A 'Barrel' is not just a vessel for wine, it is also how we Dutch describe an old bicycle. Fitting for our lively northern College city full of students and... old bikes.
Barrel is a unique winebar. It feels like a regular bar, but there's table service, plenty of wine knowledge and a large wine list to match. In spring and summer, you can also enjoy the hidden garden terrace!
Barrel offers a comprehensive wine list with around 1500 entries. Thanks to Coravin, we always have around 85 wines by the glass (including Ports, Madeira, Sherries etc). Our customers can order a 'small tasting' comprising of 4, 6 or 8 half glasses or a themed tasting. Of course, we also offer private tasting possibilities. Food choices include cheese, cured meat and canned fish specialties.
