Barrel 33

What a beautiful place. The ambience and the atmosphere is all very high-end and rustic. Some beautiful items for sale like quality candles, shirts, some humorous sayings on their beer cans, rustic jewelry, Huckleberry jelly, etc. Bill took great care of us. I had a flight of wine and let him choose my tastings and they were lovely. He even treated me to an extra tasting because I wasn’t sure I’d like the one with less tannins‘s. Very knowledgeable. And also a lot of wine for sale. Then we ordered the cauliflower bites with the buffalo sauce and it was cooked perfectly. Nice thin coating of batter and they baked it so it was nice and crunchy and healthier than the fried version. Some fun seating so you can look out the window and enjoy some people watching. Nice large outdoor patio as well. Joanne was very helpful and kind as well. Highly recommend!

Our Server was a very lovely lady. Explain and provided amazing quality information that we ordered. Complied with allergies and made our dining experience fabulous!

This is another really great place to stop and enjoy or drink. If you're walking around the downtown big bear area, it's a great wine bar with lots of great drinks on tap beer cider, everything you can get also with great little products for sale, great seating area outside that enjoy your drink and watch the world go by 2 do some people watching Overall, it's just a great place.

Great staff who welcomed us to a unique place! They had a very yummy, soft giant pretzel (and we’re pretzel snobs) that is now one of our favorite places to get a giant pretzel. They had live music Saturday night with a great singer. A fun place to try good food and drinks and unwind with friends and family. They also had a refrigerated section with imported ciders/brews/wine from other countries and states. Thank you for a great experience!!

A must visit place. Wine and beers are amazing and they have great food bites. The help is fantastic too. Super friendly.

Loved the vibe and great wine selection. Went here Sunday night and it was basically one girl running the front of the house the rest of the night (the other staff was in the kitchen etc) and she handled the crowd really well. I live in San Diego and bartenders/waiters can barely handle 3 people on a “busy night”. Regardless, I loved the wine selection and the owner was a nice/welcoming gentleman.

Live music, wine and beer. We were told about this place when we booked our Zipline adventure (another must try!), We were happy to have gone here, everyone was inviting, great atmosphere, good crowd, beers were really good. They did have outdoor space as well. Definitely a good spot to visit when in town, though I don't doubt there's a lot of locals there, Id be there I were closer.

In a town flooded with beer, this wine tasting room stands out. Friendly service, great selection and a vibe that screams "island time". Highly recommend the 5 wine flight where you can keep the glass. Ample seating with every type of chair plus couches. They even have a patio. Kenzie is the best!!!

Barrel 33 in Big Bear Lake is a great spot to enjoy a wine and beer flight. The atmosphere is cozy and inviting, perfect for a relaxing evening. They offer a diverse selection of wines and beers, allowing you to sample a variety of flavors. The staff is knowledgeable and friendly, often providing insights into each drink. It's a fantastic place to unwind and discover new favorites.

Barrel 33 staff is awesome! My granddaughter and her boyfriend got engaged last week so my husband and I wanted to do something special for them. We don't live nearby so I wanted to use DoorDash. Unfortunately, they wouldn't deliver to my kids' address. After a couple of conversations with Joanne (she's amazing!) trying to figure out how to get it delivered, she offered to deliver it herself on her way home. The newly betrothed couple got the wine and charcuterie platter and absolutely loved it! Thanks again Joanne for making my family feel so special!

Great staff, really excellent wines. Definitely recommend the tasters. One of the best wine tasting experiences I've had. Ambience of the place is really nice. Upscale place and I am definitely looking forward to going back.

While walking around the village in Big Bear Lake, we came across this wine tasting room and restaurant. I had been searching for a new wine decanter and I found one here. It is a very unique one but allows the wine to really open up and breathe due to its circular design. This place offers wine, beer and cider tasting, tasty food that comes from fresh, local ingredients, wines from regional vendors and a curated retail shop. It is family owned and has been open since 2017. Although we did not stay to wine taste or eat I do intend to come back as all the food looked very savory and delicious. There is a lovely patio out back for warm weather dining and wine tasting. Staff were helpful and efficient at check out and I really have enjoyed my new wine decanter. See you next time Barrel 33!

We arrived in Big Bear around dinner time but decided to order in instead of going out. We had Barrel 33 delivered. I had the prosciutto salad, and my wife had the Mediterranean flatbread. The flat read was delicious and came with a nice side salad. The prosciutto salad was amazing. Fresh greens, sun-dried tomatoes, and a sweet balsamic reduction as dressing with a big buratta and prosciutto. We were so impressed with the quality of the food that we took a trip over to the restaurant to check it out and have some more of their food. The restaurant is half wine bar/tasting room and half restaurant. There's a few tables, several bar counters, and several seating areas with couches and chairs. The staff was super friendly and helpful with any wine or beer you're looking for. The food was amazing, again. We got a charcuterie board, bacon wrapped dates, and a wine flight. Delicious We'll be back.

