Barrel & Board

Came in for drinks this Sunday Funday and we loved the vibe! The drinks were happy hour priced at $5 and were delicious! The bartender, Gunther, was very friendly and had us chuckling the entire time! Definitely would recommend!

What a wonderful experience tonight! We sat outside and the lovely Cassidy was so fun and helpful. The drinks she recommended (and made) were ON POINT!!! Food was amazing - get the bruschetta - it's so fresh and fun!

There's so many amazing things to say about this place. Large and delicious, unique charcuterie, boards. Craft cocktails, beautiful ambience, and great service.I come here and bring new people every chance I get.

Came here on Sunday night. The availability of parking spaces around the restaurant is pretty much non existent however, there is a large parking structure a block away and I felt safe as a female to walk to and from at night as it was in a well-populated area. My friend and I were greeted promptly and they were very friendly and sat us within a few minutes. Our server, Cassidy (I believe that was her name) was very friendly and kind. She offered some great suggestions for beverages and dishes. I was hesitant about the salmon because I'm pretty picky with salmon. I think seafood is tricky and can often come out dry. She said it was popular and her favorite so I trusted her. It was delicious and I ate my entire dish. I was pleasantly surprised by the refried beans but it complimented the saffron rice and mango chutney perfectly. Well done guys!I look forward to coming back and trying other dishes, especially the dessert!

Excellent happy hour place! Prices and quality really can't be beat. We got there around 4 and it wasn't busy at all. They didn't have the kitchen open until 5 but they still had snacks like popcorn and mini charcuterie boards.We both got glasses of wine ($4 on hh!) and they had a couple white and a couple red options. We also got the San Diego blend popcorn and char-cup-erie to share. The popcorn is essentially a kettle corn with cheddar on it. I think I would have preferred just cheddar honestly but it was different to try. The charcuterie which we thought would just be a small cup of cheese and meats was actually a mini board that was filled with so much stuff. A steal at $10. Only one cheese on it but it was a good sized wedge. Service was very fast and friendly. Would definitely come back!

Fantastic ambiance, delicious bites, and welcoming atmosphere. Autumn was friendly and made us felt right at home with excellent recommendations and cat stories. Who doesn't love good cat stories!

This place is alright. We like whiskey-based cocktails, especially old fashioned, but we didn't see that on the menu. The bartender told us he could make one for us (awesome!!!) and so we ordered those. They came out good. We were seated in the back bar. It's a pretty neat little hidden area where it's more like a bar than a restaurant that you see from the outside. It feels nice and private; would make a perfect spot for a date.

The wine selection here is second to none, particularly paired with one of their delicious charcuterie boards! I stopped by for the first time a couple weeks ago, and was also surprised at their dinner menu, which has more than just hors d'oeuvres options. I went with the salmon, which seems to be a favorite with many regulars. It was incredibly good, and paired with the terrific service and relaxed atmosphere -- myself and my guest left happy. I will be stopping back, most likely for happy hour and the charcuterie board!

I had the pleasure of dining at Barrel and Board the other night with a friend, and it was an experience worth sharing. We had a 5 PM reservation, which is right when the restaurant opens, so we had our choice of places to sit. The ambiance was welcoming and set the tone for a relaxing evening.For drinks, I opted for a glass of Cabernet, which was rich and satisfying. My friend chose a Japanese lager, but unfortunately, she wasn't very fond of it. However, this minor hiccup didn't overshadow our overall experience.The highlight of our evening was undoubtedly the shareable cheeseboard. It was, without a doubt, one of the best cheeseboards I've had in a long time. The board came with three exquisite cheeses, a delightful assortment of fruits, fresh bread, nuts, and jam. We also decided to add the salami trio, which was a fantastic decision. Each element was fresh, flavorful, and paired beautifully together. What stood out to me was how the selection of cheeses changes throughout the day. As they finish a block of one cheese, they introduce another, ensuring a dynamic and varied tasting experience. This attention to detail speaks volumes about their commitment to quality.Our server was attentive and knowledgeable, making sure we had everything we needed without being intrusive. The service added to the overall excellent dining experience.In summary, Barrel and Board is a gem for cheese lovers and anyone looking for a refined yet relaxed dining experience. The rotating cheese selection is a unique touch that keeps things interesting, and the quality of both the food and service is top-notch. Highly recommended!

An opulent atmosphere for a wonderfully romantic meal. The food was amazing. Thank you for a wonderful experience. We will be back!
