Red Barn

The Maverick Saloon is a great place to park your butt outside on a nice day and enjoy a cold beer. Across town, the Red Barn, (we’re talking 2 blocks) would be a better choice for a more adult beverage…especially if you wanted to chop down on sirloin or ribs. The bar is small, especially if you’ve just come from the Maverick, but once seated, your glass never reaches empty before you are asked if you’d care for another. I haven’t been back since it was bought by the Nichols Brothers (Sides Hardware and Shoes Restaurant and former owners of Brothers Restaurant at Mattei’s Tavern. I hope it will continue to get the good reviews it has in the past although I’m a little skeptical that this change of ownership will move the Red Barn into a slightly ‘fancier’ class and lose some of the rustic charm, which basically translates to higher prices.
