Établissement visité le mardi 27 mai vers 14h. Ambiance: Décoration de type ranch. Articles agricoles sur les murs et musique de style country, blues et bluegrass lors de mon passage. Vitrine donnant sur la salle de brassage industrielle du Pump House. Service: Sympatique avec explication du menu du jour. Anglais seulement. Sélection: 8 fûts maisons dont une saisonnière. Nourriture: Contrairement au Pump House qui a un menu de style pub, le Barnyard a un menu de style grillade et burger. J’ai pris le Texas Rodeo Buffalo Burger. (97e rating d’établissement)

Visited last August and found their delicious spicy pulled pork sandwiches went well with their beers (eight of their own were great, especially the cream and scotch and muddy river stout). Service was quite friendly and fast and full of interesting stories about the brewery, otherwise it was pretty quiet for an afternoon dinner. We sat looking through the windows to the big brewing tanks area or ’barn’ in the back but the smaller room we were in was low-ceilinged and full of dark wood and neat signs on the walls. Would return for more food.

An odd barn garage feel to it that is fun and suits the place. BBQ menu is drool inspiring, the waitress laughed when I asked if the "big feast" was too much for two people. Went with the pulled pork sandwich which was quite unique - Im used to the more wing like sauce on the offerings of places like the Beer Bistro, or the BBQ shows that come through Toronto. This was more of a darker traditional BBQ sauce but with what tasted to me like chili powder - theres chipotle in the sauce. The meat was delicious and the sauce was tasty. Beer was PumpHouse. If you are planning to eat I would come here over the brewpub, they pretty much had everything on tap except one offering that was only at the Orange Lane location. Service was friendly and engaging, but we were the only ones there in the middle of the afternoon doing our "beer study" :)

If you like ribs, chicken and other bar-b-qued meat, this is the place to go. great service, great food and great beer. If you want fancy, this ain’t it. If you want to eat and drink quality beer, check this place out.
