Reviews for The Barley House Restaurant & Tavern in Concord, NH

The rooms were spacious and clean. The service was good for a Sunday and the soup was delicious. The selection of drinks were... well rounded. The atmosphere was warm and with the Patriots winning, a good day. Read more

The restaurant was clean, the food was prepared well but was not particularly flavorful and the service was decent considering... how busy it was. It is in a good location with ample paid parking and shopping all around. I was disappointed by the whiskeyselection but it does have a respectable variety of drinks. It is slightly pricier than I expected but it is in line withcomparable restaurants around it. Read more

I had been wanting to try this place for a while, and finally did on a Saturday night in October. Strike one on my book is that... they don?t take reservations. Fine, we still decided to wait. We were quoted an hour wait. The place was not full. After aboutan hour and ten, we went to ask and were seated. Our server came right over. She took our appetizer and food orders, didn?twrite anything down, and then asked us to repeat. Maybe you should write something down. The blarney puffs appetizer was good,but the dumplings weren?t really full. It reminded me of a frozen pizza roll. I ordered a hamburger. It was just average. Afterwaiting an hour for average food we probably won?t go back. Read more

Pumpkin apple bisque was phenomenal. Great beer & wine menu. I picked a pretty basic turkey sandwich with fries, but it really... hit the spot. Great service, just a bit louder atmosphere than I would've liked. Read more

This was my first time here, and my friends second time. We sat outside, it was gorgeous weather. We both tried the Pumpkin... Apple Bisque. It was not the soup for us, overpowering curry & a grainy texture. We shared the pretzels- super yummy! The saltcomes off easily, so if you're counting sodium (like me!) You can easily remove almost all of it. We also split the turkeysandwich with cranberry mayo & french fries. The sandwich bread was a bit crusty and it was an okay sandwich. Mostly bland to useven with the mayo. The turkey, lettuce and tomato were super fresh as the photo shows. The fries were good, and probably wouldbe great served hot. Their pickles are huge, which is always a bonus to me. I would probably try them again sometime, theirpizzas looked amazing as they served other customers. Read more

Barley house had excellent food. The pumpkin and apple bisque was one of the best soups I have had. The lobster blt and fish and... chips were both great as is their beer selection. Definitely a place to visit when you are in town. Finally, the service wasgreat. Read more

After having a taste of the Pumpkin apple bisque, I decided to review this place. Rick was our bartender and I appreciated his... service greatly. He was perfectly attentive while we had lunch at the bar exactly as it opened. The beer was cold and theyhave a limited but nice selection of draft. The blarney puffs were pretty good, the cheese sauce was definitely the highlight asI wasn't a huge fan of the pastry dough but liked the potato filling. We shared the chicken pot pie which had decent flavor andthe cracker type pastry on top was ok. If it had risen and wasn't so tough I would give it 5 stars. The creme brulee wasbasic, needed a garnish of berries or something for flare. The Pumpkin Apple Bisque, with it's hints of curry in my opinion is areason to go back again without a doubt ! If they offered it in a larger portion with some bread... 5 stars. Read more
