Barrel Brothers Brewing Kitchen & Cocktails

This is a great beer garden option, especially if you're hungry and someone in your party is not that into beer. Loved the baked oyster specials! The pretzel and Korean taco were not as exciting, but tasting my way through all of their cocktail options and their beer selection definitely were. A fun time!

What a wonderful experience! Can in to celebrate with fa, Cory was a one man band at the counter, and what a great band it was! He made sure we had heat on the patio and sooo attentive!! And with family, including a a 2 year old, it was nice we got to enjoy an evening together!! Thanks Cory!!

Love the convenience of the taps on the wall and ordering at the counter. The garlic parm fries were great. The Korean corn dog was good, but could definitely use more dipping sauce on the side. Awesome house ranch.

Awesome place to have lunch. The staff were so friendly and very informative. The food had great eye appeal and tasted really good. And the prices were easy on the wallet. We were told that the menu would be expanded in the next few weeks. The taps are so cool. You can pour yourself an ounce of beer or cider or cocktail, a flight of any to taste a variety, or you can pour yourself a full glass of your favorite beverage. First time that I have tasted Hop Water, and I liked it. The ambiance was a laid-back, high-tech scene that felt open and airy. At each tap, you can use a touch screen to see more product information, see how much the beverage costs per ounce, or see how much your current bar tab is as you are pouring. It would be nice if you could also see the total number of ounces you have poured. Definitely will be going back and bringing friends.

Such a wonderful spot. Loved that they have serve yourself cocktails. I really enjoy the cocktail options. The food was delicious BUT small portions (expect for the corndog). Do not go starving cause you will rack up the bill with the food. PRICES are expensive. Nice outdoor spots and in a beautiful area of windsor. Plenty of parking space! Also they sometimes have live music of comedy nights!

This was my first time here and at times I was left with many questions on: how do I order, what do I order and do I belong here? Thankfully, the amazing, friendly and very hospitable staff lead by Dante made all those uncertainties go away. They have a very unique way on serving food and literally charge by the ounce for booze. I totally dig the place and will be back. If you're looking for something new and not your average local eatery, give this place a shot because it won't break your bank and will have a totally new unique experience.

My first time here, and I'm impressed at how much this BB location offers. The curry was tasty, and I've sampled/drank beer, sake, and cocktails from the uber-cool self-serve tap system. The staff is great, too. I'm definitely coming back!

Very cool brewery. We selected it because it also had NAs. The cool part of this place is you get to pour your own beers and pay by the ounce. For us, we didn’t get overloaded on beer. Food service was great and tasted good. We ordered the sausage plate and it was enough for 2 ppl. We really enjoyed our time. Dog friendly too.

Why did it take me so long to find... Literally the BEST tater tots I've EVER had. I don't know how it could be because I would think tater tots are the same anywhere as ling as they fry it right. Well, I don't know what kind of addictive additive is in these but DANGGGG! Also seen in photos: Korean corn dog and smash burger. 10 out of 10. Plus a cucumber collins. Live comedy, Thursday nights.

Interesting? New age brew, wine, cocktails. You go to cashier and get a plastic card, and provide your credit card to keep open tab. The card and your credit card are linked. Use the plastic card to do self service on beer, wine, cocktails. The display screen gives you cost, charged by the ounce. Sounds great?! Benefit: Serve yourself booze in the amount you want. Don't need to order from someone Downside: Don't tell you if you keep card it is $10 fee on your tab per card. People go up with same beer glass refill tilting glass onto the tap (meaning sticking their glass with germs touching the tap). Not the same as fountain drink that pours straight down into your cup. They encourage new clean glass, but people been drinking well going just go straight for it. I prefer tap that is clean and only used by barista! If you don't know how to fill beer glass you get lots foam still pay for it. Food: Traditional pub menu. A bit pricey for what it is. Need to set right timing for frying food. Overall clean, ambiance inviting, probably cool if you want to get a brew don't mind all details! Personally the price is not cheap I would prefer traditional brewery with barista experience!

