What an amazing spot to stop in and enjoy an adult sports drink or two - friendly staff, incredible beer selection, what more could you ask for?

Came her for a close family friend’s wedding rehearsal dinner. Upon entering and looking for our party, the woman working the door, who was wearing a light blue dress, was SO extremely rude to my family member who was clearly waving to friends. She did not communicate clearly what she wanted us to do upon “checkin”, which we of course would have happily obliged, and was extremely rude and disrespectful. It was truly shocking her lack of professionalism and basic human decency. She should be fired. Very upsetting to start what is supposed to a lovely evening celebrating a happy couple that way - please reconsider your actions.

We were in Estes Park 5 nights and on 2 of them we ate/drank here. We loved the food truck variety each night as well as the beer variety on tap. We tried to go a third night but the truck had already packed up. This is a great alternative to other restaurants in town if you want a casual meal that won't break the bank.

This is off the main drag. Over looks a huge mountain that has a funicular going to the top. The American Lager was very good.

WARNING: Ingrid Bush, the owner of the Barrel, makes it clear—this place is NOT for events. Avoid at all costs. Ingrid's incompetence knows no bounds. She showed up two hours late to set up for our event, then had the nerve to scream at us when we expressed our frustration. Her utter lack of professionalism and respect for our contract turned what should've been a joyous occasion into a nightmare. Don't make the same mistake we did. Stay far away from the Barrel and its despicable owner, Ingrid.
