Broken Barrel Bar is a lively restaurant and bar that provides a good atmosphere for watching live sports and enjoying a variety of beers. The patio area is spacious, with large tables set at a comfortable distance, making it a popular spot for groups and pet owners. The staff is friendly and attentive, often bringing out a bowl and a "pup cup" for dogs, and offering great drink specials, especially during happy hour.
Recently, the menu has seen updates, and guests have enjoyed dishes like cauliflower bites, roasted Brussels sprouts, and cheese curds. The steak sandwich and new cocktail, Autumn Cider Sangria, have also received positive reviews. The extensive beer list is a highlight, and the service is described as excellent and caring.
The atmosphere can sometimes be crowded and noisy, which may make conversation difficult. Seating consists of high chairs without back support, which might be uncomfortable for some. While the food has mixed reviews—some favorites include mac & cheese and truffle Parmesan fries, but others found wings and waffle fries disappointing—the overall experience offers a vibrant sports bar environment. It is a good place for those looking to relax, watch sports, and enjoy good drinks, even if the food quality varies.
