Great beers brewed onsite and a good selection of 'visiting' beers.
I went during Lent this year because I was told that their fish and chips were excellent (and I forgot to make reservations at another restaurant). We were in a party of 4 and got seated right away. We all ordered the fish and chips and a sampler of their brews. The beer came out first and was excellent. The food came next. While not bad, there was nothing really remarkable about it. Kindof like any traditional pub's fish and chips.
I have nothing bad to say about Barley Island. It is a semi-regular haunt of mine now.
Pros: Great beer, good service
Cons: Nothing really negative, just average everything
