History

Established in 2006.

After the now current owner, Rusty, worked for the previous owner, Dave & Jerry’s Bar & Grill, he decided it was time to try his hand at owning a place of his own. With the help of friends and family… The Rusty Barrel was born in 2006 and after all these years… it’s still going strong. The great Westlake area people are what make the atmosphere as friendly as it is.

Good service. Great wings. And definitely one of the better, if not best, beer selection in tiny little suburbia Westlake… Though that could be a bias because they always have my favorite (left hand milk stout nitro). The parking lot can feel a little crowded and it can be awkward to get in and out of but just be careful and very wary of crossing traffic.

I have been here a few times and the food was good and reasonably priced. However, both times the place had an odd smell to it. Almost smells like a mix between sewage and urinals. I wont ever go back unless they get the odor under control…

Oh my god it smells like sewage there. The owner is standing at the bar like the patron’s should accept his fowel version of under performing as an owner. Get a clue. This is a reoccurring problem that he doesn’t seem to want to invest the money for
a solution. I feel sorry for this guy.

My first visit was an informal sales lunch. Since then I have been there twice. All three times I have to say I really enjoyed the food, atmosphere, and the staff.
Although the menu is really bar food they do it very well. I have sampled three different wing flavors and all were great. The Cajun BBQ so far is my favorite. Very good burgers and wraps also. Not a fancy place just a really nice neighborhood bar with great food and reasonable prices…

A neighborhood bar with decent food and several big screen TVs. The wings were above average, but not life changing as some of the reviews would lead you to believe. They only had 5 beers on tap, which I thought was sort of odd. I found the service to be super friendly. One of the regulars told me that the onion rings were top-​notch, so I’ll probably make a return visit when back in the area.

Had heard rumors that this is the place for wings on the West side… it did not disappoint!
My daughter and I gave this spot a try for a recent dinner outing. We started by sharing a side salad with their (house) zinfandel vinaigrette dressing which was tangy and very tasty (great size to split).
As a side dish we ordered their onion rings which were plump and served with barrel sauce (like the sauce from an Outback bloomin’ onion)…they were crispy and delicious. Glad our waitress insisted we try the sauce!
We tried two different wing flavors…“hot” and garlic parmesan. The hot wings were crispy and not overly sauced (maybe could have used a bit more sauce) and they had a distinct vinegar flavor nut definitely in the traditional Buffalo style. The garlic parmesan wings were also crispy and on the drier side, but the flavor was pungent with a light garlic accent.
Good value for the price, will definitely go back!

The rusty barrel is a well run establishments. The staff works hard, but they are always smiling, the interior is clean and cared for. The staff works together, helps each other, supports each other.
The food was hot and flavorful. My wife and i had perch and A.Y.C.E. fish fry. Not «Haunt Cuisine» but a good honest meal and a good price. very tasty.
Karen is an excellent server; Gracious and attentive. We ask for her each time we visit. We will come back again and agian

Ordered takeout — 4 types of wings (Cajun bbq, hot garlic, teriyaki and six pepper garlic) were all excellent. They were cooked very well and they were all of decent size.
The hot sauce has a little kick but isn’t hard to handle. We will be back.

Great Tacos on Tuesday, 80 different beers and a friendly staff. It’s not the Ritz but it is good food and easy atmosphere.

First time visitor. Def a locals hangout but it was fun. Food was good. I got a salad and my husband ordered three different types of wings — they were awesome! Beer selection is above average but I wish they had more on draft. Probably 50 different bottle beers. Will be back!

First time here and we were immediately greeted & seated which was nice. Looks like the locals dine in on the daily. We ordered their spicy garlic dry rub chicken wings and boy was it good. The beer selection was great too. Great place to dine in with t.v.s in every booth. Nice for when the game is on! Will be returning again since we were given a rusty barrel points card! Whooo hoo!!!

Love this place!!! Food is very good at a fair price. Beer is great!!! All of the waitresses are very sweet as well. The only thing I would say negative about it is that I wish it was bigger! Everyone seems to enjoy this place so it is always packed! Worth it though! Will definitely be back. One of our favorite places!

The flagship wings are worth the hype. Westlaker hot dog is different and very good. People seem very friendly here. TVs are little run of the mill and hard to see in spots so not my ideal venue for an important game, but not a bad option at all with Dover Gardens, Panini’s, and Winking Lizard all gone.

This place has my favorite wings in Cleveland. You have to go with the Grilled Cajun Barbecue. Dining area is small but they offer carry out also.

The Cajun BBQ wings are some of the beat I’ve ever had. If they had a bigger bourbon selection (read: Woodford’s) I’d give them 5 stars.

Totally sucked. Will never go back. Burgers were horrible… overpriced. And for one of the best wings in NEO… I couldn’t tell. :(
