While other reviewers appear to have missed out on what is going on at Barrelhouse, let me fill you all in.
Been here in Phoenix for almost five years, lived in some of best and worst communities, seen places come and go...
Barrelhouse will stay. Here's why:
(1) personable service - within 3 visits, the servers knew my name, means the world to me not to be so anonymous.
(2) exquisite cuisine - let everyone else do wings and fries; come taste it for yourself.
(3) fare knowledge - these folks know their stuff! Need a recommendation? They know! Ask!
In closing, as a regular at Barrelhouse and the current Duke, I cordially invite you to check this place out. If you are anything like me or my girlfriend, you'll be glad you did!
