Great place for drinks and food in NOTL area! The patio is beautiful with trees and lights. We planned our visit to enjoy the patio during day and hopefully witness a sunset! It was magical! The host was attentive and also came to check in if everything was going well! Our server-Pam was amazing! Overall had an awesome time.

Really nice spot on a vineyard — super chill vibe! The service was amazing, everyone was super friendly. Pizza’s were really good, the gelato was delicious, and the icewine cocktails were a great surprise. Definitely recommend stopping by if you’re in the area!

We were on our way to Niagara on the lake and decided to stop here with no expectations. We were incredibly happy and surprised by the quality of the food, the beautiful patio, and the nice service. We went for the Sweat Heat pizza and the Peach of mind salad, plus the wood oven bread. The sauce on the pizza was super rich, the cheese was just the right amount, and the toppings worked so great together. They chilli oil was a nice touch and the patio was just beautiful. A very pleasant surprise and highly recommended!

This place was recommended by our bartender at the hotel we are staying and I am so happy he did. Not sure if there is always a live band, but there was tonight and it made the night even better!! Food and drinks were exceptional! Service was nothing short of amazing and the atmosphere was everything and more!! Ended up being one of my favorite memories for our visit here to Canada! We were able to catch a nice view of the sun setting as well, which just added to the experience. Highly recommend!!!

If you're looking for a memorable dining experience, Barrel Head Winery is the place to be, and much of that is thanks to Dante. As our dinner server, he went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and well taken care of. His attentive, friendly service and genuine warmth made the evening feel personal and special. Dante was always there when we needed him, offering helpful recommendations and ensuring that every detail of our meal was perfect. His professionalism and upbeat attitude truly elevated the entire experience. If you’re lucky enough to have Dante as your server, you’re in for an unforgettable evening!

Best Pizza. Delicious. And the wine awesome. If you are looking some mapple souvenirs, this is the best place to do it. Prices are great in comparison from other places.

Me and my girlfriend had a great time visiting BarrelHead near Niagara-on-the-lake. We were hoping to get a seat on the patio but didn’t luck out on that because of the rain and weather condition. The atmosphere inside is cozy and the staff are super enjoyable. The wood oven-style pizza is a must try! Although they did serve my pizza with “no sauce” even though I didn’t ask for it, they were super quick and fast to ask to change my order, which I did decline and enjoyed it how it was! Super delicious, fresh ingredients, nice and light too. They have a nice selection of drinks, wines, and cocktails. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a nice lunch/dinner spot to enjoy in the region and soak in the environment!
