    Horses daughter and whiskey smash
    Shauna Z.

    Another great experience at barrelhouse. We got there early on a Friday night and was seated right away. Several servers attended to us throughout our stay, making sure we were taken care of. We had well made drinks - horses daughter, penicillin, and whiskey smash. And we got to enjoy World Cup soccer. Highly recommended

    Came on a Wednesday evening and thankfully not packed. Loved that Barrelhouse has an abundance of seating - bar, booth, as well as an outdoor patio. They have so many great specialty drink options but opted for something sweet, the Peach Freeze. I absolutely LOVED this drink. Comes with white wine, peach puree, lemon, and peach liqueur. Tastes like juice, and cannot taste the wine at all. My boyfriend got the "El Fuego" The Heat. I was not really a fan of this. Has Blanca tequila, mezcal, Serrano pepper, pineapple, agave and lime. Definitely way too strong for my liking! If you want something with a little kick, try this one out. We ordered another drink to share, Hibiscus Haze, which has reposada tequila, hibiscus, agave, and lime. This one has a sweet flavor at first, with a little sour aftertaste, but refreshing. Six a cute pink drink with a flower topping. Great vibes, ambiance, and music! Would definitely come by again to try their other drinks. Benny and Jason were our bartenders and have excellent service!

    Ismael was the best! He was so accommodating and provided great service. He was very attentive and even made sure to give us last call before happy hour was over which we really appreciated. The drinks were delicious and strong. It was a very nice ambiance too - perfect for a date night or happy hour when the girls. 100/10 rating. I would come back for the service alone.

    Really good drinks and cozy ambiance. Went for a group of 6 and the service was good. The only thing is that the bathrooms require stairs. Overall very nice though.

    We were looking for a dog friendly place to grab some drinks. They allowed the dogs inside and outside. We dropped in Saturday around 6:15pm. It wasn't that busy. We sat inside instead since it was a windy day. They had a full bar. Drinks came out at an ok speed. They also sell empanadas here if you want to grab a bite.

    Great bar for after dinner. Warm and chill vibe. Enjoyed live music on a Thursday night.

    Barrelhouse Burlingame has quietly become one of my favorite stops in the area and a lot of that credit goes to the people behind the bar. Met Rob for the first time tonight and I'm already a little annoyed at how good he is. Solid drinks, great instincts, calm steady presence that makes the whole thing look way too easy. Quiet night but he still showed up and delivered like he had something to prove. First time meeting him and I'm already plotting my return. Well played Rob. Well played. And then the empanadas showed up and honestly the whole evening just leveled up. Nobody told me they were that good. That's information people need upfront. Food and ambiance back it all up too. This place has it together.

    Good specialty cocktails, a nice spot to have a drink and chill in a nice social night time atmosphere. They have a good cocktail menu with many different selections. My drink had guava, believe it was called "a night in Havana". My boyfriend got the mint matcha. All drinks were very fresh, would love to come back.

    Mexican Bonfire cocktail smoked with oak kindling.

    In the mood for a craft cocktail at a no-frills bar? This is a good place for you! Stopped in cause it looked way better than an airport hotel bar. Excellent libations made with the utmost care for the craft!

    New fav bar. I'm so obsessed with their drinks and empanadas. The minted matcha, London essence and whiskey smash were 10/10 and I'm so picky with my cocktails. Definitely coming back to try the others!! The beef empanada had such good flavor and if you love mushrooms and pepper Jack cheese you'll love the mushroom empanadas too. Chimichurri was good with the empanadas but I wish it came with it instead of costing an extra $1.50. I also enjoyed their outdoor seating area. Overall loved this place so much!!

    Horse Trainers Daughter, empanadas, and Rested in Barrels
    Victoria H.

    Everything was delicious and the service was fast. The Horse Trainers Daughter was reminiscent of a pisco sour very light compliment with the empanadas. We'll be back to try more cocktails soon!

    The Mexican Bonfire
    Stephen L.

    I don't know why this place has mediocre reviews! The drinks are unique, fantastic, and a perfect blend of alcohol and flavor. I had the Mexican Bonfire and the Maverick, and was thoroughly impressed with both of them. My friend ordered Old Fashions that looked quite impressive as well! The price wasn't bad for the drinks (~$17 per for a nice cocktail). The service was fantastic from the bartender, who was easygoing and gave great recommendations on drinks. The ambiance was really pleasant with a nice outdoor patio style seating with nice decor and plants all around. The atmosphere was perfect for a casual conversation with a friend of mine and nothing drowning out our conversation. I will definitely be back again sooner over later and recommend this place to anyone and everyone!

    Bar open till 2 am. Friendly vibe and good music.

    Alex made me the London Essence with Titos Vodka instead of gin and it was awesome. However the empanadas are decent but not great.

    At the moment we do not have any happy hour specials.

    I was just there and it was just me and one other and they auto charged us 20%. I'm not sure why the "owner" said no.

    They didn't let me in with my 1 year old.

