Whiskey Barrel Saloon

only go here if you are Caucasian. Otherwise the staff will be rude. Also if you put on any music in the jukebox except country they will turn it off even though you have to pay for it.

Nice bar! The atmosphere is chill and the bartender knows how to make a great drink! Will be back.

This is a cool place that is worth visiting. I will be planning to go back. However, the drawback is that this place is basically a dive bar and you never know what to expect when you go. For example, I arrived towards the end of Monday Night Football to relax and have a beer. Apparently the staff had a different idea. About 10 minutes after the game was over, they just turned off the TVs and lights decided to close – no announcements were made. This was not even 9:30 pm. So go check it out, but it’s a bit wild at times.

Great place. I came in once about a month ago and I’ve been coming in every Friday for dinner ever since. The owner and bar staff are all friendly and good to their regulars.
The food is great and the beer is cold. Haven’t been in on a crowded night yet but its a perfect place to unwind after work.

They claim to have home style comfort food and they definitely deliver!
Best Porkchop I have ever had.
Meatloaf was savory and delicious
Kabobs were fresh and very good.
Best burger in town by far.
New favorite app-​buffalo pot stickers!
Great job Whisky Barrel Tavern

Tough place to review for lunch.
Pros: Very good steak sandwich with excellent fries. The service gal was over the top in her service.
Con: The price of a steak sandwich and ice tea was over $ 20.
Really good food with excellent service, tho!

Ugh… Why do we keep trying
So we came here tonight, second time in about two months. Last time didn’t go so well. We arrived at about 12:35am on a Friday night and were turned away at the door. The guy at the door said «We need everyone out by one» (the place was packed by the way.) Great, that’s plenty of time for a beer. Apparently not, we were not let in.
We try again tonight. This time earlier still. It’s 11:40 when we walk in, and make our way to the bar. It’s packed with people (St Patrick’s Day and all) and we try to edge our way to the front. The girl bartender makes eye contact with me, but helps someone else. I figure we are next in line. Someone at the bar says «Last Call!!», and we keep trying to get their attention. Finally the male bartender walks over. He rudely asks, yeah?
We order two Irish car bombs. He then tells us with an extreme attitude that they aren’t serving anymore. We say, «but you just now made last call» and he tells us that they can’t serve past midnight. It was 11:50 at that point. We explain that we’ve been waiting since before he made last call, and he snaps at something about there being 200 people here and that we aren’t getting anything. What’s the point of making a last call if you aren’t even going to honor it.
I really wanted to like this place. I tried. But customer service goes a long way with me. When you can’t even nicely tell me that I’ve been wasting my time in your establishment for 20 minutes, I’m not going to go back. Just be friendly, it isn’t that hard to not have a bad attitude. I understand that it gets busy and your tired and frustrated. I get it. I deal with it every day. It’s not an excuse to be a jerk.

So looking forward to a rock country bar, too bad it sucked. Not much country or rock music playing. I guess it’s more for marketing purposes than anything else. I wish they knew their music better. It would go over well.

Good casual fun where there seems to be a lot if regulars and the staff is top notch! I will definitely go back and drink a beer and watch a game!

What an amazing little gem in Stockton! Amazing food! (Bacon bouquet: eat it) and excellent service and prices. What a great place to come to watch sports!
I’ll be back!

I ate here for the first time and was not impressed, I had the sirloin steak sandwich, it was just ok, a little pricey for what you get. Nice place to listen to a band and have some drinks but not for the food.

I have two words for you, okay, actually three: Pancho and Lefty. Without question my new favorite drink! This would appeal to the margarita fan. (It’s even better if the owner is around to make it for you). I think I drank twenty of them over the week while attending various events and visiting with friends.
With each visit I kept thinking to myself, where was the Whisky Barrel when I was in college? This is a great place to just hang out with friends, listen to good music and have a beer. If that isn’t good enough, there’s also good food. I’m not one to mess with perfection, so I’ll just say «What Rachel said,» as her review is spot on. (Wait? They have onion rings? That feels like a missed opportunity on my part.) The live entertainment is top notch. I had the chance to catch an 80s cover band one night. (Speaking of bands & reviews, maybe the WB folks would prefer to keep liquids away from the stage equipment? I’m just saying, two sides to every story and it would take more than «water-​gate» to keep me away from Pancho and Lefty.)
The only negative thing I have to say is that I’m disappointed that I missed midget wrestling. I guess there’s always next time.

I absolutely love this place! I would recommend the mac & cheese appetizer and the chicken pot pie. I go in at least once a week for that mac & cheese! Friendly staff and owners! The décor is absolutely beautiful and the place is always clean. Great music and vibe. Definitely makes you feel like you’re NOT at a typical Stockton place :)

What a joke
Let people smoke out front and leave the doors wide open
The place fills up with smoke while you eat dinner
Terrible

An Absolutely Great Place!!! The Atmosphere, the Bartenders, the Menu, all Wonderful. Whether you are having Lunch, Dinner or Drinks, you won’t be disappointed. Go in and have Steak and Eggs and a «to die for» Bloody Mary for breakfast. Or try an awesome Bratwurst Sausage Sandwich or a mouth watering Patti Melt for lunch. Their Dinners can’t be beat. Great Steaks! Try the «2 For» Tuesday Specials! Oh and did I mention entertainment. Great Bands on Friday Nights. You have to go to the Whiskey Barrel Tavern, you won’t be disappointed!!!

Had an early dinner here. Good was tasty and drinks were good. We were too early for them live music but the music they had on was actually pretty good. I had the braised beef with noodles and my husband had the steak. Next time we’re going to stay for the live music.

The «huckleberry
Martini was excellent! A must try! The next time I will have a Bloody Mary! It looked very tasty. Warning: these drinks catch up to you quick ! :)

I had been wanting to check out the Whisky Barrel for a while and this Saturday we ended up getting invited out by our friend, perfect opportunity! We headed in around seven and there were only a couple people at the bar. The bartenders greeted us with a smile and asked if we had ever been in before, very nice right off the bat.
The bartenders also ended up being the owners and were very nice, great with recommendations and told us some history about the bar. I can’t believe it’s only been around since October!
There is a great drink selection and a wide variety of whiskies, the food was great too! We only tried the fried green beans and prosciutto wrapped asparagus but I saw what other people were having and it looked and smelled amazing! I would definitely go back to try a burger and those great looking onion rings!
While we were drinking and eating the owners asked us if we would be staying or want to come back for the live music later on and even gave us passes to get in without the cover– very nice! While we didn’t end up staying for the music the place really filled up and I can see this being a fantastic place for a beer/​whisky, food and entertainment!
I’ll definitely be going back and you should check it out! Whether you need a beer, straight up whisky or a nice mixed drink in a mason jar– they’ve got you covered.

Our new spot! Has some of the best country bands playing, great food and awesome bartenderS!

The bartenders are nice, the place is rustic, but isn’t there supposed to be a bull to ride?
And I still can’t decide if the fact that there was a biker gang there on Saturday was a good or bad thing?
