Food was the same as I remembered it over 4 years ago, actually a bit better!! Service was prompt until it got a bit busy. Atmosphere has been updated since I was here just over 4 years ago & updated (lighting) looks good. I recommend & will be back! Heads up on busier nights, make a reservation ;) your welcome

Just popped in for a quick snack and a couple drinks. It’s not easy to find a decent Caesar but this place does it right. Alllll the fixin’s. Wings were fresh, hot, crispy and well coated in a tasty buffalo sauce. Great amount of ranch for dipping which is rare nowadays. Service was quick, the space was dimly lit which I personally love. We were in and out with 2 drinks and food in our bellies within less than an hour.

Thank You Barley Mill! I ordered a steak dinner through Skip to be delivered to my mom in the hospital. She loved it! Made her whole day! Well done!! Always loved barley mill even 20+ years ago!

Pleasantly surprised as I wasn't sure what to expect. Place was busy for lunch. Food was delicious and big portions. Our server was friendly, patient and gave us extra time needed to review the menu. Lots to try again and again. Nice patio for warmer weather too.

A great place to grab a quick lunch! Food comes out quick and hot. Can never go wrong with the chicken tenders and fries. The beer battered fries with gravy is delicious and big rave to their dill dip!

We love nachos & tequila & we’re not disappointed! The nacho chips are made in house & the nachos have a generous amount of toppings. We also have a favourite drink : tequila, water with a splash of sweet & sour but sweet & sour is not readily found in Canada so we always order it with a splash of bar lime. Well, their bar lime is very similar tasting to sweet & sour so we were very happy 😊👍🏼

I’ll start off by saying that I was a bit disappointed that on a midsummer Friday evening around 9pm, I was repeatedly told by other venues that their kitchen was either closed, or the menu was limited to a handful of options, none-of-which I felt like after a long day in the Okanagan sun. Fast forward to the Barley Mill Brew Pub. Not only was their kitchen open, but the food was bangin, B! Had the halibut burger with salad and buffalo chicken wings with blue cheese dip. The kitchen nailed it! Karaoke was in full swing, the Guinness pints were flowing and the service from the bartender was outstanding. This place is a vibe on a Friday night. Check them out. Unfortunately, this is the only photo I managed to take.

I had a family dinner here last night. Nice atmosphere for family and friends ideal for dinner and hangouts. We ordered 20oz draft lager ($8.75), Calamari ($18), Dry Ribs ($17), Pulled Pork Sandy ($19.50), and Rose Alfredo Pasta ($19). We meant to say we ordered Baby Back Ribs as waitress misheard it as Dry Ribs. We missed the timing to correct out order. Everything was pretty good except Dry Ribs. Calamari was crispy and flavourful. Dry Ribs didn t stand out as much. It was just dry ribs with salty and peppery flavour in a small portion. Pulled Pork Sandwich was fantastic with plentiful of fries. Sandwich was nicely made with coleslaw. Meat stuffing was delicious as well. Rose Pasta was mouthwateringly tasty. Garlic bread was so good even with Rose pasta sauce. Staff were nice and friendly. Barley Mills was a great place for our dinner last night. There was a pool table by the washroom if any customers want to play pool with friends after work. It was quite a memorable dining experience. Food was two thumbs worthy. I would love to dine here again with my family.

Me & my family took a trip to Penticton for the weekend this past weekend. We googled where to eat & came across the Barley Mill Pub. We got there & they were super busy as it was fathers day. We did not know we needed reservations but they found room for us anyway which was great. The service couldve been a little better as they seemed more concerned with the drinkers than the people there just to eat. We seen our waitress twice. Once when ordering & once when we were done & ready to pay. The staff were super friendly tho. But the food...INCREDIBLE. I honestly cant think of the last time Ive had a meal that good at a restaurant. We were all extremely impressed with the food. I would highly recommend this place if youre ever in Penticton & we will happily eat here again next time were in town. Kid-friendliness: They have a family friendly section.

The food was magnificent and it was a great night for sitting out on their large patio. The batter on my fish and chips was crisp and light, and fantastic!!!! There was alot of beef on my boyfriends beef dip and it was really tasty!! We have definitely added the Barley Mill Brew Pub to our list of restaurants to eat at when we come back in Sept. It is now May/24 and we come to this pub EVERY time we come to Penticton, which is fairly often. The fish & chips and beef dip are still among our favourites! We also love the Baileys cheesecake!!! We have never been disappointed with anything here.

