Barnacles hiked their prices up way too high. For 2 drinks, wings, and nachos the bill came up to $70. They also added in an automatic $10 gratuity (for a party of 2). Thats ridiculous. Weve been coming here for years; but well definitely be frequenting other establishments from now on.
Crowd was a little ratchet this past visit. Used to be a dress code.. no flip flips etc.Def NOT exclusive enough for the $20 entry fee they charged.Drinks were ok.DJ had a pretty good mix of throwback and new.Caught a contact high from all the smoke
We arrived approximately 9:30 p.m. ..it was pretty empty...so we sat at the bar...the Asian looking bartender took our drink order which has no personality..the first bad sign...second sign was asking about drink special since we never attended this establishment before..she told us that it wasnt none....which later ..while sitting there..we heard 107.9 which was broadcasting live stating that its 20.00 pitcher special all night..third bad sign the food...calamari and fries was over cooked. The wings was a graded one..they taste like old wings fried with lemon pepper seasoned serve on Dixie paper plates..the worst.....the fourth and last bad sign was the women bathroom all stalls was in need to be clean and sinks ..while several waitress working around doing nothing ...The worst experience ever
First off we attended this spot for super bowl Sunday. Upon arrival management did not even know we purchased a section. I showed her the text message chain and cash app screen shot but I was still told she had to verify my payment. We stood at the front for about 20 mins while they figured out if I prepaid or not. Missed the first part of the game and all. After they figured the payment situation out she then said you can go in without showing us to where we should be seated. She seemed to have an attitude the entire time. Once we were finally seated we asked for the bottles that we purchased and they stated they were out of every bottle that we requested. Then the bottles they did have were 60 dollars extra. The waitress stated that they are not normally open on Sunday’s. I could not understand this because it was super bowl Sunday so that should have been better prepared. Not blaming the waitress for anything because she was very nice and had no control over what was going on. But I will not be returning to this barnacles ever again! I was warned not to go to this location and should have listened.
Dont know why they were serving drinks in plastic cups during the Falcons game on Sunday...I opted to try the Salmon...slightly overcooked...veggies and rice were goot. Ive also noticed that the dining area has been pretty much converted to accommodate the club scene...
When I say I had a good time at this place. The music is good hit after, hit after hit. The drinks are good and the food aint bad. They also have a pool table there. Great atmosphere.
False advertisement on flyer it says free before 12 on Friday but its 10. Restrooms are disgusting the hand dryers dont work in either restrooms. Ive been coming here for 15 years and this place has went down. Prices have went up and drinks are watered down. We seen a roach on the wall. My friend said when she came the lady at the front taking the money had bad attitude. They have to do better.
Friday Night was laid back with a nice size crowd. Sat Nights it was jam packed and DJ was on point. This place has pool tables and an outdoor patio. I enjoyed myself
I wish I had thought to take pictures but two long Island ice teas later and thought didnt cross my mind, lol. Great for a Vibe evening. The food was great. We got hot wings. It was perfectly balanced with crispness and softness. The flavor was hot lemon pepper and was spicy but tangy. They was not stingy with the alcohol in my long Island iced teas The music flowed nicely so if you wanted to dance, you could The only problem was the bathroom. No tissue. Only paper towels, which is bad for the pipelines and too harsh for private areas. Luckily I had my own flushable wipes so I was good. Plenty of parking space. Paid $10 to get in on a Friday.
If youre looking to leave smelling like cigarette and weed this is the place for u. If youre looking for a chill vibe with good music and s nice atmosphere this is not the place. Maybe I was too boujee for this establishment but this crowd was not what I was expecting good the area.
Service level has went downhill over the years..was in pool room area there was a waitress who came in the area a couple of times..never greeted my party or anyone else..I finally stopped her and asked if we could place a drink order and was told I would have to go upfront to the bar. I go upfront to place my order and was told they were out of several top shelf liquors on a Friday night. The drinks I did receive were small and over priced. 9.95 for a small cup that wasnt filled. They were out of oysters had to order a different meal. They also added their own gratuity of almost 10.00 on the bill which was 35.00 and it definitely shouldnt have been added since I never had a waitress. Pool room was hot and so filled with cigarette smoke that it was hard to breathe. I wont be back.
Great spot to hangout with your spouse and friends. The music is everything and the drinks and food are very reasonable on price. Go visit for yourself. Thanks guys for making my weekend GREAT!
