Barrel 33

Barrel 33 in Big Bear is an absolute gem! From the moment you step inside, you're greeted by a cozy, welcoming atmosphere perfect for enjoying a glass of wine (or a flight.... Or two bottles...) The wine selection is fantastic, with options that showcase regional vendors. Their food menu is equally impressive featuring ingredients that perfectly complement the drinks. We ordered three beer flights and split between two people (two are pictured and then we wanted a third). We chose a few and let our server surprise us for the rest.. we loved everything we drank. We also split a pear and Brie sandwich which came with side options (we chose sweet potato waffle fries).The staff is incredibly friendly and attentive. If you're in Big Bear, this spot is a must-visit! Highly recommended for anyone looking to relax, enjoy amazing food and drink, and chat with locals.It's family owned!

Go here and meet Dan. She might just change your life!Meanwhile, food and drink were plentiful and yummy.Have fun!!!

Another wonderful afternoon with my fiancé, we have been attending this wonderful place for about five years and love going every time we are in big Bear. There was a man playing live music on his guitar and it was absolutely beautiful and relaxing. We are big fans of the high altitude selection, and their food is absolutely amazing. Everything on the menu is so delicious. I would honestly say better than most sit down restaurants in the village.I am irritated to see the recent negative reviews. Accidents happen, if it was an honest accident leave this wonderful business alone. Also, If I was enjoying a glass of wine with my fiancé, I wouldn't want to hear loud people saying bad words so thank you to the bartender who told the group to stop saying F Bombs. Thank you Barrel 33 your a wonderful establishment and we loved meeting you and your family the afternoon we were there.

Came in almost at closing but was greeted openly. Our group ordered a round of drinks and lots of food. Staff were knowledgeable about different beers on tap and wines on hand. Left with a full belly and bottles of wine to enjoy at home. Will come in again when in BB.

Great spot to hang out with friends. They offer wine tasting and more. Great selection of wines from all over. They also have California wines from Napa, Paso, Temecula etc. they sell jarred pickles which make great gifts to take back home. We were in Big Bear for the weekend with friends, we had a great time. Ambiance is great here so is the customer service. Located at the village near shops and restaurants. Great find

While walking around the village in Big Bear Lake, we came across this wine tasting room and restaurant. I had been searching for a new wine decanter and I found one here. It is a very unique one but allows the wine to really open up and breathe due to its circular design. This place offers wine, beer and cider tasting, tasty food that comes from fresh, local ingredients, wines from regional vendors and a curated retail shop. It is family owned and has been open since 2017.Although we did not stay to wine taste or eat I do intend to come back as all the food looked very savory and delicious.There is a lovely patio out back for warm weather dining and wine tasting.Staff were helpful and efficient at check out and I really have enjoyed my new wine decanter.See you next time Barrel 33!

They were definitely busy the night we stopped in, but the bartender and the "waiter" (I'm using that term for the kind gentleman who brought our food to our couches, but I don't think that's the right word for him) were helpful, friendly and welcoming. They did let us bring the pups inside, which I really appreciated, and the "waiter" took the time to give them attention, too, always a bonus in my book.Our night started with a pour of the Oso Libre Grande, as recommended by the bartender, who dissuaded the hubs from getting the Oso Libre Carnal. The wine was fruity and a bit dry, the perfect pour to get our night going. Once we settled inside, at a corner next to a raucous party of revelers, we decided to order some of their small bites. The Simple Salad was $15.50, which I thought was expensive given it's literally just arugula leaves, cucumbers, tomatoes and balsamic glaze, but it was a huge serving, which we were able to share. I also ordered a cup of the soup of the day ($6.50), which was tomato basil and which was delightful! My husband got the Prosciutto Flatbread ($17) and helped me finish the massive salad. While we waited for our plates, we each got a flight of the red, which the bartender picked for us. The wines were very good, and we set about sipping and supping...only to be told that they were closing up soon and we had to pack up, at 9 pm on a Saturday night. It's our fault for not checking the hours on the site before we walked over, but it surprised us to see them closing up when both sides of the dining room were still full of boisterous people.

This place is a real gem off the Main Street. Great selection of local and regional beer and wine, family and dog friendly with a wine or beer tasting flight ? Come on now lol. They even have a couple of decent ciders on tap. Friendly and never rushed service plus live music on weekends

Wonderful place to stop in and have a glass of wine or beer. We had the wine flight and the selection offered was fantastic. The lady who greeted us, could be Shelly, was so welcoming as soon as we walked in. Explained the flight options for beer and wine. We came in with our dog and it was no problem getting seated with him. Dan was also very helpful and provided friendly and wonderful service. The couches were comfy and felt there were many options to sit and enjoy the wine.

Would recommend love the place and staff was really sweet and explained everything I need to know would come back again
