back-bar features rare American bourbons, ryes, and multiple varieties of flavoured moonshines.
  • Oversized Diner Plates: Supersized cheeseburgers, generous steak cuts, and piled baskets deliver serious diner portions.

    Generously stacked diner burgers and plates arrive in massive, satisfying portions that offer remarkable value.

    The wings were succulent and the burgers we got were juicy and supersized (biggest cheeseburger I've ever had!) with crispy chips on the side.

    Steven was kind enough to accomodate our late booking for 15 people for my nephews 18th. Right from the moment we arrived the lovely young girl (I'm sorry I can't remember your name) who greeted, seated then served us, was bubbly, attentive and efficient.