The steak is very good for 10.99 and two sides. Drinks are good.
Its ok, but its for a younger crowd. They smoke everything in there. They dont care either. Its $20 go park n $20 to get in and its not worth any of that. It was not crowded but it was not a place that I would go or the type of club I would frequent. Whatever your choice of smoke you do, you can do it in there. If you are one of those people. Music was ok nothing rememberable.
We went to Barnacles during the week for a happy hour drink. They have pitcher specials of three or four mixed drinks. I wasnt impressed by the drinks. They tasted like it was just the mix and no alcohol at all. If youve been here before in the early 2000s, you havent missed anything because its the exact same. The best thing is theres no smoking in the inside anymore. The outside seating area needs to be cleaned and pressure washed. Its dusty and full of pollen so its not cleaned daily and your clothes will be dirty if you sit outside. The the music was decent and the wings are good but not the best in Gwinnett County. 🤷🏾♀️
Nice Vibe To Go And Have A Good Time Always Packed
They charged an 18% gratuity on two people. It was just my girlfriend and I. Service kinda dry but the girl was nice and the food was good. Drinks were really strong. I felt bad for the girl because the business is screwing her out of making any extra tips when they automatically charge one on there.Terrible idea to force gratuity on a party of 2. Never seen that in my life.
THIS IS MY THIRD TIME HERE and the service was HORRIBLE I asked for Steak MEDIUM RARE I received a fully cooked steak tough and the bartender had the audacity to ask do I want him to put it back on the grill I’m like ma’am this steak is over cooked now let’s get to the Asian bartender she was soo rude no emotions she actually changed the channel when I came in the game was on .. I believe this is a good establishment BUT your servers are not I had an amazing steak twice here before i discussed thats I wanted to be offered a new steak or I should have been comped something but again your bartenders was horrible they don’t care at all .. will be telling people to go elsewhere in Sunday’s or any days I hope management can reach lot to me because I spent money I also ordered wings smh this is unexceptable ‼️‼️‼️
Went to watch a boxing match..service was good. The wings we got were seasoned well and tasty.
Clearly this place is struggling to stay open. Not only are the wings getting smaller by the day but if you spend $20 or more youre automatically charged a18% gratuity added on to your bill. Also the music is way too loud (forget about talking to your friend beside you) and choice of music doesnt match their crowd. Majority of people that go there are 30 and over. Never will go here again.
They charge $20 at the door but will let you in for 10 🤣 this place used to be a nice cool spot to get a beer and watch the game but idk what is going on now!
Great drinks great food...
Please update your hours. Google said you opened today at 4pm (Monday). Your door says you open at 2pm. I got there at 5pm, you were closed.
Nice atmosphere! Good drinks, good music. Only thing was the sound system messed up and the music was off for a few mins. Otherwise I had a great time! Ill definitely be back with my people!
Bartender has skills she was able to make a way out of whatever she used lol. Spacious, no pool table hogs, waitress super attentive, well return.
Great atmosphere ... just lacking beer of draff
Clearly this place is struggling to stay open. Not only are the wings getting smaller by the day but if you spend $20 or more youre automatically charged a18% gratuity added on to your bill like they are a luxury club. They have more supposedly V.I.P booths than actual seats and the place is always empty shrugs. Also the music is way too loud (forget about talking to your friend beside you) and choice of music doesnt match their crowd. Majority of people that go there are 30 and over. Never will go here again.
They remodeled it looks really nice. I had fun time the DJ the drinks and the food was on point. I love the vibe its so chill but you can definitely have a good timeand the tables are not piled up on top of each other so you have enough room for your group to chill, dance, eat ext. You should definitely check it out. 2 dollar Tuesdays, Thursdays be nice (I only been twice on Thurs. ) and a course Saturdays. Oh yah! The crowd is mature I think thats what sold me. But definitely check it out for yourself.
The reviews had me very skeptical. My first time here on a Saturday. We arrived around 11:30 pm, easy parking, no wait at the door, $5 entry and there was plenty of seating. The pool table area was a bit smellier than the rest of the bar, but I dont smoke cigarettes so Im sure that was the cause. Our first bartender (young lady) was very friendly, precise and made a great Sex on the Beach. The second bartender (the guy closer to the hookah area) seemed irritated and made a drink that was super watered down. No drama, which was great. Didnt try the hookah or food, but looking to return soon .
