★★★★★ 5.0 Andrew Winegar · Oct 2025

This place is a hidden gem and a must stop if you're a bourbon lover. They have so many bottles and reasonable prices for what you're drinking. Including a row of purple tops. (😉 IYKYK) be sure to check out the art throughout the shop and take a peek at the bottle shop in back. A lot of great store picks and again, good prices.

★★★★★ 5.0 Julie Delp · Mar 2026

Great, super-friendly staff. They serve a wide selection of bourbons, whiskey, specialty drinks and more. While they don't serve food, you are welcome to bring food in. Fantastic music. Overall fun place to chill with friends.

My husband and I moved to Princeton about 4 years ago from the Chicago suburbs. We were so excited to find Barrel Society--it's a gem! We just love hanging out on a Friday night (or Saturday, or a Sunday for their amazing Bloody Marys, or sometimes on a random Thursday). The beer and bourbon list goes on and on and the cocktails are tasty and creative. The bartenders are very friendly and considerate. There's a bottle shop in the back that's stocked with beer, liquor, and other cocktail making needs (it's perfect because we're trying to build our home bar so we can run in and grab what we need). If they don't have something you're looking for in the bottle shop, they'll make suggestions (or even try to order it for you). Their special events and trivia nights are so fun. Nick, the owner, w
