Food / Service

They serve a pretty standard mix of pretty standard bar food (pizzas, nachos, and so on). They have a moderate selection of beers (if you're a beer nut, check out the attached links for alternatives).

Mostly, these guys are going for familiar and comfortable; I didn't notice them excel at anything in particular, but they were professional and courteous.

Environment / Ambience

Ever seen a place with stuff on the walls? License plates, bicycles, and so on? Well, Barney's Beanery does that. They're experts on it.

It's a little on the dark end, but that's not too surprising. Also, it can get pretty loud (especially on game nights); if that's your thing, then enjoy, but I think I'd pick a more quiet spot to hang out with friends.