Drinks are strong!! I had loaded fries (w/o bacon) and they were really good, just took them extra long to remove my bacon i guess.. (my company got theirs way before i did) DJ was doing his thang on the 1s and 2s, i enjoyed it! No one was really dancing, just sitting around but i enjoyed myself. I dont particularly like how they charge my card twice (once for the total bill including the tip) then again just the tip and then reverse the tip. So next visit il will brew cash only for me. I will be visiting again!
It was My Bday so me n a couple of Fam. members attended at last minute. It was ok for the most part. Good vibes,music cudve been a lil better,ova all I enjoyed myself.
Barnacles is an Awesome get away! Its a sociable friendly environment! Great Drinks, Catering Bartenders and Servers! Last but not least Dj Hollywood is everything on the 1s & 2s💃🏽💃🏽💃🏽
I went to barnacles for my birthday party on Friday the 8th of February. Although the music and vibes were good and I did enjoy myself after a few drinks, the service was severely lacking. Our first waitress took our drink order and didn’t return for about 20 minutes. When she finally showed back up I asked her to keep my tab open (because obviously we just got here, it’s my birthday and we plan to party) she said she had too many tabs open and she needed to close the tab now. When she returned we asked her for a menu and she never came back. My guests arrived and I then had to go to the bar and get a menu myself after waiting another 15 minutes for her to return. When no one returned to our table my guests went to the bar to order drinks themselves. We managed to flag down a second waitress to order food from. She took our order and then 10 minutes later before our food even got to the table she brings us the check and says we need to close our tab and pay for the food now. BEFORE WE EVEN RECEIVED THE FOOD! We refused to do so without first checking the quality of our food. When the food arrived one of the side orders was wrong. We asked for loaded fries and got potato skins the waitress then said she would fix it and brought out the wrong thing again. This time it was just fries so she said she would have them make proper loaded fries and redid the check. NOT ONLY DID THEY TRY TO MAKE US PAY BEFORE WE GOT OUR FOOD THEY GOT THE ORDER WRONG TWOCE AND CHARGED US FOR BOTH POTATO SKINS AND FRIES! I will probably not go back to thant barnacles but I will try a different one. I give them a 3.5 because the service was terrible but the food, drinks and DJ were good.
Good night, great environment, had to keep paying to get back in. Not fair to customers. Also lady collecting entrance fee had an attitude and kept charging to come in and out
Barnacles has a reputation. Just because the manager feels like leaving doesn’t mean they have to close as a business. There was still people pulling up and wanting to spend money. Never heard of a bat closing at 10:30 and turning on the lights. But the bartender was AMAZING!
Wow! I hate to put one star bc this was the Worst experience ever At a Bar in my entire life. If you want to spend your money with good conscious, DO NOT go here. We had family members from all over the nation, myself included, come to Barnacles Duluth to bring in the 2020 new year and we were met with discrimination. The man (who seemed to be the manager- black man with bald head) and security was so rude and discriminatory to our family members who are living with disability. They upcharged the prices specifically for those who didn’t seem to fit their mood. There was no assistance available when they kicked my legally blind Aunt of the line and intentionally overlooked her. My family travels the world for holidays to have different experiences, little did we know we would be discriminated against by our own kind. This was not only disappointing but also humiliating. I wish I knew names to report but Your entire staff could use trauma informed training. I understand this is a bar environment but right is right and she specifically was treated very wrong. This is not a way to treat people regardless of what they look or live like. I will make it my mission to make sure this place does better for the next person living with a disability. Very unfair and very ignorant experience we had.
False advertising for verzuz Jeezy & Gucci Mane. Stream was not playing due to no DJ available. Wanted to dine but was advised to pay $25 cash for table with pitcher which is not equivalent to a standard pitcher. Just a mixer jar. How do u expect customers to eat without tables. Might as well omit food menu.
No air... I felt like I was been roasted.
Sat at the bar for 12 minutes unserved by the either of the two bartenders. The night was going smooth until I tried to buy some wings. First and last time at $2 Tuesdays. I didnt expect fantastic service, but some service at least. 2 stars because out of the 4 pitchers we bought and tipped on it wasnt an issue.
I absolutely love this place! The music,the DJ, our hostess Bella was absolutely charming and gracious. Im definitely going back. My guy and I enjoyed every moment. And the food was amazing!!
