We had Brussel sprouts, bruschetta and the fig pizza and everything was AMAZING. All the flavor combinations were spot on and everything cooked perfectly. The cocktails were well crafted and the service was great. Loved the low lighting inside also. We were really impressed, definitely will be coming back. read more

Tried J Squared for the first time and I was pleasantly surprised. Definitely worth a visit. The atmosphere is warm cozy casual. The staff were very attentive and friendly. Food came out fast, hot and fresh. Lots of options for drinks. There was a list of about 15 beers on tap, fun cocktails, nice wine list and a full bar. Space is limited, and you may have to share the long table with others, but it still feels comfortable. Looking forward to visiting again. read more

Went for happy hour with a friend. The bartender was friendly and the place was clean. The wedged salad was really good. The bartender made a mocktail from the cocktail menu, it was delicious. The bartender observed my friend and I were there to visit and gave us plenty of time before bringing the check after our meal. I really appreciated that level of professionalism. Definitely recommend this place! read more

Tried to stop in here tonight (7/9) at about 6:15 - it was busy with one table open (bussed but not wiped down). It was busy(!!!), but most tables had their food or drinks (and were waiting for food) and it's a small place so.. yeah, I thought we read the situation - popular place! Cool! We went ahead and sat but no one came, about 5-10 minutes in my husband went to the bar and got a menu and a bartender or server assured him they would be over. Another 10-15 mins go by, and some one brings out three pizzas (to the table next to us!) and then still turns without a word and walks away. At this point the table is still dirty and we haven't been given water or greeted or anything. We wait another couple minutes and then decide to cut our losses and leave. Would not recommend! The food looked good but who knows how much longer we would wait to order (or how much longer than that for food). Complete lack of service!! Just a greeting would've been nice. read more

Nice place. Very large tap menu with all sorts of choices. Menu is fine with everything from pizza to Mac and cheese. Very clean, friendly staff. Seating is moderate. They have a few private tables a long table down the center with several seats that is kind of a shared seating area. People seem to spread out a little so it's not as if you are sitting next to a stranger. We had Pizza and a salad. To be completely honest I wasn't crazy about the pizza, I will say I've had friends try it before and they loved it. It was a little to thick on the doughy side for me but that's just a personal preference. Toppings seemed to hug the center with about a inch and 1/2 of plain dry crust. I personally wouldn't buy it again. One of those items you just need to try for yourself. I would return again. my wife got the Chicken Cesar Salad and her review was "It's ok". Apparently on nights of events at the theater they open up an overflow area. read more

Amazing cocktails. Great beer selection. The lighting creates a nice atmosphere. The servers are friendly and attentive. The food came out in a timely manner and everything is DELICIOUS. They have a rotating menu I believe which I appreciate because you can tell they use very fresh ingredients. Their pizza is awesome. The chicken pesto pasta was absolutely remarkable and the two starters we got, spicy roasted Brussels sprouts and the cast iron brie were really amazing. I would go here every day if I could. read more

I looked up the menu online before going. They had listed Mac&cheese and I was craving that. When I got there they said they no longer had it on the menu but didn'tencourage me to stay for anything else. I told the gal where i saw the info and asked for it to be updated. Otherwise the place was dark but looked and smelled clean enough. read more

the food , service and ambiance are great. you may have to wait awhile for your food but it's worth the wait . i highly recommend J Squared if u like to try local beers and ciders and great food . read more

My wife and I went here for dinner and noted a very dark environment. Not much too see, one could say a minimalist interior. Our waiter was very polite and took our orders pleasantly. When I got my small mixed drink unfortunately it tasted exactly like fabric softener. Honestly for the price I was hoping for something that had a more pleasant taste for such a small portion. Afterwards out best pretzels ever were served. The cheese dip did not have much flavor, more yellow water and the pretzels were hard and flavor wise were like generic frozen pretzels. Afterwards we got our pesto pizza that was actually pretty good, super thin crust. Overall, unfortunately, missed the mark. Will not be returning. read more

Unfriendly servers. Overpriced. I used to like this place but it's changed for the worse.

Always a pleasure! Great staff! Food is incredible you must try the sesame crusted tuna and the salads! Never been disappointed with the atmosphere or service! read more

J Squared Barrel House - a glass of whiskey - Wine Bars Near Me - Longview, Washington

I had the opportunity to attend the soft open with my hubby and I'm really looking forward to going back. This place has friendly staff, tasty food, a really cool vibe and a FANTASTIC beer & wine selection. The dill sauce on the pork belly slider was AMAZING and I really enjoyed the Dickel Bourbon Barrel Aged Imperial Brown. Next time I may have to try some wine and get the cheese plate especially if they still have those amazing gluten free rosemary crackers! read more

Where to start! Excellent service and AMAZING food and drinks. My friend and I got the seasonal pasta and mezcal old fashioned, and both were some of the best we've ever had. The atmosphere was understated and chic, and the wait staff were friendly and helpful. I'm Gonna be back! read more

Really nice staff, great bourbon selection, yummy pizza, cozy decor. Love this place.