Really cool self serve taps of wine, cocktails, and beer as well as non alcoholic beer. There were 36 self pour taps and they give you a card to activate the taps so you can pour as much or as little as you want to drink. Great place for a happy hour with coworkers. There is an indoor and an outdoor area and really laid back. The two guys behind the counter were so amicable and nice. Welcomed us as we walked in and explained how everything worked. My husband helped himself to numerous taps that I lost count. My faves were: Watermelon seltzer Hard tea Humboldt cider Only reason for the loss of one star is the guy who took my order missed my bratwurst so when everyone got their food mine didn't come. Since the tab is open and you don't pay until the end, there was no receipt to notice my order wasn't on there. As they put it in, they asked if I wanted fries which I thought would be comped for the inconvenience of receiving my food 20 min after everyone else but it was not. Overall, experience was good and if in the area, I would check it out again.

Super friendly staff! Super yummy food. and excellent libations. Enjoyed the Watermelon Seltzer and the Dad Pants Pilsner. Stumbled upon this place when checking out the Charlie Tree Grove in Windsor Towns Green. So much fun they were hosting trivia and was just good vibes all around. Will be back again :)

Jan2024 3.5 I'd say. Stopped in for a get together. We were able to catch a table thankfully. The card option to track drinks made it really easy when it came to paying. There was a little of everything to choose from tho since some of us weren't the biggest fans of beer. They were helpful with any questions that we had, and water refills are to the side of the register. I had tried the malaysian yellow curry and the beet salad. The curry was decent, just felt like it was missing something. Needed to be cooked a little more into some of the veggies as well. The beet salad was good but needed balance. I liked the large chunks of beets and feta, but there wasn't enough green to go along with it. Cool little spot with bar fare was cool to check out since it was nearby. Worked well overall but not the most successful on the veggie food side.

Came in at noon on a Sunday and were some of the first guests, but the place slowly filled as we sat for our meal. Loved the style of ordering first and pouring your beers yourself, so great for groups who don't want to worry about splitting a bill at the end! (Which is so much harder after alcohol is involved ) I got the totchos - bomb and so filling! I think there may have been a whole avocado on there Parents got a chicken satay and beef Crunchwrap special which they also enjoyed. The self pour beers comes in clutch as you don't have to commit to a full sized drink and pay per ounce. And SIX non alcoholic beer options! That's unheard of and a Godsend for this alcohol free gal

Stopped here after Russian River. Noticeable difference in the quality of beer. Seemed to be an uneducated addition of hops to make their IPAs, dank too dank, hazy to fruity, IPA just bitter. Nothing really good about the beer. My wife enjoyed the pre-mixed cocktails. We don't get the food so no comment. Really good vibe, nice patio, good music. Add a good beer and this place would be great. Until I suggest going somewhere else.

Been wanting to visit the new Barrel Brothers locale for a while now. But living in Santa Rosa, I'm pretty set in my ways when it comes to breweries I often visit. I finally made it tonight and I'm glad I did. We were a wee bit hungry and thirsty. I had heard they do the self pour card, like I've seen at some wine tasting locations. For beer this works perfectly. We checked in, got our cards and got a tutorial from the awesome guy behind the counter. We scanned the beers on tap and made our selection. FYI, they also have wine, cocktails and NA options on tap if you so choose. Beer selection was pretty standard...lighter beers, IPA's and porters. I like the self pour. I got a 12 oz glass (by accident) and poured how much I thought I wanted of a certain beer. After we grabbed some drinks, we scanned the menu. It was actually pretty substantial with a lot of solid options. My wife selected a crunch wrap (burger) and I got a bowl of tortilla soup. Both were good. For the second round, my wife tried the orange/lemon cocktail which she enjoyed, while I selected a different beer. Staff checked in and talked to us a couple times. At the counter, I saw of a bottle of the "Hopsinthe" they offer. I asked if it was like Absinthe. I was told no, and offered a nip. OMG, it's nothing like I've ever had before. Thanks for the taste, but WOW...not sure who that's for. 120 proof. Did I say...WOW! Barrel Brothers is definitely worth checking out! Wish they were in Santa Rosa though. Yes, being selfish.

