The Barrel a music festival

Barrel, 23715 Malibu Rd, Malibu, CA
This place is a fun hangout and people come here for many different reasons, among them: drinking and singing. Wednesday’s are karaoke nights and happy hours are on Monday through Friday from 5pm to 7pm. People in general think that Malibu is a place for the rich and the unfriendly; however, the Barrel attracted a pleasant crowd from Malibu and other locations. People were friendly and polite, especially the males, they smiled and danced all night long like the Barrel was a music festival. Damian, a friendly guy, introduced me to his friends and told me lots of interesting stories. Doug his friend, danced with me and he sang about six karaoke songs before he got drunk. I loved the fact that the venue is a casual environment; beach wear is the most common and flip-flops are the shoe of choice. The Barrel is a vacation spot for anybody that wants a place to talk and relax. Chris, a regular, told me that he lives at a motel nearby and he also said he spoke Spanish fluently. Afterwards, he kept repeating “Telemundo” continually. Unfortunately, the time went fast at the Barrel and in the blink of an eye it was time to go home. The Barrel is more than a happy hangout; rather it’s a place with good spirits.
