The Egremont Barn

Wonderful space for comedy and music. Nice acoustics, great service, a kitchen that punches way above its weight. 👌

The Egremont Barn delivers an amazing live music experience in a rustic barn that has been elegantly restored. Food and drinks are served and there are tables and chairs inside for patrons and picnic tables outside for hanging out pre-concert. All is not perfect, however. The metal chairs at the tables are unbearably uncomfortable for a concert venue and the tap beer was served at near room temperature.

My brother-in-law’s sister made reservations for the top level *two months in advance* for a birthday party of 15+ people. They didn’t have a dedicated server present (large party reservation 101…) and everyone had to order at the bar because they were improperly staffed on a very busy Friday night. There was no water for the tables and food & drink orders were incorrect or missing, yet the owner became snippy when confronted about it. If a business is not capable of effectively, professionally, and appropriately staffing for a large party despite ample notice, then perhaps they shouldn’t be advertising those offerings.

It was a Wednesday night, open Mike night. First time there. Walked up the door that was covered in handwritten signs about not smoking weed, cigarettes, etc by the door. First impression was to leave. We walked in and found a a few tables full. The bar had a few people. Read another hand written sign that orders have to be placed at the bar. Stood there dumbfounded for a few seconds yet neither bartender welcomed us in. There was no welcome at all. Luckily the menu was out on the table. A very limited menu with half the items being burgers. Walked up to the bar and a were told we could sit anywhere yet we were still not asked if we wanted anything, not even from the bar. We sat for a few minutes but could not pick out one thing we wanted to eat or drink. We decided this experience, and staff, were not worth our money and we walked out. If you don't want service, go here. Maybe the bartenders will stop talking long enough to help you or even greet you. Hopefully the entertainment is better than anything else here. I gave them one star, first because Google makes me, but also for an bad experience I will never forget.

Great small venue for music artists. Warm atmosphere, nice roaring fire in stone fireplace, accommodating staff, and great smokehouse barn burger. We felt welcome as travelers in this local community. Tight on tables and seating if you don't arrive early. The cover band "Dead Mans Waltz" was very good and well worth the $15 cover charge. I highly recommend this experience.

Why dont more places like this exist? The Barn is my favorite new place! The music was great, and the food was way better than it needs to be. The space was SO cool and the vibe was fun and loose! If you are lucky enough to be able to make it here, you definitley should. Highly recommend.

We were driving up to spend the night in Great Barrington and just happened to see strings of lights and a roaring fire pit and decided to pull in. It was their first night of welcoming back live music after the COVID shut down. Our food was delicious, the drinks were good and the live music by William Lawrence was the high point of our trip. I just wish The Barn was closer to our home in Rhode Island because I could become addicted to hearing music at this venue.

A great place for a show! Plenty of parking, friendly staff, delicious food. Will definitely be back.
