I would like to write another review for a complete sit down experience. Honestly, I've delivered food for a job and I have yet to have a proper sit down here. Cocktails look good, the staff seems friendly and it's certainly worth getting over here one of these nights when I'm not busy with my wife. My five star review is for takeout only, one word pierogies I tried both kinds. They were delicious. Thank you for making pierogies. They made me happy. I added mustard instead of the sour cream that came with. I got enough to share with my wife. They didn't even make it back to the interstate.. I will have to come back. Did I say thank you for making pierogies enough times? I will write another review when I inevitably come back here and sit down to enjoy some food in person. At least recommend coming here for the pierogies read more

The staff at the Barrelhouse is great. From the time we arrived until a few hours later when we left, our party was treated wonderfully. Big kudos to the two young ladies running the front of the house! The Barrelhouse has a decent menu with some bar food standards and some surprised. We ordered the fried deviled eggs (definitely recommend) and the cheddar and onion perogies (also recommend). The garlic parmesan wings were crispy and flavorful. The fries and sandwiches were ok. We would visit again to try more appetizers and because the staff is so great! read more

We were very impressed with The Barrelhouse. Upon arriving it looked like a "locals only" spot, which I love. We opted to dine here due to its late kitchen hours. I am glad we gave it a try! I ordered up one of the many tap options- The Raspberry Creamsicle. It was smooth & a bit dry, my favorite! He chose the sweet pear cider. He loved it. I chose the fried deviled eggs as an appetizer- they were so crunchy & delicious, served atop a bed of deviled egg filling. I chose the cherry bbq wings & some hand cut fries for my entree. It was the perfect compliment to my drink & appetizer. The menu is simple, I would love to come back here again and try some other goodies on the menu! read more

Fantastic find on our first day in the area, feels like a local secret! Daughter loved the wings so much we made it back the second night for another round. Fantastic service/staff read more

Good late night spot. Easy, no drama. Staff is great. Food is consistent. Crowds are mixtures of all kinds of good people.

New owners need to shut this Yelp option down. It's misleading. Add your own Saffron site. It used to be a good late night local place to get great burgers, wings, beer and other bar food but I won't be back to eat Indian food. Terrible concept for this locals location. read more

First time here and this place is great! we had asked if the lentil soup was available and sadly they had ran out, but right away they had offered to make up a new batch just for us. They were so polite and warm welcoming definitely coming back to this spot. You can tell this is a family run business which makes me feel great spending my money here. I highly recommend stopping by this hidden gem for a nice meal. I wish there were more places this one in my area. read more

Food is always delicious. I'm sad they don't have lemon pepper or fancy sauce anymore but at least the deviled eggs are still as amazing as always best chicken sandwiches ever read more

Great spot open late and good food not much more you can ask for, yummy drinks too! A little dark but nice place

One of our favorite Asheville finds during our holiday vacation ! This was highly recommended by a local and we understood why. It's a perfect combination of a fun casual bar and incredible tasting food! We tried local beer, recommended by our waiter and it was great. The fried deviled eggs were top tier and their burger were amazing! I appreciate the moody atmosphere, and the music. I truly wish we had a place like this back home. They're open late, which was a plus since most local places near our air bnb closed pretty early. read more

Thank goodness for this place! The family and I spent Christmas out this way and, of course 99% of all the businesses are closed on Christmas Day (as they should be). We found Barrelhouse via an Asheville site listing it as one of the few restaurants open that day. This place is small but is comfortably laid out whether you chose table/booth service or bar seating. I found the lighting to be a bit dim, but it is a bar-ish restaurant. My Gen-Z girls said it had a good vibe, which I guess means cool in the Gen-X lexicon. Either way the place was clean and the decor was funky and fun. My wife ordered a patty melt and said she found it to be a bit dry. It was served on a big bun, which doesn't fit the norm of grilled rye bread I've seen on every other patty melt I've ever ordered. My eldest ordered the dirty bird sandwich and also said the meat was on the dry side. Both of them stated the sandwiches tasted fine otherwise. My youngest ordered the classic burger and thought it was good, but nothing special. I ordered the Ricky Bobby, which is a cheese steak sort of sandwich, and I really enjoyed it! Their fries are very good, so I suggest you ditch the Doritos and get them instead. Now for the most impressive part, the service. I cannot say what their norm is but they opened promptly at six pm. We saw only two people working, a man who stayed behind the bar, primarily, and a woman who went into overdrive the moment everyone sat down. There are five large tables in the middle of the room and an equal number of booths and she has them all! We were served water immediately and our refill flask was never empty long! It did take a bit of time to get our order in and out to our table, but considering it was a holiday and they were obviously running a skeleton crew, it was not unreasonable. In any case, the staff was very kind and worked super hard to get everyone served. If you are in Asheville, give them a try! I would have rated them at 5 stars had the two sandwiches not been dry, but again they were still tasty. They appeared to have a great craft beer selection, not surprising given the fact they are in Asheville. Unfortunately, due to COVID (is anyone else sick of that phrase too?), my senses of taste and smell are still screwed up so all beer tastes the same and I didn't try any. Maybe next time. Merry Christmas everyone and thank you again to the good folks at Barrelhouse for serving us on Christmas Day. read more

