My wife's parents were the first to mention this place to us. They had been in the area a little while back for an event and stopped here, later telling us how much they enjoyed it. Based on their recommendation, we decided to make it one of the stops on our exploration of the area. Parking was easy to find--we were able to grab a spot right on the street close to the front entrance. From the moment we walked inside, the atmosphere pulled us in. The decor immediately stood out with its forest and nature-inspired theme. It has a rustic, almost park-like charm, with accents that give a nod to the outdoors and even a touch of mountain biking or adventure culture woven into the details. It felt cozy yet lively, the kind of space that makes you want to linger for a while. We chose a table near the front window, which gave us a nice view and plenty of natural light. Menus and waters were brought over quickly, and the service throughout our visit was attentive without being rushed. As we looked over the menu, we were impressed by the variety--there seemed to be something for everyone, from hearty comfort food to lighter, creative dishes. My wife decided on the pear and blue cheese salad topped with steak bites, while I went for the bacon burger, opting to skip the garlic aioli and tomato. While we waited, we enjoyed talking about the rest of our day's plans, but it wasn't long before our meals arrived. The presentation was spot-on--everything looked fresh and inviting. My wife's salad was colorful and beautifully put together, with generous pieces of steak that paired perfectly with the sweet pear and tangy blue cheese. My burger was just as good as it looked: juicy, flavorful, and well-balanced with the smoky bacon. Each bite was satisfying, and it was clear that the ingredients were fresh and prepared with care. We left feeling very happy with our choice. It was a great stop, and while the food alone was enough to make the visit worthwhile, we also noticed the large selection of beers on tap that we didn't get a chance to try this time. That just gives us another reason to return. Next time, we'll definitely pair the meal with a beer flight or two. Overall, this place checked all the boxes: welcoming atmosphere, great service, delicious food, and plenty left to explore on the menu. A spot worth coming back to for sure.
Ive been here over a few dozen times and no matter what it's been phenomenal. In the middle of COVID with only one worker working. Currently at full staff. The food is always aolid solid. There's been no point we were dissatisfied. The Inside is freaking adorable. We've had everything on the menu it's been amazing.
Hailey is the best waitress and very sweet as well. $18.00 for the burger and $3.50 for the the fries. So $21.50 total. The burger there on the buns are very thin. I had not been there in about a year. They burgers seemed to be thinner and smaller and the price is higher than when I was there last time. I ordered the burger medium and it came out well done. Oh well. They were really nice to cut the burger in half for us since we said we were splitting it. I guess my question is if the chef knows the burger is supposed to be medium and he/she cut it in half wouldn't you think the chef would notice that it's well done as opposed to way I ordered it as medium. The burger was so sloppy with all the lettuce, onion and the sauce they put on it that I could not eat it as my hands were covered in drippy watery sauce. So I just took the meat off of the bun and ate the meat and left the bun and veggies on the plate. The wings were not as good as I remember either. I was really craving their wings too. But I was disappointed with the mango and kung pao wings. It seems like they have been going with a different supplier for their wings. Just not as great as I was hoping or nearly as good as they used to be. The beers were good tho. Happy hour is 2-4 so we just missed it. The place was packed too. I might give this place another try on another year. The double burger at Wendy's is a better deal for half the price.
The beer was pretty good! The space is casual and comfortable. The service was good if a bit harried. That said, it was super busy. The food took forever and the coating on my fish and chips was burnt tasting. The pub platter was good but the cheese sauce was broken. We might go back for the beer but not the fish and chips.
Barrel Mountain Brewing has an old wooden rustic vibe inside. It feels kind of dark and has vintage decor. There's bar seating, regular and hightop tables, and outdoor patio tables. We went at dinner time and were seated immediately. We ordered the shaved Brussel sprouts, the bacon burger, the kids Mac n cheese, and the luv ya lager. The shaved Brussel sprouts are not something I would order again. They were drenched in oil and lacked flavor. The bacon burger was delicious. The garlic aioli added a nice flavor. I would have liked the burger a little less cooked so that it would be more juicy. The brioche bun was soft and fresh. The Mac n cheese was creamy. The flavor was great and I would get this again too. The luv ya lager was a nice refreshing light beer. Service at Barrel Mountain was great too. I enjoyed my visit here and would return!
Battle Ground WA. M and I ride through here on our Harleys almost every sunny day. Today trying out the grub spots and the reviews on this place were pretty good. M had the Elk burger but subbed the veggie patty and I had the Kung Pao wings. I liked the wings and her,the burger. Glad they had a real beer on tap at 9% and the cider for M. All in all pretty good except our server we never really saw and had to ask other people to get boxes, cash us out, etc. Other than that pretty positive experience.
I have been tasting fish and chips around the Pacific Northwest for a few years as part of a project to find the best of the best. Way back in the late 1990's is I had some salmon fish and chips at a place called the Malahat Mountain Inn near Victoria, British Columbia, that knocked my socks off. That place is sadly no longer with us, but I have been trying to find some that rise to that standard. A few notable entries in the best of list: Trillium Cafe in Hood River: They used to have dreamy albacore tuna fish and chips. Their new version is still very good, but the albacore was slightly better. I still recommend them. The Salt Hotel and Pub in Ilwaco, Washington: Tender, flaky, and crispy with killer fries. Gracie's Sea Hag in Depoe Bay, Oregon: A little more pedestrian, but still yummy. My favorite used to be the Rose and Thistle in Portland, but new ownership and a different recipe dethroned them as the kings of the craft. Enter Barrel Mountain Brewing in Battle Ground, Washington, with its woodsmoke tinged dining room, and friendly staff. Barrel Mountain Brewing takes fish and chips to a higher level than I've tasted since Malahat Mountain. They use steelhead trout, which is like salmon, but milder. The batter was crispy, not doughy, and with no oil flavor. It stayed crispy through the meal, which is very important. The fish was perfectly cooked, tender and flaky. While the steelhead is slightly less flavorful than salmon, they were not afraid to let is taste like fish. There is nothing worse than fish and chips that have no fish flavor. The tartar sauce was savory and herbal, not cloying and sweet. I did not have to doctor it with lemon, salt and pepper like at some places. I've had excellent fish ruined by a sugary tartar sauce. The coleslaw was not too sweet. It had an unusual flavor, but not in a bad way. I liked it, but it was the weak part of the meal. The fries were thin and crispy with lots of crunchy bits to savor. They pass the salt test (needing only salt as a flavoring, even as they cool down). Many fries get soggy, need ketchup to mask diminishing flavor. I added nothing that did not come on the plate, not even salt. That's a first. The foundations of my fish and chips edifice have been shaken. A new order has emerged. These were the best I've had. Give them a try. Make a pilgrimage if you have to.
If you find yourself in battle ground Washington this place is worth stopping in and trying out a brew and if you got time get some food the steak bites are always great.
OMG. One of the best meals we've had in a long time. We split the Steelhead Tacos and Fish & Chips. I honestly can't decide which was more delicious! The Fish & Chips had the most perfect batter ever. It was thin and crispy with amazing flavor from the beer and spices used that elevated the fish without overpowering. The fish itself was juicy and tender easily breaking apart with just a slight push down of the fork. The tartar sauce was sooo unique; it had a hint of heat from the peppers but still hit all the relish notes you'd want and expect. The fries were shoestring style and amazing. Crispy shell with a soft center and super salty and not greasy at all. I've never eaten so many fries from a single dish in my life. We got the garlic aioli on the side for the fries and it was dynamite! Finally, the tacos were so delightful. Again, the fish was cooked perfectly with a nice blackened sear from Cajun seasoning which had just the right amount of heat. It is paired with creamy, sweet, and tangy toppings including a pineapple salsa, slaw, and a crema of some sort that left my mouth watering for more! Oh, and their beer is great. lol But that shouldn't be a surprise. I love the No Bad Days IPA which is widely available in the PNW. Tonight I tried the Unplug IPA which was a West Coast style with big hoppy and fruity flavors. Our waitress was so sweet and very attentive. The inside of the restaurant is very kitschy and cute. They have a dog-friendly patio, but it was raining, so he stayed in the camper tonight and took a nap to recover from hiking. But in sunny weather, the patio looks so relaxing to sit in. Can't wait to come back.
Service was slow at first but they absolutely made up for it as time went by- they were very busy. Food was truly next level. I love the outdoor space and ambiance.
Barrel Mountain is absolutely one of my favorites. You could definitely call me a regular. It's the kind of place that feels like home, and that's exactly what I love about it. The staff, the other regulars, and the familiar atmosphere make it such a special spot. Everyone knows everyone, and that small-town feeling is what makes it so meaningful. I've been coming regularly since early 2024, and it has become a place where I can relax, catch up with friends, and spend time journaling to my heart's content. I know it's a little unusual to journal there, but that's what I do. I usually get a kombucha and wings, and sometimes a half salad during happy hour. More recently, I've been working my way through the menu, and I haven't found a single thing I didn't enjoy. The portions are generous and filling, often leaving me with leftovers, and the flavors are always excellent. read more

