Open less than 2 weeks, Owner Gary and Server Amanda did a great job making us feel welcome with their friendliness + tasty food and drinks. The back deck was perfect on a warm evening and we enjoyed the trains, some stationary and some passing by, which created a cool industrial vibe. Favorites on the menu were the Sinful Tots, Crab Mac n Cheese, the Beet It salad (great dressing and not overdressed) and the Steak Sandwich. Service was friendly and professional. It's tucked away behind a giant hedge but worth looking for. Ample free parking a plus! read more

Yum yum yum. All our dishes were delicious. Plates are well served and drinks are incredible. We got patio seating that was comfortable for our group of 5. Service also 10/10. read more

Barrel & Bacon - Ube French toast - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Amazing food and fantastic cocktail menu. A comfortable atmosphere. The katsu chicken and waffles was out of this world!

Food was awesome, service was great and ambience was on point! We stayed for a bit and totally enjoyed ourselves, loved their old school music 80-90s vibe ...don't know what that other lady was talking about on her review but she's mistaken. Definitely going back! Btw, Dungeness Crab Mac & Cheese was delish!!! read more

A dog-friendly outdoor patio with yummy food. Ube cocktail and wings for the win! Trains make a special appearance for transportation geeks like myself. read more

Barrel & Bacon - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Best brunch in Belltown! If you're looking for scrumptious brunch fare with a Filipino flare, this is the place to go! Their ube waffle and chicken and ube French toast are an ube-lover's dream! The breakfast burger B&B signature burgers will satisfy any appetite. We don't drink alcohol, but those who do say the cocktails are the bomb. This is a must go to place when in Seattle. I only wish they served brunch on Saturdays too! read more

LOVED this place! Great food, great service and atmosphere, and fun cocktail menu. The ube waffle was to DIE for!! So YUMMO! And they have their own parking lot - you can't beat that convenience when it comes to Seattle. proper. Can't wait to go back! read more

The food was the best!! Craft cocktails AND mocktails. Splurged for the Sinful Tots, not the tots I remember as a kid. As someone else mentioned, it's a little hard to find but worth it!! read more

Most amazing cocktails, great ambiance and LOVED the staff and music. Can't recommend this place enough, will be back (the craft cocktails are so so delicious)! read more

Barrel & Bacon - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Back again to conquer more of this phenomenal menu!! We had to get the sinful tots again, but otherwise tried other items. We had the pretzel with cheese sauce (GET THE NUTELLA), crab Mac, bnb signature burger, steak sandwich, and twisted bourbon glazed pound cake. The crab Mac was light while still indulgent with high quality crab and crispy prosciutto to add the perfect crunch in every bite. The burger had all you could need and wish for with the best bacon jam (maybe a bit different than last time, made with more love??) and the side salad was perfectly dressed. My favorite part was the pound cake. Truly grilled with a smoky flavor paired with fluffy mascarpone. Im always a sucker for dessert. Thank you so much Roxanne and Gary for amazing hospitality again! Best ambiance for an evening with friends. read more

I really wanted to love this place but I only liked it. the appetizers were great but the ube collection was not good at all. had no ube flavor and tasted like butter and cream cheese. The manager was really rude when I expressed that I didn't like it and he told me that it's the most popular so I should have liked it.... Anyways really liked the server she was great! read more

They were so good! They brought home the bacon but there were no barrels (???), maybe that's named after the distillery next door. Lots of Ube! I love Ube and their Ube items were delicious. Ube drink had Ube, coconut, and Calamansi. Ube French toast had Ube cream cheese (mascarpone???), Ube paste, and was a delicious dessert to finish up. Ube Chicken and Waffles??? We didn't have that. The service was excellent! Everyone was so nice and did a great job pressuring/encouraging us to order more but in a nice way. The ambiance was simple and relaxed. Come here for the Ube stay for the Silly Gang (???? Sinigang) wings. We took the sauce home because it was so sweet and tangy and we dipped the rest of the menu items into it. Mac n' cheese burger is a 10/10 but it fell apart which was crazy. Not for small stomachs or lactose intolerant ppl. Happy hours 4-6pm every day I think. Good deal. read more

