We had our wedding reception at the Barrel Factory and we couldn't have had a more amazing experience. Andi and her team took such good care of us throughout the entire process and our day was better than we could have imagined. At no point during the planning process did we feel overwhelmed or stressed out. Everything was thoughtfully handled down to the smallest details. Food and drinks were amazing, service was exceptional and the space was beautiful. They really take care of everything. We cannot recommend them enough.
I was here as a DJ and the event coordination is not on par. Poor communication with the staff no call backs I even left 2 voice messages just to introduce myself and Luger info. I get there and set up and Andrea has attitude problems . Complains on the set up time, well it is typical for an hour to a bit more for set up. We weren’t anywhere near running late so we were good. Then she proceeds to micromanage to no end, I had to tell her to step back I have done this hundreds of times and I know what I am doing. Then, they set the vendor tables way tucked in the back. Well, as a DJ we like to be within eyesight of our equipment (which is why I typically don’t eat on the job. I have worked with much better and professional coordinators and event staff. Vendors, I say avoid this establishment if you can, their wedding staff is not on par with what the standards are of the event industry.
We came here looking for local bourbon. Great venue, atmosphere, food and drink, and most importantly, crew. Bartender Eddie was very friendly and welcoming, knowledgeable of the products. Sat at the bar and sampled the wares. We had fish and chips, which was amazing followed by creme brûlée - yummy. The owner invited us to the loganberry vodka with him as we were sampling a flight. We took away with us a Professor Boozle OFW and an Evergreen Gin. Both as gifts for family overseas. We can’t wait to come back. Just loved the quality of experience ☺️
Food is amazing here without a doubt. This is my second time here, and I'll happily always come back. The waiter was very friendly but knocked 1 star off because he forgot about our dessert, but I reminded him and he wasn't 100% knowledgeable about the menu but when he wasn't sure he did find out that was a huge plus. Pics don't do justice for this food. Go try it yourself.
What. An. Amazing. Night. This was our pick for our weekly date night, and we could not have been more impressed, or had a nicer time out. Both of us expected a rustic themed, enjoyable evening but neither of us expected to have one of the best meals we’ve had in ages. This was our first time here, and it certainly won’t be our last. The atmosphere is inviting and warm, and the charm of the industrial factory mixed with hidden side street gem hit you to your core. We dined here in February and we’re lucky enough to enjoy their “Valentines” menu which runs all February long. Probably the best deal you’ll see all year we got bread and butter, 2x drinks (cocktails, specialty cocktails, beer or wine), 2x soup or salad, 2x filet (or chicken, salmon, lasagna), and 2x dessert (chocolate cake, creme brûlée, apple egg rolls, or another chocolate dish) all for $75!! I couldn’t believe it, and we had to ask the server twice to make sure we were dreaming. Our food was first class start to finish. The salads were decorative, light and refreshing but still quite filling. The steaks were cooked exactly as ordered, and had a great grill char to them which paired perfect with the spice blend- don’t get me started on the demiglaze which I happily would have drown in. Dessert was sweet and tasty, and we ate every last crumb. Our server was attentive and made sure we had everything we needed, and we were even lucky enough to dine there on a night the restaurant was filming footage for their website so we got to see the behind the scenes drone flying around the dining room, and got to meet the owner(s) as well. Run, don’t walk here on your next date night, you won’t regret it.