Honestly I was hesitant to try this place. It's small it's quaint but the food outshined all my thoughts and expectations. We tried the bacon cheese burger and the prairie burger. We also had the chili pineapple wings and a beer flight. It was $67 before tip but honestly the quality made it so worth it. The wings were perfection. Coated in sauce but still crispy. The heat level was great and the pineapple really added to it. Also they were some of the meatiest wings I've had. The burgers were cooked perfectly with actually crispy bacon!? Amazing! Their house kettle chips are great too. My dude got the salad and it was fantastic - I'd eat an entree size in a heartbeat. It's small, it's cute, make sure to get their at a decent time as tables fill up fast. Highly recommend!!! read more
The Battle Ground of my childhood was a small and conservative community of farmers, loggers and other blue collar folks. There were a few greasy-spoon type diners, and a handful of trading post-type general stores that provided everything from feed and farm supplies, to shoelaces and groceries. However, the Battle Ground I remember as a kid is growing up! These days it's not uncommon to hear my Portland friends say, "we're going antiquing in Battle Ground this weekend," or, "have you been to the so-and-so winery in Battle Ground?" It always makes me chuckle. This new and improved Battle Ground has paved the way for boutique shops, specialty stores, and eclectic family run businesses like Barrel Mountain Brewing. Barrel Mountain Brewing is is everything Portland hipsters hope for in a restaurant, just without the hype and pretense. Expect to find good food, good beer, and good people at Barrel Mountain, leaving parking headaches and hour-plus waitlists for bigger towns further south. I've been to Barrel Mountain Brewing twice, and both occasions were immensely enjoyable. The staff were incredibly polite and helpful, going out of their way to make sure my elderly grandmother was comfortable. The restaurant is extremely dog-friendly, offering an expansive patio with picnic table and bar seating. The waitstaff have large bowls of fresh water available for your pooch, as well as lots of ear scratches and pats on the head. They're a very warm and inviting crew here. The menu is a delightful collection of northwest-inspired dishes made with locally sourced ingredients. They offer the usual pub fare, as well as more elevated dishes with excellent presentation. My Seafood Alfredo was remarkable, with blackened steelhead, prawns and artichoke. I believe I may have exclaimed, "oh my god, this is so good," multiple times throughout the meal. It was that good. My friends ordered bacon Mac and cheese, and a variety of appetizers that were equally as appealing. We had a great time sampling all the dishes at the table. If you are looking for an enjoyable weekend excursion, I highly suggest heading out to Battle Ground for a meal at Barrel Mountain Brewing, and some bargain hunting at the antique shops nearby. read more

