Easygoing brewpub offering local & imported craft brews, pub fare & a dog-friendly patio.
Historic Brewing Barrel House sits right in the middle of downtown Flagstaff, and it plays the part of an easygoing brewpub well — big open space, dog-friendly patio out back, and a beer list built around Historic Brewing Company's own local lineup alongside imported options. With a 4.4 rating from 625 reviews, it's earned a loyal following for both the pours and the pub fare.
The beer is the draw: flights and pints of house brews like the Deer Lord amber ale, Lodge Dad red lager, and Oceanfront Property Arizona lager show up often in reviews, priced fairly according to regulars. On the food side, the Barrel House Cheeseburger and the Brussels sprouts tacos both get called out as standouts, and the Tossed Buffalo Wings are a solid starter if you're sharing. The kitchen has also handled food-allergy requests carefully, according to at least one review.
Service is friendly by most accounts, though a few reviewers note it can get busy enough that flagging down a server takes patience — fair trade-off for a big, popular room downtown. Good stop for a casual dinner or a beer flight after a day exploring Flagstaff.

Very good smoked pastrami sandwich and the cheesesteak sandwich was filling. Tots were a good side. Pastrami sandwich was reasonably priced and I liked the caramelized onions. We sat in the bar area at a booth. We could look out the window at the street in downtown Flagstaff. I would imagine the place gets really busy based on the large number of bottles in the bar.

We headed out to the Historic Brewing Barrel House on a 1 night layover in Flagstaff. Located right in the middle of the downtown neighborhood. Friendly staff and as it turns out pet friendly. Unfortunately the night we were there they had only one or two of the appetizer options from the menu. But the beer options were great. I had a couple Deer Lord , an amber ale and a Lodge Dad, a red lager and my wife had the Oceanfront Property a crisp , clean Arizona Lager. Outdoor seating is available towards the back of the bar. We had the Tossed Buffalo Wings as an appetizer as it was one of the two available. They were great, spicy and saucy. Classic wings. I had the Barrel House Cheeseburger with fries my wife had Vortex Chicken Salad and loved it. Overall a great experience for our night out in Flagstaff.

Landed in AZ looking for a good quality burger. We got just that. Bartender made sure I was safe with my food allergies (nuts and gluten). Gluten free bun is UDI brand and oil was soybean. Super sweet woman in a relaxed environment. Tots had an odd seasoning not sure if it was rosemary or thyme so wasnt in love with them but everything was cooked perfectly. Thank you! Also great specials for happy hour and a ton of drink options!

Great brewery, glad we went. Place was big and parking wasn't bad. Beer was great. Beer and flights were priced right. Only difficulty was getting help.
