Barrel 21 Distillery and Dining

Excellent atmosphere, good appetizers (the chili lime french fries were quite spicy); however, it does not take much for me to reach my spice Limit. The Barrell Burger was awesome. First ever ribeye blend burger I had, and the bacon was top of the line and nice n crispy on the edges. My boss had the Delmonico Steak and loved it.

Drinks here are amazing. We were there for Sunday brunch and the food was delicious.

Always a great dinner. Inventive cocktails and the service is always good.

Great experience overall, but the lights above our section kept turning off and on every few minutes. They eventually got it to stop, but it was quite annoying/distracting while it was happening.

Service was horrible. Once seated we sat for 15 mins without anyone greeting us and offering drinks. Staff continue to walk past and no one made eye contact or offered to help. After 15 mins in disbelief, we walked out.

We really enjoy this place and have never had a bad experience. Only a couple minor things kept it from being 5 stars. Things like not having an updated menu on the website. If I could give it 4.5 I would. Will definitely go again.

The area was hit with 6 inches of snow. I walked over to Barrel 21 and was the only customer crazy enough to go there while it was snowing still. (More diners came in once the snow abated.) Friendly server/bartender. I tried the Keywaydin Hard Cider, which was good and went great with the Barrel Burger (Ribeye burger which is ground in house, brown sugar, & balsamic caramelized onions, bacon, muenster, roasted garlic aioli on a potato roll) and the truffle fries (Fries topped with parmesan cheese and served with a parmesan truffle aioli.). The burger really had a steak flavor to the meat, and the bacon had a nice smoke to it, not the cheap stuff the fast food places serve that looks like it was sitting around for a while. I was visiting the area from a few hours away, otherwise, I would definitely be back again, probably to get the burger again since it was so good! Parking: Plenty of parking for Barrel 21 and their sister restaurant, Otto's Pub next door.
