I was looking for an after party spot after my friend's wedding in Burlingame and this was the perfect spot on the way back to their hotel. When I called, they were super welcoming and told us that they would be able to accommodate us. If the party was too big, they said they could host us in their back patio area. I loved how flexible they were.
The cocktail menu was very creative and the drinks were delicious. They also had wine and beer to accommodate all preferences. They also served empanadas all night long, so that was a really great option for anyone who had the munchies.
I got a round of shots and they were super nice to create a custom one for us. They even gave the bride and groom a complimentary drink to toast. It was such a wonderful and celebratory atmosphere. Thank you for making it memorable for us.

As an events manager at a local business, Barrelhouse is the go-to for post-office drinks and receptions. We always get good reviews and people love the ambiance, refined aesthetic, excellent drink options, and reliable service. Will be back soon.

Truly terrible service and average, at best, drinks. Its amazing this place is still in business. Probably wouldn't be if there was a single other cocktail bar in Burlingame.

Never had a bar service experience like this. On April 14 we walked in and there were 2 bartenders and 2 guys sitting at the bar. Bartender #1 was preoccupied trying to make the slowest drink possible for the 2 guys. Bartender #2 was sitting on her phone. We waited for 10 min, then we finally made eye contact with #2. She swiftly looked away and we left. Quite an operation being run there, must really hate a money or a work.

This is a really cool place, with some amazing cocktails. The espresso martini is getting some popular views on social media these days. It is a beautiful drink. I found it a little sugar though. It has a very fun vibe in the atmosphere, here is great.

Wonderful drinks, service, and atmosphere! Bartenders Kat and Hannah wowed us with their cocktail expertise—the horse trainer daughter is a must try! We will be back again soon

Has everything. Drinks, vibe and empanadas! Been here many times. In door and outdoor options. Not too loud.
Cocktails are fun. They have a holiday menu too right now. The menu makes it easy to choose with drawings of each. Only draw back is the ice inside is huge soo not as much drink as you think.
The vibe is my fave. Open and chic. Enough seating.
The Empanadas are good. One per order. Chicken, beef, mushroom option.
Staff is chill and always attentive.

I couldn't be happier with The Barrelhouse Bar. It's a great local watering hole where friends go to be together. I have held four private parties in back over the past few years, and they all turn out better than the last one. This past week, the Burlingame High School classes of 1973 & 1974 met for a pre-reunion get together before our big 50th reunion on Saturday. The staff is terrific and very attentive, helping out in any way. Rachael, the Events coordinator is very easy to work with. I would highly recommend The Barrelhouse Bar whether for any small gatherings or just meeting a couple of friends.
Barrelhouse Burlingame offers great cocktails and a lively bar scene

We went to gave some drinks as it is open till late in Burlingame downtown. The bar has good outdoor seatings. It is bit congested and noisy around. Drinks were good but service was bit slow and messed up with order confusion. Overall decent place to hangout with friends.

Solid cocktails but every cocktail overflowed on the pour due to ice or something and the glass was sticky. Literally every cocktail

One of my favorite bars in the city and that’s mostly because of the wonderful staff working here. They’re funny, personable, and really great at what they do. Special shoutout to Thiago for being such an amazing bartender and human, watching him work the bar is like watching magic. (Pro tip: can’t go wrong with the mushroom empanada and a green tea shot)

Came here for a post convention social event, and the space was lovely, albeit small. The drinks were amazingly tasty, would love to come back here when in town.
Great drinks, great venue, super friendly staff.