Friendly service at this local spot. Great selection of their beers on tap. Lots of brewery style food options; burgers, wings, sandwiches, salads, and an amazing bacon mac & cheese. I'm a fan of the beet medley and Beet Me Up salad. Typical pub ambience: moderately noisy with music and conversations in an open are restur read more

Ok my second review, but I haven't been to Barrel Mountain Brewery in a long time. Anyway, I brought a friend from Louisiana who recently relocated here. She was amazed of the food offered and the craft beer too. Stairway Stout is my favorite, love a great dark beer. Today I ordered the Steelhead Sandwich. My oh my, 2 full pieces of Steelhead Salmon on my Sandwich. My Sandwich had to be 6 inches tall decked out with a delicious Coleslaw. No way I could eat it all in one sitting. So delicious and highly recommend if your wanting fish. My Louisiana friend had the BBQ Pork Sandwich, another plentiful meal. I would say, you have to try Barrel Mountain, you will not be disappointed. read more

The food here is really, really good. The chicken wings might be my favorite. They are fried but aren't drenched in breading. Juicy, flavorful, and large! They have a happy hour from 2-4 and a great beer list too. Had the half price firecracker shrimp appetizer and the slaw underneath might have been the highlight. read more

I dig it. Located in DT battle ground. Parking was easy a few hundred feet from the entrance. Dog friendly (saw a pupper come in with their owners). I ordered steak bites app and subbed ranch (too much sugar in bbq usually). Dad got nachos and said they were great. Both of our meats were pretty tender and better than expected. We had a good time catching up and it was relaxed environment. I picked a spot I could still see the ballgame. Would definitely come back. read more
