They have a great happy hour that includes drinks and food. Good place for groups to have some cocktails and share a few snacks (love the beet and shrimp pintxos).
Impress your date and enjoy delicious tapas - try the braised beans, black ink calamari, tenderloin carpaccio and pork loin – in a inventive & modern setting.
Fresh oysters and clams, sooo good and $1 each, and a mixology bar with fresh cocktails, the whole place makes you feel like youre inside a giant barrel. A must go!!!!
Great decor & price-- always wonder why it's empty for brunch. Then I hear the corny 80's music, see one server manning the place, and remember how unmemorable the food is. And keep walking past.
love this place! so cute and perfect with a small group for some vino. dinner is cozy and brunch is bright & energizing. a must try in the east village!
Everything is awesome here- highly recommend the bucket of mussels, Mac n cheese, sangria, tiramisu, & beef sliders. Make a reservation on the weekends!
The main reason to eat at the Barrel is the covered sidewalk patio, which is lovely on a warm summer afternoon. The garlic shrimp is tasty too. Service is slow.
What makes for a good Sunday? The fact that The Barrel extends their already happy hour every Sunday – Thursday from 7 p.m. to close if you sit at the bar. That's right.
Not what I expected. This is what it would taste like if TGI Fridays served "tapas". Generally heavy, greasy, and with low quality ingredients (tomatoes specifically). Sangria tastes like grape juice.
Housed on a trendy block in the East Village, this European tapas restaurant offers contemporary interpretations of Spanish, French and Mediterranean cuisine in an earthy, yet modern atmosphere.