We've been here a few times now and everything keeps getting better. Self service beer is now self service beer, non alcoholic beers, and cocktails. I had a pastry stout that was perfect for the chilly day today. The food was pretty decent before but now they flex a pretty diverse "international street food" list. I like their chicken satay, halloumi, and Korean corn dog. The pork bao was not my favorite because I'm a purist. I didn't want the pickled vegetables on it and it wasn't a sliced pork belly like traditionally made (shredded pork instead), but that's okay. The other bites made up for it. They have a large outdoor seating area with heaters and the service is pretty fast. We can even catch a game on the large tv's. Worth stopping by for a chill meal and some drinks.

Beet is so over priced! One pint for $12.55:( Got the sour beer, made my stomach sour too! Man at the register was rude!! Went there on Saturday @ opening. Nice environment, clean, just rude dude, and over priced beer.

I like the places that have a serve yourself beer walls I feel like we need more of these in Sonoma County and I'm glad Barrel Brothers has done it! I always like to be able to taste a few different drinks and by pouring my own drinks I don't need to buy an entire cup of beer that I only wanted to sample. I also liked that it has more than just beer on its tap wall. The small plates were good and the location is perfect, I loved sitting outside and enjoying the ambiance of the place.

This place is cool, it's in the Oliver's shopping center so huge bonus. I do miss the old location. This one has the wall tap card thing so it is kinda nice even though it takes away from the experience. I will usually do small pours and then decide which one I like. They have cocktails as well.

Got the Smashburger freaking awesome. Only complaint is Bun was either day old or just go with something else and throw out on the grill for a couple minutes to get it warm. It was almost cold kind kind of ruined it but again the rest of it was so legit I would definitely do it again, but upgrade your buns guys come on.!!!!!! Great friendly staff place is super clean Comedy is Back excited to have you as our neighbor !!!

Great ambience, good service and yummy food. Love this place for these guys! Been fans since the single room tasting room days and I'm just to kled to see them doing well. Exactly what this space needed, sad to see the turnover at this location but I think it all had to happen to facilitate this locale for this brewery. Frickles we're good, Korean dog was good, not something I'd get again but hubs enjoyed his dog. Chicken satay was tatstay! Came for a comedy night and it was a good time.

The food was amazing and the drinks are delicious ! The staff are also friendly and very knowledgeable. Definitely recommend!

Really fun spot to taste all sorts of drinks and food. They also have non-alcoholic options. My son who isn't two yet liked the chicken satay skewer while my husband and I enjoyed the crunch wrap. Drinks are measured by the pour and you get them yourself. So fun!

I just ate at one of my favorite places to eat in Windsor. And that's saying a lot because there's not a lot of good food in Windsor CA. That has completely changed. They decimated the menu and now it's basic pub grub. Which is such a bummer, as they had very unusual food plus good beer. That is not the only bummer. The second bummer is we ordered two burgers, NO FRIES, a brat, which we got charged extra for on the fries, two beers and it was $107. That is a complete joke. Bye-bye Barrel Brothers. I hope you're paying attention to these reviews.

A unique and awesome brewery providing their own wall of taps, which allow you to try all different beers, seltzers, ciders, cocktails, and non-alcoholic pours. You can even choose from different size pours; using the small glasses to make your own flight or using a bigger glass for your favorite! We were looking for a fun place to hangout as we were in town visiting and this place did not disappoint. Ask for Steven, he was so helpful!

I'm not a huge beer drinker, however I am a huge foodie and this place certainly has some great items with great flavor on their very small menu. My favorite has to be the tofu bahn mi sandwich. The tofu is marinated so well! And the sauce that they use adds such great flavor and rounds out the sandwich. It is packed with thinly sliced cucumbers, shredded carrot, and a few greens. It has become my new obsession! The chicken bahn me is just as delicious. They have a bratwurst sandwich that is very simple yet, is packed with so much flavor as well! My buddy really enjoyed it. The bread has nice a crunchy texture, the sausage is juicy and flavorful, and it is topped off with sauerkraut ( which he usually doesn't like). He said it was a 10/10! And that says a lot. He's a very picky eater. We also had the churros. They're like the big churros you find at the fair or at Costco only a tiny version of them. These are tiny little sticks that are deep fried and coated with a cinnamon/sugar mix. Very tasty! The staff was very friendly. So helpful and all smiles. I love seeing that great customer service which they delivered. My order was to go, but they have an Outside patio that is so welcoming. I think could sit there for hours! Definitely going to be coming back here!

