Butcher & Barrel Gastropub

Being brief… Saddened.
Mediocre.
Just ok. The menu was odd.
I ordered pork chops for 36 dollars could barely enjoy because too much tyme. There was pumpkin purée that tasted like water and pumpkin spice paired with a scallop, cashew, sugar pea and it was meh…the whole bite just brought me back to gerber puréed pumpkin. The bacon Mac n cheese was buttery and such a large-like 3 ppl could’ve split it.
But it was the best dish out of all three. We started with Brussels sprouts-delish I just wish the glaze was not as watery and held the bacon to the veg.
But delish. I just wanted to leave an honest review.
Paid 180 total plus two drinks…the drinks were infused with lavender and I think Baby’s breath…cute.
I got the concept.
June special drinks. It’s not the best but if you want to support those in food service, please support and tip well. A 200 dollars is better spent at a Bartolottas restaurant…in my experience.
No shade.
Like we had leftovers-large portions but for 200 we paid to waste food because we weren’t compelled to relive the experience. I may eat the Mac n cheese for lunch today (2days later) because I don’t want to waste so much money. I appreciate the service and I brought my 3yr at around 7:30-we popped in from Farmers Market and it was mostly manageable.
Not ideal for kids or physically impaired though.

This is the best restaurant opened in Racine in my lifetime.
Great bar.
Fantastic menu.
Loved everything.
One request, your wine list isn't living up to everything else you're doing.
However, wonderful spot and I will be there whenever I'm back in town, for sure.
I can highly recommend the Manhattan with High West Double Eye.
That beet salad is the best!

It's a bit of an odd place.
Not bad, but not your normal 'bar' I suppose.
They are a gastropub so I guess that's why the feel was so different. We stopped in for a cocktail and the bartenders were wonderful.
attentive and kind.
Unfortunately we didn't really like either of the drinks we received - which I don't think is their fault.
The flavors just weren't there.
I think I had something called the Bitter Orange something and my partner had a margarita. The atmosphere is cute, but could use a little update and or cleaning.
The bar had a very distinct smell to it.
Kind of...
damp? Like if you left a towel in the wash too long.
They had a candle burning next to us, I think to help with the smell; but it didn't do any good. Overall.
It could be a cool little pub with a little more attention to details :) Thanks for having us.
