Board & Barrel

Great food and great beer selection. I also enjoyed the atmosphere. The night we visited there was an artist performing acoustic songs which I really enjoyed. Also, it wasn't too loud which meant I could still catch up with friends. I would definitely come here again.

Board & Barrel is a trendy spot in downtown Naperville that is known for its craft beer selection and live country and folk music. There is a reason it is not known for its food. If you are looking for great food then you would be better served to look elsewhere. Similarly, if you are coming on a weekend evening be prepared for a wait and for service to be less than stellar. If you do decide to eat there, be prepared to pay above average prices for frozen and mass produced food. Overall, eat elsewhere and come to Board & Barrel for the atmosphere, music, and drinks.

Stopped by for dinner last night. I had heard good things bad we decided to check it out. Love a really good beer selection as well as other liquors and wine. the food selection is pretty good some typical bar food and some definitely not typical. Both my wife and I found several items we'd like. Our order came right away and the food was great.

They appear to have live music many nights and last night it was great!

Definitely going back!

Great Open Mic starting at 8 p.m. until midnight or Beyond. great drink prices for the Naperville area. Great place to go to relax

Update: A sign of a we'll run establishment are fast response times on reviews! I'm looking forward to next Tuesday as I expect that Tuesday nights will become quite popular very soon!

I love this place because it has so many varieties of cider! I have been looking for a cider bar that was close to home (closer than the city) for quite some time with no luck---until now. Me and my husband went on a Saturday night. The live music was awesome, the energy was high and the staff were very friendly and accommodating--and funny! The only reason I gave four stars instead of five was because we found the food a bit bland. I had the Nashville Spicy Chicken and Belgian Waffle sandwich and my husband had the Montana burger. Neither plates were bad, just a bit boring. the Spicy chicken sandwich could have used a little more maple syrup or some other kind of sauce, I found it was very dry and there was only a very small dollop of maple syrup under the sandwich. The fries could also possibly use some kind of seasoning, they were also very dry and plain. On the other hand, we had the cheese curds, and those were really good! They came with two different types of sauces to dip them in which were both very good, I would recommend getting the cheese curds : ). Overall, great experience and I would recommend trying this place out!
