"This Capitol Hill whiskey bar does more than serve top shelf Kentucky bourbon shots, though that’s what most people are here for. Barrel also makes a juicy, peppery burger that we can’t get enough of. The barrel burger has your typical lettuce, onion, and pickles. But also a fontal cheese and herb mayo that tastes more like a garlic aioli (yes, please). It’s a little bougie, but still pretty basic (just like us), and is one of the few places on the Hill where you can escape both staffers and tourists." - tristiana hinton, omnia saed