I thought I was walking into a haunted house. I couldnt even tell if they were closed or just trying to save money on power. Open sign was one but completely dark from outside. Walked in and no one even knew we were there! We left and decided on Bahama breeze instead. Great choice!
Last nights waitress was the worst I have ever experienced at barnecles. My friend and I found a table stood by it for 10 mins before I had to flag her down to clean it off. At that time I asked for a menu and let her know we would be ordering drinks. She came back 2 times after ordering round 1 of drinks saying she couldnt find a menu. 30 mins in she found one. Long story short she was not an attentive waitress, I had to flag her down for everything. The ultimate issue was she over charged both cards by $9 on a split bill. She admitted she charged the wrong amounts after I questioned the bill. Which resulted in a reversal, 2 additional charges to my card and a call about fraud this morning.
Food was dope. The music was dope. Nice crowd. Got a couple games on the pool table. Lots of space and drinks was on point. Charge 20 to get in
They straight if u can get past the robocop a## security guard who wants to feel all on ya
Had a great time. Decent drinks and good music.
Had not been to this location since 2011. Will definitely not return! The decorum was horrible! It was quite obvious that ownership has no desire to keep the place updated. TVs were old and color distorted, carpet look like a herd of cattle had trampled over it. The finish on the bar was scrapped and faded. On top of that, the service sucked. My waitress was more concern with conversing with some friends than servicing my table. Definitely a disappointing MNF!
Average fair ordered the wings they were under cooked for my liking. Sauce was average. Beer however was cold and wait staff polite and courteous.
We went here to watch the Sunday Night game. Big Mistake... We were 3 of 6 there. The Tvs that showed The Simpons btw..were up Super loud. It was very bright to be a bar at night.which was unfortunate as its shows just how unclean and rundown the place really is. The menus were so greasy and gross. Our waitress was Great. The Drinks were disgusting!!! But...on the bright side, the wings and fries were really good. I would never go back though.
Food is great but the waitresses and their attitudes are trash. I literally had to walk around the whole bar to try to order food. Each waitress had a dont talk to me attitude and one even said she didnt want to take my order! I told her Im not going to beg anyone to take my money. They need a whole new staff of energetic and friendly waitresses.
Worst customer service ever! I hate to use this cliche but if I could give them zero stars I would. I know it was crowded and busy but we asked for a menu several times to order some wings. We never got a menu from two separate waitresses. Also the lady walking around with the teddy bears and the plastic roses was a total joke to me. This is NOT that kind of a place. Certainly mot a date night romantic atmosphere! This is the one off of Pleasant Hill. The one in Lithonia is not any better . We came in and the sign said they still had an hour and a half to be open. Nobody acknowledged us didnt talk to us for at least 15 minutes. Then she grudgingly asked if we wanted anything. As she cut off TVs right in our faces. We finally asked what time do you close and thats when we learned they were closing early that evening. Who knew? Still, entirely inappropriate service. A friendly greeting with the early closing info would have been sufficient.
I heard about this place and decided to go. First night at the door a free shot were offered.. I traveled very far and it was well worth it. Very clean. Pool area nice , patios were nice the drinks, food and service were great.... most importantly, the music was the bomb!!! I danced all nite....will travel far to go again
This was a decent spot. It was not to crowded and everyone was having a good time. They had some good music playing and the atmosphere was chill so I’ll be back.
Had a great time. Went three for my sister birthday. Nice. Clean. And a lot of fun. Good drinks
Owner tells customers credit card machine is down so no one is able to pay the bill with a credit card... they are forced to use an ATM that charges a fee so he may get paid in cash. in turn his waitresses suffer because the fee from the ATM. Which is deducted from the waitress tip. Sometimes owners kill their own business
Im no stranger to $2 Tuesdays at this place so this time should be no different, right? The difference is that I came in at 8:45 pm instead the normal 12:45am to order lemon pepper wings and a blue mf. I sat in front of the bar where I was able to view all of the TV screens. At most there were about a dozen customers myself included. I sat at the table all of 11 mins as I watched the waitresses talk, giggle, play amongst each other. I asked the bartender was there a manager available she said stated she was the manager. So I asked you didnt see me here for the past 10 mins? She shrugs and offers the most condescending smile one could offer in a restaurant business. Then says whats the issue I explained that I had been sitting there for 10 mins with no service or acknowledgment. The she said I am NOT the manager gimme a secNo more patronage from me
Friendly service wings were a little to small for me the drinks were OK most of the drinks i like they couldnt make, for some reason they were out of the ingredients all though they changed some thigs around it just doesnt have that old barnacles feel didnt have it with those last owners either.
