   The Barrel Bar was a very cool experience. It is a small intimate environment where we met 4 strangers and became friends. The space seats 6. The bartender was amazing and our drinks were delicious. We had a charcuterie board which that was a nice appetizer.

   Not well organized. Our reservation was canceled by the restaurant on the day of our reservation with little explanation. When I called the number to confirm I would get my deposit back the person who answered the phone had never heard of The Barrel Bar.

   I'm not much of a reviewer but ... when it comes to cocktails and customer service this place is tops. So unique. There is a shared table so go in to make friends and Patrick was on top of service. Like I'm willing to make a recommendation and I don't normally do this is that good

   The “underground” space was setup nice with a cool speakeasy vibe. Our bartender was friendly and interacted well with the six of us. The concept is great but the drinks are not as individualized as you think. The drinks were unique and very complex. We were offered 8-10 different drinks, ranging from $24 - $86. If you like sweet drinks, sorry not the place for you. Very limited options if you want to sway from the drink menu. The hors d'oeuvres plate was a simple charcuterie board. Overall we had a fun and unique experience but not sure it’s worth the money!

   High-end cocktails and an exclusive VIP vibe in a secret downtown location. Great for a special occasion. Only 6-seats, so very private. Prepaid reservation includes a $25 per person drink credit. Drinks are pricy starting at about $25 and going up to $80+.

   Great experience, great style, great atmosphere with wonderful drinks that were prepared with great thought and ingredients. The Barrel Bar provided charcuterie type of foods to go along the experience. We look forward to returning in the fall season.

   This was an exceptional experience. The drinks were amazing. Patrick and William are fantastic bartenders and the small guest size makes the experience feel very personal. I would recommend this to anyone!

    When it comes to originality and ambience, it was a great experience. It felt overpriced however and the quality of the food left a lot to be desired. Cocktails were excellent and the stories behind them were interesting. It can feel a little awkward but with the right group, I think it’s fun and something worth experiencing at least once.
