Although a mere local bar in the neighborhood, this place has particularly delicious food, great appetizers and delicious seasonal cocktails to choose from. The service is attentive and extremely friendly and I like that their checkout process is automated and can be done quickly with a hand-held at the table - more efficient. The bathrooms are clean and in the summer they have a cute outdoor patio to soak in the sun.

My husband and I were walking through La Grange, looking for a place to eat on a whim. The ambience of this restaurant is evident even from the sidewalk and we were intrigued. This is the perfect date night vibe or getting drinks with friends - it's dark and moody and intimate with TVs and a ridiculous selection of bourbon and whiskey bottles. I ended up ordering the cocktail flight which was really delicious and the presentation was super impressive. My husband got something that was smoked and that drink was equally as impressive. I will say that the drinks and the vibe here outshine the food. It's not that the food was bad, it just wasn't super memorable and I'm not sure that we would order anything that we had ordered that night again. We'll see if we find something we like on the next visit. Our waitress was awesome. She is a blonde and very, very friendly and chipper. You will know who she is if you happen to hear her or if you are lucky enough and she is your waitress.

Clean! Service was great! Great cocktail menu. Good food. They have Malört for those of us who like that sort of thing. Right off the train tracks and LaGrange Road.

Stopped in for a drink, but I didn't try any food on my visit. The bartender was super friendly, and she provided great customer service! They have a great beer list. Only a few drafts are available, but plenty of can choices are available. My fiance liked that they had a good list of sours. Brunch menu looked good, I would come back to try it. Sit at the bar and have great service!

Went there on a Saturday night with a group of 3 couples and had a great experience. It has the vibe of an upscale whiskey bar, but tons of TVs to watch whatever sporting events are on. The cocktail menu is great with both seasonal options and plenty of creative whiskey, tequila, and vodka options. The whiskey list is really solid and all of the pricing is very reasonable for some harder-to-find pours. We enjoyed the Pork Belly Bao Buns, Southwest Dip, and Crispy Pork Belly appetizers to get started. The Bao Buns stood out enough that we had to get a 2nd order of them. I had the Short Rib Pasta which was fantastic and had tons of short rib in it. My wife had the PB&J burger which she said was good. The Skillet Cookie and Dirt Worms were enjoyed by everyone for dessert to finish off the night. Overall, a great experience and will be going back for sure.

First time trying this place for my husband & I's anniversary, and I'd we enjoyed our experience. This location is located near shopping & other restaurants that is convenient. Although we scheduled a reservation, we were greeted/seated immediately. I liked the ambiance of this restaurant & the hostess, and server were all pleasant as well. Unto the food! I tried the shrimp & grits which were bomb!!! Very flavorful, warm & tasty. For the price I would like just a tad bit more. My husband tried the Hunger steak with broccoli which was bomb as well outside of the steak sauce, ( it tasted more like gravy). We also tried the Mr. Right & Frosé craft cocktails which were pretty good as well. All in all, service and food was great - fast & tasty. Would recommend coming to try.

Honestly a little confused on the low ratings for Barrel House. I've stopped through here after the train only one other time, however today was my first time eating here. Standard sports bar - lots of TVs and seating available. They have a nice drink menu with a cocktail list. Non-alcoholic cocktails are available too. They sound like they change their seasonal cocktails. We ordered two appetizers - both were excellent. We ordered the grilled artichoke dip and the crispy pork belly which is a little Korean BBQ inspired. We loved both! Wish the artichoke dip came with a few more slices of bread. Both appetizers are great for 2-4 ppl. Service was great - Edgar was prompt, kind, and kept our drinks flowing. My only complaint and guess for low reviews is maybe the prices; they might run a little higher than you'd expect for a suburb but it's conveniently next to the train station so it's easy to stumble in and enjoy your time. I'd make a trip back!
