Barley John's Brew Pub - New Brighton

Friendly staff, good eating and good beer in a relaxing environment! the rider was really good as the steak and pfeffersandwich I got.

Barley John's isn't the best brewery, but their beer is good enough. $3 happy hour flagship beers keep me coming, as well as the friendliness of its customers and bartenders. It's a great place to experience the local culture in the northeast metro.

I can't express enough how much I adore this place. They were pioneers of the brewery movement in Minnesota and continue to offer some of the best food and beer in the area—definitely the best in their category. The ambiance is cozy, and the terrace is fantastic. Make sure to visit and show your support! There are plenty of vegetarian options available, and parking is ample.

Although it's a bit challenging to get to, this cozy little spot is perfect for enjoying drinks and meals with friends. During the warmer months, I highly recommend spending time on their terrace.

We get there and there 's only 2 people working front of house, which took them at least 15 minutes to get us drinks, despite there only being 2 or 3 other tables. The salads were good. I ordered the spicy chipotle chicken pizza and after a long time we received our food. The pizza was inedibly spicy. I have a slightly above average spice tolerance but this was ridiculous. They take it back and I get a burger instead. I walk in to go to the dingy little bathroom and I hear the manager talking to a bar patron about how it says spicy right on the menu, and therefore I should 've known. When it says chipotle that kind of sets an expectation of how hot it 's going to be, which shouldn 't be very hot for me compared to something like a habanero hot sauce. Nobody at the table could eat it. They refused to comp the $19 pizza and after some complaining they took 50% off the pizza and I got a burger that was mediocre at best. Not a very good way to treat paying customers who racked up large bill. Maybe one of the worst restaurant experiences I 've had in a long time.