I come here pretty regularly as it is close by my home. Staff are always accommodating, kind, and fast with drinks and food orders. I came here with a friend yesterday and Brandon was amazing. He said it was just first day and he was wonderful. We only got fries to snack on but they were perfect and rinks were very tasty as well. Overall a wonderful place for late night hangouts. read more

The bartender was great a keeping drinks full and our belly's to the wings are great here definitely the best late night snack

We went here for late dinner last night. 1 I love that they serve late as we are late eaters and 2 this place is so cool. We found this place cause hubby wanter pierogi. This place is a cool little place with a variety of in-hse made food from pierogi, burgers, deep fried deviled eggs (what???) And other sandwiches. Everything was really good. We had wings, brussel sprouts and pierogi's and it was all excellent. The rogi you have a choice of sautéed or fried SO good The wings were meaty and well cooked. No pictures cause it was too dark. They also have all kinds of beers and unique drinks. read more

The Barrelhouse was a last minute decision when we got into town for a wedding. We didn't want to go into Asheville and this spot had some decent reviews so we decided to try. My hamburger was fine but nothing to write home about. I did really enjoy my fried deviled eggs! Can't say I've ever seen those on a menu before. Unfortunately, my husband didn't have a good (after) experience with his patty melt which is why they are getting a 3 star review. read more

**AVL needs more late night dives that serve food late - so SHOUT OUT to BARRELHOUSE for staying open late- I'm sure the nighttime service workers really appreciate you & so does the community.Thanks! OK, so...there is absolutely no decor - I mean nothing, so set your expectations low and you won't be disappointed. But the staff is friendly and kind, the beer is decent, and it's cheap. There are food and beer specials every night. The food is not wonderful, but there aren't many places that will make you a steak at 1:00 am! read more

We found this online and liked the sound of the menu so and we came out here to try it out on a quiet Saturday afternoon. We got the Joe Rogan, Brown Sugar Bacon BLT, Hand cut fries, special pierogi with sauerkraut then sautéed with caramelized onions, and ginger beer and jun grape fermented beverages They split the burger for us which was super nice! It was delicious. Moist, flavorful (you could taste the beef), and the bread was proportionate and perfect. Not super heavy at all. The fries were served with their special sauce and we very well done, not overly cooked well done but made very well. The pierogi was fantastic! A lot of fun to go eat pierogis somewhere since we never do. The BLT was great also. Perfectly toasted, sweet, Smokey and salty. The tomato was also beautiful and red, even in almost January. I love that they support local and have a ton of local beverages and brews to choose from. The bathrooms were clean as well as the establishment. The server, bartender all in one was great! Very sweet, fitting for the establishment and so helpful. She's a keeper for sure. She made it such a pleasant experience! We will definitely be back. I hope more people come this way to check it out! read more

Very low key burger joint on Merrimon north of Beaver Lake. It has a divey vibe. Service was friendly and both burgers were delicious. The burgers come with Doritos but you can sub them for fries. Plenty of parking on the lot. It's a great option if you are in the area. I will go back to try the brussels sprouts. read more

Disclaimer: this rating is based entirely on one takeout order that I picked up tonight. I spotted The Barrelhouse on Yelp while trying to figure out dinner. Decided I wanted the mushroom steak sandwich and called in my order. They were friendly and pointed out that sandwiches came with a bag of Doritos or I could upgrade to fries. I chose the upgrade (to be honest the sandwich would have been good with Doritos). The sandwich itself was as advertised on the menu and was really tasty. The fries were good solid thick cut pub fries, they complimented the sandwich nicely. The inside of the place has a divey feel in a good way with a decent list of microbrew offerings on a wall for those interested in partaking. Pickup was quick and easy. Overall, I was a very pleased and will definitely be back. read more

Wow! Awesome service, food, and prices! We had wings and fries and they were delicious. Honestly, these were some of the best wings I've ever had and the fries were up there as well. We'll definitely be going here again. read more