Had reservations but somehow ended up being a whole hour early. Even though the place was busy the hostess seated us and our server took our order quickly. Ube waffle and katsu chicken? SAY LESS! It came with coleslaw that just complimented the whole dish perfectly. Recommend! Will be returning soon. read more

Outstanding food, service and atmosphere! I can't believe we've never heard of this place before (although they've only been open since June). We selected a variety of options from the menu and bar and they were all spectacular- with the ube French toast (for dessert) taking the crown - so inventive & yummy! My only criticism is for the pricing of their 'specialty craft cocktails' - those were pretty steep ($$$$). None of the ones we wanted were on their HH menu (of course) so I don't think we'll indulge w/any of those when we return, but we will definitely be back. The food and ambiance will be our draw. read more

Very friendly staff with a great pretzel bun burger. Would definitely recommend if you're into burgers!

Excellent burgers, salads, tots, and drinks! Also priceless train watching for the kids.

Best ever the food is fabulous. If you haven't been there you are missing out on a great experience. A unique experience in a relaxing atmosphere that you should not miss. Everything I had wings, beet salad, dessert were so good I wanted to go back the next night. Service was welcoming and exceptional. Thanks to the whole staff perfect meal. read more

Now I know where I'm having brunch for evermore. So delicious. The ube French toast was such a treat. Now I want to try everything on the menu! read more

Great service, good food, and a good set up! Lots of parking. We went for dinner before a show downtown but this would also be a great happy hour spot. The elote riblets were amazing. The drinks we got were very nicely done as well! read more

I totally trusted in Yelp ratings to find a new restaurant for dinner with friends. It is not very often that you find a restaurant with nothing but five-star reviews. There is a reason for that - they deserve it! Our group of baby boomers did not indulge in any of the craft cocktails - only in cheese burgers and fries. That was THE BEST cheeseburger I have ever had hands down. The service was top notch as well, making Barrel & Bacon a delicious night out. read more

We randomly chose this place to eat and everything we had was delish! Definitely recommend and want to see this new restaurant be successful. read more

Everything was absolutely delicious!! Service and ambiance amazing too! Would definitely recommend coming here for a date night :) read more

Barrel & Bacon - The signature burger and ube french toast - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Seattle, Washington

Had a bite to eat here recently and it was wonderful. Will be back. Carlos was an awesome server and provided great recommendations for food and drinks. read more

Went there for brunch. Unbelievably slow. The server said they are short of staff. The space is not packed at all and everything takes forever. read more

Do not miss out on this hidden gem. I would not have known this restaurant was here unless it was recommended to me from someone who lives in my building. I finally went today, and I was not disappointed. The owner, Gary, started this place a little over a year ago. Challenged by the innocuous locale, this place delivers everything you'd be excited to share when you find a hole in the wall, a path less travelled that was worth it. The food is amazing. Ranging from delicious bites like Mac n cheese, tots, and pork belly, to show stopping burgers and chicken sandwiches, and not the least of which is the specials and dessert menu with French toast. Brunch is a thing here and the food is so well crafted. The owner goes out of his way for fresh ingredients and to make the right ingredients himself! The cocktails are incredible. I had an amazing bacon old fashioned, topped only by a mezcal old fashioned. I know, that's a bit scandalous but it was worth it. Because I ate so much I couldn't do a full dessert but I did have a cocktail reminiscent of a fruity pebble rice crispy treat. I will definitely be coming back here and I hope you give them a try. As a fledgling restaurant that serves food worthy of a long-running and seasoned establishment, you are going to want to try them more than once. read more

