The Barley Merchant Taproom & Kitchen

Asked for medium rare steak as it was written on menu, got it basically well done. Asked for a correction, kitchen redid the whole dish. Service was pretty minimal had to wait forever to catch the waiter’s attention. Then bill came and they charged me for 2 steaks. Got the extra steak taken off, then was sick for days after from eating here. Beers on tap were good that’s about all I have to say that’s positive.

Thanks Meghan P. for taking care of our group of 17! You did a fantastic job. Food was on point and service was top tier. Everyone had a great time.

This could possibly be one of the best meal and service I’ve had. Food is exceptional and beer is excellent. Our bartender Tawnee made great recommendations and offered beer pairings for our meals. She absolutely nailed it. If you’re in town, make this your stop.

Hands down the best meal I’ve had this year… and I just got back from Italy. Great service from tawnee, and compliments to the chef.

My favorite place in town. Makes the only old fashioned worth drinking.

Jackson was great! Always love the rotating beer on tap

We went for a special event with 14 - 16 adults. Food was great from what I tasted and heard from others. A few people who were 1st timers there were excited about the beer flights so they could try a few concoctions that sounded interesting to them rather than the old standard IPA or Lager. The only disappointment was the service this particular time. Iv been here before and service was great. This time though we felt a bit neglected. Admittedly we did arrive in groups of 2 or 3 over a 30 min time span, so it's harder for a server to get to everyone right when they sat. The issue was that the first couple groups ordered drinks and food before others arrived. As each new 2 or 3 arrived, the server wasn't as attentive to these new comers. It wasn't super busy, so it was surprising that some of us sat for 5 to 10 minutes with drink orders and then 15 to 20 min after that to order food. We did have a couple of other servers come by that we were able to ask for a fork or a water ect, but no one to take our orders. For those of us that have been before we can take this as a one off, but for those who went for the first time, it may be the last.

We had Arthur as a server and he was excellent. Very personable and kind. We got the Korean bbq burger, the soy ginger wings, ban mi sandwich and a few flights. Everything was delicious and fresh. 10/10

What a fantastic place to spend the evening for dinner! The atmosphere is perfect for a brewhouse and restaurant, the staff were friendly and attentive and great conversationalists, and the food and drink are - to be expected - phenomenal.

I got the Steak Frites and swapped out the normal fries for sweet potato fries and chipotle dip. Amazing stuff, everything is made to-order and nothing is wasted by the kitchen staff. Knowing that somehow makes everything taste better, realizing it wasn’t made to be put in a hot-box for anyone to order.

Stop by for a pint, a bite and a good time; you won’t regret it!

The chicken appetizer is delicious, the charcuterie board was a little bit disappointing. The chicken burger was too spicy for me but my fiance loved his, I'll go for something else next time, but the flavors were still yummy! Good gluten free options!!!
