About this restaurant

Great for scenic views
Good for special occasions
Great for creative cocktails

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.

came for the food, stayed for the view 🏙️🌊😌 Sausalito will always have a special place in my heart. The vibe and the food, it’s a whole different energy on this side of the bay 😌 ft. my special guest @browtoxbylo 🫶🏻 Definitely need to come back for their 12-9pm M-F happy hour oysters! a crowd favorite was the flat iron steak cheesy french sandwich & the garlic fries were exactly how I liked it! The crispy panko snapper bread sandwich needed a bit more flavor for me. The cocktails won me over!! @barrelhousetavern 📍Sausalito, CA #bayarea #sanfrancisco #sanfranciscobay #bayareaeats #bayareafoodie #marin #sausalito

Ambiance very pretty. Food good. Cocktail good but it could have had a better taste. I got the watermelon margarita. Truffle fries were not good. The sauce was delicious but the fries were not tasty and were cold. Server was nice but he wasn’t that attentive.
