The Barn

Great place to be on a Friday night as they have bands, and it gets VERY packed by 11p. Place looks great inside and plenty of room as well (dance floor, ample seating and back area for more space). They’ve even placed a back deck the past couple of years if you need some fresh air!
Trivia on Weds nights are pretty hardcore, but lots of good people and service is very good for the most part. Still not sure why they have Bud Select and not Bud Light/Budweiser…but plenty of other beer to enjoy.

Apart from the bands that play on Friday and Saturday night, this place is no bueno. One pool table that hasn’t been maintained and the pool sticks are terrible. The ambiance is mediocre (the red lights are annoying). One urinal and the bathroom is always trashed. The manager is one of the most condescending people I have met; she treats customers as if they have a monopoly in the area.

This place is super cool. The events during the week are the best and the atmosphere is great! The drink specials are awesome too. The buffalo chicken dip is to die for but beyond that the food is not all that great to me. The service is great though and the bartenders really get to know people and remember the regulars

Finally made it out to The Barn. Holy bourbon! I was surprised they have Angels Envy. The fillet, Oscar style is out of this world good.

This place is extremely clean and has an upscale atmosphere. It’s always packed on the weekends and the bands every Friday night are excellent. Drink portions are awesome, asked for a double shot of whiskey and I basically got a quadruple shot. Definitely making this my go-​to bar on the weekends!

This is one of my favorite spots and if I didn’t live 40 minutes away I would be there at least a couple times a week. The bands are good and consistent. The food satisfying and there are enough TVs to view sporting events. I come here for dancing mostly but the venue is large enough for groups. A new deck was built for chilling outside and a lodge style fireplace inside.
PS — Full bar with reasonable prices and no cover… need I say more?!

The barn is a great place to grab a bite to eat or a drink. Also Rachel rocks. I highly recommend this place.

For a neighborhood bar I think this is a great place. We’ve been to private parties there and just for drinks after work, always get pretty fast service, cold drinks and good food.

This place is a nicer, more up-​scale bar/​event center inside a housing community’s guest house. Any GPS device will try to take you into the gated housing community and will get you lost!
The décor is really cool, very rustic and really feels like you’re inside a really cool barn converted into a bar. I have always thought the metal horse sculptures out front were neat.
However, I felt like all the bartenders made my drinks really, really weak. But they must have been making other folks’ very strong, as there were possibly the highest concentration of upper-​middle class, middle-​aged, falling-​down-​drunk people I have ever encountered in my life. Some lady was standing on the «stage» haggling the band, and another guy fell off his barstool onto his head. My husband said in the men’s restroom, there was vomit in the urinal. Fancy!
Also, I feel like maybe they could have some lights in their parking lot?

The staff are super friendly & the food is great. Great place to come for a quick drink or bite to eat. Love coming on Wednesdays for trivia… starts at 7:30pm, but you might want to get there a little early to make sure you get good seats. $ 4 You Call It Thursdays are great too — $ 4 drinks are never a bad thing.

Terrible. We arrived there last night at 6pm. A «waitress» took our beverage and food orders. However, after 7pm, the «waitress» never came back to our table. A «bus boy» came to clear our plates and drinks and said the «waitress» was actually one of 3 «bar tenders» and they get busy & can’t wait in us any longer. That wouldn’t have been a problem had the «waitress» told us she was actually the bar tender & once she got busy we had to go to the bar to order drinks. When I went to close my tab, the bat tenders kept my bank card & I didn’t get it back until today. This place has terrible service; bar tenders suck, and the food is questionable. When I went to get my bank card today, the douche bag bar tender was totally unapologetic and could have given a crap about my inconvenience. This place sucks and I will continue to spread the word about how awful it is.

In terms of a beautiful and event unique venue this place is like Etsy and Pinterest had a love child. I have heard that this place is hopping on the weekends and during the summer. I would recommend this place for a rehearsal dinner or wedding reception. This is not your typical stuffy hotel ballroom but a destination with true character.

Love coming here Wednesday for trivia. The service could be a little better. They always seem short staffed.
Good specials and I am a big fan of the Black Bean Taquitos.