I would not dine at Barnacles in Duluth Georgia ever! The level of professionalism and customer service definitely lacking here at this establishment! T women there give a bad name to women sometimes when you see women with short skirts on and short shirts youd like to believe that they arent their heads because you dont want to judge by the way one would look shameful. Ive worked in the restaurant industry for over 24 years and I know when a team is not trying to be accommodating and combative with a customer. There was no sympathy in reference to my plight or my concerns with the customer service and the manager was less than professional himself. I have a client waiting for food that was ordered through a third party and Courier Service they refused to allow me to process the transaction although I was here three days ago and was successful in doing so. It seems as if this management team runs off of ego and a facade versus good customer customer service and good business. Its I wonder why there is no one here on a Friday evening and there is no one at the bar.
Gratuity already included in bill. I almost disputed this. The service we got watching Sunday football was below subpar. The food was good but the wait and the waitress was so not cool. But whats $5 when you didnt do $1 worth of effort. Its the principle of value of what is expected when you deal with custimer service. I would never go back here to watch football. I guess the best seat would be the bar.
The place is very big which was nice but the customer service was awful. The food wasnt much better and the drinks was watered down. My friend guy and I made our way to play a game or two of pool where I spotted a pest and it was time to leave at that point. Definitely not on my places to revisit.
You never know when this place is open or closed. I dont know how this place has not shut down completely. Wings and fries are the bomb but I cannot vouche for anything else. I just go there to play pool. Sometimes the sound system is not even working and they have an TouchTunes set up.
Beware!!! I was there last Friday night.. had about 4 Jack and coke and was smoking a hookah and was blowed. Honestly I can handle my liquor but this night wasn’t a typical night. I stood up and Staggered to restroom and call an Uber to take me home. The next morning check my bank and had 6 different charges on my card unauthorized at Barnacles the 3 10.00 charges fell off but the other charges stayed. A week later my card while still in my possession was use at a BP on Jimmy Cater. So BEWARE of using your card there!!! 💯
This used to be a really cool place to watch a game and shoot a game of pool. Unfortunately, they have fallen off considerably. Theres no air conditioning in the pool room, and hasnt been for the last 2 + months. Its ridiculous! If Nancy isnt here, the service is terrible!
I researched and decided stop by. Online and on the door of this establishment states that the hours of business on this particular day (Sundays) are 4pm-12pm. Inside we could see people playing pool and eating. A friend and I tried to open and enter 3x using 3 different entrances that we immediately noticed were chained. We arrived at about 9. No one tried to to attend. I’m pretty disappointed. Going to Applebee’s.
Love this place, the music the atmosphere it’s such a great spot. My bartender Debroh was amazing. Such s great personality and awesome service! Will defiantly be going back just for her.
Only went there with friends to play pool, there was so much smoke of every kind, hookah, weed, cigarettes, cigars, etc. That I threw up...Im sorry, but I cant go back there. Also, everything was cash only. There was a cover charge... its not even a club... go at your own risk, is all I can say. Not my style
Went on a Friday night around 11:30pm and it was dead. DJ absolutely sucked. If you see only one person on the dancefloor you MUST adjust the music you are playing dude. Waste of $5 entry fee. Barnacles is finished!
Its not a bad spot good food fair prices and the music was great. My ONLY complaint or dislike is that they add an 18% gratuity on your (single party) bill with out asking. I always tip and its based on the service I receive, so I hate it when someone tries to dictate what I should tip. Someone is going to say,well not everyone tips . And my response to that is Im not everyone.
Had fun .....will come.back on Sunday to see Mayweather fight ohhhhh forgot this place need a mirror we ladies love dancing in the mirror
The owner is dope the albino bartender is amazing... Music was versatile..Great atmosphere. The door girl had the worst attitude for such a pretty face.
Went by today while in town and unfortunately they were closed. I called the number on the door and the gentleman that answered said they were open.. he must have been referring to the other location in Lithonia. When they’re open you’ll enjoy the food
Will not be back. Prices were higher and the drink was weak. No DJ until after 11 p.m.
New years eve was a bust thanks to this place. Bouncers held the line so long, then kept changing the cover price and then decided to start letting people in 3 seconds before 12:00am!! Used to come to this place everyone we came into town, but this was ridiculous!
