Liberty Station American Tavern & Smokehouse is set to open in April next to Home 2 Suites at 2161 Rimrock Road.

The restaurant is the result of a partnership between Keeler Hospitality Group, which has two Liberty Station restaurants in Scottsdale, Arizona, and Madison-based North Central Group, which also owns the Home 2 Suites hotel.

This will be the first Liberty Station American Tavern & Smokehouse in the Midwest, and the second BBQ restaurant to open locally since December, when Doc’s Smokehouse opened in the former Granite City space at West Towne Mall.