If there is something that is going to make food a little spicy, please put it on the menu! We ordered the mac n cheese and on the menu it apprears to be your run of the mill super cheesy mac n cheese. We were excited cause we haven't had a good mac in awhile. Come to find out, there was red pepper flakes or something in it that made it way to spicy/hot for me to enjoy. Even my partner who loves a good spice said it was too much. It needs to be on the menu. We overheard another lady get up and ask about it and was told it's a bold mustard... that's also not listed on the menu and it definitely was not mustard. She was having the rest of her group try it as well. Such a bummer. Other than that, we enjoyed Barrel Brothers. The tap wall is so much fun and let's you try what you want at your convenience. I love being able to created my own tasters. The rest of the food was really good. The Bahn Mi, fried pickles, and corn dog all hit the spot. My partner said the fried pickles were the best he's ever had. They were quite tasty and nice and crispy. The staff was excellent and the space was fun. Since it was a rainy day it filled up fast but everyone was so friendly and shared tables with strangers. I love that kind of vibe at breweries. We want to come back and check out some of their events so we will be back but not for the mac.

Self-service beer with phenomenal food! Had one of each of the sticks except corn dogs and they were absolutely delicious. We have a handful of places that do lamb kabobs and this one was right up there. Beer uses the Pour system that seems to be taking over Sonoma county now (Round table on Farmers, Rewind Arcade in Sebastopol) and is easy and convenient. Place your card given to you at the front register in the slot and pour your beer. We also had the Zhug which was also very delicious. Sat on the patio right at opening and it was pretty empty but got busier as lunch neared. Most of my beer pours came out to about $4.75 for a 3/4 pour. Service was fast and friendly and the bathrooms were clean and nice as well. Would definitely recommend coming here!

Came in on a pretty warm day and unfortunately this place has large open doors to the outdoor area so inside was not better than the outdoor heat. You order at the counter and you are given a card to the wall drinks and you can order food at this time. We ordered the ceviche , fried chicken and the Thai noodle salad. I personally didn't have the ceviche but my husband said it was really good. Fried chicken was super crispy.. come with a ranch sauce and were not ranch people so another choice would of been great. Thai noodle salad was good and I would definitely order again but if they had a peanut sauce for it then it would of been 110% ! The wall drinks that I had was the margarita and the orange lemon drop. Margarita wasn't my taste but the lemon drop was good. I'll be back. I'm actually craving that crispy chicken right now !

This week I've been treated by family to some of the most amazing food I have had all year. I left myself completely in their hands to just kick back and experience, it's making me want to leave my sleepy lil coastal town and move to Sonoma County. After a morning getting ready for Christmas we were all a little hungry and decided to just get a snack to tide us over until dinner. Nestled securely in Oliver's parking lot is this adventurous offering. It has wide open spaces and sleek lines that provide a relaxing and harmonious feel. The staff greeted us warmly and looking at the menu I could have stayed all day and sampled everything, it was more a question of what I didn't want rather than did. We decided on the Pork Belly Buns which melded flavors perfectly and actually satisfied three of us, though maybe me because I had two . Getting a drink there is interesting as they give you a debit card you insert and pour your own like a soda machine for grown ups. There is craft beers, wines, non alcoholic drinks and then for those who like something stronger, mixed drinks. They are dog friendly which is always a plus in my book and the patio is great to sit in where you can definitely people watch. Personally I think this would be a great first date spot or somewhere just to meet friends and unwind. I will be back!

Ok so they have moved to a nice bigger location. The wife and I wanted to try the food we know the beer and drinks are good. The new place is so nice and the food was so good. Unfortunately as of now they don't have there liquor license. They do have no alcoholic beer and drinks. The service was excellent. So how it works is get to fill your own beer. They give you a card put it in the slot and fill your glass! So go give this new place a try. Wife and I loved the food. Cheers

Drove all the way out from the east Bay Area tonight to get some of their t-r-e-n-d-s smoothie beers after I tried their açaí berry one which was amazing. Tried the other two they had and they were really good as well! Another thing I wanted to say is they definitely go above and beyond to make you happy. I didn't quite like the noodle salad and they let me order something else. I ordered the chopped beef sandwich and it was delish! It took a bit of time to get it as they were busy, but was worth the wait! And they gave me a beer to make up for it. It's just really nice when a place really cares about their customers. Thanks we will back for sure!

