While most of Europe is pretty cheap to go out for a drink, Switzerland is pretty comparable with North America for the price of a beer. They had awesome local Biel beer on tap. When I tried to order in very poor German, the girl was accommodating in switching to English, but I have to admit I did want to practice my German ;). The place has a cool vibe, the art on the wall talks about no wifi, talk. Funky and cool sayings in different languages -- Biel is French and (Swiss) German after all. Awesome place.

Since we've…read morebeen in Switzerland, we've consumed more fondue and raclette than you can imagine, and we were craving some good ole burgers. Barrel Oak delivered! Our group ordered burgers, the fish and chips, and pork belly tacos. All of the dishes were absolutely delicious. If we're to visit again, we'd order the sauce on the side for the tacos, but otherwise would reorder the same dishes with glee. I wish we took pics, but everything was devoured too quickly. Everything that came out of the kitchen looked just like the pics online. Service was great, ambiance was cozy, views were spectacular.

The entire time from when we got our food to finished there were flies landing around us, on us, and on our food when we weren't quick enough to swat them away. The staff is lovely but this needs to be looked after. I would suggest maybe 4-5 fly traps around the place. We had to cover our plates with napkins because there were too many. The restaurant itself has a cool tavern vibe!
