I understand, the owner thinks we're all ghetto & since it's next to a Metro Train station, then all the monsters will be here. Well I live 1 mile approx southeast from here & I've waited to frequent but due to the gate, I'll pass. The ONE & ONLY time I entertained this foolishness, I stood at the gate like a sad puppy & staff asked what I wanted. Ummm , I'm not that alcoholic that buys the same liquor all the time. Can I peruse the hard seltzers or malt liquors? What if I wanted a half pint? God forbid I thought of chips or a soda. Jeez Way to treat your peeps. So w/ that being said, they wanna serve ONLY the winos who know exactly what they can buy w/ their assortment of currency. Effff this joint & I'd rather enter detox than satisfy my alcohol desires here

Haphazardly came across this place, walked in for a quick breakfast/ brunch meal on Sunday…read more Although they had a buffet set up, we opted for alacart. Torta Gigante de asada is as the name states, giant! I got thru half of it and it was delicious! The slices of pickled jalapeños added a nice bite and the wonderful waitress brought me more jalapeños. Taco de pescado, breaded fish with a wonderful spicy mayo sauce on top Tostada mixta- by far one of the best mariscos I've had in quiet some time. The octopus was AMAZING!! not chewy at all and the combination of the other seafood: shrimp and fish was well balanced. I could have added tapatio but by the time that came to mind I had devoured the 3 tostadas it came with. Huevos con tocino (bacon and over medium eggs) just thinking about it makes my mouth water. The eggs were cooked to perfection. Served with rice and beans. We unfortunately missed the 1pm drag show, however we left with a positive impression and looking forward to going back. Ambiance is casual and the patio area looks like a great place to have a drink on a summer night. Looking forward to having a real drink next time around

On Sunday we called ahead to double check what time drag buffet started. They said 3. When we got…read morethere, I asked for sangria and they gave me a bottled sangria soda. We then waited ONE HOUR for the brunch buffet to be served. Imagine our disappointment when the buffet was just a salad bar, two types of flautas, and rice. I even had to place the spoons and tongs into the containers. No one acknowledged that they served a full hour late, and we weren't offered anything for free or discounted. I give two stars for them supporting drag queens. I tipped the Queen but would have preferred my buffet fees go to her.

Never coming here again…read more I went last night to catch up with a friend I hadn't seen in years and stepped outside for a moment to get some air because it was getting stuffy inside. The girl security was chill, the heftier guy must've not liked me or something because he was not trying to join the small talk I was making with the other security. I tell her I need to go inside and get my friend because we were leaving and the male security tells me there's "No Ins and Outs". I was literally going to go inside and get my friend and go. He doesn't let me. So then I spam my friend to let her know they're not letting me back inside. When she comes out I tell her my shoes are hurting and I take my heels off because we had to walk. He then accuses me of being messy drunk for being taking my heels off. Learn to read the room sir. We step away from the front and literally walk a few businesses over AWAY from the bar. This is how I know the security was looking for a problem. I tell my friend we don't have to worry about anyone messing with us on our walk because I have a tazer. I show it to her and press the button to let her know it works. The security guard leaves his post and walks towards us and tells me "now you have to leave because you're doing that" I was already leaving and he had no reason to walk towards me on the side walk he should have stayed at the front door. I wasn't even talking to him anymore. We were literally 2-3 businesses away. So I turned the tazer on and told him to leave, he approached us. There was no reason for him to walk up to us we already left. This man was looking for trouble. He needs to be fired. I was scared I was gonna have to use it if he got physical. Management should really look into that security guard because it makes me wonder how many patrons he actually messes with when he's on a machismo power trip. I am never coming back to this establishment again. You guys don't even deserve a star. How dare you allow your security to harass someone trying to leave. This man does not know how to diffuse situations properly. He needs to be fired. And then witnessing him trying to rewrite reality was truly disgusting. I'm so genuinely curious if he has history of getting physical with patrons. If he does, I'm certain he's not as innocent as he performs.

There are two bars - cider bar and beer bar. They are separated by the patio area and both have different vibes, which is really cool. The music was nice when I was there. There are also screens with sports playing, which is a big bonus. The calendar on their website also shows all the events and even the food vendors, which is convenient. I had the pilsner and it was delicious. Haven't tried the ciders yet but definitely looks good, and it's something you don't see often. There is a small parking lot but also street parking in the area if anything.

We were informed by security at the front that our 2-year-old could come in but only if he was held the entire time, and if he was caught walking around we would be asked to leave. They're very dog friendly, but beware if your dog isn't a fan of cats or if you're allergic as they do have cats that freely roam the premises. The beer was fine. If you're a fan of lighter beers I would recommend Homage Brewing, Arrow Lodge, or Angel City (soon to close), all of which are in the area and are very kid and dog friendly. Additionally there is extremely limited parking available in the area, so be prepared to pay $20 for valet.

I was in the area yesterday to visit one of the neighboring venues and after my visit I was very…read morehungry. Barbara's at the Brewery is definitely the highlight of the street because the sign is so large and parking is centered all around it but I still got confused on where the entrance was. I thought the entrance is where the large sign you see from the street is, but actually you have to walk past that sign and past the gate and all the way straight to the yellow building up ahead and that's when you run straight into Barbara's. There are two entrances but I didn't realize I was closer to the main one and somehow I walked all the way to the left and around up some stairs to go in from what I guess must be the back door. Next time once you are at the yellow building go around the right and the door is almost immediately to your left. Once inside I liked the vibe. There are two rooms, one is the bar area room and one is the room where people can just take their food or drinks and just hang out and eat. I went to the bar and the bartender was super friendly and he let me taste test the beer before ordering. I got the Poppiness beer which was very delicious and refreshing, ice cold. I sipped it slowly and it stayed cold throughout my whole meal. To eat I ordered the fried chicken sandwich with fries. I don't often eat fried food because my belly will hurt, but it was one of the few chicken items on the menu and I went for it. Good thing I did! The sandwich was absolutely delicious. The outside is perfectly crunchy that every time you bite in there is this satisfying crunch noise, and the inside chicken is a good thick portion of chicken and it is so moist and flavorful. I gobbled that sandwich down and wished I could get a second to go haha! The best thing though is that my belly did not hurt after eating this sandwich, I'm thinking the ingredients must be really clean. I definitely loved the food, the drinks, and the vibe of the place, and would 100% stop by again if I'm in the area!