I love this place! I think it's really nice and has a good atmosphere and great drinks!! BUT I beg them to get better food. It's very bland and just isn't that good and I've tried a lot of the menu. Service is amazing as well!!!!

This place is great! Prior to our visit I had only had their DIPA, the Brother Maker, that we picked up at our local Whole Foods. It's a small brewery in terms of space, there's seating at the bar inside & a couple of tables. Outside there are 3 barrels to sit around. Their hours are from 3:00-6:00 pm Tuesday-Saturday & they're a pet friendly brewery. I ordered a flight of the following beers: - The Upside Down (Barrel-Aged Sour Stout) - Marmalade (Barrel-Aged Blended Sour Ale) - The Snozzberries Taste Like Snozzberries (Barrel-Aged Blonde Sour Ale) - Trends (Slushy/Smoothie) My favorite ones were Snozzberries, very tart for all the sour lovers, & Trends, tastes like a strawberry banana smoothie. They also offer non-alcoholic beer & canned cocktails, I tried the lemon drop, they served it on the rocks, it was delicious! Can't wait to come back!

This place is very misleading on their page. Food looks amazing but it's terrible !! Staff were rude ! Definitely had higher expectations for this place... so many items on the many were "unavailable." Everything is self serve so if you want a nice cocktail go somewhere else, these are not freshly made or visually aesthetic at all. Overall, disappointed. It does however have nice seating area just a ton of sun and little shade unless you sit inside.

Loved stopping by this industrial brewery/taproom and trying their excellent brews. I had tried their cans from the grocery store and enjoyed them, and it's always interesting to see where they come from. From the flight and 5oz taster pours we ordered, we decided: winners were the Upside Down Barrel Aged Sour Stout (!) and the Trends slushy/smoothie beer. The Peculiar Haze Hazy DIPA was good. The Dark Sarcasm Porter and the Leatherbound Books Brown Sour were okay. We would not order the Snozberries Blonde Sour Ale again. We also got their canned cocktails to go. They were drinkable but tasted somehow muted. I might recommend not drinking them straight out of the can (like I did) but freshening them up with a splash of bubbly water, squeeze of orange, etc. Indoor and outdoor stool seating available. No food on-site (a food truck would make a great addition here!).

They totally had me at help yourself to the taps. It's amazing. As much or little as you want of 39 taps on the wall. Beer, wine, cocktails (!), and non alcoholic. THEN, as if that was not amazing enough, they have cans of Manhattans you can take to go. OMG. You know they are gonna be amazing cuz barrel brothers. To top it off the food is good too. I had a Banh Mi and a basket of Thai Chili Chicken Wings and both were great. The chicken thigh Banh Mi was juicy and perfect with yummy hot chilies. And the Thai Chili spice on the wings was just perfect too. The kids liked their corn dogs and they were pretty big. Enough to fill up the 10 year old even. Cant wait to come back :). What a great add to the brew pub scene.

I really like the staff at Barrel Brothers: For me they are the best of any brewery/tap room staff in the county - if and when I return it will be because of them, as well as the $6 giant corn dog; which might be the best food deal in Sonoma County - hand dipped and fried to county fair style perfection. If it turns out I don't go back, it will be because of the self pour/beer wall thing - for a beer lover it's not optimum: beer foams out as the tap is first opened and you end up paying for equal parts beer and foam. That said its a beautiful indoor/outdoor space, the aforementioned staff is awesome and all-in-all its a fairly pleasant experience. But as a beer connoisseur I truly mourn for the original location.