Oooooh The Barn. Not really sure where to begin on how to describe this place. I will just say the evening bar experience is superbly better than the weekend pool experience (which isn’t saying much). I only consider going to this bar as I no longer live downtown and sometimes on the weekend I just don’t feel like making the commute/​crashing on a friends couch. Apparently the pool thinks they’re some South Beach or Las Vegas place that warrants chicks wearing full-​on makeup, heels, and oversized jewelry. As Courtney Kerr, from Most Eligible Dallas, explains, chicks should wear flat sandals or flip flops to the pool. A cover up buys you a wedge. But never stilettos. (I paraphrased, but that’s the gist of her pool attire theory). Can’t bring in your own alcohol. Super lame. I don’t live in the apartments, but I live in the vicinity and had to call on a Sunday to have them turn the music down. Sunday is the day of rest (well in my case it was bar exam studying). Not clubbing at a pool no less. They did fulfill my request in a timely manner so I don’t totally hate this place.

The Barn is like that friend with some kinda personality disorder that can change dramatically depending on the day of the week.
I’ve seen many sides of the Barn. Let me talk about a few:
The Friday/​Saturday Barn: I dont like people. Especially douchy people and/​or lots of people. Bands play, bands people like, probably good bands but they are loud and it’s crowded and this is not the place for me.
The Sunday/​Monday Barn: Oh that’s right, the Barn isnt open on Sunday or Monday. Sad panda.
The Tuesday/​Thursday Barn: This is the best its going to get. There is lovely low lighting, its clean, its a super cool authentic barn atmosphere. The music is usally a skosh too loud and a skosh too young but its nothing terrible. Beer is never really cheap but some nights martinis are $ 5 and some nights you pick a drink and it’s $ 4 all night. Not bad. There is a nice big bar area and lots of comfy couches and chairs.
The Wednesday Barn: Wednesday is trivia night. Apps are half price until 7 pm. This is a very good deal. The chicken taquitos are really good as well as the buffalo chicken dip and at around $ 3 each make for a super tasty cheap dinner. Trivia starts at 7:30 and there are usually between 15 – 20 teams playing. The place gets pretty busy and if you want 6 — 7 seats all together you need to get there and stake out a table before 6 pm. This makes for a pretty long night. The trivia is fun but I think it is one of their busier nights and its very difficult to get any service at all, let alone good service. It is one of the more fun and competitive triva games I have been to but its popularity is also its downfall.
Bottom line is I can practically throw a rock at this place from my porch. In other words, being able to walk home or drive home in less than 1 minute is a HUGE plus in my book. I also quite enjoy this place when it is not crowded. All this considered I will definitely be back and therefore it would not be fair to give the Barn less than 4 stars.

I still have mixed emotions about this place. Let me tell you the two sides of the Barn I have witnessed.
The first came when I went to go watch my friend’s band perform their acoustic show. The place was pretty low key, with maybe 40 people total in there. I was having a great time watching them play and catching up with friends.
The second experience was to see another band perform here and it was packed! The drinks were over priced and the crowd was rowdy (a fight every 20 minutes or so).
All in all this place fits how you want it. If you want a packed, hectic night go on a Friday or Saturday. If you want to check out some neat bands, order some grub and chill out in their over-​sized furniture, go on a week night and check their entertainment schedule.
And if you want slow bartenders that don’t smile and over priced drinks, come here anytime.

The Barn is an awesome place to go for drinks and live music on the weekends. It is a lot more low key than the places downtown but has a nice mixture of young professionals and older couples and groups. Good prices on drinks and the staff is always friendly.

Great bar for an apartment/​condo complex. Very «barn authentic» atmosphere with wood walls and floors and large exposed wood beams. They have created several different areas using differing styles of seating. Really helps to separate the room. It even has a fireplace with some couches. They occasionally have bands there which depending on the band can be good or bad. This time around the band was «Lt. Dan’s New Legs» and they were excellent. They got everyone on their feet dancing and having a good time. One complaint is that they only serve Miller Lite on draft (no bud light, coors light, etc.). Not a deal breaker but would be nice to have more options. Service was great for me as they had a roaming waitress and I never had to get up to go get a drink. Would definitely recommend checking it out. Especially if there is a known/​liked band there.

Fun place to go occasionally. We saw Lt. Dan’s New Legs here the other night. It’s a cool atmosphere and good place to see bands.