Nice little spot in downtown Big Bear village. Staff was super friendly. Love the small town vibes. Very welcoming in there. I tried a sangria flight and the Tinto wine was my favorite one. Dan took care of us and broke down the story behind each wine she gave me. I would highly recommend this place if you're in the village.

This was absolutely the best experience! Go see Joanne she has the best personality and she knows her WINE!! Entire Barrel 33 family was amazing and definitely a 10/10!

Joanne is absolutely amazing and made the most of our visit. My girlfriend and I both had the wine flight of 5 and received a free wine glass. Its been so much fun and we just want to thank Joanne for such an amazing experience. Fantastic vibes live music and great ambience!

We came in for some wine tasting and this is the only wine bar in the entire Big Bear. Place is very spacious with two rooms and quite cozy. They serve a good varieties of food. We did a few rounds of tastings along with lunch / snack food. I liked all the whites especially rose. Hubby liked his Cabernet as usual. Flatbread, cheese plate, olives and burrata salad were fresh and delicious. Our bartenders were so friendly and pleasant the entire time. They had good knowledge of the wines. We bought a couple bottles home of course. I was glad that the wine tasting experience was so much fun and relaxing the same time. We will definitely stop by this place next time we are in town!

This place was a nice find. It was a bit loud in the the immediate area where the bar is, but outback on the patio it was nice. Lulu was awesome with our service. Food was great. I tried the sangria Flight which was yummy.

This is one of our favorite places on Big Bear. I forgot to make a review last time and couldn't do it in Idaho. The staff is amazing, the beers, wines, and ciders are amazing. I have had the large pretzel in the past and it's amazing. This time my wife and I ordered the chicken brie with sweet potato fries. The service was great and the sandwiches were great. This place is worth visiting, just for some wine or beer. Every time we are in Big Bear we stop by.

Where do I begin?! My large group and I stumbled upon this place, only looking for shelter from the Big Bear storm last weekend. But we left with an experience we will never forget. We all shared some gorgeous wine and charcuterie, and oh boy, did we laugh! Our server (turned BFF), Joanna, gave us an unforgettably personal experience. She touched each and every one of our hearts. We also purchased some of her jewelry, which I will pass down to my kin. Beautiful wine and beautiful people. If you have the pleasure of going here, give Joanna a big big hug and a smooch for us!

Visited barrel 33 today and could not have had a better experience! Thank you Joanne for filling our day with fun and knowledge and literally cannot wait to come back! And our necklaces are so adorable... Great experience ! Made our day!

We are a large party from Hawaii and San Marcos walking into this warm and wonderful smelling venue showcasing wines, sweets and other delectable items! Located in Big Bear Village across from Super Mart and next to Dave's Whisky, we were enthusiastically welcomed by Joanne, a beauty in black hat with a pretty feather and sparkling smile. She was flying solo but with our large group she gave us the BEST service we've had in a very long time and that's saying something. That delicious smell that intrigued me upon entering was Gluhwein, a German version of hot toddy with cinnamon - piping hot which was perfect after our walk through the snow flurries and 31* temp. Feeling a little hungry, she has a nice menu to choose from - a variety to appease everyone's palate- from salads to flatbreads, giant pretzels with cheese and mustard, sweet potato fries, cauliflower puffs on the spicy side with dipping sauce, a beautiful charcuterie tray, grilled cheese and much more, plus sweets like carrot cake. My son's fiancee also ordered the wine flight with nice pours which we had fun passing around to try while sitting at one of the corner groupings which were comfortably placed throughout both sides of the shoppe. The ambience was casually elegant and quite cozy. We stayed for a couple of hours enjoying the selection of cool tunes Joanne had selected and Joanne kept checking in to make sure we were doing okay or to share some interesting tidbit of Big Bear history. Joanne is the gem of this gem of a wine shoppe and we shall return on our next trip to Big Bear. She also has selection of clothing, wine accessories, chocolates, sodas/juices and jewelry! Thank you sweet Joanne for all your gracious hospitality to our large group and toddler!

We were doing food scavenger hunt and this is one place we need to go. It's a restaurant and bar which was clean, organized and great menu selection. We were greeted by the owner beautiful woman. She assisted us with our complimentary food from our amazing fever big bear hunt. We got our charcuterie box. It was mixed nuts dried fruits salami prosciutto olives cheeses . It was worthy. Very nice place to visit in big bear.

Adore this place. In from Phoenix, so welcoming and Joanne was absolutely lovely!! 10 out of 10!

