My friend lives in the area and was the one who first told me about this place. The second she mentioned that it was a speakeasy attached to a restaurant, I was already sold. We made plans to check it out, and since that first visit I've probably been back three times -- and every single experience has been wonderful. If you sit at the bar, you can watch the chefs cook right in front of you while the bartenders make your drinks, which is such a fun experience. The cocktails are amazing, and the staff always has great recommendations if you're not sure what to order. But the FOOD is a whole other story. Everything I've tried here has been incredible. I genuinely don't think I've ordered a single thing that I didn't love. The atmosphere might be one of my favorite parts, though. It has this beautiful, expensive, upscale feeling without actually being ridiculously expensive. It's so nice to have something like this on the West Side where you can get dressed up and have a nice birthday dinner or date night and feel like you're somewhere special without the price tag being completely crazy. The staff is amazing, the service has consistently been great, the cocktails are fantastic, and the food is incredible. After multiple visits, I can confidently say this has become one of my favorite spots and easily one of the best places in Peoria. I absolutely love it here and will continue coming back! read more

My hubs and I went to their Whiskey & Vinyl on Saturday w/ some friends, and we had a great night out! First, I really loved the aesthetic of the joint. It's a little moody w/ dim lighting and has a cool throwback feel to another era. My bestie & I ordered Old Fashioneds. They were good, although they were a bit on the light-pour side. I ordered the Wagyu meatballs, and they were absolutely delicious. My hubs and the rest of the table ordered the burger. They enjoyed them, but fair warning: the burger has a bit of a kick! The gentleman spinning vinyl for the evening had an amazing playlist. Each song seemed better than the one before. Overall, it was a fun atmosphere, great music, and a really enjoyable night out! read more

Barley & Smoke might be one of the coolest hidden gems we've found in Arizona. We have been to the bar it's tucked inside of so many times and had NO idea this place was even there. You walk through and suddenly you're sitting at a gorgeous little bar literally IN THE KITCHEN, watching everything happen right in front of you. The entire experience feels intimate, elevated and completely unexpected. The vibe was incredible. Instrumental hip hop playing in the background, moody lighting, amazing cocktails, incredible food, and a front row seat to the kitchen. It somehow feels upscale without feeling stuffy. The oysters, prawns, bone marrow, cocktails, and beignets - everything we tried was so good, but the atmosphere is what really made it. It feels like you've been let in on a secret. Such a cool experience and absolutely somewhere we will be going back to. 10/10 for food, cocktails, music and one of the best vibes we've found. read more

Vibey speakeasy with tasty drinks. Make a reservation on the weekend since it fills up and know that they'll hold you to the time limit for your seats. Black Gotham was my kind of cocktail- a smooth and well-balanced sipper. The seasonal pineapple bourbon smash was also tasty. Nice wine by the glass options available. If you're feeling snacky, there's an open kitchen where you can watch the team work their magic. It's a pretty meat heavy menu, but the grilled romaine was fine (next time dressing on the side and hold the lardons) and campfire potatoes were tasty. Nice find on the west side. Recommend checking it out. read more

Ryan "The Head Bartender/Mixologist" is great, super personality, very knowledgeable and has some great recommendations based on your taste preferences. Loved their Seasonal Old Fashions and Negroni's. Very well balanced and flavorful, Ryan may tweak if you have a preferred taste u maybe looking for. Food is always excellent. read more

My husband and I made a last-minute dinner reservation and were able to grab the 8:30 pm seating at the bar, which worked out great. The bartender was friendly and attentive, and took our order quickly. By the time we arrived they had already sold out of the bone marrow small plate and the tomahawk steak. Totally understandable for the last seating of the night, but those were two of the dishes we were really looking forward to trying. The main reason for 1 less star. It's a cool little spot for drinks and a gourmet bite. The kitchen, bar, and seating area are fairly compact. Even though the kitchen is ventilated, you can still feel a bit of the heat and smoke coming off the grill. We ordered the grilled romaine salad (they do charge a small upcharge if you split plates), along with the bao buns and the wagyu meatballs. Everything was well presented, tasty. Overall, a great option for the west side if you're looking for elevated bar bites and good drinks. My tip: grab an earlier reservation if you can, so you have a better chance at the popular dishes before they sell out. read more

