We come to Barrel Yard after a tour of American Family Field and it, much like the tour, did not disappoint! We ordered the sample and a summer shandy. Both were absolutely fantastic. The service was great and what can you possibly pair with great food and great beer...well how about a great view of an awesome ballpark?!

Went for a brewer game and decided we wanted better than the average stadium food. We weren't disappointed. We probably paid the same as we would have at the stadium food counters but was much better. I had the Big Tex burger with bacon, cheese and avocado with a side of loaded potato salad; both were delicious. My wife enjoyed her grilled caprisi chicken sandwich. Nice selections of beer and mixed drinks. Nice regular IPA. Didn't appreciate the tropical ipa though. Friendly service and relaxing atmosphere prior to game.

We stopped in before the Brewers game started and was pleasantly surprised. There was a wait to be seated, but we were fortunate to find two seats at the bar. Service was excellent. There were 3 bartenders and each one was very attentive and they worked so well together to ensure each customer was taken care of. They had a variety of beers on tap, lagers, IPAs and shandies. My husband tried the summer shandy and the Raspberry Wheat- it is only available here. He enjoyed both. They serve drinks in aluminum cups , which retains the coldness. They offered water in the cool aluminum cups for us to take to go, which I appreciated. They have an extensive menu and many food options, but we only ordered cheese curds. They were beer battered and lightly fried. This was a pleasant surprise and was not your typical ballpark food or service.

If you're headed to a Brewers game, make sure you stop by Barrel Yard--it's totally worth it. I grabbed a beer there during the game and was super impressed. The staff was really friendly and even let us try a couple samples so we could figure out which one we liked best. You don't always get that kind of service at a ballpark. And the beer? It came in these cool aluminum cups that actually kept it cold the whole time, which was awesome. No warm, flat sips halfway through. For the quality, the experience, and the vibe, I'd say the price was totally fair. Definitely adding this to my game day routine.

Had a great time stopping by Barrel Yard (located in the Brewer's Stadium). I love the option to sit outside to have a full field view, there is also plenty of indoor/bar seating as well. Our server was very kind and attentive which I appreciated. I tried the mac n cheese with pulled pork and it was really delicious! It was a big portion size- definitely worth it. I also liked how flavorful and non-greasy it was. My boyfriend also really enjoyed his smash burger. Definitely recommend stopping by, especially during Brewers games!

Nice establishment inside the Milwaukee Brewers ballfield. Mostly serves sports bar food. All the food that was ordered was outstanding. Staff is well engaged with the customers during the cups are full, and all manners are attended to.

Flight option.

Was at the season opener had a chance to talk to the brewmaster and she was so nice to talk to. Her cranberry ginger shandy was so good I went back the next day to buy the 32oz cans you can only buy on non game days. It's a must try before it's gone..

Went to attend an OnMilwaukee Squad event and stayed longer to grab more than just a quick bite but actually a full dinner. The brat flight was too interesting to pass up! Honestly perfect to split this flight features three unique flavored brats! The tailgate was the favorite followed by the Eastern! Loved the view of the ballpark!

Euchre burger

Had a nice first visit here. They have plenty of free parking in the off season. The place was fairly open and really stretched pretty far back so even more room to accommodate large groups. We were seated quickly and asked for our drink order right away. On Saturday, they had $1 wings and $5 pints. Pretty great deal considering the prices on their menu. Our server was friendly and attentive. We ordered the burger and chicken littles and both were good sized portions. The biscuits for the chicken littles were pretty hard though and tough to eat. Heard the burger was pretty good. Would definitely go back and enjoy an afternoon with a good view and play some board games they have available.

Beer

What a neat place!!! We were visiting from out of town and during our planning we saw you could come here, even on non game days. We arrived, and the place was pretty busy. With not many seat options, we sat at the bar with no issues as we typically love to sit at the bar anyway. We were quickly greeted by Andrew, who just as quickly grabbed us our beer. While sitting, we noticed there was a door leading to the field area. We asked Andrew if it would be possible to go get a picture of us with the field. He said absolutely and led the way, and he took a couple of pictures for us. We were not super hungry, so we only ordered a small snack. Since we were in Wisconsin, we had to order some curds. They were brought out and looked amazing. Perfectly breaded and fried just right. They were equally as tasty. While enjoying a couple more beers, we noticed they were setting up for an event. At one point, we were even asked to move down a row to accommodate the speakers of the event. Of course, we did so, but slightly annoyed. Why let us sit there in the first place?!?! Eventually, the event started. It was an event for I believe annual ticket holders for the baseball team that featured the three head brewers for Leinenkugel 's. And they were having a beer release party. So a pretty cool event...if you are actually being able to participate in the event. We sat at the bar and drank our beers and enjoyed the company of Andrew and Sarah. It was slightly annoying, though, as the event was rather loud. We think they should have either closed the place just for the event or at least had a sign up at the host/hostess stand. At the end of the day, it didn't ruin our time here, just a little annoying. We had a great time and really enjoyed Andrew and his beer knowledge, and we for sure would come back. We enjoyed their nice beer selection and bartenders. It is worth noting that the prices are very reasonable and parking is free, on non games days. We did ask, and on game days, the prices are significantly higher, and of course, admission would be required, as well as parking. Be sure to check place out.

