The husband and I have been trying to find a new place to eat (and drink) . If I can’t travel to far off places? At least I can visit new bars.
Enter the Barnhouse Grill and Pub.
.
.
Husband found an old washing machine at the entrance, which thankfully wasn’t for sale.
.
.
This is a relatively new place remodeled from an old seafood market. It’s rustic and takes the barn theme seriously.
.
.
Chickens and cows were plentiful, as were the bartender’s pours. It’s not often I call it quits at two margaritas… but I did that day in an effort not to fall off my stool.
The decor was down home country with a sense of humor, and when the husband came back from the men’s room requesting my phone, I knew it would be good.
.
.
Keg urinals. The ultimate in recycling.
.
.
There was also another antique washing machine, complete with rooster.
This got me curious what the ladies room had to offer so in I went, phone camera ready.
.
.
Thankfully this wasn’t the only toilet. But aside from more chickens that was about it. Not nearly as much fun as the men’s room.
.
.
I’d like to tell you I took pictures of the wonderful chili, the strange but quite tasty macaroni and cheese bites, and the fabulous charbroiled mushroom Swiss burger we ate, but I didn’t.
All I managed at the end of my second killer ‘Rita was one shot of the Philly cheesesteak egg rolls. Weird? Yes. But also really, really good.
.
.
They’re not lying.
I was definitely happy when we left.
.
River's world..... 
Is that Thai chili spring roll sauce next to the cheesecake? It looks exactly like the big bottle of stuff I have in my refrigerator.

Cheesesteak, not cake… but yes. It was.

Would’ve been a toss-up for me between the Tractor Fashion and the margarita.

The margaritas were killer but I wasn’t that impressed with the cocktail list.

It wears on you, doesn’t it? Around here once we can go outside again, they’ll be more to do, eat, drink. Living for that right now.

Spring and warm weather will be better. We’ve been heavily restricted for 22 months…seriously, I’m so fed up with that mentality. Let’s learn to live with it already because the damage done to the economy, not to mention the kids, is almost irreparable. Sigh.
Yes I’m weary. 🙂 But I’m hanging in.

When I read the name of the place, for a quick second I thought oh no, the hubs in his retirement stalemate opened up the Barn Mahal as a restaurant! And why aren’t the ladies powder rooms not as nicely decorated?

The ladies room was covered in chicken paintings. I felt like I was being watched…

The chickens far outnumbered the people when we were there. Which isn’t necessarily a bad thing.

Lucky hubby learned to use phone camera and that he’d already been to loo or that could have been an awkward post! Other than that, good to explore and support local. We rarely know what’s on the next street in our locale.
