Looks great and your prices are stupidly low, the cynic I am, I cant see you making a living or being open too long with such low prices, sorry for the negative and i hope you are packed, you will need to be to pay any of your bills



I will come and have lunch with you and hope I cant get a table coz your sooooo busy



Good luck

Thank you very much for nice feedback.

Yes, we have got 'stupidly low' prices, and we are determied to keep them this way! Our budget has been planned carefully and we have got enought resources to carry on with low prices

You are welcomed to come for a late lunch, as we open at 4 pm.



You can find the map here: http://www.thebarrel.info/i/map.gif

As you turn to the left from the golden lady in Alsancak, take the first left, towards riverside. The restaurant is on the right handside, you can't miss it.



Looking forward to seeing you at 'The Barrel Restaurant' and 'The Roof Bar'

Went there tonite with my brood, burgers were ok but pizzas great. Drinks prices excellent and location at sunset on the roof terrific, service fast and friendly as well. Felt sorry for the saxophonist playing to an empty bar downstairs or was he miming? Definitely go again.

Hi, looked at your web site and think it is great and the food sounds quite delicious, however I have a question to ask - why such a difference in your drink prices from the roof bar to the restaurant, just had me wondering.

Babygirl where ever you go you would normally expect to pay more for your drinks in a restaurant because there are the extra overheads to cover, ie chefs, waiters, unfortunately they all need paying.

Thank you cooper,

That would be correct about the prices. These are 2 different venues, one is a restaurant and the other one is a bar.

If you would like you can have your meal downstairs and after your meal you can come upstairs for a few drinks.

Dear jimmyboy63



Unfortunately we do not have and elevators for the roof bar, but in order for our wheel chair customers to be able to benefit from 'The Roof Bar' prices, we would serve both menus for wheel chair users only, downstairs.

Sorry about any inconvenience caused.

Looking forward to seeing you all there, on Fri 30th, Party Night with yours truly, Caberet, Disco , and Guest singers welcome, I have plenty of Karaoke also.



9.00 until 12.00. Please come and support this venue, at these prices they deserve it, It can only be good for the customer.



Downstairs is the Restaurant, upstairs is the roof bar. Please Please don't expect to purchase your cheap drinks upstairs, and then take them downstairs. This just aint on. Like I said on another topic, we used to have bars and lounges in pubs in the UK, (when we had proper pubs where you could drink and smoke) and the prices where more expensisve for the lounge.

Thank you for the replies and of course I understand the difference between a restaurant and a bar, the reason I raised the question is because this is the same company operating from the same building and presumably have staff and overhead costs to cover in the bar venue as they do in the restaurant. Again thank you for the replies.

The is one that we use, it's jasmine taxi, his name is Ozel Nizam and his number is 05338667442.

It would take him around 15 -20 minutes to get to Lapta, but they are reliable and we have heard only good comments about him from our customers and are happy with his services.

Hope this helps.