My boyfriend and I were looking for a highly rated local restaurant for Friday night dinner and drinks where we could sit outside with our dog on a beautiful Seattle evening. We are no stranger to the industrial neighborhood, in fact we live just on the other side of the train yard. Unfortunately, when we pulled up, we were a bit confused about the outdoor seating area. We didn't want to bring the dog in through the restaurant so my boyfriend went in and asked about being dog friendly and the outdoor seating situation. A kind bartender led us through a gate with a padlock on it behind the building to a gravel area between a barbed wire fence and the restaurant. The server was kind and offered us waters right away and ensured us the train would pass soon... it did not. Sitting 20 feet away from a cargo train going 60 mph, screeching on the tracks was not what we expected... we unfortunately left too soon to try anything on the menu. We will definitely be ordering take out another time, but we will not be eating outside and I do not recommend anyone doing the same. The business should reconsider their outdoor seating area situation. Additionally they should reconsider advertising being pet friendly as the outdoor area is pretty unfriendly to people let alone dogs. read more

Amazing food and amazing couple that served us!!! They were so kind and fun. Definitely go check it out and come hungry

The food was very unique. The owner came and chatted and said she uses some of her mother's recipes. The waitress was very accommodating and the staff was very friendly. The ambiance was inviting and clean . People were very friendly! read more

New spot, one month old. Delicious blackberry-forward cocktail, well executed beet and grilled cheese salad, and generously sized burgers (we tried the bacon and a chicken katsu). We subbed in the fancy truffle tots. NICE and friendly owner (Gary) and bartender Amanda. Gary has a background in the mobile cocktail bar events business so I expect the drinks here to be top-notch. Give them a try! read more

Loved the Silly Gang Wings - we were expecting sweet but these savory tamarind marinade wings were a pleasant surprise. Same with the Chicken and Ube Waffle - basics were well done, but there was a nuanced caramelization in the panko for the chicken that really hit just right. VERY tasty and the service was great; we were also happy to hear they are planning to expand to offer brunch in the future. We are out in Magnolia and short of driving into Ballard or downtown there's not a huge range of options, so we are very happy to welcome this addition to the neighborhood. I don't usually bother to write reviews, but I want to see this place make it! :) read more

got a passionfruit cocktail, ube french toast, and phili cheesesteak rolls. Everything was good (the french toast was actually less sweet than I was hoping for, which was surprising) and came pretty quickly. Easy to park. read more

This is my first review ever and I cannot say enough great things about this spot. The food was amazing and service was top notch. It's a hidden gem. Elote riblets I almost licked the plate. The Ube French toast with the chicken sandwich. Need to go back. read more

Great food at a great price. Drinks are unique and very good. Great experience all the way around

What a beautiful little treasure! The drinks were top tier, and the food was 1000% delicious. The service was friendly and very prompt. The place is clean, good vibes, and an excellent parking situation. read more

A nice place for dinner or just some wine with dessert. A friendly bartender Gary is running this restaurant with all of his heart.

Fantastic cocktails? Yes! Fantastic food? Yes! Fantastic staff? Yes! They're the new kids on the block; going into their second week(?). I can't wait to see how they grow. I can't wait to go back. PS: Whoo hoo! Bonus of parking! read more

A reservation opened up and we grabbed it. I was very impressed with the food. It was brunch so I did my usual eggs and bacon, which isn't a great exploration of their food but I never make it at home so... It was perfect! My friend has the ube French toast which was huge and not too sweet. There are so many things I would love to go back and try. Someone next to me had the chicken and waffle which looked like a generous portion. The service was attentive with very nice servers who told us about Seattle cocktail week. The Ube, raspberry (?) drink was amazing! All good! read more

I've been to their sister restaurant in Las Vegas so when I heard that Barrel & Bacon was opening in Seattle I was quite excited. The Tots and the Mac & Cheese burger are AHHMAZING! Will definitely be back in the future! read more

Excellent food and service. Added bonus of having free and available parking, a perk of location. My wife and I shared the Buffalo Mac (happy hour size), Barrel & Bacon Signature Burger, and the Ube Waffle & Chicken. I had an Ube Me to drink. We were happy with everything. My wife kept saying, "Five stars!" ... and yes, that is out of five. The drink was very sweet and creamy, which is right up my alley. If you don't like sweet drinks, pretty much every other cocktail sounded tempting. The mac was rich and the bacon crispy. The burger was cooked to juicy perfection. The Waffle and chicken were cooked to crispy perfection. Our server Genevieve was great - very attentive. We'll be back. read more
