I believe it's been around in this incarnation since the 1980s. Frank Barrett passed away in 2019, but it is still family-owned.

I was surprised to not find an existing dedicated thread for this place (or I suck at searching).

Is Castle Barrett still open as an event venue? Everything about the place seems stale. The FB page for it hasn't been posted to since 2014, there's only one Yelp review, the latest Google review is from 3 years ago. I know The B Bar moved in, but I thought that was just in a portion of it. Anyone know?

Interesting... Probably because its mentioned in the Best Pork Tenderloin Thread, Best Cheesesteak Thread, Best Burger thread, etc...

I thought Castle Barrett was upstairs and the B Bar was downstairs? I have been to Barrett's hundreds of times but I have never been to Castle Barrett or the B Bar.

Castle Barrett is the building to the west. Both the Castle and Barrett's have 2 floors.

I get that, but in the west building, I though Castle Barrett was the upstairs, door on the south, and the B Bar was in the basement, door facing the volleyball court. But I have never been in that building, just what I observe leaving the parking lot.

I hope the statute of limitations has run out but in the 70s when I was in high school they didn't check IDs. A few others as well. Fun place.

The B Bar is a separate building next to Bronco’s.

That's Leavenworth Bar

You are correct

You’re right, I was confused.

I've only been in there for special events - open as a "Barrett's extension" during St Paddy's, CWS, etc. Also a private party or two. I don't think either Castle or B Bar have regular hours

The B Bar has regular hours, but the Castle upstairs and the party room in the basement next to B Bar are just event spaces.

But is it still? Like I said, everything about Castle Barrett online is stale. Maybe they're just no longer for public rental and only used for Barret's internal events(?).

I just drove by Castle Barrett and the lights inside were on. The door on the south that empties out on to Leavenworth Street has sandbags in front of it. After that flood a few years back, both buildings have sandbags ready to go. I forgot there is a second door on the east side to the upper floor.
