Mark Windheim, left, and Phil Spencer have opened
Smoked Bones BBQ on Pier 11. Among their added flair
are chairs decorated with T-shirts, some from downtown
shops like Metal Head and events like Astoria Pride.
Barbecue has returned to
Pier 11 Mall in Astoria.
Phil Spencer and Mark
Winheim have opened Smoked
Bones BBQ in the space for-
merly occupied by Bruce
McBride’s barbecue restaurant
Rollin’ Thunder from 2006
until its closure in December.
Spencer, the self-described
pit and sauce boss of Smoked
Bones, previously worked at
Baked Alaska and had been
planning a butcher shop. Grow-
ing up going to barbecues gave
him an affinity for the classic pit-
style barbecue that he wanted to
share with Astoria, he said.
The barbecue, from ribs
and brisket to chicken, is dry

Under state law, the attorney

so under Democrats’ new plan.

Winheim said the duo were
tipped off by next-door neigh-
bor Rich Ewing, owner of the
Inferno Lounge, about the
space opening up. The pier, a

neurs George Brugh and Dar-
rell Davis, has played host
to a rotating cast of restau-
rants, now including Smoked
Bones, the Inferno Lounge
and Ewing’s Pier 11 Pizza.
Along with food service pro-
vider Sysco and Fort George
Brewery, Winheim previously
worked for former Pier 11 eat-
ery Cecil’s Trolley Stop Grill.
Brugh sold the property in
2014 to Stephen and Karen
Allen, co-owners of nearby
Astoria Brewing Co. The
Allens and their children have
fixed up suites and added a
collection of antique dealers to
the building’s central walkway.
“Those two have really
breathed life into the entire
property,” Winheim said of the
Allens.
Democrats propose amendments to
Constitution on health care, housing
