I ordered the Pork Knuckle, which was fantastic—tender and practically falling off the bone, just as it should be. The only downside was that the menu listed duck fat potatoes, but what I received was a lovely potato salad instead. I didn't mention it since the salad was still enjoyable, and it was probably better for my waistline; however, a heads-up regarding the substitution would have been appreciated. My partner opted for the trio of mini burgers, which looked delightful, and she was quite pleased with her choice. The service was excellent; although they were busy and had just enough staff for the number of diners, they managed everything with ease. I don’t visit that area often, but there were many tempting options on the menu, so I would definitely return.
5 STARS!!! I had a wonderful lunch outside in the beautiful sunshine at the beer garden. I highly recommend the Barrel Grazing Share Plate, especially paired with the exquisite Merlot! It's the perfect place to catch up with great friends while enjoying delicious food in a warm and friendly atmosphere! I will definitely be returning!
We have been to Barrels Ashes on many occasions and even had our staff christmas party there. The food is great, the venue is cool and the bar is awesome. They have an amazing selection of cocktails and beverages. We will be back again and again!

The service here was exceptionally friendly and attentive. We came in for a late lunch and decided to share a few dishes. We ordered half racks of pork ribs with potato salad and slaw, a barrel salad, and crispy wings. I have to say, the ribs were fantastic—extra tender and juicy! The cocktails were also impressive. I tried the Lavender 43, which was delicious. It had a smooth finish, and the combination of gin, licorice liqueur, and watermelon juice was simply delightful. Let's just say it's easy to sip on a few of those!
