Went to Barley's for the first time a few days ago. I really liked this part of Council Bluffs! Situated in downtown CB, Barley's is considered a part of the Hundred Block, a series of bars on the Broadway block. Barley's is also close to a park where there was live music (Bayliss Park I think), and parking was very easy to navigate, both on the street and in the back (keep your change handy during the week). Arriving through the back entrance, first, I was surprised at how spacious this bar/restaurant is! The second thing I noticed was how many families were in here. While I would consider this as more of a bar (It's even in the name), families were welcome and happily enjoying their meals. Venturing to the front, a server confirmed that everything was open seating. Servers were nice, prompt, and professional. There are some great local beers on tap, and they seem to be more affordable than in Omaha. I enjoyed a Des Moines IPA for $3.50, I believe. Menu had some great looking items including an extensive burger/sandwich selection. Additionally, there was a special menu to order from as well. From the specials menu,Thai chicken sliders were ordered and enjoyed. I'm not sure if I would say the flavors reminded me of Thai cuisine, but they were delicious. The soft, buttery rolls complimented the slightly sweetened chicken and pineapple. I also tried the Barley burger with French fries and ranch. The burger toppings were easily modified to my liking, and the burger was flavorful. It would have been nearly a 5-star burger if it were cooked to order, though. Since the server did not ask, I'm not sure if all burgers are cooked the same way (well-done) or if you have to request a different temperature. I am finding that well-done burgers are somewhat typical at places that are considered "burger" places, surprising for the beef-centered Midwest. Fries and onion rings were fresh, tasty, and abundant as well. Overall, I really enjoyed Barley's, and I will definitely be back.

So the other place we were going was closed. Peg had Mediterranean quesadilla. Peg said she would order again. I had the Dimitri sandwich. It was good but the meat was in my opinion overwhelmed by the cheese. I would definitely come back again. The staff was outstanding with just the right amount of attention.

A nice bar to go to for lunch or dinner. Their beer selection is impressive, as is their liquor selection. A few friends and I split some pitchers of Angry Orchard, which is always amazing. It was nice and cold as it should be. I had a BLT, with extra bacon, and it was pretty good. You can't go wrong with double bacon. The fried pickles were spicy and good as well. The bar offers good, bar food at decent prices.

Dropped in for a bit while waiting for my daughter at an appointment. The Happy Hour special was $2.00 draws and that is fun. My niece and her friend got Shirley Temples with tons of cherries, so yay for the kid appeal. Got some fries and some chips and salsa. The chips were home cooked and I love that, and the salsa was not so hot it burns your face off. The fries, were fries, but the ranch my niece asked for was great and also homemade. The waitress was nice, and the owner was there, which is a good sign he keeps an eye on his business. It wasn't packed, but it was early, and it got busier as we sat. Good place to just relax and not feel out of place with kids. Good snacks and drinks for the price, I have been here before, and will go back again.

This is a BEAUTIFUL bar in downtown Council Bluffs. The historic building has been well-maintained and is in great condition. The bar seems to straddle the line between being a restaurant bar and being a sports bar, with restaurant style bar slightly edging it out. We were the first customers of the day, and the bartender was MIA. We sat there for about 10 minutes before she finally appeared from a back room, surprised to see us. After she served us she disappeared again. A few minutes later a woman came in who had left her card here the previous night. She looked around, checked the other room, then came back. "Is anyone working here?" she asked us. "Nope, we had to serve ourselves," my friend joked. She set off exploring and finally managed to find the bartender on her own. So I'd echo the earlier reviewer's comment about the place being understaffed. It appeared that our bartender was the only person working at all and she was having to do too many other things that kept her away from the customers.

Easily the highest quality food, not only for the money but for taste and punctuality. Took very lirttlw time to get order. Fresh salad bar, fresh toppings and nothing I listed was frozen. The tenderloin was thick and juicy and hand breaded. Amazing I didn't know of this before.

This was one of the stops for a Promise 4 Paws fundraiser. The building was nice enough, but the service was quite slow. The fundraiser started at 12:00, I got there at about 3:00 and it was close to impossible just to get a bottle of beer. I considered going behind the bar, as I was quite thirsty after a long half day of tedious work. I would go back for a fundraiser. Allow me to plug Promise 4 Paws: THEY ROCK!

