Dr. J's Bbq & Brews In 1858 the building which is now “The Montreal House” was built on the corner of King and Almer Streets for Dr. John Harvey and his son Dr. Alexander Harvey.

Serving the Kawarthas and beyond, our catering team serves up TRUE Award-winning Southern BBQ style smoked meats, done on our smokers with maple & apple woods & signature rubs. In 1870 the building was sold and a boarding house was established . According to the archives, by 1883, The Montreal House was Peterborough’s first “Public House” serving beverages to the citizens of Peterborough and offe

ring room and board on the second floor. With the plethora of bars in Peterborough, it is our goal to reimage The Montreal House as Dr. J’s BBQ and Brews. Dr. J’s will be in keeping with the history of the building by naming it after the original owner. Southern BBQ (smoked) is a growing trend in Canada (CRFA). By bringing a unique menu, with a rapidly growing taste profile to Peterborough. This profile will be based on foods smoked throughout the South-eastern USA and Texas. The Southern BBQ platform is a fun and messy eating experience! Big baskets of food served with side plates and a bucket for the bones with a roll of paper towels on the table. With the fall off the bone texture and flavour smoking provides, it is the ultimate finger food!

To all of our valued guests and friends,

It is with mixed emotions that we announce we are moving from the historic Montreal House, our home since 2014, to the grounds of our sister restaurant Chemong Lodge; located at the corner of Hatton Avenue & Hunter Street in Bridgenorth. This Sunday, June 23rd will be our last service at our Aylmer location. Please note that all Dr J’s gift cards will continue to be honoured at our new location, and all upcoming catering bookings will continue seamlessly.

What started as our family’s love for great BBQ, grew into a thriving establishment that welcomed tens of thousands of guests, and employed many wonderful people over the years. We are humbled that so many of you embraced our food and want to thank you for making Dr J’s Alymer St. one of the most awarded restaurants in Peterborough. We are proud to have had the honour of serving you and your families for 10 amazing years!

While saying goodbye to our beloved home on Alymer Street will be hard and heartfelt, we look forward to very exciting new beginnings in Bridgenorth- just an 8 minute drive from the North end of Peterborough, to serve you the same great BBQ with a much-improved view!

Stay tuned for new summer menus, our Smokers on the Road, and Dr J’s summer pop-ups at some of your favourite local events!

Dr J’s on the lake, here we come!!!
