Smoke BBQ Restaurant & Bar, sporting a new chic barn look, officially opened its patio on St. Patrick's Day just in time for warmer weather.
"There's not many options here for outdoor dining in Newport News," general manager Dylan Recchia of Newport News said. "We're fulfilling a need in the community and expanding our seating capacity."
On Tuesday, hundreds of people, including green-wearing St. Patrick's Day revelers, filtered through Smoke's newly renovated interior and and lighted patio. The mostly-covered patio currently seats 50, including a lounge section with love seat and gas fireplace. The patio will soon be expanded to seat 70, Recchia said.
Warwick Boulevard neighbors PMA Architecture in Hilton Village designed the patio and oversaw the renovation.
"The idea that we had was to make it feel like a barn," said project architect Katie Stodghill, PMA co-owner with husband Jeff. "Because it's Smoke a cool, hip barbecue joint."
Taking out a partial wall gave the bar area more space while making the restaurant feel more open, showing off the reclaimed bar wood siding, reclaimed wood chairs and new worn-look tables. The new metal roof and open wood of the patio contributes to the barn feel.
The darker exterior paint and accents inside making it feel more "smoked," Stodghill said. Sliding red bar doors can close off a private dining room with a backlit Smoke sign on the barn paneling, she added.
The project was approved for $30,000 in facade improvement grant funding by the Newport News Economic Development Authority, which PMA helped Smoke apply for, Stodghill said.
Spain Construction in Newport News performed the recent work, co-owner Kathy Walters said. Steve and Kathy Walters opened Smoke in the former Bill's Seafood space at 10900 Warwick Blvd. on Dec. 29, 2011 after catering and participating in barbecue competitions.
Smoke LLC bought the property in November 2011 for $550,000, according to online city records. The business has been upgrading the property since.

A housewife whose maid ran away after just three months is suspicious the agency she came from is involved in some kind of scam.
PETALING JAYA: A housewife has suspicions that a maid agency operating here is allegedly aiding their Filipino maids who run away from their employers after just three months with them.
Speaking to FMT, Wong, 40, related her experience with her own Filipino maid, Ruth Balingo, 31 who ran away just three months after she started work in May 2014.
During her first month, she (Ruth) complained that she wanted to go back to her home because she could not cope with the job and missed her five children.
She begged me to send her back directly to the Philippines and not to tell the agency about it because if she returned there, she would have to work at another home.
However, Wong said she persuaded Ruth to stay with her as she had only worked three weeks and had yet to receive her first months salary. However, other issues soon cropped up.
I caught her on closed circuit television (CCTV) talking to herself and crying in the kitchen, Wong said, adding that Ruth looked like she was suffering from mental problems.
After three months, Ruth ran away while Wong was out on errands, yet upon calling the agency to inform them the next day, she was told that Ruth was with them.
I started to feel suspicious when they asked me if I wanted another maid, Wong said and added that the agency informed her she would have to fork out the full payment because the warranty period was over.
They explained that during the three month warranty period employers were allowed to change their maid if they were not satisfied with the services or request for a new maid if the one with them had run away.

Is agency aiding maids who run away?
March 19, 2015 - Major League Soccer (MLS) East Hanover, N.J. and New York, NY (March 19, 2015) - More big names are coming to Major League Soccer this season - and they're hungry to get in on the action.
Mondelz International, the maker of OREO, RITZ, TRIDENT, HONEY MAID and SOUR PATCH KIDS, today announced a multi-year deal to become the Official Snacks of MLS. The sponsorship bolsters the brands' presence in the sport as they enter the second year of the #PassTheLove campaign, a fully integrated program to help spread the passion for soccer coast to coast.
"MLS has played an enormous role in the explosion of soccer in America, and we're excited about how this great league and its fans can help us #PassTheLove," said Stephen Chriss, Senior Director, North America Consumer Engagement and Marketing Services at Mondelz International. "Our MLS sponsorship opens even more avenues to reinforce how our snacks increase the fun of soccer whether you're at the stadium, watching on TV or playing the game."
The designation of Official Snacks of MLS extends to the cookie, candy, cracker and gum categories and will be inclusive of a series of globally-recognized brands operated by Mondelz International, including: OREO, CHIPS AHOY, RITZ, WHEAT THINS, HONEY MAID, NEWTONS, BELVITA, TRIDENT, DENTYNE, STRIDE and SOUR PATCH KIDS, among others.
The deal with MLS includes all forms of media, retail, shopper marketing, consumer promotions, PR and social media. The sponsorship includes rights to activate at the AT&T MLS All-Star Game and MLS Cup, MLS' championship game, and to align with current players and other league ambassadors. Deal terms were negotiated in conjunction with CAA Sports Consulting (on behalf of Mondelz International) and Soccer United Marketing.
An Exciting Opportunity
MLS has kicked off its 20th season with more momentum than ever, including new national television and media rights partnerships, expansion clubs in key markets including New York and Orlando, and scheduling changes to increase fan excitement and anticipation as teams compete to win MLS Cup.
Mondelz International recognizes the enormous potential to leverage the league's growing stature with a broad range of consumers - including multicultural audiences - whether it's in-store or through innovative digital media executions.
"By tapping into the excitement surrounding MLS and soccer, we're giving our snack brands amazing opportunities to appeal to moms, dads, teens and athletes in their communities," said Chriss. "And this sponsorship strengthens our relevance with multicultural consumers, many of whom love soccer and identify with brands like ours who have made an authentic, long-term commitment to the sport."
"It's always great to partner with companies that have a true passion for soccer, and Mondelz International understands the potential of our league and our sport to resonate with consumers and fans," said David Wright, Senior Vice President, Global Partnerships, Soccer United Marketing. "Unveiling this new sponsorship with globally recognized brands is yet another great way to begin our 20th season."
