Went here for brunch. The food was so good! Got the honey butter chicken biscuit and that honey butter was delicious. Also did the brunch fried rice which was good and well seasoned. The bottomless deal is good where it is $28 per person and they leave a champagne bottle and juice at the table so you can make your own. Service was great as well as they were super attentive.

Barrel is an awesome Capitol Hill spot! Huge whiskey selection, creative cocktails, and tasty Southern-style comfort food. Loved the fried chicken biscuit at brunch and the lively but laid-back vibe. Friendly staff and fair prices — definitely worth a visit.

Stay away from this place -- unless you love whiskey (or whisky), good pub food, tiptop bar staff, and a nice relaxed vibe. Pretty sure you'd hate the joint if you don't tick a few of the boxes above 😎
