Barley & Vine Tavern — Restaurant in Newberg

I love this place! The concept, the food, the drinks, the service, the games, and the super dope gaming table in the back are all great reasons to visit B&V! The first time I went here a few years ago, the bar seemed a bit more centered around the idea of being a spot for people to just chill, or get together with their friends to play tabletop games. It's such a wonderful idea, and that "third place" is often so hard to find. Unfortunately, my friends and I have been visiting a lot less frequently these days. The place is still great, but it's just so incredibly loud. I can't hear myself think, and I can't hear anyone trying to talk to me. The echo is painfully loud. The back room also gets very noisy, which makes gaming difficult. The music back there is usually too loud for gaming even when it's not crowded at all. I really do think it has the potential to be a great place for beer and wine lovers, AND tabletop gamers alike, just needs some fabric sound dampening panels or something. I just really miss going here, but it feels...

When they first opened, it was a great spot. It's sad to see how it's went downhill - both the menu and staff. Don't waste your time or money at this drab, overpriced, diner- you won't be...

VIsited yesterday with friends. Our bartender for the early shift was great. We arrived around 4:30. The second bartender was rude and standoffish. When I ordered a glass of wine it was clearly not a regular pour of wine. For the prices they charge I should not have had to go back and ask for additional wine. Apparently they ran out of the bottle and so just gave me and my companion a small amount and did not offer to top it off until I went up to the bar and asked them to. She had major attitude and agreed to give me a splash more. So rude and so unfriendly. I have been going there for years and will not...