Wowsers! Can't judge a book by its cover nor can you judge Barrel House by first peek inside the door. Small seating area with a bar. The place was basically empty when we came in for a late lunch but I imagine it can get loud and packed pretty quickly late nights. Service: Incredible. Our server was top notch. She brought us water in a cool Bourbon bottle and brought our beer right away. No lack of service or smiles here. Food: I am stuffed. Rarely do I rave about my lunch. This day was an exception. We both had the special, a grilled chicken and bacon sandwich with shredded lettuce and tomato topped with a Dijon and ranch mix with a side of fries. It was *amazing* and I mean I ate all of it. No lady like lingering here. Menu: Shorter on choices than I prefer but we ordered the special so really who cares. Burgers, apps, fries and Doritos. Yes, Doritos are a side for the burgers and a base for nachos. Beer selection: Good enough for me. Not a huge list but features the favorite beer and cider choices. Would I go back? Yes. Yes I would. Should you go? Yes. But don't all go at once, the place is wee little and I want a place to sit when I come in. read more

Hmmm...so this a small bar with a kitchen. Like one step above a whole in the wall type spot. I was definitely shocked when I pulled in and even more shocked when I walked in. No one had on a mask except me. I don't think there was even a sign regarding mask and I visited the week NC mandate required mask to be worn in restaurants. Anyways, thankfully I had a pick up order. I ordered Brussels sprouts, fried devil eggs, and my friends ordered naked wings over a bed of fries. When the menu says over a bed of fries that's what they mean, the wings were on top of 5 fries max. The fries were different. Like they were edible but were not good. How do you mess up on fries??? The Brussels sprouts were really good and had the perfect crunch and flavor! I was shocked because you wouldn't think a place like this would even serve Brussels sprouts. As for the wings and deviled eggs... i honestly don't know how they were because I ended up not trying either but if I'm ever back in Asheville that would be a spot I would only go to if there was nothing else to eat. The kitchen is open until 2am. read more

BLUF: amazing food and service; not totally sure if it's good for kids. We were in town for the weekend and originally had plans to eat somewhere else that I picked out. My husband took it upon himself to scrap the plans I made because he "didn't want to park downtown". When we pulled up to this place I was PISSED and was prepping myself for a big ole fight with my dear husband because this place looks like a straight up bar that happens to have a kitchen and we had a 1 year old and 6 year old with us. I'm still pissed at him, but the food and service was so amazing that I feel like I don't have as big of a bone to pick. I had the chicken club, and holy moly it was yummy. The atmosphere was super cool, it would be the perfect place for dinner and drinks if you're kid free....or if your kids are older...or if you come earlier. Barrel House, you saved my husband a butt chewing. read more

One word describes this place... odd! I tried this place based on a Groupon, the burger I ordered was good. It was a perfectly cooked burger, juicy and flavorful. The odd thing about the food was, it came with Doritos. Not even a lot of Doritos. Next time leave the Doritos off the plate or give an ample amount. The interior was bizarre. The owner could not decide on a decor or they ran out of money and threw items on a wall. Also the odd 1970 music box in the corner was just out of place. Good food but just messed up interior. read more

The Barrelhouse - Donut burger with small amount of Doritos - Pubs Near Me - Asheville, North Carolina

Great atmosphere, friendly staff, and bar menu complete with unique specialty perogies made in house daily! We stopped in after a YELP search for late night food in North Asheville/Woodfin. It was Wednesday around 9:30pm and were greeted immediately and within 2 minutes of selecting our window booth we had menus and drink orders placed. Ordered shepards pie stuffed button mushroom special, fried brussel sprouts, nachos, carolina gold & buffalo wings. I would order everything again except the nachos that had that scary yellow proceeded cheese sauce they serve at every youth ballpark concession stand. They feature local drafts and interesting craft cocktails. The space is cozy and ideal for watching sports in a fun but very laid back environment. I plan to try a burger on my next visit and will be sure to provide an update. read more

Just 10 minutes from downtown Asheville (and even closer to my house) the Barrelhouse offers us great food, a free bar scene and some of our best local live music every Friday, Saturday and Sunday! I'm so happy they opened recently! It's where the Potato Wedge used to be- and although the menu is much more creative and varied- they're still serving Pierogies! Yes that's a glazed donut burger and a maple bacon burger and an amazing Bacon, cheddar, caramelized onion and jalapeño Pierogie! read more

The Barrelhouse is a rather new establishment up "north" on Merrimon Ave. I had read an article about all the new restaurants popping up this year and Barrelhouse was on the list. I happened to pick up a Groupon (one of the only restaurants ones in Avl offering a Groupon at the time) which allowed me to get $20 worth of food. We ended up getting an ice tea (amazing), pierogies (amazing), brussel sprouts (great) and a Brown Sugar BLT w/ fries (also fantastic). Please please don't judge the Barrelhouse from it's location/decor. The food is excellent, the waitstaff was fun (Quiet!) and I will totally be back for more pierogies! read more
