Vinyls for sale.
Vanessa G.

This is a really cool spot to grab a drink. We came here the weekend of Thanksgiving and there was a dj spinning vinyls. The vinyls were also for sale too. I loved the vibe of the music. They do not offer food to purchase, but there are complimentary snacks and water. You can also order from a nearby restaurant and eat your food in the bar. There are menus of local places and some will bring the food to you. I enjoyed a couple hard seltzers and I will definitely return when I am in the area.

Surprisingly the best aspects of Barrelhouse are not their beers but their live entertainment and occasional food trucks. Parking isn't the greatest as it's shared with other popular establishments. It's not too hard to find parking in the afternoon but they're packed when musicians start performing. The menus are displayed clearly on the screen and they most notably have a recurring beer slushie. The beers don't rotate often and consist mostly of pale ales and IPAs. The pours are good and most are offered as a taster, pint and growler. I would love to see pitchers being an option as many groups come in but that's not currently on the menu. The service is minimal and I've always had middling interactions. I wouldn't expect too much warmth or fun vibes from the staff. There are occasional food trucks in the back and the options are often tasty. There are also games for kids and adults to participate in alike. Barrelhouse has good music and ambiance on a regular basis although the staff doesn't seem to contribute to the vibes. Hopefully Barrelhouse can join the other breweries in serving pitchers.

So this is a cool place, but if you're not a regular don't expect anything special. I come here probably monthly; I appreciate that it is pretty chill and the servers are nice. However, if you are not a REGULAR don't expect any kind of real support or help or treatment. I saw they were advertising Oktoberfest, so for my birthday, I invited my family. I got here at 11 and bought a commemorative boot stein, and drank away. Brought board games to do with my family. I wanted to buy a big stein, but they were saving them for a competition. No problem! I asked the bartender and she said I could buy it IF I did the competition, so I did. So did my brother-in-law, who won! Afterwards, both she and the bearded bartender-supervisor-leader? guy said they couldn't sell it because of another competition, so it's cool. Imagine my surprise to see them selling those steins not fifteen minutes later. So I came and asked to try to get one, and watched as they sold them to regulars they know, shaking hands and laughing. I got to the bar, and they said "sorry, we sold out." I said I was waiting and they kind of shrugged. One nice bartender apologized for the misunderstanding. Anyways I just sucked it up and went to my table, and then choked on sadness as I saw them sell TWO MORE of the steins to people - either regulars or friends of the bartender who got it and handshakes and went off enjoying their big stein I had been desperately trying to buy all day. I guess my review is this: Good beer, chill atmosphere, but if you're not a regular you're not that important. I guess it's fair, just a bummer.

We were visiting from out of town and thought we were at BarrelHouse Brewing, which we had read about online. Unfortunately, we were at Stacked, and wow, what a difference a couple of feet make. Once we realized where we were, we moved to Barrelhouse, which was much different with a relaxed atmosphere, an incredible band, Bohareggae, and a really good oatmeal stout. A lot of people, but not too crowded for a Friday night.

Cute place! Set up is nice. Good variety of beer. I tried the strawberry blonde they have. Amazing! They had food in the outside area. I didn't try it out, but smelled great. I definitely would recommend & return.

A great brewery off Main Street Visalia... Amazing tap selection, a little bit of everything for everyone. The staff was great, very helpful and friendly. They actually don't serve food, but had a food cart on the back patio area and they did let us bring in burgers from next door. The brewery is dog friendly on a leash. Even gave our a small biscuit. A must try for good .

BarrelHouse is my favorite brewery to visit just not this location. Parking is not great here as it's all on the street and for the ladies I doubt this is someplace I'd want to park at night. We had to park two blocks away on a Monday afternoon. Once your inside it's a typical BarrelHouse styling but this location does have pinball which I haven't seen at the other locations. The beer here is great but service at this location was very poor as it was understaffed and could tell the one guy working was burned out. With one person in front of me it took 15 minutes to get our delicious beverages. If your a BarrelHouse fan like we my order of preference is Paso Robles, Fresno, San Luis Obisbo, and then Visalia. This location has a lot of potential if they could staff it and possibly do something about parking situation.