I've been to barrel yard a few times, this time for a friends birthday. We booked the tinsel room and the room itself is super cute! The decor was great and the private room aspect was nice, it was great that the package included a drink per person. I had the holiday spritz, which was pretty good! The one issue was the service was fairly slow...you only get 90 minutes in the room, so the slow service really affected the experience. We moved outside and ordered some food - the food was alright, but they didn't cook the jalapeño dip that was ordered. They did offer to throw it back into the oven, but it never should've been served that way and a new one should've been offered. Overall the space was cute, and my experiences at barrel yard previously have been pretty good! It's definitely a good place to hangout on game day.

2 piece fried chicken dinner (all around not good).

I had such high hopes for Barrel Yard and was looking forward to dining here with some out of town guests, but was pretty let down. The positives: The interior is a nice change from what it used to be and love the fish mural. Our server, I believe her name was Fayth was great. The pretzels were some of the best we have had and loved the mustard and cheese that came with it. Now to the not so positives: The cheese curds were super greasy We were the only table there and it took a really long time to get our food. The fried chicken was probably the worst I've had: the breading was super heavy, the skin underneath the breading was not crispy at all and the chicken was tough and tasted strange. The "biscuit" that accompanied it should not be called a biscuit; it was more like a roll; definitely not what I think a biscuit should be. The roast beef on the roast beef sandwich was super bland. Sadly, I don't think we will be back.

The million dollar view. In my opinion this is one of the best seats in house! You can see the entire field obstruction free. The chairs are really crammed in around the tables, but you still have more room then you would elsewhere in the stadium. We have sat in these seats a number of times prior to the re-branding at the end of last season and had never been disappointed in a thing. This experience was different. Our service was terrible! We had to flag down our server every single time we needed to order something and he, Vince, did not once check on us. When we sat down we waited 20 minutes before he first came to the table and that was the last time he came to the table on his own. Now the food, the pretzel is usually an obvious choice - good, filling, and hard to mess up. Well it was cold, not once, but TWICE! In the end it was removed from our bill. The churro donuts however, were amazing. We ended up ordering it again because everyone wanted more! The mile high cake was also very good and WOW look how big that slice is - giant! We had to take some home with us.

Well on our last night we decided to give it a go again. My coworker ordered food ahead of me as I went to the beer bar. He said the gal that took his order was extremely rude, I shrugged it off. Went ahead to the food counter and I got a different gal. Not even 10 minutes later my coworker and his wife had their food. Me and my girl patiently sat waiting, ordered the sausage flight. About 20 minutes later I finally walked up to the food counter and happened to ask the "rude" employee about my food. Now I saw what my coworker was talking about. Few minutes later she came out and said there was already an order for this table... ya because there is 2 different parties. Finally she brought our food out which was wrong.... And was absolutely the rudest food service person I've ever seen. Talked with a manager which I never do this and he at least comped the food. Long story short, you're in the food service industry, be nice to people. We came to have a good time and she pretty much ruined it. Besides her rudeness everything was awesome and if I'm ever back in Milwaukee I will go back

I was completely sold when I found out they had a vegan version of the fish fry. It worked perfectly for our Thursday to Saturday trip to MKE. I reserved a table for 6pm. We were seated at a high top with a little "reserved" card so we felt important. Our server was so nice and friendly. She came over before we were even ready to order. It didn't take long for us to figure it out because there were a few obvious choices: CHEESE CURDS and what we came for, the fucking fish fry. I ordered the plant based one, GF the walleye. I was going to get one of their beers but the root beer old fashioned caught my attention immediately. Old fashioneds are typically too adult-tasting for me but I thought I might be able to handle it. It was. DELICIOUS. What a great twist on an old fashioned. There must have been a hole in the bottom of my glass because that shit was gone before I knew it. The cheese curds were, hands down, the best cheese curds I have ever had in my life and possibly one of the best things I have ever consumed period. Holy shit. Would it be inappropriate to have 2 orders? The plant based fish fry was also impressive considering that it wasn't fish. I loved it and I loved being able to participate in something like that. GF's fish fry was "really good". There was also a polka band which was fucking adorable. Supposedly they have done it every Friday for 25 years and that is just too precious. It seems like a must do while in Milwaukee.

It was a little industrial with a lot of seating, so this is a good spot to balance getting those fun going-out vibes with actually securing a seat. There seemed to be something for everyone on the menu, and they had a lot of collabs with other businesses. We opted for two different IPAs that were both delicious. For food, we split the cheese curds, hummus, and BBQ pork Mac and cheese. The cheese curds were extra crispy and I loved the garlic Parmesan seasoning. The chive crema served alongside was herby, creamy, and unique, giving a refreshing contrast. I enjoyed the selection of veggies with the hummus and the grilled garlic naan was delicious, though the hummus itself did taste just like the Sabra red pepper kind that you could buy in a store. However, the Mac and cheese absolutely stole the show- it was decadently cheesy with a wonderful white cheddar sauce, and the pork itself was slightly sweet and super tender. The scallions and jalapeños completed the picture perfectly. Would definitely recommend ordering this. The bartender taking our orders was also super nice and even brought a complimentary pour due to the wait for the second round, which we'd not mentioned at all. Overall, we had a great experience and would absolutely return next time we're in the area!
