Barrel House offers a unique farm to table experience in downtown Sausalito which celebrates local seasonal ingredients and sustainability in a beautiful setting.

Barrel House focuses on letting the ingredients shine. To this end, Barrel House supports local farmers and organic practices due to their amazing quality as well as being harvested at their peak of ripeness.

Barrel House will feature barrel aged and classic cocktails. Its wine menu highlights California winemakers. Barrel House will have rotating local micro brews on tap as well as wines on tap. Additionally, we will be hand crafting our own sodas with seasonal fruits.
Barrel House features furniture and woodwork that was handcrafted using reclaimed black walnut and curly maple trees. Every seat in the Barrel House has sweeping views of the Bay and an outdoor deck that sits right over the water.

***Please note: Pets are not allowed in the dining room or patio.

Great views and the smoked trout toast was delicious. But the club music was intrusive and the tuna tartare did not taste like tuna. I genuinely think it was a cheap fish dyed to look like tuna.

I was a little surprised at the clam chowder, which is shellfish in a broth, not the creamy kind I am used to. It was good, but it is a lot of work to separate the clams from their shells, dispose of the shells, then dig out the clams from withinthe broth. Interesting experience! The shrimp risotto was excellent, the Dry Creek Sauvignon Blanc accompanied it well, and to finish, the affogato was really nice. Mency was attentive and professional. And we had a perfect table, in the corner overlooking the water. The weather was drizzly and foggy, which the restaurant can't control (I'm sure they wish they could), so I'll try to be back when I can enjoy the view.

Busy day! They were way behind on firing meals so we sat forever with starving kids. I had to get up to find out what was happening. The manager did a great job to help and was very attentive. Busy holiday weekends are rough…best to come during a time that isn’t so busy.

My son and I had a great experience Saturday the 22nd. They have nice heat lamps outside. The view is amazing, our server was so fun gracious responsive. His name is Samuel. The view was stunning. We could have a nice meal and enjoy the view of San Francisco. Beautiful clear night. We were plenty warm and the margaritas were incredible. ! I highly recommend, sitting outside when it was a bit colder spectacular. A lot of the tables inside the restaurant are along the windows with a nice view. 50% of the inside, seeing all along the windows with the Waterview.
