      Typical 10 bucks for your drinks. I love that they serve old fashions the real way. Who knew quiet ol' Burlingame had some good spots for nightlife. ATM inside was very convenient. Outside patio is also very rad. Overall, it's a good spot if you just want to drink and spend some time with friends. Will definitely come here again. Patio lamps outside too if you're cold. Cheers.

      Enjoyed cocktails with friends on a Wednesday. Pricing was reasonable and cocktails were good. They have an outdoor space that is pup friendly. Service is nice and we enjoyed good laughs.

      Only downside is that they don't have a lot of bar food. They have a couple choices of empanadas.

      Will return to relax on a sunny day.

      This place felt familiar and I guess I was last here 9 years ago! I met up with a group here for happy hour and we had a space on the patio which was lovely, although devoid of any shade. Once the sun went down a bit it was perfect and spacious for us to mix and mingle.

      I tried two different drinks, both tropical in nature, and they were both delicious. We also had three types of empanadas, of which I enjoyed the chicken and beef style.

      As I was leaving, I noticed another large group indoors but didn't notice any impact to our service, drinks were quick and the team serving us was friendly.

      I'd certainly stop by again if I was in the area.

      Came here on a Friday night with a few friends. There were plenty of tables for small groups, and one big table for a 8+ group. Bar seating is an option.

      The music wasn't too loud and the ambiance was unique. The drinks were decent and priced fairly well to the surrounding area

      Parking is challenging in this area but not impossible. Accessible by train too. Clean interior.

      I'd come again!

      I really enjoyed the drinks here, it was a nice treat at the end of a long day. The bartenders were friendly. They were playing sports on the tvs, and the music was really eclectic actually, like one day they were playing MF DOOM, the next they were playing peso pluma. I sat at the bar but the patio area also looked lovely. I will definitely be coming back next time I am in the area.

      What a vibe, great drinks!

      The bartenders are QUALITY...
      They are very attentive and quick to push out quality drinks. The place was not really crowded due to the rain but the patrons were diverse and respectful.
      One thing I did notice was that despite being able to work efficiently, the bar did cycle through workers often. Would begin socializing with the group and then look to the bar, new bartenders. Talk more, look back and it was back to original with maybe some new faces or mix of them.

      There was one bartender guy that looked like a model or belonged on one of those Netflix dating shows. Tipped him twice as much because... why not?

      The drinks were unique!
      There was a matcha martini that was really good. The after taste had a nice matcha aroma and the mezcal drink, campfire something.
      Those two were the ones I asked for and both delivered in terms of taste, visual appeal, and price.

      Did not get to try the food since we arrived pretty late.
      However, would be cool to come back soon to!

      Went here for drinks prior to going to Pulpo tapas and wine bar. Must have at least one cocktail on Father's Day! This is where I had my first Penicillin, and my most recent didn't disappoint, even though the bartender regretted not having candied ginger for it, it was lovely

      Thursday night outs

      It wasn't crowded on a Thursday night which was a plus! The vibes of the place is exactly my vibe;

      + yummy drinks
      + not crowded and loud
      + bar seating has a great view

      How fun! Definitely would come back

      I gotta say, as a person that also works in this industry- I seldom find places that blow me away. Insert Thiago. This guy crushed it. In a flurry of customers he still managed to make me an impeccable cocktail - the minted matcha- whilst carrying genuine conversation/service with all of us simultaneously. What a cozy spot. I will
      Be back. Thanks T

      Barrelhouse stands out as a local bar scene. The place perfectly balances laid-back and lively vibes, with stylish rustic-industrial decor.
      Their impressive drink menu features an array of creative cocktails, however their bartender Thiago's extraordinary mixology skills and friendly demeanor elevate each drink to a unique experience. He contributes significantly to the warm atmosphere that makes you want to linger.
      With diverse crowds and great music, Barrelhouse has all the makings of a favorite spot. It's got character, great drinks, and in Thiago, a bartender who transforms your night out. Definitely worth checking out for Thiago's mixology magic alone.