We stopped in after getting a recommendation from one of the employees and were so glad we did! We were pleasantly surprised by the atmosphere....it was warm, inviting, and had such a great ambiance. I had no idea this little gem was tucked away here. We started with the burrata appetizer, which was fantastic, and paired it with an espresso martini and an Old Fashioned. Everything was delicious. Holli took great care of us and went above and beyond to make our experience memorable. She was friendly, attentive, and a wonderful representation of the restaurant. Excellent food, great drinks, and outstanding service...we'll definitely be back! read more

Saw this as a speakeasy type bar and of course we had to try it! You walk with Minh restaurant in the front and say you're there for barley and smoke. They walk you through the kitchen and brings you to an entirely new part of the restaurant. Well decorated, clean not that small. Different than other speak easy far as where it feels like it's mini restaurant. There is bar seating and seats around as well. There's also a kitchen right there in front of the bar where they make the food fresh. Our bartender was super friendly and nice. We tried a couple of drinks and entrées as well. One thing that stood out was a roasted salad, which is very flavorful! If you're in the area, definitely wear a shot! Will definitely be returning again! read more

Reserved a table online for a friends birthday. We arrived and checked in at the bar at Peoria artisan brewery and everyone was saying "oh this is nice" I said just wait. We were taken through the kitchen and into another room where as soon as the doors are opened you have left normalcy and entered an experience that starts right there. As you walk in the colors and richness is unmistakable with beautiful gold accents and a cage guarding bottles of wine and other liquor. To the right the wrap around bar and a beautiful open kitchen with a wood fired oven a flaming grill mixing the aromatic bitters with scents of grilled food. Seated at the bar and was graciously given the corner as our party of 4 was then able to chat much more easily. Bartenders greeted us and served us some water and after a few we asked about the drink menu. Found out that they have a large off menu list. Each bartender makes 2-3 off menu items based on their favorite style of base liquor and extremely rare bourbons like EH Taylor Single Barrel & Weller CYPB, not only were they a full pour of 2oz they weren't price gouging. Wives ordered beautiful and delicious drinks also off menu that they loved as well. Appetizers came rolling in bruschetta and brussel sprouts. Word of caution if spice is a problem most everything has a little bit of Fresno chilis on it. My wife is sensitive and it wasn't to much for her but just be advised. The apps were delicious full of flavor, the scratch made sourdough bread for that bruschetta DAMN! Only personal takeaway is we prefer our brussels a bit crispy but still very good. Our meals showing up were at just the right time, and wow incredible. Every bite was so delicious on my wife's meatballs my half chicken with duck fat fried French fries and our friends loved their aged New York strip. My wife even had a surprise of cheese at the bottom of her bowl but those wagyu meatballs were stellar! We didn't have any room for dessert but this place is one of the coolest spots ever. They even gave my friend the birthday boy a card signed by everyone! Really an exceptional experience that is a must try in the west valley. Really leveling up this area with this spot. I hope other places start doing things similarly. read more

This was our first visit and the ambiance of a speak easy quickly comes to an end when people are allowed to walk out the side door next to your table! But I will say that I had one of the best ever espresso martinis and the beignets were amazing! Dinner was good, everything was so flavorful! The waitress was "interesting" as she must have spilled the water on the floor at least four times! But she was friendly! We will give it a try again! read more

