Blasted Barley came through last minute to help me pull off a work party that everyone loved! I arranged to have our Holiday work party at BB. I contacted them with just a week to plan it and they pulled it off without a problem. They sent over a catering menu with some very unique options. They even had vegetarian a and gluten free choices. They reserved the back patio for us and for the 40 people we had, it was plenty of room. We even had our own bar with two bartenders. The food came out as our guest arrived and was hot and fresh (unlike most soggy buffet style food). All the food was good but the quinoa clopped salad and the caprese press were outstanding! I was a little worried that we didnt have enough food but then they brought a second round of fresh trays. That was great because the second round wasnt sitting around getting cold. I will be setting it up with them again next year (or sooner)!

I thought we were being prank ed because it was April fools Day but apparently NOT, mind you its a Wed evening not too busy: *There was 8 of us who ordered and 2 of us never received our orders (turkey legs) even after the mgr assured we would, we were told there was a mix up in the back, we rcvd wings while waiting (which took agile to come out) we had to constantly ask where the orders were, their responses were calmly the same, (as if there was no rush) all of us at the table were in TOTAL amazement, ( again we thought this was a joke but at this point no one was laughing, long story short, mgr offered gift cards - we dont live here, none of us were excited but the possibility of coming back or referrals, end result no charge for the two orders since we never received them , a free desert 10% off the entire order, Overall--- very, very, DISAPPOINTED! !!!!!!!

My boyfriend and I just came from there. We were attacked by the outside sitting area that looked really nice. Since we arrived the waiter/waitress didnt help us, I have to walk into the bar area and ask for service. The waiter first offer us the option to have beer in a pitcher, then a second waiter came and said pitchers werent available. They were out of the beer I wanted (hefenweizen) and the nachos were dry, cold, the cheese is not melted, beans from a can and on top of it they charge $3 extra dollars for 1/4 of dry chicken breast. I left half of the plate as the bottom tortilla chips had non ingredients at all. The bill was much more than we expected. There are many other excellent places in downtown Tempe, so of course we wont be back.

BBC is a little tucked in from Mill which gives you the peace and quiet from the student crowd while still having it at your doorstep (if you so crave it). Their HH deals are pretty good for the drinks but the appetizers could use a little more work. I found their grilled cauliflower app to be a little boring (cauliflower was not cooked enough, lettuce was super oily and everything just needed more seasoning). Their chop salad tasted just like every chop salad in town (luckily theyre all equally tasty). My friend enjoyed his mac and cheese and the beer selection is good. I do love that they are dog friendly and that the patio is equipped with both sun shades and heaters.

Not a very good experience on 12/30/16. Reserved table and traveled to Tempe specifically to watch UFC event as advertised by Blasted Barley. What they dont advertise is that they do not turn the sound up for the whole event...sound on only for last two fights and turned off within 10 seconds of the end of Rousey fight. Treated very unprofessionally by manager when we requested post fight interviews be turned on. Food average, drinks good. Gave a 2 star based on the awesome server that took care of us. So...if you want average food and a good drink, this is you place...but dont be lured in by a special event, you are sure to be disappointed...

Slow, ineffective service is an understatement. Waited 20 minutes, AT the bar, to get my order taken and a channel change to a live sport that was 20 minutes over. I finally just left and they didnt seem to care. Had family at another table that started before me and still waited several minutes more to order after I left. Worst part is that they seemed to have plenty of staff just walking and standing around. Weird. All the college kids had beers though. I guess if your older and hungry they dont want your money. They wont get it either. Thanks for the free Dr Pepper, I guess.

The blasted barley is my favorite place in all of Phoenix! They have amazingly delicious food for reasonable prices. They also have some of the coolest most down to earth people working for them and the service is always phenomenal. They also have an amazing beer selection, they have great music on all the time, great specials, and a prefect chill fun vibe. Did I mention they have their own brewery and sell growlers or that they have great live music and two patios with games? Best dining drinking experience Ive ever had! The breakfast shots are on point. 5 stars isnt enough.

I usually go around 4-6pm and happy hour is usually on then. They have a lot of good beers to try and theyre really cheap. I havent been when its very busy. Usually a quiet, relaxing atmosphere. The staff has always been friendly except once, but that happens. Overall its a great place. Ive been a few times at night and I dont like it at all. Seems to be more of the hippy scene which isnt for me but if you like that, its probably good.

Offered water as I sat at the bar on a Friday afternoon. Darker clubier atmosphere with louder pop music and female barkeeps with tight tank tops. Lots of beer taps and big bins full of fizzy yellow beer. 5 house made beers on tap when I visited (and fresh beers on deck in back evidenced by condensation on the fermenters). House beer pretty good. Outdoor patio.

Website talks about their own brews + collaborations. Get there, find parking on Mill (no small feat) only to be told "oh, we arent brewing and the website hasnt been updated". Um, thats annoying. We walked out. Two stars b/c in all fairness the patio was nice, the menu looked good and our server was good.

The staff here must still be in college. Terribly unprofessional at the bar focused more on themselves and attractive customers. Brunch was a nightmare with the wait staff claiming the crowds were larger than ever. I cant believe they arent prepared for a weekend brunch in mid November.

You advertised being a great place to watch the fight but the moment the last punch is thrown, theres no more sound....suddenly theres DJ blowing up my ears....f*&k that! I want to here Joe Rogan and the interviews but no....Instead I get super loud house and dance music in my ear.....

This is absolutely the worst bar and restaurant Ive been too. 3 out 4 entrees came out at once then 30 minutes later after everyone was done the fourth entree came out. And it was cold. I highly recommend everybody to avoid this place until they get their service and kitchen together.
