Calling all sweet bros! El San Juan Resort and Casino down in Puerto Rico has announced the launch of the very first Brother Jimmy's BBQ outside of NYC. Translation: legend...wait for it...dary.

The South Carolina barbecue joint (slash fratty, fratty bar-like hangout) opened its doors to the sweet bros of the non-NYC world on September 6th to position itself as the ideal place for eager San Juan-er's to kick off the football season. The 220-seat rooftop hotspot boasts a Backyard Movie House, "Swamp Water" Cocktail Bar, a mechanical bull and 22 HD flatscreens.

No, did you read that? A mechanical bull. Did someone say brodeo?

We're not going to lie: fratty digs aside, this sounds awesome. The place is open 7 days a week (true legends never rest, natch), and as far as libations go, they've got all the sick bro's covered: the Swamp Water Bar is named such because it serves something called swamp water fishbowls, pitchers of margaritas and what the official press release calls "the extremely excessive trash can punch."

Oh, right, the BBQ part. For game-watching (or post trash can punch nom-noms), the kitchen is cooking up southern faves like Corn Fritters, Fried Green Tomatoes, Stuffed Jalapenos, Biscuits & Gravy, and Dry Rub Ribs.

But back to the drinks for a second. We've got to take a moment to mention that back in our college days, we used to hit up a fratty bar that served drinks in fishbowls, too. And they packed no less than 14 shots in each bowl -- and judging by the damage those babies caused, godspeed to all of you on that mechanical bull, bros.
