🔙The story behind this pic from 2006 is that our bartender Danielle told Kirby she liked his shirt to which he responded "you can have it" so they switched shirts and Kirby ended up with Danielle's Marilyn Monroe tank top. People swapping clothes is a Barrel tradition that we've seen continue still today.😂

📆March 23, 1997. Our 40th year in operation. The DVD format was launched at The Oscars, The US just got its first female Secretary of State, and this group of regulars decided to pop out front to take a pic. Do you remember where you were in March of '97? If not, maybe you'd had a few long nights at The Barrel.😉

🔙Moving inside with our birthday throwback series: for a couple decades before our current owners we had a lot of dark leather and wood decor with shuffle board, a pool table, and darts. Drop a comment if this is what The Barrel looked like when you had your first drink with us!🎯

🧁In honor of our birthday week we wanted to share some throwback Barrel pics. Like this one from the book Van Nuys 1972 where you can see the The Barrel in the background long before the tree was planted out front. Do you remember The Barrel looking like this?🔙
