Attended a private event here and enjoyed the atmosphere and layout of specifically the family-style bar tables so it was easy to strike up conversations with new people. The drinks were great and the staff was friendly and quick to help out. The party platter food was good and presented nicely.

Last night was my first, and last, time attending Jazz Open Mic Night at Brother Barrel.Everything seemed fine at first, but things quickly turned when the host persistently approached my friend who was considering performing last night. The host reiterated, not once or twice but multiple times, that my friend HAD to perform jazz if he wanted to be on stage. Mind you, the host had NEVER SEEN my friend perform and therefore had no reason or evidence to conclude that my friend would perform anything BUT jazz.When the host aggressively pursued my friend for a final time, he berated him with, "You have to perform jazz! It has to be jazz! It can't be rap!" And in that moment, you could sense the discomfort permeating the room.So, we left.If Brother Barrel stands by upholding prejudiced and discriminatory practices, then it will remain a place I refuse to return to.I highly encourage anyone looking for an inclusive environment to seek out the plethora of venues in the greater Seattle area.

Thursday night jazz at Brothers barrel was a delightful and friendly atmosphere.The lady at the bar was warm, and the happy hour menu is perfectly priced for a student's budget.Thank you for the evening, and I look Forward to visiting again for some jazz

So much potential but so poor in execution. Service has been headed downhill for a while. Beer selection also in decline.The host of the Thursday jam session really needs to realize he is not a singer and stick to sax which he does well.

**An honest and unfettered review** Does Brother Barrel bring all three customer service experiences together? Some places have great food. Some places have great beer. Some places have great service. Rarely does a place bring it all together.When you walk into Brother Barrel the staff members welcome you as if you’re skiing into your favorite Auntie or Unc’s home. With Jenna leading the way and the rest of the wonderful staff it’s impossible to not have a great experience unless you’re legitimately just a big curmudgeon poopy pants sour puss!

What a friendly venue! Great food, drinks, and Jazz Open Mic Night attracts amazing musicians as well as a tap dancer who is also on staff! So much fun.
