Never going here again. All of the staff was rude and unprofessional. I booked a table for my friends and I for 14 of us and when I got there they said only 10 can come in. After having to argue with the bouncer and explain that I already booked 14 of us, they made rude comments and slowly let us in. Then once we got to the table we were ready to buy our 2 bottles. Waitress gives me the menu and asks what I would like to order. I said Pinnacle and Absolute and she said no I can’t give you that. Grey Goose is sponsoring the night so you have to buy that. I said why do I have a menu then? I was told I can pick whatever I wanted. She said the bottles were discounted down to 200 a per bottle and I said I wasn’t getting 200 dollar bottles. I had 1 at 150 and the other at 200. She refused and said all we get is Grey Goose. So I said fine do it then. She comes back and pours the entire bottle between 10 glasses because our other friends were not there yet. The entire bottle is gone in 1 min. Then as we are drinking them and have them on the table, another worker comes and takes our full glasses and dumps them. Our waitress comes back and tries to pour the other bottle and it has only been about 20 min at this point. I told her no, we are still drinking the first round you poured. Plus she poured heavy so she could get rid of the bottle. And then she proceeds to tell me that if we don’t start drinking, they will sell our table to someone else... when we’ve only been there for about 40 min at this point. I’m paying $500 for you to treat my friends and I like trash, make quick money and make us leave? What kind of business is that? I booked for 730 to 11 and we were only there for a little over an hour. Waste of my time and money and I have never been treated so poorly.

Good food but the service was lacking big time...especially with there not being many people there. I will give them another chance.

Barley House delivers a top level experience every time! The Tuesday Taco specials are awesome-- choose from a variety of proteins, and the dressing is sweetly complementary throughout! Enjoy craft beers specials and a nice selection of spirits and timely entertainment. Stop in and enjoy your times, and inquire about VIP!

This is a good restaurant with good food. I came here on a Saturday to eat lunch. I walked into the restaurant and was seated at a large, round table outside. I ordered a lemonade with no ice and some french fries. The lemonade came quickly, and it tasted quite good. I got a refill which also tasted quite good. When I got my refill, I ordered french fries, which took a very long time to get. I had to wait a very long time to get my food, which was disappointing. A couple sat down at the table next to me, ordered their food and drinks, got and ate the food and drinks, and left before I got my food. Another table next to me, which had four people, got their food after I ordered and finished it before I got my food. While waiting for my food, I used the bathroom, which pretty clean. When I got back from the bathroom, my food was ready. I ate my French fries which tasted quite good and left the restaurant afterwards. I gave this restaurant 4 stars because I had to wait for my food for an extremely long time.

I dont know if you guys have read any recent reviews, but the service here is really lacking. All the bouncers think they are tough guys and the servers are kind of rude. I went in there with nothing but good energy and left with nothing but bad memories

Food is so good here. Happy hour drinks are a great deal. On the weekdays, they have food specials. Wednesday’s are $5 apps. It was a great experience.

The place is nice but everything is way overpriced. The food has a price on the menu and on my receipt the price were higher. The food is not that great either. The lettuce on my salad was old and could see browning parts. The grilled chicken tasted like precooked chicken heated in a microwave. I am definitely not coming to this overpriced location.

They are against social distancing and are purposely making sure no CDC guidelines are being followed. Will never go back to eat here again.

On Tuesday, May 5, 2020 between 12 and 2pm I placed an order over the phone for a Chick-Fil-A sandwich. I specifically asked for grilled chicken with sweet potato fries. Upon eating the food, I realized that my chicken was not cooked all of the way. I called the restaurant and informed the staff member that my chicken was not cooked all the way. The staff member asked me to stop in and bring the food back so that is what I did. Upon arrival back into the restaurant I gave the bag of food to the staff member. He took it to the back where the kitchen was. A group of staff members then went into the kitchen as well. In 5 mins or less, another staff member, a Caucasian male, who was heavy set came and told me I was misinformed and that my chicken was fully cooked. I explained to this staff member that it was not fully cooked and that I bit into the sandwich firsthand so I was not misinformed. Also, with chicken it is very easy to under cook it, it may look done on the outside but it can easily be uncooked in the middle. The staff member had attempted to give me another sandwich for my inconvenience, I explained to the staff member to keep the sandwich because I felt as if he was accusing me of lying. I then walked out. I do not appreciate this establishment trying to accuse me of lying about something so minute. I am a faithful customer of Barley House who ALWAYS tips and so are my coworkers. I will not support this establishment any longer and I will encourage people that I know not to as well.

Its an alright bar/club, if there were better options I would not go here but since its the only one of the nicest nightlife places in Cleveland you would find me there once in a while. Their VIP area is pretty neat, but I dont like how crowded it gets and the mess in the ladies room that is not being cleaned up is annoying. Some nights are better than the others.

Barely House is a lot of fun. Deb and I stopped there tailgating prior to the 1st Browns game. All kinds of craziness going on. Lots of this at 8 AM. Place gets filled up early. Didnt eat there, did have a few beers. Liked the guy juggling flaming bottles of hooch!