Dan the Ma'am is the best.... all of the staff is amazing. We stopped by with our dogs and they were so welcoming. We stayed for 3+ hours enjoying great wine and food. All the wines we tasted are amazing and the I Loved the live music!!

Joanne was amazing, and made our first time in big bear memorable! We tasted many amazing wines at her recommendation, and she was very personable!

Joanne is the best! She is so personable and accommodating and sweet! Place is so cute ! Great drinks and amazing charcuterie board. This is def a. GO TO!

Awesome, cool, casual place! Good music. Joanne was great and super accommodating. We will certainly be back

Excellent service ambience the pretzel with the beer cheese and mustard was incredible. The wine and the beer was a must have. Thank you for making us feel welcome my youngest son and I had a fabulous time. Definitely will be back.

Where do I began...... we are so fortunate to have stumbled into Barrel 33. I found the spot on Yelp however I had no idea how convenient the location is when visiting Big Bear. It is right in town! Perfect location. Walking from public parking you can't beat the location. Service: Impeccable! The service was amazing! We celebrated Easter here with our friend from Japan and they made us feel at home. We received the best recommendations from Joanne! She treated us like VIP customers! We tasted delicious wines and she explained everything to us. We did the 5 wine tasting which gave us a souvenir glass to take home! Extremely reasonably priced! I also bought an additional glass of the bubbly, perfect for a Sunday! We left with 2 additional bottles of wine suggested by Joanne! We were lucky to have live music, which they typically have every Friday & Saturday, on Easter Sunday! I could go on and on! Thank you Joanne Norton for a memorable experience and a Happy Easter! Ramona

Joanne was awesome!! Great host. Had a wonderful wine tasting! Marcella was also fun & welcoming! Great wines and nice relaxing atmosphere! If you like wine, this is your place!

Amazing service, so fun and friendly. The atmosphere is lively without being overwhelming. Inside bar, tables, and lounge chairs. The food has been delicious. Gluten free and vegan options

Joanne was great. Enjoyed wine, beer and food. The pretzel was wonderful. Live music was wonderful. Thank you E&B

Love this place. My girlfriend's and I came here after our pirate ship ride. Joanne our server was so accommodating to our special needs. Loved the atmosphere and Conner the musician rocked it! Gotta come check it out!

Great food. Great wine. Great hospitality. Joanne was amazing host and very accommodating. Top notch energy great love music with Connor. Don't miss this place.

It was our 1st time into this place. We ordered the baked brie with fig jam and crackers. It was delicious and I had a peltzer chardonnay from temecula ca!! And a glass of the barbera also from temecula winery. So happy they made their way out there. Bartender was our waiter too. And he was pretty quick and nice too. It was very cozy inside not really a place for children. Definitely will be back again.

1st time and last time I'm going here.. Unfortunately they were kind but had horrible wine selection.. as executive chef it was really disappointed and discussedted by the selection.. I didn't finish my wine by 930ish and was told to leave wbfir closing. I left my drink.. 1st time ever I had to leave wine.. Dany wastn very cool.. and non apologetic.. all my friends in the Industry will be told about this horrible place

We discovered Barrel 33 last summer and were surprised by the warm greeting from Shelly when we returned this year. If you are new in town, make this your first stop! Not only will you get great eats and unique wines but the staff is welcoming & full of suggestions for things to do! There is live music on Tuesdays and a beer & Bavarian pretzel special. Yes, they have beer on tap as well. We truly love this spot and appreciate the consideration they give to us as dog owners who can't leave the pooch in the AirBnB. There are two patios. The front is enjoyable for people watching and lounging on the Adirondack chairs. The back patio is serene and private with cool games to play. Barrel 33 is a must do!!

My wife and I are on a trip in Big Bear and stumbled upon Barrel 33. We are so glad that we did. What a great ambience this place has. We ended up having some really good champagne served by Joanne who treated us like family. She is a real gem. We highly recommend anybody visiting the village at Big Bear to stop by this local establishment. You will be glad you did.

Super includive environment! Kenz was helpful, fun, and knowledgeable about the beer on tap. There was quite a selection of snacks. The pickles and beer selection are good!

Joann was AMAZING and can't wait to return!!!!!!! Joann recommended the wine that would change your life and it certainly is!!!!

Service is amazing!!! It's our go to spot every time we visit our cabin!! Tons of wine and food options. Love it.

Love this place! Great beers and wine, super dog friendly. Joanne was the best! Can't wait to go back.

