Barr's Public House

Excellent food. I recommend the truffle fries and the blt tacos. Their cocktails are very good, although a little pricey.

Great place for a bite and a cocktail with friends or a date. Craft beers, good wine selection, signature drinks, and food to compliment. Live music Thursday thru Saturday, but not overly loud. Friendly service, but when busy, or ordering the handcrafted cocktails, it can take some time, so be patient. It is worth it.

Last weekend, a group of us came here for Restaurant Week and we all definitely enjoyed the food. I got the Kobe Beef Burger and beer and they definitely did a good job on the burger patty (obviously the most important part) and the things that come on it.

It also came with some parmesan fries which by themselves weren't that great but then I asked for the chipotle ranch to go with it and it got really good. I also got an IPA and it tasted like one.

I lied. I also got half of a steak via trade (burger half). It was definitely a great steak at the price point, but by no means did it rank among the best steaks that I've had. It was definitely flavorful and had the chewing consistency of that of a good filet.

The overall ambiance was really nice. They had some artsy, modern day impressionist Tim Burton-ish photos along the walls and they layout of the restaurant was pretty unique. They had some guy come in and play a guitar too and he was pretty good. Service was pretty good despite how busy the restaurant seemed.