I'm personally not a beer drinker, but hubby is! He LOVED this place! When you walk in, you give your credit card # and in exchange, you get a beer card. With this card, you are able to pour whatever beer/drinks into whatever size glass you want, and you are charged by the oz. You can drink as much as you want, and it keeps a tab. Then, at the end of the meal, you get a total and are charged. What hubby liked the most about the serve yourself bar, it allows you to try various beers and drinks so you can see what you like. You can even pour 1 oz and the price is pretty cheap. We also ordered food. Got the Moroccan Spiced Lamb for $5, which hubby said was good. I had the chicken satay stick, also $5, which he liked more than I did. I got a Poke Bowl, $15, which was fresh tasting and delicious. Also, the Southern Fried chicken, which was 3 wings and a breast. Tasty, a decent sized portion, and comes with sauce on the side. As for the taste of the drinks, margarita was our least favorite and a poorly made concoction. Hubby said he liked the Neighborhood Squatch the most. Others we tried were Saturday Morning Cartoons, Leatherbound Books, Dark Sarcasm and the Market Lime Cosmo. Flavors change often, so we'll definitely be back and try others! No doubt this location will do really well. Place was packed! It's a brilliant idea and I'm sure other establishments will follow suit. Bill came to $65, not bad at all!

Fun place - enjoyed the pour yourself taps - really did not enjoy the poor service and attitude of the staff. It just seem very unfriendly, unhelpful, and tried to make me feel badly for the fact that our food order took 30 minutes for them to make. Whoever was at the front counter today would be better in the back out of contact with customers. That beer is pretty good. Food is OK.

Beer on tap by the oz!! Awesome. If you're coming here just to drink it's a win win. But the food is very bland and sub par for the options surrounding. Ordered the fried chicken 5/10. Corn dog 7/10. Poke Bowl 4/10.

Fantastic new brew house! I love the serve yourself beverages style. Great variety of drinks, not just beer. Be careful though- it's expensive so your tab will quickly creep up. Excellent indoor/outdoor ambiance. They have an eclectic food menu with a variety of types of food: Asian noodles, pupusas, fried chicken, skewers, poke bowl, bahn mi, etc. the skewers were a delicious light option. This place could not be more perfect.

What a great place to be on a Tuesday night... Trivia Night!!! Good people, good food, and great beer! Need a relaxing environment... this is the place to be!

Horrible concept. Surrendering credit card payment method up front in order to get a second card that allows you to serve yourself? Numerous items were unavailable. Beer was decent but overpriced. Then at checkout, there were 4 people standing around waiting to assist (who could have served us and eliminated all the unnecessary pantomime), and then the payment screen defaulted to tip payments !?!?!? Do not expect a tip for self service, and if I want to serve myself, next time I will purchase some quality beer at Olivers and stay home. Will not be returning, hospitality requires at least a little effort.

I like some of the food but I could live without the beer wall. Think self-service gas station. The indoor/outdoor ambiance is pleasant and the beer is good for the most part.

Great food, beers are diverse and delicious (and I am not a beer drinker) and the nice open space outside with heaters makes for lovely ambience. A great spot overall!

First time here very down to earth place. Tried all their sours & they even have a stout sour which was a first for me. I really liked 2 of them and the other 2 I thought were intresting but not something I would have again. Also you gotta try their draft cocktails. I had their lemon drop and we bought a pack of the rest of them can't wait to try them. This was also our first outing with our puppy Lexy and it was a perfect place very calm and very dog friendly.

I have not yet visited your your brewery yet but I just bought a 4 pack of your Hazy and it's really good. Nice to pick something off the shelf and discover that you found a beer that I will surely buy again. Great job on this one. Winner

Honestly this was not a very fun experience. I went in and tried their self serve drinks. First of, before walking in I was not aware it was self served. You are given a card where you are only allowed 3 drinks ( which I am all for due to people trying to over serve themselves) but then when trying to get the card reactivated, no one to be found. I went through my 3 drinks quickly since I got my kids non alcoholic drinks. So I went back for my second drink, and told me I needed to reactivated. We had 2 cards attached to the same credit card. So not knowing what was going on I was looking dumb walking back to your table, and doing the back and fourth thing trying to figure out what was going on with the card. I feel like if they would of let me know that was a thing, I would been more prepared. I was tired of waiting for someone to tell me about the 3 drink memo that I never got. I just was frustrated and decided I was done. I went yo pay my $15 tab. To my surprise, after all that fiasco, I got charged a $10?! -- yeah, not going back.

