Thought this place would be great based off the reviews and it didn't turn out to be what I expected. The service was amazing, we sat by the big screen projector and the bartender, I think her name started with a T was super lovely. I'd probably give less stars however her attentiveness, kindness and attitude was excellent. The place was nice and clean, and tv set up is good. they do allow smoking and the vents work okay but it was pretty cold with air blowing towards the tables The food is the real reason for the stars. We ordered a meatball sandwich which tasted frozen and at the price would expect better, and a burger which was okay but nothing grand.

Love this place. Bartenders are awesome, food is always on point. Great place to watch the games. A great local hangout!

I stopped in here one day after having brunch with my friend's upstairs. One of my friend's comes in here with her husband. We went to have a couple more drinks & I'm a gambler so I wanted to play some video poker, actually all of us did. None of us won any money so not sure if their machines are always tight or I just wasn't lucky? LOLI LOVED how they were decorated for Halloween. I noticed this right as I walked in but I also noticed how strong of cigarette smoke that this place smelled of. It was bad, very stinky & strong. They should work on a better filtration system. The bartender was nice & greeted us right when we got there. My friend knew him but she was also there before meeting us upstairs with her husband as they went in to drink & gamble prior. The bartender gave us food menus, stuff looked good but we had just eaten so I didn't order anything. Place is very small inside but they had some good seltzer that I like and of course Tito's. I'd definitely give this place another try! I just wish it wasn't so stinky with cigarette smoke, mind you I use to be a smoker but it was just too much for me.

Omg. The food in this place is off the hook. Had the meatloaf sandwich. WOW. Now let's talk about the men's bathroom. I went to wash my hands and the water stays on for 1.2 seconds. I sucked to wash hands. The service was great. Bartender has a hard name to remember. He was very attentive to my crew. Here is the rose I left for him. Hey slick thanks for the good service. Might call him slick.

This is not your typical tavern. The food is freshly made and above par. And the prices are reasonable. Wonderful fish tacos, and a large choice of burgers. You can substitute a turkey or vegetarian burger. Food is hot when delivered, which is not usual in other places. Best onion rings I've ever had. I will be a regular.

This was our first time in Red Barrel, and we loved it. We were pleasantly surprised with the environment...there was NO SMOKEY smell...YAY! Emily T. was awesome, attentive, and friendly. We both had tacos; carnitas and cod. Great TV set up for sports. We will definitley be back.Parking was a slight issue. Many businesses sharing a very small parking lot.

Summary for the busy executive: Small. Clean. Boring. Slow. I feel a bit guilty leaving a lukewarm review of a place that most Yelpers seem to think highly of. But I just don't see the appeal of this little tavern. On the up-side: it's nicely decorated, with stone facade walls and Golden Knights banners. A large wall of tv screens is good for sports viewing. And it doesn't smell of cigarette smoke, which is a HUGE point in this place's favor here in the Vegas area, where smoky bars are still the norm. (Near the end of my time there, somebody started smoking. The place is tiny, so it was a bit unpleasant. But better than a lot of places in Vegas.)I'll also give the barmaid points for being friendly and warm. I watched her work very hard as the only server in the place, getting food orders, serving drinks, settling bills, and answering gamblers' questions about the video games. Despite these positives, the place has serious drawbacks.It really is tiny. There is a bar, and there is a side wing with nine small tables. That's it. So: they are strict about their gamers' only policy at the bar. I was asked to vacate the bar at a point where the place was nearly empty. I wasn't offended, but if you want to sit at a bar without playing video poker, this ain't the place. Next on the negative list was the speed. The service was painfully slow. I came for happy hour, arriving at 4:50 to a nearly empty bar. The barmaid was busy serving the few customers there, and so I sat there for fifteen minutes waiting for an initial greeting. She was apologetic, and the situation was understandable. But it was slow. Then there was was more waiting. She came back to take my order ten minutes later. Food (a single appetizer) took another 20 minutes. So what I hoped would be a quick happy hour beer and snack turned into a full hour outing, of which about 20 minutes was actually consuming, and 40 minutes was waiting. Logistics are a challenge here. Happy hour is $8 for appetizers and $1 off all drinks. That would be great if the menu gave you prices on the beer. But it doesn't. So I didn't know how much I was paying for my beer+appetizer until the bill came. The pricing was totally fine. Draught beer ended up being $5, plus the $8 appetizer. Food was forgettable, but plentiful. I had a chicken quesadilla, which was definitely worth the price (tons of food), but nothing particularly to recommend. Just solid, inoffensive bar food. In short:In a town with endless pub options, this one is fine if you find yourself here, but there is no reason to seek this place out.

Horrible experience. Was asked rudely to clean up after ourselves over an accident that could have happened to anyone. No we were not being disorderly or rude in any way. Before being asked to clean we were already on it cleaning up our accident. However Tina with her horrible service and attitude, did not make sure everyone was okay, let alone offer any type of help. Then followed to tell everyone in our group of the incident. After I called her out on her horrible service and lack of empathy she kicked us out!!! So someone please get TINA some service training very much needed. Not that I would ever find myself in this place.
Tina was unprofessional, gossiping about us to other clients while we weren't there and should not be working there if she hates customers.

It smells of Smoke and death. Not my kinda vibe. We had one round of drinks out of respect. Won't come back. If you smoke Cigarettes ?, have at it.