Barley and Smoke made for a nice evening out last Friday. My husband and I came in on a whim, hoping to just walk in since we didn't make reservations. We arrived close to 5pm and they were able to seat us. At first, it wasn't so busy but then an hour in, the place was getting super packed. The cocktails were creative and balanced. It was fun ordering different ones and seeing how they would turn out. The old fashioned with banana and walnut? notes was really good and I also enjoyed the pineapple bourbon smash. The small plate/appetizers could have been filling enough, but I'm glad we ordered several small plates and still got regular entrees as well. The bone marrow, the peach burrata, and the ribs were all so good! My husband liked his Waygu burger a lot and I had the seared tuna over corn. Our bartender/server was super nice and made nice suggestions. The bar had a sophisticated feel to it. We were super comfortable sitting at the bar, and it was more interesting that way because you could watch them make drinks and also cook. It's so wonderful having this speakeasy on this side of town. I hate always having to drive to Scottsdale and Tempe for all the new restaurants and bars. We deserve the fun too! We will definitely come back and we highly recommend Barley and Smoke. Next time, we will most likely make reservations just so we have a little more assurance that we are getting a seat instead of playing it last minute by ear, haha! read more

Amazing! Had so much with friends and the food was fantastic! Such a cool vibe. Nothing like it in Peoria

Very. Cool. Just that simple. Interesting menu with great food. Great service. Fun to watch ambiance.

Thank God food is coming to the west side because the food on this part of town is not good. This place stands alone highly recommend it.

Love love love this hidden gem! My husband and I just moved to the area and we're looking for a fun date night. He found Barley & Smoke and made the reservation for later that night. They had seating availability at the bar too every 15 minutes so it was quite easy to get a seat. Located inside Peoria Artisan Brewery, you will check in with the hostess upon arrival. She walked us through the kitchen to find the speakeasy. So vinyl and very unexpected after being walked through the kitchen. The drinks were fun and creative and the menu had a nice variety to it. We started off with 1/2 dozen oysters and cocktails. I ordered the English garden and I think my husband ordered a sidecar. The English garden was delicious! I especially loved the coconut cream. For dinner we ordered the tomahawk dinner meant to share. This came with a Caesar salad, roasted rosemary potatoes, the carved tomahawk, and a dessert. I wish I could remember the price but I do remember thinking it was a great amount of food. I would have liked the steak to have been a bit more tender and flavorful but everything else was tasty. We upgraded our dessert to the peach cobbler, which did not disappoint, and finished the night with an espresso martini - which was more milk-based than espresso. All in all, I would definitely go back again and try a few more things on the menu. read more

After a few visits now I can confirm that I'm a fan of Barley & Smoke. I was after my first visit but I'm trying to be patient before I lavish praise so readily. The speakeasy-style spot is a winner. Ensconced within Peoria Artisan Brewery the space is accessed via a short walk through the kitchen, where the staff will welcome you on your way. You enter into a nice cozy spot with ample bar seating around an open kitchen area with nice table seating to accommodate various-sized groups. I won't go into exhaustive detail on the menu, you can check the website but, while a bit small, it is nicely varied and eclectic in a way. The Tallow and Bread is a definite winner, as is the Pork Belly Fried Rice - which is a meal in itself. We also sampled the Asparagus, which was delicious. We also tried the B&S Burger on our previous visit which was quite tasty. Dishes are nicely presented and appealing. The cocktail and wine menu is impressive. The El Hefe Grande is wonderful, consisting of Manchado Bacanora, Cointreau, Limoncello, Charred Lemon Juice, Agave Syrup, and Black Lava Salt Blend. There is a very nice selection of wine and a really good list of Whiskey, Bourbons and Scotch. You're sure to find something to enjoy. Service is really above average in my opinion. Very knowledgeable about the menu, current drink special and any recommendations you might need. On both of our visits Rain was outstanding. Friendly, happy that you are there and extremely helpful with the menu or any questions. A great asset to the place. Barley & Smoke needs to be on your list of places to try. It is spacious enough yet intimate. A perfect date-night spot or for a small group of friends. read more

Did have a Caprese Martini which was like drinking a margarita pizza!! So good. Fun place for the Westside. Definitely higher end. read more

