We were sitting at Rossi's Pizza in Orlando enjoying what we thought was the best well rounded craft beer selection in the city. (I realize Redlight, Redlight has great Belgium beer.) A gentleman next to use suggested that if we liked craft beer we should try Gnarly Barley. We finished our beers, paid the tab and walked into Gnarly Barley about 10 minutes later. We are now overjoyed to know 2 really good craft beer bars in Orlando. Gnarly Barley has 16 taps all devoted to great craft beer. The generally have several Cigar City beers and others from Green Flash, Dog Fish Head, Brooklyn Brewing and several imports. The owners are also eager to help select beers as needed and to talk about the craft beer scene in general.

The Gnarly Barley is not big but very laid back. Its a place that makes you feel at home with a bar and tables inside and a patio out back that should be a great place to kick back with a brew in the Spring and Fall. Food menus is generally pub grub with an emphasis on house specialty tacos. We didn't eat but the food looked and smelled great. I think the website is pretty accurate as to food and beer selection.

We will certainly be going back to The Gnarly Barley the next visit of Orlando and encourage you to give it a try as well.
