    Reuban
    Luke W.

    Great TGI replacement! My buddy and I dropped in late Friday to a sparkling disco ball Christmas space. Got fantastic service the entire time, noticed an incredible menu of diverse burgers that tugged heart strings and bubbled up appetites, need to try them all before I die. However after sampling two curious ales neither doing it for me, went for the reuban and House cucumber slices. My friend had the beer and half price late night app deal but discovered the apps are slim trim. Not the loaded plates apps should be for these prices, but the spicy curds made a good case! My reuban was excellent. Yet the house spicy pickled cucumber knocked flavors out of the park! I can see this place sticking around a while and hope so.

    Honey chicken salad is always a good bet... I've had it as a wrap and I've had it as a sandwich. Always great. Cucumber salad is always good as well.

    I'm staying at the Doubletree so it was too easy to walk over for dinner. Nice sports bar atmosphere. I ordered my food to go at the bar. I was promptly greeted and served. I got the portabella mushroom Swiss burger and upgraded to a pretzel bun, with potato rounds for a side. Both the burger and potatoes (like sliced tots) were delicious and I couldn't finish the portions were very large. They have a full bar and serve Coke products. The prices were very reasonable and there were so many good menu options. I will be back!

    Made a reservation for our party of 7 and we were immediately sat when we arrived. Service was very good. Were waited on and checked on throughout the meal. We had a wide range of food in our party and all of it had very good reviews! Burgers, pulled pork, mac & cheese, and kids meals. All delicious. First time trying Barrel House out but won't be the last!

    So for all you Yelpers that have lots of negative experiences and it appears there are lots. SIT AT THE BAR! Brittany was a rock star. Managed the bar and the tables with a smile. Yep, prices are a little high but it is hard for restaurants to survive. Fast food prices are out of control and making gobs of money so before you rip a local restaurant take a deep breath. I was in Bloomington on business and stayed next door. So food was excellent and Brittany gave me a run down and went with the Mushroom and Swiss. Really good! Decor was cool (see pic). Everyone in the place was happy and smiling and laughing so as always I take bad reviews with a grain of salt. Please trust my review Barrel House is worth a shot. Again if in doubt whether you drink or not sit at the bar in most restaurants if you can.

    Homemade Chips

    Wow. Like bad wow. Can you give negative stars? Burnt food cooked in old grease with terrible service. May be one of the worst dining experiences I've ever had. Understaffed but when they did come by I mentioned it wasn't great food and there were some issues and it was laughed off. Save your money.

    Fish/Chips mediocre at best

    Im not hard to please but If you like mediocre service/food this your spot. Sat at the bar greeted with a nod. 1 beer in almost an hour before asked. Captive audience from the hotel taken for granted. Servers had no clue who ordered what at the bar. Thank his 1 night here. Only time I got a smile and TY when I got presented the bill!

Pub II is a good place for watching games or any sports. Has good specials on drinks. The food is pretty average as expected. A pretty crowded place and last time here it was crazy. It's got plenty of room inside but there's mostly empty space in the middle. This is so there's a place for dancing, twerking, or whatever. Afternoons are less hectic but still busy. This is where to watch football on weekends. Even so, we were able to get seats at the bar. It's about $6 for Jameson. Good price to be honest. The food isn't anything special. Especially limited in healthy options. It's about $9 for the Jumbo Bavarian Pretzel. Big ass one good to share among a few. This comes with beer cheese and honey mustard. This is good with regular mustard too. Other food options include greasy burgers. This is more of a place to drink than to eat to be honest. Campus bar that has some good prices on beers and food. It's open late. This is also close to the Amtrak station.

The potatoes were also pretty solid. The flavored tea was nice, it just needed a bit of sugar. Our waitress was super friendly and made the experience even better. She was enthusiastic and enjoyed sharing her favorite menu items, which I appreciated. The ambiance was very welcoming, and I liked how open the space felt. The only downside was that the host who seated us seemed a little short when asking if we had reservations, especially when I asked if they were required.

Got a flight- moon jumper (smoky), black angel (a little on the burnt side), blackberry gose, pumpkin porter (spicy but not fake pumpkin flavor spicy). Beer battered asparagus for the appetizer- delicious! Crunchy which was great! Husband and I split a bacon pickle pizza (omg!!) and spicy chicken sandwich with wedges (huge, thick potato slices). Definitely recommend the pizza, so flavorful! Spicy chicken was both hot and spicy from the jalapeños and sweet from the sauce. Madysen was our server and was amazing and attentive! If it wasn't 2.5 hours away we'd be regulars! Lots of parking available.
