    Wine Tasting Bar... lots of good wine!
    Bill R.

    WHISKY AND WINE ... FOOD UNIQUE AND FINE BACKSTORY My friend Mike received a tip on some whisky bars and wine bars in Grants Pass. Specifically a whiskey and wine bar combination with great food. He wanted to treat me to some good food in GP during my visit. So, I am game to try anything new and different ... I'm glad we did! FIRST IMPRESSIONS Upon pulling up, I noticed the parking lot was full! A good sign in my estimation!!!! He has a big truck and fortunately somebody was pulling out and he took the last spot. When I walked in, it looked relaxed. No one greeted me at the door so I walked through to look for a place where we might enjoy our evening. We settled on a tall bar table in the back porch. Heaters were on... It was comfortable! SERVICE We were greeted by a kind and fun waitress. She handed us our menus and came back promptly to take our drink orders. I'm a big water guy and throughout the entire evening she made sure my water was filled. Service was excellent! Between our waitress and the owner periodically checking in on us, we had a good time! ATMOSPHERE The atmosphere is relaxed. Tables are spaced out. There is garden style seating, restaurant cafe tables, and plenty of space to move around. They have a cornhole tournament area and fire tables. There seems to be music periodically because there was a stage set up in the back. Simple & relaxed, nice atmosphere ... like a combo of my backyard with a bunch of friends laughing while being served by excellent caterers... Easy place to relax! FOOD ... EATS We were not too hungry so we ordered flatbread and potato chip nachos. Excellent bar food with a gourmet twist. Food was flavorful and served hot! Check out my photos of the potato chip nachos with perfectly cooked moist carnitas and drizzled in a special aïoli sauce. Delishhhhh! BOTTOMLINE if you're looking for a nice whiskey bar with good food or you're looking for a wine bar with some excellent tapas in Grants Pass, Oregon... I recommend you check the Toasted Barrel out! By the way... The owner retired from the crazy corporate world. She fell in love with this old 1930's barn and turned this community gem of a building into a delightful place to sample whisky and taste wine all the while enjoying your friends! Check out the history wall and ask her about her plans!!!! So cool! You won't be disappointed.

    Drinks!

    What a cool place! Friendly neighborhood vibe. The parking lot gets a little full but what a great problem for a small business to have. The food was great, we tried a fish sandwich, chicken sandwich and Caesar salad and drinks haha lots of different drinks. Their menu is generous with lots of drink options and nice variety of sandwiches, salads and other things. It took a little while to get someone to come over to the table but honestly it didn't really matter, the rest of the experience was great.

    The Service is always friendly

    The Owner Tish is a wonderful Lady she always greets us with smiles also all staff are great definitely the cook Justin is fabulous everything food wise is tasty , I and everyone I know Love this place and the atmosphere is too very comfy

    The toasted barrel is a cute bar to hang out at. It can get crowded on the weekends but if you're into a crowd, music, and outdoor space that generally has live music, it will be the place for you. If you wish to beat the crowd early afternoon is my go to. Drinks are good and food is ok.

    The best new place in Grants pass! The remodel and new vision for the bar that has been around since the 30's is so well done. Food and drink were delicious amd the staff was friendly and welcoming.

    Toasted Barrel is by far my favorite place to be with friends, Great service, environment,menu and drinks! Brie and Tish are the absolute best definitely will be coming back

    The Toasted Barrel is fantastic. It offers a superb selection of wines and whiskeys, incredible food, attentive staff, and a warm, welcoming atmosphere. I will definitely be returning.

She was an exceptional waitress-- attentive, cheerful, and genuinely welcoming from the moment we sat down. She was incredibly knowledgeable about both the menu and the wine selection, and her recommendations were spot on. She struck the perfect balance of being available whenever we needed something while also allowing us to enjoy our special evening together. The food was outstanding, but service like Ronan's is what truly elevates a dining experience. She's the kind of server who makes a restaurant feel refined and high-end. We'd absolutely come back not only for the amazing food, but because of hospitality like hers. Thank you, Ronan, for helping make our anniversary so special!

We had been to Twisted Cork a couple times earlier while visiting Grants Pass, and Twisted Cork was still a standout in terms of Yelp reviews. This time, the name Roan came up more than once as an outstanding server. And to our happy surprise, we were seated in Roan's area. What a sparkly personality and delightful person she is. Our whole experience was 10/10. The amazing food, ambiance, and service were all perfection! Thanks Roan, and all the Twisted Cork staff, for a delightful evening!

Service was excellent from the manager to Carson stopping by to ask us if we enjoyed our dinner and to Jolie, the pastry chef/owner telling us about the desserts. We chose the pear frangipane tart which had pears from her father's pear tree. Sooooo good. Started with a lovely Caesar salad with a homemade dressing. Loved the bread that came with the salad and dinner. Very light with a hint of garlic. I also enjoyed the slow roasted brisket, garlic mashed potatoes and Brussels sprouts. My husband had the stuffed chicken. Both were moist and flavorful. We will come back!

We had the two specials: my wife had the rib eye steak and I had the cioppino. The steak was served with a blue cheese butter, asparagus and mashed potatoes. The steak was so tender you could cut it with a fork. Truly delicious. I like to think of myself as a cioppino snob as it is one of my favorite meals and I've had it at restaurants all over the world. I must say Carson's recipe is superb. His broth has subtle flavors of tarragon and fennel. He adds sole, blue crab and shrimp for the protein. It's truly outstanding and one the best I've had. Jolie is not only the hostess, but also the waitress and pastry chef. She's charming and really fun to talk to. She let us sample some of the full-bodied red wines as well as a nice Petite Syrah. She also enticed us to try her peanut butter shortbread dessert. It melted in your mouth. The restaurant decor is charming and cozy. It makes for a very intimate setting and Jolie and Carson makes it feel like your having dinner with good friends. Still the best restaurant in Grants Pass. Apparently, Carson makes Osso Buco, which is another one of my favorites. I will be sure to come back to try it.
