Didn’t let me in… I’m 22 with an authentic Nevada ID. Got confronted at the entrance by a bouncer who appeared to be incoherently drunk, and told it’s the worst fake ID they have ever seen. I’ve never experienced this before

I’ve generally had mixed reviews for this place, but I can’t forget the evening I had with them last night. It was getting late, I had made great connections with Adrian and Chelsea. One of the bartenders who was off the clock ended up getting very aggressive with me and trying to show off for his friend by threatening me and trying to put me in my place. I was very uncomfortable, frankly, I had done nothing but sit and enjoy my time at the bar when he ended up threatening my time and space there. When I was trying to remedy the situation, one of the older bartenders started saying ‘if that’s how he feels, that’s how he feels’ and it started becoming a group effort at that point. To some degree, it becomes an issue with the clientele, at another point it becomes an even greater issue when the staff on call start to get involved. I had already resolved some prior discrepancies from a previous visit I had, and again I found Chelsea and Adrian to be fantastic and receptive towards customers wants and needs. Unfortunately, I do not find that same theme radiating throughout the staff, and felt attacked and diminished by those that are entrusted to serve, both on and off the clock. I had felt that once again I was an object of scrutiny, as opposed to a wellbeing customer in a safe space. I would like the opportunity to enjoy my time, free of issues, but I’m unsure I’ll be able to find it here. As a graduate student at SMU, I fail to see this establishment as a safe place for students of differing ideas and perspectives from the normal crowd, and would appreciate if the staff could generally sponsor open-mindedness, kindness, and generosity on and off the clock. This need not be the case towards patrons that are there simply to have a good time and unwind, but for the staff to get involved in customer disputes and sponsoring one over the other is beyond what I would consider fostering a vibe of open-mindedness and good faith.

I have done many events here and I love coming here! The staff is always super friendly and helpful! Bartenders Chris and Phil were awesome! This last time I came, I got to meet Blue Jean, the most beautiful boy ever! Love that this place is dog friendly and cannot wait to come back as a customer!

Had a fantastic lunch at Barley House! The soup and salad were delicious, and the atmosphere was perfect for a relaxing afternoon. Huge shoutout to Kimi, the bartender, who provided excellent service! Highly recommend this place.

The nachos were 6 chips. I paid 11.50 for a nacho appetizer and received 6 chips. ABSURD

Not friendly at all. Was told to move by a bartender as my friends and I are tourists. Not a good setting.

Spent 6 years going to this home style bar.many great times, and always on top with service, food and drinks. no matter the day or event!But good memories always come to an end as I was Double charged due to a server error. worst part was the server tried to fix it but then charged me for the wrong bill.Chelsea stated she get things fixed and refunded but has since given me no return call or refund account! not even business credit as I was a long time customer.

Great place for live bands. Awesome pizza and good drinks.
this place needs to fire their bouncer immediately. He cursed at us multiple times saying our ID's were fake and tried to kick us out when all of us are 23+. Saying "these are the fakest fucking ID's I've ever seen" and "I know how ID's are supposed to fucking look I don't need you to fucking tell me". If you don't know how to check a real ID then you shouldn't be a bouncer. I have never had an issue with my Texas ID and he was acting belligerent when checking ours. He was so incredibly rude it was baffling how he even landed a job.

Charging 50c for a tiny little side cup of ranch dressing to go with something fried, just leaves a bad taste... This is just not done in Texas.I was starting to come here on a regular basis after work, but maybe I need to find somewhere else after this.

Great bar with cool paraphernalia on the walls. Reasonable drink prices with decent food and live music.

Barley is amazing. I go several nights a week, the bartenders and staff are absolutely incredible people. It's my go to chill bar vibe, and they will have live bands and trivia some nights. Drinks are good, and not too expensive. The pink frozen drink is awesome. They also have the BEST mozzarella sticks in dallas, I get them almost every time I go they are just so delicious. Also they have a fire steak quesadilla. Highly recommend!