Love this place. The staff are friendly and enhancing. Food is not served here but! You are allowed to bring in food from another location. This establishment strictly serves beer and beer only. There are vendors that do park in the back and serve food on some nights. The decor feel this place gives is modern local country tavern / barn house / kick back spot. This is a family friendly bar so don't be shocked to see some offspring running around lol. But it's all and good taste and fun. Choose your favorite beer or flight of beers and kick back and enjoy the Barrelhouse Brewery experience. The backyard is cool too :0). I highly recommend! And I will be back!

This is the view inside the women's cute bathroom stall.

Always a nice treat for a visiting foreigner who thinks Americans don't like soccer. Only thing is they are pretty stingy about tasting beer, like do you really think 8 people showed up to waste your time and not buy anything? Idk that's just me, I've been to loads of breweries where you can taste 2-3 beers especially if it's your first time visiting, and no one bats an eye. Here I like the Martillo and the Breakaway. Food is usually great, they do a rotation of local food trucks and catering companies most often tacos but I've seen pizza or ice cream. The doors are wide open, you're basically in a metal oven with limited insulation, though they clearly tried their best it's still the valley... the coolest spots are more central where they have Big Ass swamp coolers running. If you come with old people they won't be able to hear sitting right next to them. Everything is clean an orderly, looks well-managed. Caters to a crowd that already has kids probably ages 35-40, I think the owners can probably try some ideas to bring in young people in the sub-30 range and more groups of singles. Club offers adult and kid sports and that works well, there's a nice sense of community going and you can also watch games on any of the large TVs. Mix of games on usually soccer even the random foreign league you've never heard of (not just Premier or UEFA).

It's a small brown building with a small parking lot next to it. It's nice though that its open at 0630 so that the nightshift hospital staff can come here and decompress or send me off on my last day. First thing you notice about this place is the smell of urine from the bathrooms. You get use to it after a bit. As well as the "regulars" hanging out at the bar area. It's extremely small. Area for a pool table, some tables at the far end by the bathrooms, and a long bar counter. At least the tvs are nice and clear and big to watch games or sports as need be. There was a good 18 of us here. Prices are rediculously cheap. I'm glad they understand it's a dive bar and should thus be dive bar prices. A michelada was $4. A mimosa was $5. Bag of chips was $1. They have these sour candy shots for $4. The sour candy shots were really good. Michelada was simple. Bloody Mary mix with beer. But they were well made. I also had a crown royal apple with redbull that was really good. I don't remember how many drinks we went thru but it did the job and we were all feeling good. Customer service is good. Dude working behind the bar worked fast. I hear this place is pretty good when the sun is up, but has a pretty rough reputation at night with lots of shady people coming in at night. I definitely wouldn't come in here by my self even in the day time. But with a large group it's pretty cool. Nice and cheap. If you don't mind the urine smell and dilapidated look.

They had a special featuring three gin drinks and every one we tried was phenomenal. My favorite was the Flower Power, but the Nekocha was absolutely amazing. We started with the baked feta and Kalamata olive tapenade, which was rich, creamy, and delicious. For entrées, the NY strip was cooked perfectly and paired beautifully with the red wine reduction. The roasted chicken was incredibly moist and complemented well by the sautéed spinach and shiitake mushrooms. The sunset view made the evening even better. We were so full we had to skip the celebration dessert, which says a lot because we definitely would have ordered one otherwise!

We got the spicy shrimp appetizer,12 oz New York strip, the lobster with mash potato's and Mac and cheese. Food was okay, price tag was steep for the quality. Especially considering, the "from the grill" section did not come with a side had to be ordered separate and food came out lukewarm but flavor was good (except the mash potato's they were bland). Drinks were good. Additional note: having bathroom lights that are on sensors, don't work well for people in stalls. Having to sit in a dark restroom while using the facilities is not an enjoyable experience. Two stars because the overall vibe is decent and drinks are good. Food is just ok for a luxury price and staff is not set up for success.
