The Barrel

The patrons are a horrific combination of completely wasted young people, 40-​something men hoping to bang one of the many young girls and people who look and smell homeless. Dive bar, yes. Fun no! Old and run down. Valley’s weirdest.

This is just a simple bar had nothing special in here, the location is great it’s very close to my house other then that they need to clean it more and put something nicer.

This Bar is OK. I was there only one time and nothing special about this place other then it’s quiet and have nice friendly people

I want so bad to like this place. But the girl with the Pinterest braids ignored me twice when I walked up to get a beer. She was on her phone.

I had a great time for karaōke. Everyone was really friendly and outgoing. They have a great pizza spot across the street with huge ass pizza slices and the prices are great to, especially when your singing and drinking. I’ll definitely come back.

This place needs a deap clean and new furniture. It just looks old and worn down. The only reason why I go here is for a quick cheap beer. I will not go here to hang out for more than an hour.
For sure a hole in the wall.

Great times. Every Wednesday S.W.E Music group brings new tunes and awesome vibes. Be sure to ask Kate to make you a cinnamon toast crunch!

This place is a dive bar. It’s old, it’s no frills, it has a regular clientele, and that’s all part of its charm.
There’s karaōke on Saturday nights. Everyone goes up to sing — divas and wannabes — and everyone really seems to be having a good time! It’s a mixed crowd here, 20-​something girls, middle-​aged men, older women and just about every other age demographic is represented at some point throughout the night.
There’s a pool table, shuffleboard, free popcorn, and the overall feeling of an establishment that’s been around for a very long time and hasn’t changed much. Oh, and the drinks? Fairly priced and fairly strong. Can’t go wrong with that!

This place is actually really fun for a dive bar — even if they do have a glory hole in the men’s bathroom… That could be a myth…

When I walked in a couple dudes went «ring the bell! There’s a female here!» and that’s pretty much all that needs to be said. I wish I was lying about this, but it actually happened.
If you want a bar where sleazebags pay for your drinks without hesitation (in hopes they might get laid), then this is the place to go. other than that, NEVER COME HERE.
The place looks as shitty as the patrons act
Seriously though, never come here unless you’re really desperate for a lay that probably won’t call you the next day and doesnt care what you look like (I went in on a Friday night with very minimal makeup, normal [work] clothes and was still swarmed).

Such a great place to be on Fridays and Saturdays — great people and best bartenders & DJ in the Valley!

I came in at about 2pm to play a game of pool and felt as if the bar tender did not want me there! She ask to hold my id after I had already paid and racked the table, which might I add never happened the last 3 times I played there and was really rude! I left and decided to call and complain about the service in turn the same bartender answered the phone and hung up on me as I was explaining my problem! If you ask me she sounds like a BIG TIME RACIST!

Oh The barrel, a cozy dive bar with a friendly atmosphere on the weekends. Usually on Fridays, & Saturday’s they have karaōke going on, the crowds are always friendly & laid back. They have pretty good prices for their cocktails, the beer on the other hand seems like they raised the prices on pitchers & bottles the last time I was there it cost $ 23.00 for a pitcher of shock top & 1 bottle of new castle. I also need to remember to stop ordering beer from the tap here the pitchers are usually flat & a little warm.
But besides the bad beer taps this spot is a decent hang out spot.

t’s a dive, and super old. That’s a compliment. Clientele is average, and mostly calm. the music isn’t overbearingly loud, and the prices are pretty rad. When we were there the bartender was playing lots of Dropkick Murphy’s, and Flogging Molly. It was appreciated! They have an awesome old shuffleboard table that has to be from the 50’s. There are darts, a pool table, and Golden Tee Golf. A jukebox as well. Full bar, and nice draft selection. We were there, and «Flight Of The Navigator» was playing on one of the TVs. Pretty rad
Brief history — Apparently in the 70’s many adult ‘educational’ films were shot on the pool table. Also it’s said that some episodes of ‘Shameless’ were shot there as well

The bottled 805 beer was warm, I noticed the cooler door was left open the entire 2 hours I was there. The kettle one shot I had tasted like cheap vodka, not kettle one. The bartender was giving away her bikini/​nude calendar though to the locals. So I guess that’s a bonus if you’re a guy. Strangest dive bar I’ve been to yet.

I love coming to this bar because of the most awesome bartender, SJ!!! She is simply the best. I like coming here because she always knows my drink of choice. She makes the expierence here so much fun! For good drink and loads of laughter come in Sunday’s and Monday’s when she’s behind the bar. You won’t be disappointed.

Exactly what I expected in a dive bar.
Came on a Wed night and it was pretty dead. Just locals like me.
Bartender was pretty and sweet and the drinks were fine.
Don’t come here if your goal is to get laid. But DO come here if you want a nice time with friends for drinks that won’t break the pocketbook.
Complete dive bar, 4 solid dive bar stars.

This is as hole in the wall as it gets. My date and I finished an early dinner on Thursday and was looking for a place to get some happy hour drinks. We happened to come across this place and gave it a try. BIG MISTAKE!
First off, the patrons in here were already way past drunk and it was only 5pm. It was definitely a sausage fest considering the barkeep and my date were the only females in there. There is a $ 20 minimum for any credit card purchase so you may have to use the ATM. The drunk patrons were very loud… to the point of annoying loud drunks. Place definitely needs to be cleaned up a bit (even for a dive bar, it was pretty nasty).

Normally I’m a fan of this place but my last visit was less than fantastic. I think they need to reevaluate their shuffle board table and or discs because something is majorly wrong. The place was also fairly empty for a Friday night while it’s usually standing room only. The karaōke is always in full effect and always a good time though.
I just ordered a beer so I couldn’t tell if the drinks were watered down or not but my friends didn’t complain and the bartender is still looking good.

Warning: Not for the faint of heart or the pretentious or snobs,
Now I’m not saying I’m not a pretentious snob sometimes, because I am most of the time, but this place is a HOOT on a «No Expectations Friday». There is a pool table, karaōke, drink specials and a 62 year old man in suspenders that freestyles. The wild thing is the karaōke patrons are pretty good, and there is a line of them!
There is parking on the street and never a line. Yes, it smells like urine in te alley sometimes, and you probably need to bring your purell, but you will have fun if you come here with an open mind and are hopefully already a few drinks in.
