Take a break from your kitchen and step into ours! Come check out what is sure to be Lemont’s newest neighborhood gem! With our newly remodeled bar and dining area, you will be welcomed with a relaxed atmosphere that is classy, comfortable, and family friendly! Barrel & Vine’s concept is simple, fresh eats paired with artisanal crafted cocktails. Our restaurant’s concept was started by a local Lemont couple that grew up in the restaurant industry and developed a passion for the business. We fell in love with historic downtown Lemont where we moved and started our family. Executive Chef Julio Nunez has put together a fun and stylish New American menu with a creative twist from his scratch kitchen.
“Had an awesome experience at Barrel & Vine. Sat at the bar and immediately loved the atmosphere — the bourbon and wine selection behind the bar is seriously impressive and gives the place a great upscale feel without being pretentious. The bartenders were friendly, attentive, and very knowledgeable about both the drink menu and food recommendations. Service was quick, conversational, and consistent the entire time I was there. The food was excellent as well. The Caesar salad with grilled chicken was fresh and perfectly balanced, and the pierogi appetizer was absolutely outstanding — great flavor and cooked perfectly. Everything tasted fresh and made with care. You can tell this place takes pride in both the food and hospitality. Great drinks, great atmosphere, great service, and great food.”
“Excellent experience. Seated in 35 mins without a reservation. Calamari & crab cake were great Wagyu ribeye cooked perfectly. Drinks on point. Amanda was outstanding. Kid-friendly — will definitely be back.”
“Such a nice suprise after an improvised walking tour of the historic sites along the Sag Canal on a greay rainy day. This warm, inviting bistro up front, booths in the back spot had us happily enjoying a full bodied red paired with a savory crab cake starter in no time. Staff on every level was kind and just attentive enough so we could enjoy ourselves away for our half day excursion. The portobello steak was well receieved and devoured with a smile, the Burrata salad with steak on the side was more than enough to warm us up. It's really wonderful to find a location like this when you don't expect it. Go check out Barrel & Vine for yourself and see what we mean.”
“We had such a great experience at Barrel & Vine this past Sunday for brunch with the family. The atmosphere was warm and welcoming, the service was attentive without being overbearing, and everything felt relaxed and enjoyable. The ribeye steak sandwich was absolutely amazing — perfectly cooked, flavorful, and easily one of the best brunch items I’ve had in a while. It’s clear they care about quality and creating a great dining experience. Highly recommend Barrel & Vine if you’re looking for a spot to enjoy great food and spend quality time with family. We’ll definitely be back!”
