I had such a spectacular experience at Barrelhouse last night that I now feel that it's a mission to tell everyone about this place.  My friends, my mom, Yelp, random strangers on the street....everyone.\n\nDon't be thrown that this place is in a strip mall between a video store and a boba tea shop.  If you didn't see the massive parking lot out of the window, you'd forget all about it once you're inside.  The decor is welcoming, with a mix of booths, high-tops near the bar, and a few couches in the corner.\n\nWatermelon Collins was my drink of choice for the evening.  Perfectly balanced, deliciously summery, and one of the best cocktails that I've had this year.  The rest of their drinks looked equally intriguing - I'll have to drag a few friends along next time so we can compare.\n\nThe goat cheese crepe was a generous portion with a touch of balsamic vinegar to give it a kick (the real stuff).  I yummed and ahhed through the whole entree.  The real delight, however, was the berry apple crisp.  I can't even begin to describe just how good it was.  I would go back on the merits of the dessert alone.\n\nIt's clear the kitchen and bar staff know their trade.  I hope this place is the new Postino's for the East Valley.