Was out with friends last night and one of them wasn’t doing too good so I decided to get her a glass of water and one for myself. The bartender told me “we don’t do that” and said I could buy one for $3. What kind of bar doesn’t serve their paying customers water? Come on Barley House, you really can’t afford to give a free glass of water?

I came here to get some good beer and good service and I got neither. Everything I ordered was out and the bartenders had no clue what was going on. I finally got my Sam Adams (3rd choice and only got it after asking twice) and I will not be back. Very disappointing.

Review №32

Im gonna be honest with you, the outfits deserve more than five stars, but the food is quite standard, however, no complaints with the food or service. A nice place for casual lunch or a better place to hangout later when they have a bit more of a party vibe going on.P.S. they have the largest margarita Ive ever seen.

Anybody that is black I do not recommend this establishment at ALL! Manager of the establishment was not professional when we asked for a legit reason why my brother was not allowed in after he respectful complied with removing his head cap. His words were “when you open your own establishment you can do whatever you want”.

I ordered from here on DoorDash. I paid $16 for 2 meager pieces of fish and barely a handful of tots. When I called and spoke to management they attempted to accommodate me but clearly the owners need to reconsider what a serving size is. I will NEVER order from here again.

Planned a conference event here for an idle Tuesday night. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. Pricing for a 110+ person event was very reasonable. The crowd on a Saturday night was VERY different from our group on a Tuesday, but it was a perfect fit for us. Thank you!

It’s fun on a weekend and there is life there to make the bar a good drunk dance floor kinda time. I had a friend who wasn’t doing too hot and when asking the bar for a cup of water they denied. They would only sell bottles of water for $3. I spoke to a manager and told him I had a friend who really needed a cup of water but they still denied. Pretty sad to watch. Of course I got him a bottle but that’s not a great policy!

Ive only ever gone at night when its a club. Expensive drinks but youre downtown so everywhere is going to be a little pricey. Great music and a fun place to let loose. Clientele is a younger crowd so if youre looking for something sophisticated this isnt for you. I always have a good time. Location is easy to get to and its right by a lot of other bars/clubs.

Lots of changes here. Security check in at the door now, people dress up more than they did a couple years ago. Plastic cup drinks that cost more. Fairly stuck up bartenders, way too crowded to dance and to loud to chill. Could use a better dj and a layout that makes the dance floor more accessible. Still a bathroom attendant in there working for tips. Attractive crowd.

WORST PLACE EVER!!! SAVE YOURSELF!!!My girlfriend and I were casually walking around on a Saturday night and ended up walking up a few steps into an upper area. The area was completely open and crowded and out of nowhere very big overzealous bouncer picked me up and threw me down the stairs without saying a word. Apparently we entered a restricted area without realizing it. Im 61 and 170ibs, and after giving him a couple choice words he unexpectedly picked me up again and body slammed me to the ground before another bouncer grabbed me and pulled me out the front doors while I pleaded to him to not throw me as they kicked me out since I was injured from the first attack and could barely stand up. Thank goodness he realized I was hurt and didnt throw me.This incident was completely uncalled for and didnt need to happen. All they had to do is tell us it was a restricted area. I will be following up with an attorney and police report.

A group of friends and I went downtown over the weekend and I had bought $30 worth of alcohol for my friends and I, when I had asked for a cup of water also. The bartender then proceeded to tell me that I would need to buy a bottle of water for $3... I told them I only wanted a glass of water not a bottle. However, she said I needed to purchase a bottle of water because after 10pm thats their policy.... it was 10:02pm. I find this policy absolutely ridiculous.. never have I been to a bar before that refused to give me a glass of water especially when I am a PAYING customer. Will never go back here again due to this experience. I would give 0 stars if I could.

The drinks were reasonably priced, a fun atmosphere. Drastically changed vibe around 10pm from a restaurant/pub to a club type of feel. Bartenders were very friendly, professional, and I never had to wait too long to be served. I didnt order any food but I have heard it is good. Very fun, would go again certainly. Definitely enough seating as well.

Was told last night I wasnt allowed in cause of rips in my shorts,while watching the same bouncer let whites in with the same style jeans or shorts on. The crazy part is i was just inside of the place and stepped out during halftime for the Browns game. But wouldnt let me back in afterwards. It was the fake Stone Cold Steve Auston bouncer.

Awesome place. Beautiful people and great service. I have to add this to my review...people are saying that Barley House discriminates, which is totally false. They have a wide variety of people allowed in their establishment, and do not discriminate. You will be required to be dressed to standards, and that means...not like we all are at a home cookout party... but dressed to be attending one of the TOP PARTY ESTABLISHMENTS IN CLEVELAND. The srevice has always been amazing, the staff is accommodating, and the the security staff protect the people who patronize their bar. If your looking for a wild, off the wall, crazy bar...this is not the place. If you want great drinks, great food, and an amazingly attentive bar staff... then this is your place.