Last night I treated my wife to an early Mother's Day dinner at the new Barley & Smoke speakeasy she had been eager to try. Upon walking through the kitchen of the Peoria Artisan Brewery restaurant, we were met with a fantastic and beautiful bar and the pleasant scent of hardwood smoke hanging in the air, illuminated by the glow of the Edison lights and reflected by tarnished bar mirrors in gilded frames. We were seated at a table with a comfortable and elegant tufted back booth and an executive chair on the opposing side. Our server, Bradford, kindly introduced himself and welcomed us to the restaurant. Bradford was funny and friendly and made several recommendations when talking about the specials (One of which, the oysters, I took him up on). If we ever had a question about anything, he had the answer. After ordering and before receiving our food, I admired the impressive artisan bar where the liquor was stored; As well as the gorgeous glassware and flatware, the classic design of the menus, the cleanliness and industriousness of the other staff and kitchen, and the how clean and well-kept the restroom facilities were. We enjoyed our first round of craft cocktails, amidst the pleasantness of whatever 80s synth wave music was playing in the background. My wife had the very delicious and refreshing La Mariposa, while I had the incredible Smokin' Aces (a must have for fans of old fashions or smoked bourbon drinks). Our Appetizers came quickly and were consumed even quicker. The oysters were delicious with hot sauce and the bone marrow with toast on a bed of fresh arugula and radish shavings was so fantastic it may warrant a return trip for it alone. With our second round of drinks, (a glass of old Forester 1920 for myself and, the drink special of the evening, an orange blossom spritzer for my wife) we enjoyed the Caesar salad that came with our family style tomahawk steak special. The salad was topped with fresh white anchovies that tasted nothing like the salt-bombs that are often associated with the commonly disliked pizza topping. These anchovies tasted much more like an artisan white fish that you might receive on a bakery fresh bagel. Finally, the tomahawk arrived, cooked to a medium rare perfection with fresh rosemary and potatoes. I am not being facetious when I state that this was, bar none, the greatest steak I have ever had the pleasure of eating. And as someone who used to eat steaks on a near nightly basis when bulking for competitive lifting, I must say this steak was marbled to perfection with fat that melted in your mouth like warm butter. I had to pay my respects to the chef. Last on the docket was dessert. We had beignets with both salted caramel syrup and, my favorite, the blueberry mezcal syrup, which added a rich smoky tarty taste to the confectioners sugar covered beignets. This paired nicely with the final drink of the evening, a glass of EH Taylor small batch. All in all this was the best dining experience we have had in months and it became an immediate recommendation to several friends and coworkers. Barely & Smoke is an excellent choice for a special night out if you're in the mood for a delicious steak, craft cocktails, and you don't mind the price tag. read more

What a sexy little spot in the Northwest Valley of Phoenix to have an intimate dinner or dessert with drinks. Barley & Smoke @barleyandsmoke is a sleek and polished yet cozy speakeasy located at 10144 W Lake Pleasant Pkwy #1130, Peoria, Arizona, inside @peoriaartisanbrewing Be sure to make reservations ahead of arriving. You can reserve bar seating or dining room seating. We chose dining room and had a booth near the kitchen. We reserved easily, same day, through the link on their Instagram profile page. We ordered: - ENGLISH GARDEN COCKTAIL - House Vanilla Infused Platinum 7 Vodka | Honey Simple | Egg Whites I Coconut Cream | Edible Rose Petal Garnish - Excellent Cocktail!! - TALLOW & BREAD - Animal Fat Candle | Dutch Oven Bread | Fleur de Sel - CHARRED VEGETABLES - Hearth Roasted | Falafel Hummus | Za'atar Tzatziki | Flat Bread - COWBOY RIBEYE FOR TWO - 20 oz. | Smoked Demi | Horseradish Potatoes (Includes Salad & Dessert) - HOUSE SALAD - CAESAR SALAD WITH ANCHOVIES - BEIGNETS WITH STRAWBERRY COULIS & CARAMEL We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves tonight. Our waiter was so charming and helpful, despite being on his toes all evening, taking care of all the tables. It was a little smoky and warm as we walked in. We sort of felt like we were tucked in a back room in an actual speakeasy, albeit one with lots of class. The Tallow & Bread appetizer is so fun. The bread is really delicious and it's fun dipping it in the melting candle and fleur de sel while deciding what to order. There is a men's and women's restroom inside the speakeasy. After our 2 1/2 hour meal, we exited through two doors disguised as bookcases that let us straight from the speakeasy back to the parking lot. What a fun Thursday night! read more

