For…read morestarters early in the evening there was two small dogs running around in the bar and even in people's laps up at the bar like it was no big deal. Also at this time it was fairly slow I stood waiting to purchase my drink only one on that side of the bar and bartender walked past numerous times with out taking order which would not be a big deal if it were packed or numerous people waiting to be served but this was not the case at all. We also sat at a table off the side off the bar were we sat and drank and socialized, now generally after finishing a round of drinks I take empties up as get new drinks with the occasional lapse so there are a few empties on table bartender would come grab them before had the chance to bring them to the bar myself in doing so she would complain to patrons of the bar who were sitting at the bar about it which we could over hear and get the disapproving stare from said patrons and bartender. Lastly and the end of the evening there was few of us there still bartender announced last call at which point we got our money out to get our last drink of the evening but rather than serving us she began cashing out drawer counting tips and beginning to turn off lights so we did not purchase a final drink and departed the establishment. Very unfriendly and unwelcoming and we weren't even out of towers just not regulars to the establishment.

Pros: + in terms of a bar and grill style restaurants the food quality is really good. They definately embrae southwest flavor very well. Of all the food items I've had, I had not been disappointed. + Great ambience. A large venue, clean, and they have slots here. Even the mens room is well kept. Over the last two years they have taken great care of the place. A very large outdoor seating area and music stage suggests this place can hop on the weekends. + decent amount of parking. Despite lacking a private lot, the fact its on a corner makes up for most of it. + staff was very attentive. Not a lot of screwing around with them. + you can tell the locals and regulars love this place overall. Rightfully so Cons: - I really had to dig for true cons here. Don't underestimate food portions here. Most will be stuffed by departure. - Ummm.... yeah I don't do well with tall bar seating. With the exception of the outside.... most seating is tall. Can be a challenge for those with disability. And yes that front door was a pain to open :) Bottom line: Whiskey Barrel Saloon does better at the bar and grill thing than most in my own local scene. Food quality is high, place is clean, staff disciplined. What more can one ask for? Definately would be a regular if local. Mad Respect to Frankie for getting that door for me.

Parking is on-street parking on 2 sides of the rather large building. There is one handicap parking…read morespot with half the parking spots having a large step to get from the street to the sidewalk. The building has no steps to enter the building, but you may need help opening the door if using an assistive device. The building was very clean and had many seating options with a large bar in the center and an outdoor area for when the weather is fitting. They have multiple tv's placed all around the building some showing sports others playing music videos. The music playing was a little loud to chat over the lunch hour however it is a bar. The server was friendly and even though she appeared to be stretched pretty thin she tried very hard to keep up. The menu is varied with many options including but not limited to sandwiches, burritos, appetizers, and many flavors of wings. The food we ordered was all very good and served hot and fresh in a timely manner. We ordered a couple of different flavors of wings which were saucy so it might have been a good thing had they provided wetnaps of some type. The chimichanga was so large I was unable to eat it all. The pulled pork sandwich was a large portion and came with a side. The onion rings were also a hit with all who tried them. The prices were good and it was easy to pay using the QR code on the receipt which I appreciated.
