Twisted Barrel Brewery and Tap House — Restaurant in Coventry

I've really enjoyed my time spent at Twisted Barrel! It has a chill Hipster/Boho sort of vibe. Warm and cozy in the winter, and sprawls outside in the summer.

Most of all the beers, cider and ales on tap were created in this shop! You can literally see all the equipment that was used around the seating area. Although they're not brewing it while you're there, it's sort of like eating in the kitchen of a restaurant.

The staff there are all super cool. Especially on Friday and Saturday nights. They always recommend different drinks to what sort you like, and even let you have samples sometimes.

They used to serve vegan food, but now it's only drinks and some nuts. There's also beers to take away, and sometimes they do deals with the other local FarGo vendors so keep an eye out. I've seen events going on there some nights as well like open mic night and quiz night.

Some nights I go by and it's so packed there's standing room only. Other nights you can get the place to yourself. It's a bit hit or miss. But all in all if you're planning to go with a group of friends, best to send someone ahead early to snag a table with chairs.

Boys beware: Not the sort of place to pick up chicks. This is usually older generation clientele who really appreciate small batch beers and a chill vibe associating with their own friends. This is Not a pub or bar for PUA's! Haha.

Great drinks and independently owned. Definitely recommend...

Cannot fault the beer made here, however, one cocky, arrogant staff member really soured what was leading up to a very enjoyable evening.

For such an impressive venue with great product, i would advise on sending this one member of staff on a customer service course. I won't go into detail here, but his attitude stank.

I will be back, but will consider twice bringing out of town guests here if this arrogant child is still working behind the bar.

Five stars for the product, two stars at best for the plonker...

Recently paid a visit to Twisted Barrel, having only been to its previous location. The new location is large and cavernous, almost like they just threw a few wooden picnic-style tables in a warehouse. It was clean and the staff were friendly, even accommodating a request to turn the music down.

The beer is made there and is above-average.

Great potential, great beer and great staff, even great tables, but the venue lacks atmosphere away...
