Beast Barrel - Joplin

In town for a family visit, we knew Brian had opened his restaurant “Beast Barrel” so we had to try it…. Well their not lying when they say the Brussel sprouts are good, there great!! It happened to be Saint Patrick’s day so I opted for the Shepards Pie, it was tasty just like I’ve gotten at true Irish Pub in NYC. My mom had the beef tips and she said they were delicious and more than she could eat. Our thanks to Brian and the wonderful staff at the Beast Barrel, you made a lovely evening for my family!Thank You.

Such a fantastic lunch spot. They had daily specials and make fresh sodas! Ask your server and they can make what you want. I had a refreshing raspberry soda. Things can be made gluten free if asked.The PBJammin burger was delicious and the shoestring fries were fresh and crispy. I would definitely come back next time I'm in town!

Our server was so kind but the ambiance was awful. It was about 2pm and the bartender was doing shots with a very loud group. The music was too loud, somehow the lights dimmed at 2:11pm? My dad got the pecker sandwich and he really enjoyed it but the fries were way too salty. I got a side Caesar and the croutons were SO good they added a star to this review. Our server said they're made in house so that's cool. The lavender cosmo was my first venture into lavender drinks and it tasted how my candle smells but I don't know if that's the intention... but again our server was awesome! Saving grace of our passing through town.

I drove 2 hours from home to eat here. It did NOT disappoint. The seabass over pasta was mouthwatering! The staff were so welcoming and kind.I was so impressed with the plant shop they have next door too.Be sure to bring extra money. You are going to want to buy plants or knick knacks.Totally worth the drive for a fun day!

Brought my partner today because he HAD to try the Brussels. He LOVED them. As I knew he would lol. I also tried the chicken Marsala, which was delicious, tho a little stodgy for my preference. The service was great as always and All Dogs Go To Heaven was on the TV nearest! Good grief, I haven't seen that in 30 years. A fabulous lunch was had.
