The Barrels in Luton

Not very busy on a Tuesday night. Welcoming fire burning and a great choice of ciders too.

No food, but happy for food to be purchased from the takeaway next door. Great local drinks selection. Amazing looking secret music venue. No music the night we went, but we are going to have to visit again when there is. Landlord was super welcoming. Dogs welcome

Fantastic Acoustics..great singers..lovely atmosphere..didn't try food .but soda & lime..expensive & both were awful drinks..the show had started...we were offered alternatives but had to leave. .please ensure at that price the drink is drinkable. In a pub.!!.the lady was lovely tho . Just the soda & butter lime ..will go again as too good a live music event..

It was open Mic night and the music and poetry was great The Barrel is a great place showcasing local artists

Quaint pub with a good selection of local ales and ciders.

Good atmosphere. Hardly any proprietary brands of drink

Great place, friendly staff, lovely and clean

Quirky little place, with a good music venue attached. All seems to be built in converted farm buildings, not your typical pub! Two real ales and a modest selection of other draft drinks. Large grass field which is great for kids to play.

Lovely place to visit on a sunny day huge grass area to relax while having a drink, staff always friendly & you can grab chips from the chippy round the corner which are really good.

Don't hesitate. Just visit. Friendly, fun, warm, great beers, great barman.... What else do you need

Wonderful pub and brilliant landlord. Music on Weds in their epic gig room. Large outdoor bit so ideal for dogs. Looks like they have lots of events and stuff on - just a shame we live four hours away and are only visiting as we are on the campsite over the road. They don’t serve food but allow you to bring in food from the excellent takeaway place next door. If ever you’re near Banham you need to visit this place.

Great venue for young people to demonstrate their musical talent and perform

Great pub and you can take food in from the takeaway next door!

What a cool venue! A cosy and lovely pub on one side and a super cool gig/live music spot just through a couple of sets of doors. Loved it!

Has an amazing set up for live music. Top quality equipment! Local products and you can get food next door (chippy) and take it in.

Had a quick drink with friends, good beers. Atmosphere is what you make it.

One of THE best places to go for a night out. Brian was wonderful as a host. Just go there for drinks and a bit of food and a brilliant night out

Very nice dog friendly area outside. The barman even brought some water over for my dogo

Very friendly helpful staff many thanks

Very nice atmosphere and chilled area and drinks are all local nice cold beets and ciders and wines I would recommend to anyone if you come to camping in applewoods or near its worth to come and visits

Our favourite local pub! Brian the landlord is just the best

Very good for zoo and caravan park

Excellent place, friendly happy staff, excellent choice of beers and the function room is incredible

Great location, great space for kids to play and we enjoyed watching the sunset whilst having a drink and eating our fish and chips - highly recommended

Thank for being so welcoming for a wake we had. The food was fantastic and staff were lovely. Would recommend to family and friends x

Cosy place, very reasonable prices, the owner was very accommodating and went above and beyond to make our visit enjoyable. Will definitely come back and also recommend to family and friends.

Cookie, friendly definatly different. And you can eat your takeaway from next door chippie as long as you have a drink.

Ideal place for a relax when camping at applewood. Lovely gin with knowledgeable owner and a big field where kids can run about

Love this place! Homely, welcoming, well stocked. All great, will return.

Great venue, great people, great live music.

Only the 2nd time we've been but really nice place. Good beer and cider and the log burner was going. Friendly staff. Recommended

The barrels catered for my sons wake in February 2019 , they did a lovely spread of food for everyone they made us all feel welcome and believe me their was a lot of people but they managed it very professionally. Nice food great choice of alcoholic beverages and beer extremely happy with how well they done . If your wondering why it took me so long to write this review it was my sons wake and Iv only just came back to a sane mind and wanted to thank them ! Extremely friendly welcoming pub with great food ! Try it for yourselves you won’t regret it peeps

Booked here for Sunday lunch for my Wife,Dad and myself. Met by very friendly bar staff took our order quickly and shown to our reserved table,got our drinks put on the bill,food came out we all had the lamb and very nice it was too,all told very good for just over £30 with drinks.

Good friendly atmosphere, can't wait to go back soon

Vine aquí hace un año y fue un pub a punto de cerrar. Nuevo encargado, calidad y un gran personal tefurb han transformado este lugar. Lo recomiendo totalmente.

Traditional pub grub done well! This pub is open early for the lunch crowd with 2 for 1 lunch specials. Dinner patrons won't be disappointed either with generous portions and gracious prices.

We visited here Saturday night on their opening weekend as we had relatives in the area. It is now a pub that will do good family pub food soon we were informed. The new landlord and landlady are a very friendly couple and introduced themselves as Malcolm and Margaret, they made time to speak to everyone and make you feel valued as a customer. The drinks were well priced and the bar staff were polite and friendly, I gather from the conversation with the new landlords that the place had a cloudy reputation in the past which they seemed determined to shed and turn it into a family pub and community hub . The place looks brand new inside and has obviously been fully refurbished. The band they had booked were entertaining and we felt comfortable even with our 2 year old with us. Won't hesitate to visit again when next in the area.

We were out for a walk and called into this public house for a quick drink before heading back to our hotel. Nice friendly people running this pub. Football game was in full swing when we arrived but got served quickly. Atmosphere was good. Only down side was the general cleanliness of the tables and chairs which looked as though they could do with a good wash or at least a dust. We didn't eat here so cannot comment on the food, but what we saw of others eating, it looked fine.

Came from Birmingham and visited this pub/grill during the World Cup. Plenty of screens to watch the match. Good atmosphere, friendly bar staff. The food was a decent portion and tasted good. Good selection of beers. Would definitely visit again.

My wife and I thought we'd give the pub a try as we wanted to savour the Indian food that it serves. The pub itself is an estate-based establishment and is lacking in any real character. The food is freshly cooked so there is a bit of a wait for orders. I was not particularly impressed with the cuisine. The food was rather greasy and lacked flavour. There are certainly other places in the town that offer better Indian food in a better environment.

Food was undercooked and toilets were grubby, would definitely not recommend as somewhere to take the family. Definitely nicer places to go.

I've heard a few things about The Barrels from friends and decided to go and have a look for myself with the family. Located on the outskirts of Luton, this is a large pub owned and run by Indians, the food is stunning, and presented well. This place is not a restaurant but a good pub that sells great food. There are 6 screens to watch an array of different sporting fixtures. You need to order your food at the bar, but it is delivered to the table. We had the mix grill, compromising of chicken tikka, Sheek kebabs and tandoori wings, all served on a bed of onions which are on to of a very hot sizzler. We were left alone to enjoy our food and only called upon to see if we needed any further drinks. The curries are authentic and taste just like home. Overall a great place with a great atmosphere.