First visit to Barley and Smoke speakeasy in west Peoria. We ordered the Pork Belly appetizer and the Tallow & Bread. The Pork Belly was awesome and it is a must order. One of the best I have had in Arizona Bread had a unique touch with a melting tallow candle but it is nothing super special. We ordered the chef catch sea bass and Santa Maria ribeye for our main dishes. The ambiance is really cool and our server Rain was awesome and very knowledgeable. The sea bass was a large portion and was tasty. The ribeye was good but not great. Ordered medium rare and it was closer to medium. It also had a pico on top and it was a total miss. It does not pair well with the steak. The rosemary potatoes that came with the ribeye were a mixed bag. Some were burnt and others were just right. Have to pay attention when cooking the whole batch. I am not sure if I want to give them another chance. Update, the owner (Matt) came by before we left the restaurant and addressed any concern we might have had. For that reason alone I bumped the review up a full star! "FIMP" Food is my Passion David B read more

Top notch speakeasy experience in Sun City! Barley and Smoke is one of the coolest speakeasies I have been to. You walk into the sports bar and let the hostess know that you have reservations for Barley & Smoke. She guides you through a passage which I won't spoil for you. Magically through a door, a fine dining world opens to you. Complete with a wood fire oven, magical creations are brought to your table. Try the Old Fashion smoked at your table. It is one of the smoothest most aromatic thing you will drink. I had the Tequila with Butterfly pea ice ball cocktail. It was so pretty! The charcuterie board had these yummy pickled leek stalks things. The beat blue cheese I have had...crumbly and rich in flavor. The anduja spread is tangy and spicy: andouille sausage and Spanish chorizo. Then came the melt in your mouth ribeye, wild mushrooms and mash. I loved my Bao Bunn stuffed with the amazing pork belly, red chilies and radish: The sauce!!!! I was transported back to my childhood when my grandmother made Bao Buns stuffed with soy braised fatty pork. Finally, the Mexican chocolate brûlée. I felt like I was in elementary school eating chocolate pudding but with a grownup twist. The torched crust on top was crispy. I loved the sugared mint leaves/ Thank you to our lovely wait staff: Meghan and Brad! Applause to Chef Marco and his team for a fabulous night! I want all my friends to enjoy this space with me again and again. read more

Must make reservations and sit at the bar area for a fabulous experience! I got together with the neighborhood ladies to try out this new speakeasy located inside the Peoria Artisan Brewery. We were escorted through the kitchen into this exquisite intimate setting and greeted by everyone, making us feel welcomed. We took our time reviewing the menu, starting out with different signature cocktails. We tried the English Garden, Smokin' Aces, Black Gotham, a martini, and a drink of the night with rhubarb-all delicious! We shared a couple of starters, the Talo candle & bread and the Japanese purple potatoes-so good! When it was time for the entrees, we ordered the Wagyu burger, 2 orders of the Bao Buns and the Steak. Of course, we all tried a bit of each other's plates and I loved every entree. It is all made not with just love but with passion!! Although this is a speakeasy, there was no secret about us being there due to Fox 10 News filming on the same night so we received messages and pictures of our gang from friends. It was such a delicious & fun experience. I'm sure their desserts as great also however, we choose a second drink instead. Lucky for us we had a driver to take us home! read more

We had high hopes and had been looking forward to checking this place out. It was really loud and hard for us to talk. We kept having to lean across the table to talk to each other. The waitress we had, we had to keep repeating ourselves to her because she couldn't hear us. My husband got his Old Fashion and it was really sticky all over the glass. When we mentioned it to her she said she'd have the bartender make a new one, that's not what we wanted, we just wanted to wipe it off. They remade the drink in the same glass and brought it back sticky still. The waitress would disappear for long periods of time. So I don't think we'll be back. read more

We love this place. Rain has been our waiter twice and she is wonderful. We had friends from out of town and we wanted to take them to a special place. Barley and Smoke did not disappoint. From the cocktails to the main dishes everything was top notch. The grilled ceaser was awesome for a shareable starter. Several had the pork and beans which was amazing. I had the chicken and it was cooked perfectly. We will see you again soon. read more

The ambience was incredible. It gives Great Gatsby/roaring 20s vibes with granite up the wall and across the entire bar.

