“We have always talked about owning a real bar,” said Ingrid. “So we were really excited when an opportunity opened up in Estes Park to build The Barrel.”

They see The Barrel as a fun and inviting place for folks to stop in for a pint or two; whether it’s after a long hike in Rocky Mountain National Park, during a shopping break or before having dinner downtown.

“We want The Barrel to be a place where people can embrace the Colorado lifestyle that we love so much,” said Ingrid.

Ingrid’s professional background is in marketing and event production and Lou is a tax accountant. When they aren’t working they enjoy spending time with friends and family.