Great burger and the onion relish topped it off nicely. Sweet potato fries nice and thick. A bit loud in here with wrestling fans cheering. I will be back

There was a fly in my drink...I kid you not! After ordering a cranberry vodka I noticed a black floaty thingy and sure enough it was a dead fly. Normally, I would put that down as a one star review but the bartender's response, "That's how we serve them here" made me giggle. Needless to say they gave me a new drink...not very strong tho. Over all, this was a nice, standard bar where you could watch the game and hang out with friends. I was attending a birthday party here and the abundance of room helped make it a success. Not too loud and not too expensive...middle of the road type of place.

We go to Barley's alot with friends. It's located on "the strip," or the "hundred block," as people call it. This is a long line of bars. Barely's is one of my favorites as it offers drinks specials and decent bar food. The bar is huge, so there's usually a place to sit. If you're from Council Bluffs, you're most likely going to see someone you know. They have Golf Tee, complimentary popcorn, and lots of TV's. They also do live bands and dancing in the back. Some of the bathrooms are gross and some are nice. One has a teddy bear theme :) We've paid as little as $5 for an Angry Orchard pitcher. They also had Stella Artois for $4, which is a really good price.

Went here over the summer for lunch, after I realized Dixie Quick's was closed. Decor was simple; our group sat next to the window, and although it wasn't super crowded, service seemed a wee bit slow. At some point, one of the servers apologized and said they were "busy". Maybe they were short-staffed? Seems like a number of the folks were regulars and had a good rapport with the staff. It smells very popcorn-y there, I think it's free? We didn't try it. Anyway, the food itself seems to be pretty standard bar fare. Someone at the table had fish and chips, which had actual chips (homemade?) not fries, other than that, no major surprises with the sandwiches and salads here. Reasonable prices. Not bad, just not that interesting. With just okay service and food you can get at a lot of other places, I don't think I'll be going back any time soon.

Had lunch with a good friend and chose Barley's because I just had to have a beer. Ordered up a BLT and a Stella Artois. A pretty good selection of beers on tap, but a light, crisp Belgian was exactly what I needed. BLT was good - hard to mess up. Wasn't nuts about the cheese on it - just a fake syntheticy American cheese. A local cheddar or something with some uniqueness would have been great. Could've used a bit more mayo on the sandwich too. Crinkle fries were very good, especially dipped in ketchup and mayo. :) Waited a good five minutes after taking our seats to be served. Not a huge issue but when you've asked someone to come to the Bluffs for lunch and feel like they're your guest in a way, it makes for some discomfort. Especially when they've mentioned how hungry they are. Barley's gets the job done with basic bar food. Nothing more, nothing less.

You get a choice between a rowdy room and a not so rowdy room :). Fast drink and food service at 7pm this Friday night. Steak was kinda fatty but rare like I asked. Salad was iceberg and tomato throwback to the 70s. My husband's reuben was great. He said the fries were ok. The wierd thing is when I asked THE BARTENDER what he had on tap that was not macrobrew, he said isn't everything owned by them now anyway, and when I pushed he could name like only two (Lucky Bucket and Sam Adams)...so I asked if he had Blue Moon and that is what I got. This was not a Bud, Bud, Bud-lite kind of place so that was a little off-putting. Maybe it was because he was waiting tables and bartending at the same time and thinking "lady, I don't need this", so I will come back :)

One of the best reubens in town. Hands down. It's amazing, the best bread, perfectly buttered, the beef has so much flavor and is cooked just right. Awesome food, great place to chill.

Good food. Nice atmosphere. Sit outside in historic downtown. But many young smokers congregate in front of sidewalk tables and quite noisy inside. Good beer selection.

Great place to stop while driving on I-80. Friendly staff, nice patio, good food, reasonable prices. Ruben and chicken sandwich were top notch and the sweet potato fries worth the extra two bucks.

My wife and I were looking for a good place to relax over some drinks. We came to Barley's and were not disappointed. The drinks are tasty yet strong, the food is great and the wait staff are extremely nice.

This is a great bar, with pretty darn good food. The wait staff is pretty attentive, but sometimes they have a tendency to be understaffed. They have two separate sections (one used to be the non-smoking side before the smoking ban) and a party room available for rent upstairs. Bathrooms are big and clean, and it isn't rare to see a lot of families coming by for dinner. The best thing about the place is that they have a great selection of beer on tap, and they have great specials, often with a "beer of the week" going for crazy low prices (I remember a heffeweisen from last summer selling for $1/pint). Pretty much all the booze is very reasonably priced, and they have some fun happy hour specials (such as a pickle card night, where your drink can range from full price to twenty-five cents. The food is good, with a nice wide selection that you may not expect in a bar, and really good soups. They recently added a pizza oven, but I haven't tried their pizza yet. All in all, this is a really good bar in CB.