Fun in Big Bear! We stumbled upon this place while on a weekend getaway for Easter weekend. We were greeted enthusiastically when we e steered, and the service continued to be top notch, even though they were busy. They had a great live band playing old classic rock tunes, which made my heart happy the entire visit!!! They were fun and sounded great! We order the prosciutto flatbread, which was sooo soft and delicious. With the burrata, mozzarella, and artichoke hearts, it was creamy and the caramelized onions gave it a hint of sweetness. Yum! We also got The grilled dates wrapped in bacon. Well, because bacon and dates. You can't go wrong and we weren't disappointed. We also ordered a wine tasting and enjoyed 6 pours of a mix of red and white. My favorite was the Peltzer Malbec. So decadent. This place was super great!!! We played a game of Azul while sipping, and it was a lovely Saturday night!

Really cute wine bar in Big Bear with a very friendly staff and a great selection of wines.

Listen. Skip the restaurant scene in BearLake. You can booze till you snooze and eat amazing food here. The cauliflower bites, pretzel and flatbread are 10/10. Skip the charcuterie board, they don't have this one figured out just yet. They offer beer fights, wine flights, sangria flights... whatever your heart desires. Service is great, ambiance is wonderful with indoor and outdoor options. Food was fresh and hot! Will be back. Definitely recommend! Better than any restaurant I've been to in Bear Lake, Periodt.

Kenzi had great wine. There was nothing that I could recommend more than coming and having the experience that I had. Any people that have a need for a white wine on a bad day, This woman will make sure your day is turned around when it comes to a petite sirah or a Pinot noir look no further there are a lot of options in the village don't waste your time walking around you've got more than thirty three options, but 33 barrel is a place to go.

We decided to stop in and have a drink. Great selections! We love Brewery X Hard Seltzers and they had Huckleberry on tap which is always a fav. Definitely recommended these guys if you want to have a nice vibe and enjoy Big Bear for the heart of the village. Dan and Kenz were our waitresses/staff and were super nice to talk to and get to know :) Oh! Their Brie Bowl is literally one of the best things I've ever had. Didn't get a picture of it cuz I ate it so fast. Such a great place :)

This super cute little wine bar is a must stop! They had 5 tastings for $30 and the pour was enough for us to share, super tasty wines. And the bartender, Joanne was awesome at suggesting things we loved. The Brie and honey toast was amazing! Definitely give them a visit when you're in the Village:)

you have to come by this spot. This is a must stop when you're in big bear. Joanne is the best Somm there is. Come by relax open a bottle and let the good times begin.

In March, our party of six encountered terrible service. We requested a group reservation for later in the afternoon only to be rudely turned away by a server/host who made prejudiced remarks towards our Hispanic/Asian group. When we asked for management, we were told Aleyna doesn't care for your kind up here. We left to avoid escalating the situation.

Cheers to Dan, she was amazing!! She took such great care of us from the minute we walked in. Her warm personality and knowledge of wine was beyond!! Her and I could have chatted for hours about wine and being Texas girls. She picked an impeccable flight for me solely by asking what I do t like, plus it helped we have very similar taste. The charcuterie board was a perfect snack for day drinking. Great experience, my fiancé and I will definitely go see Dan every time we're in Big Bear.

This is the place to visit when you're in Big Bear. Always very polite, feels like home. Wine and live music is great. Joann is incredible! She made our night

Good to try a variety of beers and wines. They are very nice and offer you tastings before you select what you want to eat. We had a lot of snacks that were good - I recommend the vegetables and hummus with pesto and the giant pretzel. We would pass on the fried cauliflower next time. High tables with stools. Comfortable setting.

Getting there: Located in the heart of Big Bear Village, directions from the 10 fwy are to take exit 85 for CA-38 E and then continue onto Big Bear Blvd until you reach the location on your left. There is only street parking available in this area so you'll have to drive around and see what you can find. Experience: Barrel 33 is a hidden gem in Big Bear Lake that my friends and I stumbled upon by chance one day. The place had a charming atmosphere with wooden furniture and vintage decor that added to the cozy vibe. We were surprised by the extensive wine selection and knowledgeable staff that helped us choose the perfect bottle. We didn't stay for food this time, but we have that on our to do list for our next trip. The staff was friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home. I highly recommend this place for a casual evening out with friends or a romantic date night.

Joanne was the best!!! Did the wine tasting and had the brie toast and charcuterie board! So fun and lots of laughs with her! A must stop in Big Bear!

Great place we have been here a few times over the past few years even during Covid and their wine tasting was wonderful. We popped in last week and Dan treated us so wonderfully and we walked out with four amazing bottles of wine I could've bought 10 but we had to control ourselves lol. The late harvest is so delicious along with their high altitude Merlot and Zinfandel. All of the reds that were selected by Dan on our tasting were delicious. We had a very tasty Tempranillo. We have also had their delicious food and it really is tasty. This is a great spot in big bear. I absolutely love it. They also have new wine glasses that are so pretty. Unfortunately we were able to take home our pair since they were running low.