The manager was exceptionally rude. Apparently a table was reserved although there was no reserved sign. After sitting down the manager rudely snarled that no one could sit there as it was reserved. It would have been so easy to say Im sorry but this table is reserved so please let me help you to another table. But apparently being rude to seniors is more his cup of tea.

We had a good time at Barley Mill. The atmosphere was nice with live music. We shared hot wings, my husband had quesadillas with pulled pork and I had the pulled pork sandwich. It was all delicious. They drink menu isn t great though, very little selection of beer for a pub. The food is kind of pricey too, but overall it was a good experience.

Upgraded to the brew fries and they were not crispy at all and did not seem battered, theyre like regular fries which was very disappointing. The power bowl was healthy and okay, but way too much spinach. The waitress was very friendly and chatty with other tables who were clearly regulars at this place, but she barely spoke to us other than taking our order. We just stopped for dinner while on vacation here. The burger is apparently #1 in the Okanagan but it did not live up to this at all. Everything was OK, not terrible, not amazing. Its nice that they have lots of gluten free options.

Just came from this brew pub. Shocked to find that customers with children are segregated from adults. The family area is in an austere soulless upstairs area . Bit like an empty church. The drinks were average. This was like BC in the 1960s. We live on the BC coast and frequently visit pubs to eat and drink Never a problem. Staff said it was about the liquor licence. Likely more about the thinking of the owner judging by the signage and attitude of the staff. The worst experience ever.

December 22, 2023

We went there on Tuesday evening for dinner with friends from the west coast. We go there for years with friends for the Wednesday wing special and other days. Tuesday we found a table outside in the shade. The waitress asked us to move because we where sitting with 4 people on a six chair table. She went inside and came back with a reservation card. There were more bigger tables available and we saw 2 people sitting on a 6 chair table. We talked to the manager but nothing was done. We left and dont go back for a while. Normally good service and the food is great.

Food was good. Service was good. Server was just a bit slow bringing us the machine to pay, and Ive definitely had faster drink service. But it wasnt slow by any means. I will say their classic lager was very good. Extremely smooth and easy drinking, a bit more mellow than your typical lager. The fries and onion rings on the French Dip were excellent. French dip was okay. The au jus didnt seem to have that much flavour. The meat just tasted like lunch meat roast beef, which wasnt the worst but doesnt exude quality either. Aside from that, I love the building and the aesthetic. They have a pool table! Which is nice. Definitely a gem in Penticton. Will be coming back to try the best burger in the Okanagan . Would 100% recommend this place to anybody.

Some friends and I came for Karaoke this past Wednesday and our server Melissa was just lovely! She was funny and kind and was on top of things all night. The angus burger was THE best burger I have had in well maybe ever. Not even kidding. Juicy (yet not too much so) and dressed up perfectly with spices that complimented so well. Mmmm The karaoke was a lot of fun also, The unassuming host opened things up with a big booming rapid fire kinda radio announcer voice. So fun! And he was even and fair with his rotation of singers I love the vibe here and will for sure visit again when I come back to the Okanagan. Thanks Barley Mill!

Went for a date night with my wife, food was great! bartender (Andrew???) was amazing, honestly made us laugh and enjoy the experience ten fold, and only reason we will come back..reason for that is we witnessed the clearly intoxicated owner belittle his staff and his arrogance was disgusting, and to top it off he got in his truck while visibly drunk we over herd him speaking to staff and it was disgusting.. surprising anyone works for him at all we later learned that this is well known through town.. if it weren t for the wonderful staff we would never come back.. but besides that everything was great!

I came out from Kelowna with my sister and to have a fun night at karaoke for my birthday. Even though we are pretty picky with food, this place nailed everything. My sister and I shared the clubhouse and the chicken cranberry flatbread and both were so incredibly good. The atmosphere and the people and the karaoke were all amazing. My only negative would be about the service. He was nice but was very fast when speaking to us, almost brushing us off. Even my one friend tried to order a drink twice and he would leave so fast he wouldnt even hear my friend try to order his drink. And then when I ordered another drink he forgot for a very long time and I had to remind him and I still watched him go around and do everything else for a while before finally bringing it to me. And it was just a shot. However it was also pretty busy and he did seem like they had him running around so i understand forgetting the drink for so long... I just think business shouldnt affect taking a second and paying attention to your customers when they are asking for things instead of brushing them off in a hurry.

