With the constant downpour of rain lately, a blue sky was a calling. A calling to get into the car and drive east to the latest addition to the North Texas barbecue scene,

After a year or so that must have felt like a comedy of errors to owners Jacob and Lindsay Sloan, On Rotation has finally moved into The Braniff Centre on Lemmon Avenue. The brewpub originally opened in the Lakewood area in 2015, but needed to find new digs.
