So bomb!!! No matter what, try the Brussels sprouts. Best ever!Parking: If the lot in front is full, park in Safeway parking lot across street or behind it is another parking lot for downtown shopping…you’ll find parking.Kid-friendliness: They have great Mac and cheese for kids and it’s loud, so it’s they can be loud.Wheelchair accessibility: Wide open ramp/doors

Great food. Fish tacos were delicious and they had an option to wrap them in lettuce instead of a tortilla (no corn and low carb=yummy). Truffle fries and TB spiced fries were also delicious. I'm not a drinker so I couldn't comment on the beer, but my buddies sure enjoyed it! Staff were attentive and friendly. Great spot.

We often stop by at this terrific Taphouse; they have dozens and dozens of brews on tap. It will take you many visits to find your absolute favorite. Their food choices are very good and being pooch friendly is definitely a plus for us.

The best beer selection in Grass Valley, something like 30 taps more or less. Good food, the menu changes from time to time, excellent vibe.

Loved the Thirsty Barrel! Highly recommend the truffle fries. They were seasonsed just right. Loved that they had vegan options as well, rare for a brewery! Our dog really loved the doggy patty too!!The wait time was long, but it was a Saturday night and we had a pup so we needed the patio. They could definitely fit more tables out there, in my opinion. That being said, they set us up at a makeshift bar spot because we had a long drive home, which was very nice of them!

I love the food at Thirsty Barrel. They always have specials and occasionally change out their menu, but my favorites are the loaded brussel sprouts (honestly the only brussel sprouts I enjoy lol) and the tacos a la carte. The truffle fries are also a great side. This place is dog friendly and the staff are great. Sometimes getting your food takes a while if they're really busy, but otherwise it's one of the best places to get food downtown.