First visit here will definitely be back. They have 16 taps plus a nice wine selection. Great atmosphere and ambiance. We tried the arty party 10 inch pizza added pepperoni. Think I will try the pork belly sliders next visit. They use a local sourdough from kalama Washington. read more

Wow. First time here and a Great experience! Fantastic food, wonderful wines, engaging staff... I will most certainly be back! read more

Can we talk about the famous Kalama cheesy bread!? Soooo much cheese. You almost need a pair of scissors to trim it while approaching your mouth. Great selection of beer and wine. Longview needed this! read more

J Squared Barrel House - Pork belly sliders with the best fries (actually baked potatoes) ever.. - Wine Bars Near Me - Longview, Washington

This is s cool little addition to the Cowlitz County food and beverage scene. Stopped by prior to attending the Odd Couple (female version) at Stageworks last night. Had pork belly sliders, bratwurst, beer and wine. Everything was very good, particularly the beer-dipped potatoes and dip and the plates were well presented. The only complaint would be is it took a while for our food to be served, but it was worth the wait. We will return to try appetizers and desserts. read more

J Squared Barrel House - Cozy, relaxing downtown environment. - Wine Bars Near Me - Longview, Washington

One of the best places to eat and drink in town. Their wine classes are fun! The food is delicious! They have a fantastic rotating selection of beer and wine. In summer they have Rosé flights. The owners are extremely nice, knowledgeable, and want to be part of reviving Longview. I highly recommend checking out this gem in downtown. read more

Love JSBH. Great atmosphere, service, food & drinks. Love their cauliflower pizza crusts. Good salads.

My favorite local for great beer, wine and dinner. There aren't many places in Longview to find a diverse selection of wines and beers. We love hazy IPA's and J Squared has a lovely one currently. Sour's from Great Notion are such a treat and require waiting in line on release day. We are so thankful to have this business in our town. read more

The server was very helpful. She suggested a few wines based on what I described usually liking and let me sample to find which one I liked best. The Brie cheese was amazing with a cherry compote on top! The pretzels were also very good. read more

Love this place. Very good wine- love the charcuterie and cheese board. Excellent service and friendly staff!

I go here often and have been since they opened; it's a regular, local hang out spot. They have a great selection of approx. 15/16 beers on tap, as well as 14 ish wines. Great mix and chill vibes. And their food selection is more than decent for a barrel house, to boot. Their wood-fire pizza (made with local Kalama sourdough) is to die for, and their mac and cheese is also a fave! It's nice to have a place in town where 21 year olds don't hang around much too haha. read more

Great selection, and they are always awesome about letting you try something before you commit. Fun and delicious appetizer selection. I have never had anything I don't like and enjoy that it isn't the same old selection. They definitely have flavors for all different taste buds read more

Stopped by for a drink and some food before a movie and was throughly impressed!!!! Amazing happy hour! We had the Brie and it was incredible!!! The dinner menu looked great as well, we just ran out of time! Will definitely go back! read more

Just what Longview needed! Love the atmosphere, best customer service in town(very knowledgeable and friendly). Good selection of beer and wine, always bringing in new things to try. Appetizers are amazing. PS-Happy Hour starts at 3pm:) read more

When I first cogitated this review, I though of playfully complaining about the lack of square barrels on the premises. However, what J&J have created here is too impressive for throwaway wit. I do not hand out 5 stars lightly but this place is different. The service staff are fantastic - what they may sometimes lack in quantity during peek hours is thoroughly absolved by quality. The beer & wine selections show an insight into the human palate (and arcane distribution systems) that few others can rival anywhere; not just in this local. The small but mighty menu demonstrates how much can be done with a limited kitchen and unconstrained imagination. However, what really holds this team together though is the leadership. Thanks to Jack, who effortlessly exudes decorum and customer service excellence, the J-Squared Barrel house is a luxurious force to contend with. His vast knowledge of the industry is palpable in everything, but no more so than in how the fabulous facets decribed above smoothly meld together. Stop by and give this place a try. You deserve it. And say 'hi' to Jack for me! read more

Found out soup is prepackaged and not made in house from scratch. Tap list could be better. Not to excited about this place. Probably won't go back to many other tap houses around to experience. read more

The best food in Longview! What a treat. Beer and wine selection can't be beat and the service was top notch. We will definitely be back!

Went to try a Tannat wine. I loved the selection they chose from Uraquay. My husband found 3 amazing beers from the extensive beer list. The food was unsurpassed in flavor and freshness. Definitely going back, is tomorrow too soon.... read more
