Every Sunday this past summer, the Pool Parties hosted free concerts in WIlliamsburg, Bklyn. After one such concert my friends and I went to D.B.A, a bar with a great selection of beers, and in the summer, Sunday barbeque. Past the long wooden bar, which has 16 taps, and outside on to the patio, we were greeted by a man in a t-shirt, apron and chef's hat behind a plastic fold-up tables with various coolers on top and a grill on his left. Because we had gotten out of the concert late, most of the food was gone, but nonetheless we managed to grab some delicious grub.

A friend who had been here previously raved about the oysters and we were able to nab the last of them. I remeber the barbecue sauce was not as sweet as I expected, maybe because of the scallions garnished on top.

The beet salad was balanced. A natural sweetness from the beets, and sugary taste from candied pecans was countered by creamy goat cheese and the tang of cabbage.

Simple potato salad and fava bean salad was devoured. I don't remember the taste but I do know that we were all sad once we had consumed the dish before the waitress walked back inside.

The only thing left on the menu from the grill were their burgers. Pink onions, and jalapenos made this a delightful juicy mess. My friends who were over 21 raved about the beers on tap especially, one of my friend's IPA.

All in all a good post-concert meal.

Happy eating!