5 stars for the beer, 2 stars for the food. I'm not a fan of any of the cocktails. They are way too sweet. Beers are great but on the expensive side. You order food at the counter, pour your own beer, and clear your own table and then they want a tip!! The food is a weird mix that was not very good and expensive with small portions. When I go out for a beer I want bar food. Pizza, tacos, burgers, onions rings! The fried chicken was dry and over cook, the Thai noodle salad was bland and needed way more sauce, and the potato thing (can't remember the name) was awful! Come for the beer, but head to the town green for food or Barley and Bine if you want beer friendly food with good portions and reasonable price.

The location is really nice and the concept of pouring your own beers is great since you don't have to wait in any line once you've checked in at the front desk and put your card on file (not sure how this would work if you're paying cash). The employees are all friendly and the beer was great. The thing that hurts this place is the menu, at least for me. It's a bit too posh for my taste. I like getting bar food when I get a beer... give me nachos, sliders, pizza, that kind of thing. There were only a few things I would really consider ordering on the menu. But hey, that's me and maybe other people are into this kind of menu. I'd just recommend checking it out first if you're looking to get food with your beer. My suggestion would be for them to refine the menu so it's more appealing for regular dudes

We wanted to love this place for its great beer, great new location, and to support local. However, the food is all over the place, bite sized portions, and unfortunately, not any good. The atmosphere is basic and everything is ordered at the counter, no real table service. We will continue supporting by purchasing the beer at local grocery stores but don't have the desire to visit the restaurant again.

I give it 5* for the beer and 2* for the food. Placing your order and getting a pour-your-own beer card during check-in is really slow, especially during mealtimes. Check-out is equally as slow or you can toss your beer card in the bucket, which will close out the check and add in an additional 18% tip. Everything on the menu is a small portion, so you need to order a many items. The 5 really small pieces of fried chicken were overcooked and certainly not enough for a meal unless it came with biscuits, mashed potatoes, and gravy. But then we would be talking," Diners, Drive-Ins, and Dives" type food. The Lamb skewer was good. $8.50 for 6 yucca fries. Only 4 small pieces of tuna in the tuna poke salad. I like to pour my own beer and convenient if you only need another 1/2 glass. Next time I will stop by for the beer only and probably have dinner somewhere else.

This was my second time checking out this place! The first time, they didn't have their alcohol license which was a disappointment, however; the food was really great and the a quick turn around with food. I thought it was a little strange to open a taproom without a liquor license but was excited to return and give it another try. I returned this week with a group of friends. The ambiance was great and the place was busy! We ordered a few food items, turn around and seasoning was great. However; when it came to the beers and service, it was unfortunate. The beers were NOT cold and extremely foamy. When i spoke with a staff member about the kegs, who had red hair, he was really rude and came off really pretentious. Sonoma County is a small community and i'm hoping to give this place another try and give it the benefit of the doubt as I love supporting our incredible brew masters in the County. Hopefully moving forward, that staff member will be kind to reoccurring business consumers.

This place is terrible. It seems like the entire business plan to to have you come and do all the work for yourself and for them to charge you a lot of money for that. You pay at the counter, you bus yourself, you get your own drinks, they don't turn on heat lamps when it's quite cold, we had to repeatedly remind to bring us our food (three times back to the counter and they said "oops we forgot to put in your food order"!!!!!!!). And, while it's posted nowhere but they will confirm if you ask them, if you forget to "turn back in" your plastic card you used to buy and get your own drinks, they automatically charge you 20% gratuity. And yes, the food was terrible. It's been a long time since I have walked out of a Sonoma County restaurant appalled and Barrel Brothers did it. Go anywhere else but here.

Maybe this just isn't what I was expecting. Went on a Friday night and place was fairly busy. Giants were playing but TVs were turned off. I had the Porter and it was excellent. But the atmosphere was strange. Is this a tap house or a restaurant? The menu was bizarre. A complete mix of foods from Honduras to Yemen to Greece to Mexico. I didn't eat but a friend enjoyed the fried Chicken. This was a taphouse but they block your phone reception as if it were a fine dining establishment. I just didn't care for it but I was there for a casual beer with friends. This place is suffering from an identity crisis. Drank one beer and walked over to the town green for dinner and drinks. The place is new and hopefully they'll figure it out soon. Give it a try!
