Double Barrel Taphouse: A Hidden Gem in Vancouver, WA

Tacos are street taco size. Very small for $3/each Burgers are tasty Whiskey selection is pretty good

Nice inside. Plenty of drink selections. Bartender was great. We each got two street tacos. Flavor was great but they were fairly small for the price compared to some of the other breweries we frequent.

What a great neighborhood like bar/place to meet up with friends-watch a game-play pool etc. The folks that work there always make everyone feel welcome(Nate you are the best!!!). Food is not fancy but consistently good.

This is a hidden gem for sure. With daily deals, lots of taps and good food, don’t let the location fool you

I love it here. Its my go-to spot for years. The bartenders like to get to know their regulars. They always let me do tasters to pick a beer I like. Its clean. Its not rowdy. I enjoy the vibe so much I come here alone quite often and never had a bad time. Also their quesadilla is my favorite thing on their menu. I order it so often they already know it’s me. If Nick is working, and sees me as I walk in, always greets me with a big smile. The beer selection is always great. I have nothing but good things to say about this place. Please stay open forever because this place is my comfort place and I will support this business as much as I can!

A Casual Spot To Take a Break With Southern Flair. Great Specials! We had: Pork Street Tacos and Dirty Bird Sandwich and Cajun Tots, Built for Speed, Hoppy Giant Excellent street tacos would not change a thing. Cajun tots were good, but over fried. Candra: Pulled Pork Nachos, x2 Mela Orange Peach Mimosa, Excellent would not change a thing. Loved the 30 tap selection and specials running for them. The fixtures and ducts were dusty. The bartender was attentive and very helpful. Food took 45 minutes, which is meh. Love the decor and wooden accents in the building.

As you cruise along the ever charming Highway 99 The Double Barrel Taproom looks either like an adjunct to the Battery X Change or possibly a citadel of doom with its dark windows and grey paint. It does not capture the eye or lure the weary wanderer. Luckily google is blind to such things and leads me to the day’s repast. The inside is a surprise. The exterior looks a tad foreboding, the windows dark, but from the inside, they fill the room with natural light. It’s a good feel for a bar, unusual, healthy. As a tenderfoot, I am a little lost at first. I take a seat for awhile until I finally find the sign that says, Order at the Bar, I suppose once you know you know, but I get the feeling I might have sat for quite awhile. I opt for the club sandwich with fries and look around. The bar tender/waitress is nice, I like the two barrels up on the wall… I get it, double barrel. They have a pool table and a couple a gentlemen are having a pleasant game along with their lunch. And now to the the crux of the matter. The food. The Club Sandwich is a solid B. Not the best I’ve had and not the worst. Not really skimpy, but certainly not huge for the price. A good B sandwich. My first bite of the fries and I think, “I’m rescued!” I think, “Perfect!” A great crunch! But then something happens and the perfection starts to slip. There is something a little off about the texture for me the more I eat. And then I get it. The inside of the fries are completely soft. Like mashed potatoes. Light crunch on the outside and totally soft on the inside. Either these are made from a mix or they are doing something to them. After the the first few fries they start feeling a bit insipid. Ok, they’re not bad. I’d still give them a solid B. And if I had spent an exhausting day shopping at Walmart and then had to have my battery exchanged I would absolutely stop and grab a bite at Double Barrel TapHouse, but there are so many other places in town that have A+ food and if I was going out for an event, I’d probably go elsewhere. It’s an honest solid 4 star. There’s nothing wrong with that. Now on the other hand the bartender was a full 5 star. Just saying.
