Bears and Barrels isn't all about the beers, it's amazing beers and food. You can really pick what you want, from lobster to chicken to steak. Within the steak you have a big variety of choices, you could say it's a 'steakhouse'.
I've been here twice now, there was probably a year apart each visit. But at thing that happened twice was that when you're late-ish (8-9PM) some steak has run out. A shame really, when you're looking to eat a T-Bone or your beloved entrecôte there might be a chance there's no more left.
But when you pick a dish you'll know it's amazing, it's really what you could expect from this kind of restaurant, especially in this price range. Chips are great as well.
The location of the restaurant is lovely. It's situated in a brewery, hence the name. It's a big location with 3 floors. There is a DJ who plays old vinyl records. You could approach to ask him to play your favorite AC/DC ;).
Staff is nice and hardworking, your foods gets there in time.
When you're visiting I'd advice you to take the nacho play is starter, it's really nice and you'll get a sense of what happens in the kitchen, it's rather amazing really.
I'd give 5 stars but since the steak tends to run out I'm giving 4.
Tl;dr
Nice location, be there in time or your favorite steak might have run out. Variety of beers. Not a must-visit but definitely worth it. There is a lot noise from others, guess that's the Dutch way. Gotta speak up. ;) read more
