Barrel House Tavern

Amazing views overlooking the city! Beautiful interior and lovely little decking area outside. The staff were super friendly, welcoming and well-humoured. They were all very accommodating to our group of 6 and we really enjoyed our visit! Food, wine and cocktails were amazing - maybe slightly on the pricier side for food but the quality was worth every cent! Would highly recommend if you’re visiting Sausalito.

The food was delicious, and the atmosphere was fantastic, especially on the outside deck overlooking the water. The service was lacking. We always had to grab the attention of our server. We had cocktails, appetizers, and then shared a burger and fries. After our drinks were served, we waited a reasonable amount of time, and our server never returned. We had to flag him down to order the appetizers. We finished our drinks and appetizers without seeing our server. We had to flag him down again to ask for more cocktails and place our food order. Our food and drinks were served, and we never saw our server again. We finally grabbed a different server's attention, and she did a great job. She got us more drinks and removed our dishes. She did come back and check on us while we finished our drinks and brought us the bill at the end. Our lunch bill, without the tip, was $130, and I think that warrants better service. We left a 12% tip, and on the way out, we hunted down the second server to personally hand her $15 cash.

The Barrel House Tavern offers a dining experience that seamlessly combines stunning views of the bay with a relaxed, inviting ambiance. During our lunch visit, the service was prompt and professional, setting a welcoming tone for the meal. We began with the Blackberry Smash, a refreshing and well-balanced cocktail. For starters, we shared three appetizers: the crisp and flavorful Gem Caesar Salad, the perfectly seared Dungeness Crab Cakes, and the bold, savory Korean-style BBQ Chicken Wings. Each dish was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented. For our main course, we chose the Wild Pacific Salmon, served atop a bed of delicate couscous. The salmon was expertly cooked, complementing the dish's light and flavorful profile. Every bite was delightful, and the attentive service enhanced the overall experience. We look forward to returning for another memorable meal.

We stopped at the Barrel House Tavern during a Muir Woods/Sausalito Tour. We had limited time (about 45 minutes) and weren’t sure if we should eat lunch there. The hostess and server assured us that we had plenty of time. We ordered the Cheesy Garlic Bread, Wild Mushroom Ravioli and the Grilled Pacific King Salmon. The food was excellent, the view was magnificent, and the service was great. We were able to eat and enjoy the view with time to spare.

Barrel House is a great post-hike stop in Sausalito. Enjoy bay views and delicious food like their signature crab dish, vegetarian flatbread, and vegan burger. Their soup is the perfect way to warm up after a hike.

Fantastic food, went for lunch, were we sat on the decking overlooking the bay. Totally wonderful. I had beef brisket. Tender and plenty of it. Partner had clan chowder, who enjoyed it. Our waiter was very attentive, if a little over smoochy.

Great atmosphere and even better food. We stopped in about 7:30 and easily got a spot. The staff is friendly and efficient which made it a fantastic experience. We had the Chilean Sea Bass and the ribs, and both were delicious. If you’re in Sausalito, give them a try!

It's our second time driving the 3 hrs to get here. I know we will be making another trip here. Great food Great drinks and some beautiful views.
