There were only three of us and the staff wait service was not great.

Upon receiving my bill a 20% gratuity was already tacked on. My wife and I celebrated our anniversary at Barley Swine last night. The course consists of roughly 9 bite-sized courses that lasts roughly 2.5 hours. You can however upgrade to enjoy the whole tasting menu. I made a reservation through RESY. I needed to use capital letters to convey my enthusiasm for this place because I am obsessed.

I brought in a small group to experience the tasting menu.

One of my favorites, hands down!I came here a few months ago and I have to say dining here is one of the most memorable meals I've had the chance to experience.

I've lived in 4 different countries and been blessed with dining at top restaurants my in travels. I won't exaggerate and say every dish was perfect, but…

I noticed they require a credit card.I don't remember exactly but if you cancel less than a day or don't show they will charge you a large fee as they prep the food ahead knowing you are coming.

Hard to believe. During a recent stay in Austin, this restaurant was recommended by a friend. It was 6:30pm.

Among the four of us, the bill was just over $100 (not including tip) and we left stuffed - definitely not what I was expecting for a place rated $$$ on yelp!

Coming with a small group of friends seemed like the perfect way to enjoy the restaurant.

The pork belly sandwich has different components to it and assembled together is perfection.…”“Pourhouse is great!

If you are enjoying…Hi does anyone know what the reservation cancellation policy is? It was not easy to find anything other than a five star review, and now I…”If the business you're looking for isn't here, add it! Made a reservation for a group of 4 on a Friday night.Went to Barley Swine last night for our first experience dining in Austin. Came here for dinner and I honestly wasn't sure what to expect, but I ended up loving everything we ordered!Barley Swine was just a really fun experience. And don't…
After Bourdain's praises on his show for Barley Swine, there was no way I was going to pass through town, without giving it a try.

Even during COVID-19, the staff was warm and welcoming. We knew we had seen one while going to…""My boyfriend and I decided to try this place out on a whim for one of our date nights. They have lots of different seasonal ones, but their classics are good…”“I've gone a few times for curbside delivery since the virus and everything seem safe and still just as delicious as ever. But one of the wines during the pairing ran out so I wasn't given a full tasting pour.

I know it's a bold claim . What is the gratuity policy at Barley Swine?

The Barley Swine sign is kinda small compares to the other stores next to it so I actually drove past it the first time. The quail was out of this world delicious, bursting with flavor, served moist and beautifully presented. The food is fantastic.

Share. The tasting menu was good but not great. I moved to SF about four years ago and haven't been back throughout those years. It was our very first date and we go back at least on our anniversary. It is definitely a restaurant to visit when you want to celebrate a special occasion or jut to splurge on yourself (because you deserve it). The parking is horrible and the food some dishes you could do without. Our reservation was for 7:45 but we heard there was happy hour so we were able to sit outside and order a bottle of red wine for half the price!

I won't exaggerate and say every dish was perfect, but of the savory dishes, 4 were out of this world and 2 were really good.Get here now.

We are confident our staff is providing excellent service to all guests and taking extra measures to keep everyone safe.

The craft cocktails are always delightful ... the bartenders are talented.


We went yesterday which was the first time since COVID. Had a reservation, but opted for the bar since I was by myself.
