You can't spell Barley's without "bar", and Barley's has everything you'd expect in a bar. A good…read moreamount of beers, decent food, dancing downstairs, and pool, darts, and trivia upstairs. I've been a few times now. First time I ordered the Philly steak sandwich. It was fine but the pita was an odd choice as the bread. Also the chili on the side was clearly canned. Second time I ordered a calzone. The calzone was very girthy (good), very doughy (bad), and a lot of filling (good). Third time I had The Orange & White pizza, basically a buffalo chicken pizza with bacon, ricotta, and mozzarella. Now they are known for their pizzas but I've heard mixed reviews and honestly, the pizza was fine. No complaints. Perhaps a bit too much bleu cheese that hijacked the flavor but overall not a bad pizza. Barley's is a good place to hang out in Old City, especially on trivia and dancing nights.

One of the worst dining experiences I've had in a long time…read more Jessica R. was more interested in socializing with another table than doing the job she was being paid to do. We sat with empty drinks, waited far too long for service, and were repeatedly ignored while she spent her time chatting and flirting elsewhere. It was obvious where her priorities were, and taking care of her customers wasn't one of them. No one expects perfection, but basic attentiveness shouldn't be too much to ask. We came in expecting good food and decent service. Instead, we got frustration, long waits, and the feeling that our business simply didn't matter. This was my first visit to Barley's Taproom & Pizzeria, and it will absolutely be my last. There are too many restaurants that actually value their customers to waste another dollar here.

It wasn't crowded inside, there are a lot of seating options for big or small groups. Several tables could seat at least 6. Michael was bartending when we went. He did a great job at making us feel like locals! He was attentive even though it was quite busy from people coming in from the parade. The arcade area was pretty cool. Each side had a bar, but only one was open at the time we went. We didn't get food, but it looked like they had some yummy options from what we saw get delivered to other tables. The music was good. The people were friendly as well. This is definitely a place we would return to if we come back in town!

Give a 4 but was really thinking 3.5 stars just because of the food (I didn't order any drinks and…read moreit was a quick stop in). I saw the ramen on the Yelp pictures and it spoke to me, so I walked in and ordered some. You have to stand in line at the bar to order your food so that took awhile, but the food came out pretty quick. I wasn't too impressed with the ramen, and I've had ramen all over the world. The broth was good, I enjoyed the spicy flavor. However, having tomatoes in the ramen was weird and I didn't enjoy that. My biggest complaint is there was very little meat in the ramen, like 2 small chunks of brisket. It seems like a great place to have drinks and hang out, but as far as the food it was meh to me.

Awful customer service. The restaurant's AC went out two days prior to my large party's…read morereservation. At no point was this communicated during their reservation confirmation call and in fact, the corporate manager, Monica Green, actually explicitly directed her staff NOT to tell diners of the AC not working (as told to me by an unnamed employee). You can imagine our surprise, and sweaty discomfort, as my group of 16 showed up for our reservation and the internal temperature of the restaurant easily exceeded 85 degrees, making dining there completely out of the question as the heat/ humidity was unbearable. What a slimy bait and switch tactic and talk about an unbelievably shortsighted business mindset. I organize dinners, meetings and events for a large company in the Eastern Tennessee area. Not only will this restaurant never make a dime from me or any of my colleagues, but we will tell everyone we know about this horrible experience and the deceitful tactics of management. We completely understand that the AC going out is out of management's control but intentionally not informing diners of the intolerable temperature was a calculated and deliberate choice. What a shame. Best of luck to you, Monica, you're going to need it if this is how you run a business.

The venue itself has a very wide variety, especially in the whiskey and bourbon selections. Tried to post the menu, sorry if i messed that up. There are plenty of seats around but do expect some mingling to happen (as things get tight when it's busier and with more people). The inside and outside patio areas looked clean and taken care of, no complaints here! The vibe and look itself is pretty cool, would likely benefit from refreshing or adjusting some of the furniture to bring it more together. Will be back I'm sure, as most post-work vendor events find their way here or to one of the other hops in Market Square.