Definitely not the same. To much smoking going on in there. And they trying to be like downtown atl the way ots set up. I will not be returning.
A good place to turn up Every Thursday Doors open at 9pm everyone Free till 11pm
Barnacles is Barnacles, nothing super spectacular but a good place to just grab a few drinks at the bar and play pool. Bartender Ricardo was amazing. Very prompt, and made sure I was taken care of. I can say the same for the hookah girl. Special shoutout to the security for handling up on a drunk patron bothering me before I could even say anything. Way to read my body language and act fast.
Had the Best Time this past Saturday -After having a bad experience at (A Wack Establishment) called Theory down the street -I was so Happy To Walk Into Barnacles and see A Nice Crowd of Grown Folks Enjoying Old School Saturday -The Drinks Was Good&Priced Just Right-Ooh That $10. Pitcher of Sex On The Beach was Amazing-The Staff was Attentative&The Dj Was Rocking with Old school&New School Music that I could dance too&Understand the Lyrics lol Ladies It was a nice atmosphere of Men who were Very laid back but got on the dance floor-This is the Place-I will be going Back Soon&Dj I have one requestPlease play some songs All the way thru b/c You Be Jammin!
Good music. POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. Waitress came and dropped menus but never came back. SLOW, waited over 30 mins just to get a drink.
Good atmosphere. DJ dope and the women sexy and great food and drinks
I mean I usually come there for the food but they took the Philly off the menu and changed the wings. I really dont care for the new menu AT ALL. But I love the new look!
In town visiting familyFamily took me therenice atmosphereenjoyed myselfwill go back when I come back to visit againThumbs Up👍
Great atmosphere. Excellent food!!! But most of ALL Caesar and Debra is the BEST bartenders he treat his customers right!!!! And fix the best Bob Marley and Ziggy Marely!!!!!!
Way too expensive. Was charged $75 for 2 buckets of beer
Its basically a African American club. And its so bad that they pat you down before you enter. The food is the same as any other burger joint. And if you ask for silverware be prepared all your going to get is a fork.
If youre looking for a nice rnb/hip-hop vibe with food and drinks... Barnacles can satisfy that urge. Drink specials, food, and hookah works every time for us low key folk.
Service was extremely slow on my food and drinks, had to wait 30 minutes to order and about a hour on wings. Music good and you can smoke in the back where the pool tables are.
The wings were the bomb! Drinks are good depending on who makes them. Some of the waitresses have THE worse attitude ever!!
New manager is very rude. & the system broke so the manager forced us to download cash app to pay. There wasn’t a business cash app we had to send the money to her personal account.
Great place to be if you want to club on Friday or Saturday night or just chill at the bar or shoot pool on a Sunday night. I truly love this place.
The service that i experience here is phenomenal, great drinks , food was amazing the wings are a must and security kept it a safe environment. Thanks Duluth everytime I’m in town this is my go to bar astounding service.
Been going for years but this past Thursday was the worst. Lemon pepper wings came out originally with no seasoning. Then they were brought back out clearly refried and greasy. Manager was not appologetic .
Service is fire. Bottle girls fire. Manager Mika fire. No cap. Pull up if you lookin’ for service w/ a smile.
Overages I didnt know they charge 10 at the door and 20 at 11 or 11 30 and the vip booth is costly the lady told me it was 250 I didnt believe her but it will be the last 10 dollars they get from me
Best drinks and party music and playing pool 🎱
The service was stellar! Food was decent for the price, but the music was terrible. Mostly explicit rap and entirely too loud.
Nice place for a night w the fellas. Good pool tables. Cute waitresses. (not all) Needs a lil upgrading but its ok
Food an drinks are bomb. Staff is friendly. Only downside is bathrooms need more attention.
Horrible service.... We were there 15 minutes and not 1 person came over to our table to take care of us. I will never go back
I met my sisters for a pre-birthday thing, we loved the wings, music, atmosphere and drinks. I think it was like $5 to get in.
Quite boring!! They dont even have a dance floor,lots of t.vs and pool tables.I will NOT be goin back there anytime!!👎🏽😌
Great vibes great food friendly staff always come here with my friends and family
I always enjoyed this place. I like the new setup. I stay close to the Barnacles in Lithionia, but I will drive to this location because I like it better.
