Very nice place. Looks like an old tavern inside and there is covered seating beer garden out back you can bring your dog. Big selection of beers and food. DW had a burger and beer battered French fries - both delicious. I had the Oktoberfest special of different sausages and kielbasa with German potatoes salad and pickled cabbage- excellent. Plenty of big tables for large parties lots of room. Very nice. Plenty of parking.

My husband and I are visiting Massachusetts for the first time. We came from Michigan. Not only did we want to go somewhere where we have never been but we wanted some good food!! Massachusetts is absolutely beautiful and the food here at Barrington Brewery is excellent!! I have never had beer battered cod as good as this!! Not only was it good but the pieces were more than generous!! Great food great service!

The beer is brewed with solar power. Amazing depth of flavor. My favorite was Barrington Brown with Black Bear Stout in a close second! Would definitely eat here again. The nachos with chicken fed 2 of us and was delicious.

Outstanding service. Here with 2 families and 3 children- we ate here twice because they were so warm and accommodating. Our server, Carol, went above and beyond to make sure my child’s food allergies were accommodated. Great ribs, excellent beer and phenomenal service. Our server the previous night was also wonderful- I didn’t catch her name, but she was the hostess our second night and greeted all of the kids very warmly.

Service here is always wonderful the bartenders are long-standing and skilled. Coming all the time typically on a Wednesday or Thursday or whenever they are doing oysters for a regular lunch with Tina. Brian is also very accommodating. Gary, Garrett and Chelsea should be commended on this venerated institution, and they still have the best brown ale I've had outside of the UK borders. The bar pies are not to be missed, and the kitchen is one of the more consistent in the area. You'd be remiss to miss this gem on your way through!

Love a good brewery, especially one that serves food! We were able to sit outside in the nice weather. Even during the day on a Friday there were customers, which is great. Pet friendly. Loved their brews, food was good too, nothing fancy. You can also take pastries/deserts to go. Older building, just be careful in some areas for the uneven flooring.

Randomly stumbled upon Barrington Brewery & Restaurant and had an amazing time! The atmosphere is brilliant, staff are friendly. Tried the Barrington Brown beer – absolutely brilliant. Enjoyed the special roast turkey with bacon on bread, onion rings, and a cup of soup – all tasted fantastic. Had two pints and left with a great impression! Not to forget the chocolate cake which looked absolutely delicious so I got that to go and enjoyed it later with coffee. That one slice can feed 3 people.

I wish I could rate this wayyyy more than just five stars. It was a place we had randomly stumbled upon while meeting up with a family member. This place is beyond words amazing! The food is home style / homemade down to the dressings. (I love the ranch dressing!) I have been here multiple times now on many different occasions from casual dinner nights to celebrations for father’s day and now Easter. There is usually never a long wait without a reservation and they always honor our reservation when we have one. They also have outdoor seating in the warmer months. We have had parties of 6- but they seem to be able to accommodate larger size parties. The beer has a wonderful taste and it’s so cool and unique how it’s solar brewed! We travel about an hour each time to come and it’s worth it every time. Each time we come the servers always greet us with a warm smile- and some even remember us even with months in between of not visiting. I personally love the raspberry ale and the brisket dinner. The beans and mashed potatoes are A, and the veggies are always cooked to perfection. My partner swears by the Salads with the (amazing!) Cajun chicken, and his mom swears by the chicken pot pie. We always start with the buffalo boneless wings appetizer and it’s a hit. But honestly I have had many things off of the menu and we always want to try a bite of each others plate and it has never been a disappointment. ANY dessert is a good choice- they even tease you with it in a glass case in the middle of the dining area . There are too many wonderful things to say about this place. It really brings out a classic homemade-food, friendly dining experience. In a way it resembles a local place that you would find in Vermont. The last and best thing I can say is try it out- you will not be disappointed! I hope and pray this place will stay open for many more years to come!