If you try out this gorgeous, speak easy ask for her. read more

If you are looking for a great local place on the west side, this is it. Great drinks, great food and a cool vibe.

We recently visited Barley & Smoke and unfortunately had a disappointing experience. We ordered the bone marrow, only to be told they were out. Not long after, we watched the bartender eat bone marrow right in front of us, which felt unprofessional and frustrating. She also mentioned it was her "Friday," in a way that came across as hoping we would leave earlier than planned. On top of that, they kept moving "Stella" in and out of the hallway, which was distracting and disrupted the atmosphere. That being said, the server I believe his name was Bradford was a highlight of the evening. He was attentive, professional, and did his best to make the experience enjoyable despite everything else. read more

Took son here for his birthday meal, and we enjoyed the ambiance a great deal. Very cute idea to go thru a brewery to a gorgeous dining area. Service here is fantastic, and they give each seating 2 hours to eat which is plenty. One thing I noticed is that our waitress was working on the counter across the room fixing drinks or meals (couldn't see that well). She put on disposable blue rubber gloves every single time she did something which tells me the owner is very concerned about cleanliness. Many props for this! Now for the food. We got the Tomahawk Tuesday dinner. Normally we eat at Flemings and get that, so I can compare and think that Barley and Smoke's flavor was tastier and more juicy than their competitors. The Yukon potato that came with it was good as was the pre-meat Caesar salad. The desert was creme brulee which could have been better if it wasn't peanut butter with jelly. Cute take on that dessert but just meh. The waitress brought us each 2 homemade truffles which was great. All in all we are definitely coming back here! Now comparing Barley and Smoke vs. Flemings: You get 2 sides of your choice at Flemings which makes it slightly better deal. Then again, I did like the meat at Barley's better. Decisions, decisions. Note: If you use a credit card here, bring your identification. I didn't carry mine as usual for me, nobody ever checks when I hand over my card, but this place will. The poor waitress looked like she was going to lose it when I said I didn't have i.d. on me. Nobody anywhere, restaurants, movies, clothing stores, nobody ever checks but they will here. First time in years anyone checked my i.d. But my son had credit cards on him and paid (even tho it was my treat for his birthday). Just a heads up for those of you who have gotten lax about carrying your i.d. Guess I need to start carrying a purse again..sigh. read more

What a treat! This is the best foodie experience I've had in awhile. The atmosphere is great, small and intimate with subtle lighting and fantastic music. We had the fresh oysters with three unique mignonette sauces. The fresh catch was sea bass (kick his ass sea bass) with fresh cacio d pepe pappardelle. The beignets were perfect, not to sweet and two delicious sauces, berry coulis and a brown butter. I'd recommend getting some for you morning coffee. The service was top notch. Hats off to the chefs, bartenders and waitstaff. Excellent!! This is weird, I know, but the bathroom was really nice. It smelled soooo good and of course it was beautiful. This is a must try for foodies! read more

Small place next door to another connected establishment where they take you through the kitchen into a smaller room with the windows blacked out, to give the vibes of a speak easy. Was nice, but a bit too small and got very stuffy and hot due to them having their own oven and cooking area in the middle of this small room. The food was presented very fancy, but was just okay. The specialty drinks were very fancy and quite tasty. The waitress was very nice and helpful to the menu, but to me it was so overpriced. 4 of us went and shared the tomahawk steak and the bill was just over $500 after taxes. We asked for the tomahawk steak to come out, medium to rare and it came out overdone with no pink at all. Because of the stuffiness, overpriced food and just being too small, I won't be visiting again. read more
