The Barrel Club

The whiskey collection is the star of the show, complemented by a small, but nicely-curated assortment of menu items. Good-looking indoor space, with accents that pay tribute to this venue’s whiskey theme. Service was average, unexpected for a slow night. A special request submitted through OpenTable was ignored.

Entertainment was too loud that night for dinner. Besides that everthing was perfect.

Server was very poor. Not well trained as far as talking to customers and explaining. Interrupted our eating to say she was.leaving and could we settle the bill. Very annoying as we only starting eating. Should have just passed on to next.sever
Rather than interrupt our conversation and lunch. Not very enjoyable to say the least!!

Excellent food and service.

Brunch was amazing!!

They charged us $1 to add ice to our drink order. I specifically asked was there a difference between neat vs iced whiskey as I’m a novice. He said not really I prefer mine iced. He could have said we charge you $1 for the ice. I wouldn’t have gotten any since neat is just as fine.

Food was very good. Service was outstanding.

The food was amazing and the service was great! Our soup and salad came out before the appetizer and the waiter took our appetizer off the bill. Will definitely be back again!

The crab-cakes were not as appetizing as the waiter assured us they would be and it was too loud to enjoy a casual conversation in the restaurant after the live music began.

Great food great service

The waiter was very polite and helpful with the drink menu. I ordered the barrel burger well done but got medium rare. I just ate it to not have to send it back and my guess would have to eat alone. I did enjoy their signature Moscato. The club membership seem high for a bottle of wine to me.

Everyone enjoyed their food . Positively delisicous. Great service. The place is beautiful. Can't wait to have the perogies again

The food has been great from the beginning. Love the look of the place, friendly greeting and good service. The only thing that still needs improvement is the timing. We were about halfway through our salad when the runner brought the entrees. We were given a steak knife for our delicious steaks, but told to take our forks from the salad plates when they cleared them away. It’s not a big thing, but an otherwise upscale experience was a little disappointing. We will keep going for the food and I am sure everything will smooth out.

Very loud, hard to have a conversation at a normal speaking level. Food was excellent. Would not dine again on the weekend.

Candied bourbon bacon was one of the best exer tasted. Chicken for two was very tender (took home leftovers). Steak was excellent and same for asparagus. Roasted potatoes very tasty too.

One of the best decaf coffees.

Would return but not for dessert which was a disappointment.

Enjoyed the candied Bacon appetizer . Husband thought the barrel club burger was cooked perfectly. The French onion soup was also very good. Legit selection of bourbons. House red wine blend also good and reasonably priced. Nice addition to Oak Lawn!

Food was really great! The server was very friendly. The ordering was off. I don’t know if it was a manual error or a computer error. I was brought the wrong wine. I just drank it anyway but I was charged for a high priced wine than I ordered. My daughter was brought the wrong meal and the table next to ours was brought the wrong meals and appetizers too. The prices are higher than I normally like to spend but the food was so good it was worth it. Some what slow between appetizers and meal which is tough with a kid in tow. Overall I would go back and give them another chance to work out the kinks in their system.

We loved The Barrel Club!!! The food was awesome as was the service. We will definitely be back.

Everything was well done great job!

Server was Craig, he did a great job, very attentive. Food was tasty, pricey but tasty.

First time here and loved it! Big open dining room, great ambiance and we could talk and still hear each other! Food was AMAZING! Will be back!

This is a very nice place to take a friend or a loved one to enjoy great food and service.

As a first time diner at this establishment, I was a bit disappointed. We had to wait about 20 minutes for our table although we had reservations, and during that time not only was there nowhere to sit, but it was nearly impossible to get a drink. Although the outside patio was open, we were told that we could sit there, but would not be served out there. It seems that the restaurant was fairly understaffed. I must say, the food was very good and while pricey for the neighborhood, it really wasn't overly expensive. The lighting in our booth was severely harsh though, and made for an unpleasant experience. It was like sitting under a spotlight. They were also out of my first entrée selection. Perhaps they are just ironing out the kinks in a new restaurant, but I won't hurry back soon, and certainly not on a weekend.

We have been to the Barrel Club a few times and have always had a great experience. Food is always fresh and flavorful.

Oscar our server was great! The manager was as well (unfortunately can’t remember his name). They both took the time to answer our questions and offered great suggestions to try. Only small qualm was that the lighting was a bit brighter than what I would have like for a 7pm dinner. I did ask if they could dim them and they said they dim automatically later on... just would have been nice if it happened sooner. Other than that, it was great!

We were there with 7 people for a birthday dinner and the staff was extremely accommodating. Service was excellent and food delicious as always. We have been here several times and have always enjoyed it.

Very nice place. Service was very good. Food great. A little pricey. A long wait for our check. Problem with the charge card machine. Would go back

One of the best burgers I’ve had in a long time. Service was great. Definitely going back.

The food was excellent and the service was outstanding. Because of the amount of food you receive, it is priced right.

Great place with amazing drinks and food. We enjoyed watching the bears game on a 200 in screen and enjoyed the $20 burger & beer special. The French toast was by far the best I’ve had.

We went with friends for the first time there. On the plus side the drinks were perfect and the service was outstanding. Our friends had the best chicken dinner ever. It was awesome visually and as we understood it tasted fantastic. My wife enjoyed the steak frites to a point. But the Bearnaise sauce was not her favorite. In hind sight she felt should have asked not to have it. As for the fish of the day which I had was Sea Bass. It was very good but the portion was quite small in my opinion. I would have had no problem paying a little more for a larger portion.

Delicious food..great service. had the pork chops...very generous serving. Will be back!

Great service, food and drinks. When I mentioned it was my birthday I received a complimentary bourbon flight and dessert.

Ambiance is great and host were friendly but the food was very salty. My tongue is burning because of the sodium content. Not good for hypertensive customers.

A little pricey for the neighborhood, but overall en excellent experience

Our waiter was not very attentive and did not come to check on us much. Actually the bus boy was phenomenal and we wished he was our waiter. He gave us recommendations, asked how our food was and checked on us much more than our waiter. 3 of us ordered Sangrias, and after a few each we felt there was little to no alcohol in them. The menu is limited, although what we did get was good.

A delicious Sunday lunch! Along with a great burger and crab benedict, our wonderfyl server (Jason) made this an exceptional experience. Oh yes, the mushroom appetizer was really good, too!

Food was great and the portions were huge! Wish the server warned me a little when I ordered the wedge (that was fantastic!) AND a full meal. Service was a little slow to take the order and all but the server was friendly and knowledgeable enough. Would definitely recommend and will return

First time here and I was impressed! Food was amazing. I had the French onion soup and lobster roll. My friend had the Fisherman’s platter and a side of the elotes! Incredible! Oscar our waiter was super friendly and was helpful in selecting menu items and drink flight. Very knowledgeable about the menu. My compliments to Chef Carlos on the well prepared dishes and coming out to speak with us. It was truly an honor. We will be back! Thank you for a great evening!

The food was excellent and our server was outstanding. Jason was fun and attentive since the moment we sat down.
