About The Barrel

The Barrel is a friendly and welcoming locals' bar with a cozy atmosphere. The establishment features live music, TVs, a big bar, tables, and electronic dart boards. The staff is warm and inviting, making guests feel at home, while the prices remain reasonable, including a happy hour from 3 pm to 7 pm (drinks only). The menu offers a variety of options, with the teriyaki wings being some of the best in town—big and juicy. Recent reviews highlight the delicious food and great appetizers, with special mentions of the 2 for $5 tacos on Tuesday, which are awesome and huge. While the chicken basket has received mixed reviews, with some finding it just average, the overall experience is praised for its laid-back and chill atmosphere. With huge changes under new ownership, The Barrel has become a great spot for a casual night out, with tons of activities like karaoke and live music, making it easy to enjoy a fun evening close to home.

We have gone there maybe 20 times total and always order the same thing to drink, bourbon and Diet Coke in a tall glass. (One shot) tonight my husband had 5 drinks and I had 1 and a pizza and fries. Our bill was $76. The bartender said she had made us doubles. This is the second time this has happened. We order tall glasses to dilute the bourbon taste. The drinks were not strong at all. If she was filling the drinks with doubles, then they’re watering down their alcohol. 10...read full review
