Blue Pit BBQ in Baltimore is a craft barbecue & whiskey bar that features award-winning outdoor seating, an upstairs dining room & full bar with over 100 American whiskeys. Aficionados of smoked meats will find this laid-back hangout just east of Charm City's Druid Hill Park, where a deep menu of scratch-made sides and slow-cooked meats awaits. The keyword is "craft," as in hand-crafted, from the cocktails to the sauces.
They take their name from their beloved "Pits"--their barbecue pit and their loyal blue pit bull. They are big-time supporters of their hometown, and they host fundraisers for their community, including partnering with nonprofits and organizations like BARCS, SPCA, Moveable Feast, STNL, plus many other dedicated groups working to help make Baltimore better. Their dog-friendly back patio always welcomes well-behaved pups with water bowls, a dog selfie board (say what! This we must see), treats, and special gifts for your four-legged friend. They'll help you out with your special event, whether it's a wedding reception or an office party. They even cater events and host whiskey tastings.
To help spread their unique brand—like a smooth barbecue sauce over a pulled pork sandwich—they chose a kiss cut sticker in a rectangular shape, perfect for a vehicle bumper or a work locker. You can see in their design that they highlight the core attributes of the establishment: barbecue, whiskey and dogs, and they wrap up the design in the familiar equation format, which equals their logo. The logo itself, as a standalone piece of art has a red dog paw on it and the name of the restaurant. This is a fun promotional sticker that will travel well with their loyal customers, and the outdoor durability of the product will help their message stand up over time.