Came in for dinner at 7:40. They dont close till 12pm but the servers certainly make it clear that they want to close much sooner. 3 servers saw us enter and did not approach us to find us seating. We were confused so we went upstairs and waited to be seated. Once it was obvious no one was coming to seat us we went back downstairs where we were rudely greeted once we approached the servers on the other side of the restaurant as they were not coming to greet us. The food was decent. Service can use improvemt.

Sat out on the patio with a big group, received very good service.

It was ok...... the wing deal on Wednesday isnt so much a deal, for example Hwy 97 Brewery is 9 bucks for 10 nice sized wings everyday plus a side of veg and dip (Barley Mill is just wings). Pretty much every other restaurant in Penticton has a better wing night (bang for your buck). Beer selection was sad..... My son enjoyed his burger with a side poutine so that was well and fine but for the price I am glad he did, because this review would have ended much worse.

Usually love this place but..... Tonight I had family from Vienna in town. Table for 7. Everyone got their food except me. Waitress apologized and told me it was coming up soon. It never did. I watched my family finish eating I approached the waitress to ask about my meal. She apologized and asked me if I wanted it to go.... for free. I reluctantly agreed. Got my meal but it was not what i ordered. I got fish and chips.....I originally ordered a chicken burger with beer battered fries. I accepted it anyway because my family wanted to leave and I was starving. Next time I have a group of family in town I will not be taking them to the Barley Mill .

First time visiting. Staff were very welcoming and friendly. Drew, the bartender was rad. He provided Quality service as well as being attentive to everyone else. Food wise. I can make a damn good French dip myself so I asked if I could buy one and take it home , deconstructed.. they said yes... And oh my lanta was it delicious. The jus , the tender roast beef. The red pepper aioli. 10/10 would recommend Overall great first experience.

Great Burger, great fries cool atmosphere & great service. Butttt.... With a heavy heart I am updating this review based on tonights experience. Be sure to really check your bill, tonight we found an 18% service charge on the bottom of our bill plus the 20% tip at the machine compounds on top of the service charge. I love this place but that just seems dishonest.

Stopped in for a beer and a bite while on holidays. Prices are a tad high for what you get, but everything is going up. Aimee did a great job serving us. 15.00 for Potatoe skins and 16.50 for rib bites is a bit overpriced IMHO. However, drink prices are reasonable. Yes we will return next year.

There food is really tasty, not bland or overdone at all. LOTS of flavours and perfectly complete all around. It does cost money, but the atmosphere of the old Tudor restaurant and the waiting staff on top of amazingly scrumptious foods and beer make me want to come back for sure and I definitely will...maybe tomorrow night

Went here because I have eaten here before and it was pretty good. This time, the fries tasted moldy, thought it was just me so tried eating a couple more and the taste was really strong so I asked the other person dining with me to try one and they tried it and spit it out as well. At the point, I was scared to eat my food so I forgoed the second half of my sandwich and all the fries, I already ate the first half of my sandwich before trying the fries. Server seemed disinterested she did give a 20% off but it took her forever to even come to my table to check on us so I just sat there watching my friend eat while my stomach turned. Side note the fries were also cold and not crispy kinda stale but I didnt really care the moldy thing is what really got me. Im not sure what happened because Ive eaten here before and I really enjoyed it. I dont think I will eat here again. I think I would have been more understanding if a solution was provided but she just kinda said okay and took my plate away.

Went to the Barley mill last friday and had an awful experience. My friend ordered a round of shots and when i got my bill i noticed the shot was on my bill and a pop, I Did Not Order a Shot or a pop, I told the server my bill was wrong and all she said to me was You Drank It over and over again. Correct me if i am wrong but to my knowledge whoever ordered shots or a drink from the server is the person who pays for it ? I Was Gutted and it ruined our night, i havent slept right since. I Will Never Go There Again !

Drinks were forgotten countless times and there were items on my bill that were not mine, plus wait times were very long. To top it off there were items on my bill that were not mine! Save your money and go elsewhere!

Dec. 10/22 - Saturday night, karaoke. Not too busy from 8 pm to 10 pm. Our server was initially friendly, but her weariness got the best of her. After being treated like a hassle in her day, we did as little as possible with her. Consequently, we decided against any food. Environment is otherwise comfortably designed. Great place to meet folks for one drink. Perhaps we will try again on a different night, when the friendly waitress isnt on duty.

Called to order take out as I am immune compromised. And I was told I can not call In to order food I had to come in and order a drink then order food and wait for it. I have been supporting this establishment since the 80s my mom was one of the first Staff when they opened. This is very disappointing and I will not support a business like this
