The Barrel is one of our favorite go-to spots for a craft beer in Estes Park, so when it came time to pick a venue for our rehearsal dinner, renting a room here was an obvious choice. And I'm so glad we did, because the night was perfect! Ian was a pleasure to work with. We met with him a few times on the phone leading up to the event to go over options, timing, and logistics. He was always so kind and thorough, we really appreciated the attention to detail! He made sure that we could play our own music playlist and helped coordinate the food setup from the caterers. He and his team really went above and beyond in ensuring we felt comfortable and cared for - and the event turned out better than we could've imagined!

My wife and I are from out of state and while visiting family we took a trip to Estes Park and found The Barrel. We had a lot of fun and the place was very inviting. I enjoyed talking with one of the owners who was also bartending at the time. We had a couple of beers and played some pool and Skeech. We left The Barrel happy but unbeknownst to me I had accidently left my drivers license there on the bar. I didn't find out I had left it there until I was at the airport getting ready to go through the TSA check in. After several panicked monuments and hard thought I realized my mistake. Luckily I had a second photo ID with me. I called The Barrel and they had it safe and secure behind the bar. I asked them to mail it to me and they graciously did. What a great establishment, I am definitely going to visit The Barrel again next time I am in the area.

Hands down one of the coolest bars I've ever been too. Drinks were incredible, and options were endless. The staff was so good to hang around and was so nonchalantly attentive. This place is exactly what Estes needed.Vegetarian options: Plenty of options!Kid-friendliness: Plenty of games to play and very wide open area. Easy place to keep a watchful eye on them.Wheelchair accessibility: Easy to get in and out of

I really enjoyed my time here! So many drink options and I liked my cider. Staff was friendly and helped me quickly. There seems to be food trucks here but no food served. It is dog friendly as there were many allowed inside due to the cold temps! Tons of board games, tvs and seating. I plan to return next time I'm in the area!

Beer, cider, and a full bar, but no food. Food truck nearby. Seem to be a lot of locals. No menu or menu board, strictly online. I would definitely go again, but I think I would like to explore some other places in Estes Park before I go back.
The food truck wasn't there when we were there, but the service (Chris/ Barntender) was great. They are dog friendly inside and we love that for our pups. The beer selection is great and we will love hanging out here. One of our go to spots in estes!

We booked our rehearsal dinner at the Barrel and had a minimum we had to meet, which was easy. We split the spot with another wedding party which was totally fine and it was such a great vibe. The bar tenders were thoughtful and asked us if we could put shots on the tab which we appreciate it. They also gave us an area to set up the catering. Overall, such a fun night and low-key before our big day.

I went to a pre-wedding party here and had a great time! The staff members were super friendly and helpful. There were so many wonderful beer and wine choices! What really made my day were the non-alcohol beer selections! I have been alcohol free for three years and it's hard to fit in at a cocktail party. But here, I had the most delicious nonalcoholic juicy IPA recommended by the bartender. It's the little things like this that delight customers!

Showed up on a Saturday at 5pm. No food truck even though they were supposed to have WestTex. Inside was closed for private event. False advertising - update your FB if there are changes! Very disappointed!!
Great beer selection and nice outdoor seating.