It was dead ( no one there) not like the old barnacles but I LOVE the renovations and the food was great as always!
I love their lemon pepper wings and the bar provides good music vibes.
Had a great time , nice mature crowd , and waitresses were friendly , the staff was great
The food was delicious, $2 drinks/shots on Tuesdays. The crowd was light. The food came quickly.
Amazing food and great service! Highly recommended I’ll definitely come back !!!!
Chill place to grab a drink and watch games, play pool, throw some songs on the jukebox. Most people wore masks here, thats a plus for me!
Great music and drinks, reasonable cover charge #AllStarWeekend
Love international night on Friday. Its a laid-back crowd. Great music, great food.
$50 tables on weekends for what? There is never anything going on.
I love this Ive been here coming here for years. the new renovations look nice looking forward to the word getting out and football season.
Waitress horrible, not attentive, very careless in order and tab accuracy. Did not take ownership mistakes.
Favorite place in gwinnett. I no longer live in the area but its my number #1 bar choice
They recently remodeled the place and the atmosphere is totally different from how it used to be..It has a more upscale feel to it
I had a wonderful time at barnacles The drinks were absolutely delicious and I owe it all to my bartender Tamera Jesus Christ I will definitely be back 😋
Nice atmosphere.. Good crowd... Good music... Inexpensive drinks
It’s pretty much for a older crowd
The renovations look great. Love to play pool here and get a cold beer🍺
Fun time playing pool. They didnt have water. I went for a boxing weigh in.
Saturday nights the best place in Gwinnett for music, drinks, hooka, pool, and great social scene.
Nice played back atmosphere, the ladies were awesome( bartenders) but the male staff was very rude.
Bangin DJ, great food and atmosphere! Been going there 20 + years
Sign said open but it was closed. Why not just turn off the sign?
Drinks are on Point, atmosphere ok, they play videos. Small crowd, food is on point!
Only a few food choices. Waitress was nice.
Nice spot good music prefer Friday night because of the music! Live in ny like this hookah spot!
I enjoy going to this because its affordable and there chicken nachos are the best. They need more wait staff though.
Had a great time great atmosphere great food and drinks
Food is great ; but I went In for drinks and they gave me flat soda .... music is outdated and sounds like it’s played on a loop.
Celebrated my girlfriends BDay here, decent VIP section and DJ
This is a good chill spot. Great music and drinks

Been going here for years. Great place to play pool. Bartenders are friendly
Not as lively as I remember, music always stay the same, food decent got rid of bad waitresses
Havent been in years but was just as fun as before. I love the remodel.
This is NOT the spot for anyone over 30!!! Drinks were so-so & the waitresses look HORRIBLE...even they didnt want to be there.
Cool place to go to. The food is not bad. Alcohol is sold here.
Not what it used to be but hey the drinks are still solid and the service girls are nice
I went here and was overcharged for drinks. The bartenders are horrible. I’ve attended busier clubs where the service was A1.
First time here and the vibe and the girls were great..I must come back

2022-05-03I went here for my birthday this past Friday night and I had the time of my life. The bartender constantly made sure all of our needs were very well taken care of. The pineapple long islands she made me were so good I wanted to hug her. She provided some of the best service I have had in a long time. I would also like to commend the other bartenders for working as a team to make sure everyone was taken care of. The cook made my bbq wings to prefection. I hope the owner appreciates the great employees.

2022-06-12The bartender was so lazy. She kept walking around at a snails pace and then sounded bored when asking me about my drink, if i wanted another one, wanted to cash out, etc. Monica didnt want to be there. She deserved no tip big she got 12%.

2021-12-06Dine in with my hubby. I was looking for a calm evening which it didnt disappoint. Small crowd while watching the game. We enjoyed the wings, southwest rolls and fries. For the small size of fries it could have been priced better. Great long islands! 1.Disappoint came with the already added gratuity for a party if 2. No signs that we noticed about this. 2. Waitress no personality but nice. We did have to look for her a couple if times.

2021-08-28Atmosphere was cool. Clearly going for a club vibe which is fine but not my scene these days. My issue was $13 for a rum and coke served in a 6oz to go cup. What is that? I got the sense she charged me that because I decided to leave after one drink but who knows for sure.

2021-10-26Its was ok, the waitress could have been more attentive, she kept passing us up and going to everyone else table. We had to get her if we want something else. The food was delicious though.