    I wanna say I was shocked It's been a few years since I've…read morebeen to this restaurant I used to love it. It was one of my favorite places I went for lunch on a Sunday. I'm a wheelchair user the first issue was they had a bunch of decorations on the ground which meant that they had to shift and move them there was also no clear way for me to get my wheelchair to a bathroom The music and I kid you not was 1980s Elevator Music to the moon and back to New York City, but done with a synthesizer I love the sliders. I always have mine arrived mushy and the bread looked and taste exactly like it would come from the Hawaiian buns that I bought at the store. The Patty tasted almost exactly what I get at Trader Joe's. I was really surprised that used to be my favorite thing. The $12 ginger ale tasted like the ginger ale get at Trader Joe's again I'm very surprised I used to love all When we got our bill, we were charged for our meal and the meal next to us They were kind enough to take $10 off after we had to set the table for a long time waiting for this to be resolved I don't know if they have a different thing going for Sunday, but everything felt very cheap, including coronations on the table. Nothing felt special. The service was kind, but also not solicitous It felt like a massive downgrade from the last time I had been there, and I was very confused from the music to the food levels to the inability to move the wheelchair around. It was just surprising. I would not have bothered to write this if it wasn't so insanely expensive To have an appetizer with $18 my husband's main was 34 the ginger ale well I understand they make it there was $12 for a glass. It just felt like I was paying for an elevated experience that I did not receive. Again, I've have been going there for years. This was just a massive downshift from what I was used to.

The service is always extremely friendly when we're there. When we asked to sit outside but there wasn't a table size that could accommodate us, they rushed over to bring another table and more chairs over so we could sit where we wanted, without us even asking.

The food is also very good. Most recently, we had the ravioli di bufala, the penne bolognese, garlic bread, and the wagyu beef burger, and we all thoroughly enjoyed our meals!

Focaccia was free, and was paired with olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Squid ink pasta was a stand out - noodles were perfectly el dente and the sauce was flavorful and creamy. I was surprised at the amount of bay scallops that were in the dish. Tiramisu ended the meal, decent dessert, I could actually taste the coffee that the lady fingers were soaked in, so it wasn't dry. The mascarpone was a bit hard, like it was just in the fridge but the flavor was still good. Solid modern Italian restaurant, ambience is pretty casual and a lot of customers were ordering wine around us, so it's a nice place to unwind for dinner.

Service was perfectly fine. My main criticism is the lunch menu, or really the lack of one. It feels like they serve essentially the same menu all day, without many of the options you'd expect at lunch: adding grilled meat to a salad, for example, or getting a gyro or souvlaki sandwich. I found that surprisingly limiting, particularly given how good the food is, and it may help explain why the restaurant wasn't busier at lunch. Because of the way the menu is structured, we ended up mostly sharing starters and then splitting one main course, which worked fine but seems like an odd way to have to build a lunch. One nice feature is the outdoor seating. The tables are shaded, and the patio faces an alley rather than the street, which makes it noticeably quieter and more relaxing. Overall, very good food, highlighted by the excellent beef souvlaki and tzatziki. I'd happily return, but I wish they offered a more conventional lunch menu.

    3.5 STARS *UNCE UNCE…read moreUNCE* I haven't been to Burlingame for dinner in a looooong time so upon arriving to Mykonos, I was surprised to find...it was poppin'! Esp when I was able to make last minute rezzies (an hour prior) and they had wide availability. The indoor dining room was packed and about 90% of the ample outdoor seating was filled. The house music was bumpin' and with the purple lighting inside, the whole vibe reminded me of Fluid Lounge in the city (iykyk). Sister resto to Roma Antica, Bottega, 'Napizza, and The Rustic in the city and Capri Lasagneria in Burlingame, Mykonos has been on my list to go to since they opened in 2020. For Burlingame standards, I found the Greek + Med fare with a full bar, to be fairly priced. They do charge a 4% hospitality fee. F O O D * Complimentary Pita Yea, it's commercial but hey, it's free and it's served warm and toasty. * Saghanaki: Pan-fried Kefalotyri Cheese w/ lemon + oregano ($14) Flamed tableside, the saghanaki makes for a great TT/reel with cheese pulls but it was just meh. It was very salty and the cast iron pan wasn't hot so the cheese quickly cooled and hardened. * Octopus w/ Greek-inspired chickpea puree ($19) Sous-vide then finished on the grill, the octopus was tender but could have used more time on the grill for a hotter temp and deeper char. The bed of chickpea puree was dry and gritty. * Lamb Riblets w/ lemon + oregano ($17) A generous portion of meltingly tender lamb riblets (5-6 bones) but I wasn't a fan of the indistinguishable brown sauce it was finished with. * Braised Lamb Shank w/ orzo & myzithra cheese ($34) A hearty comfort dish perfect for sharing, the braised lamb shank was perfectly cooked...so rich, tender, and savory with a pleasant gamey flavor. The accompanying orzo with olives was overly salty. S E R V I C E Awesome hospitality and customer service - our server was so kind, gracious and attentive with the warm manager checking in with every table. Considering how packed they were, our entire order quickly arrived and we were done in 35 minutes. A M B I A N C E Looking for club vibes? Sit indoors. Want a quieter meal with people watching? Sit outside at either the parklet, sidewalk tables, or side patio. Overall, Mykonos knows how to do lamb right! I found the food to be more reliant on salt for my preference, as I enjoy more traditional seasoning with herbs, spices, garlic, lemon, etc. 3.5 stars rounded up for the great service.
