When you sit down to enjoy a plate full of the best BBQ at the Lake of the Ozarks , you're going to need something to wash down all that deliciousness. A great big refreshing glass of iced tea always pairs perfectly with smoked BBQ but if you're more in the mood for an "adult" beverage, The Barn-B-Que has a fully stocked bar ready to take care of that. Here are a few of our suggestions for drinks from the bar that taste terrific with BBQ.  BEER By far, the most popular drink to enjoy alongside BBQ is an ice-cold beer.
