About
Our team, November 2019.
In 2010, born and raised Austinite, Bryce Gilmore opened Barley Swine with a commitment to support regional farmers and ranchers by utilizing the fruits of their labor in every single dish we serve.
Our continually changing menu is inspired by ingredient availability and the aspirations of Bryce Gilmore and his band of chefs. We strive to be creative and have fun in the hopes our guests will also share in our excitement. Barley Swine is a place to celebrate the love of food and drink by gathering with friends and family for a unique dining experience driven by the hospitality and passion of our staff. We take great pride in the values which guide our operation, and we hope to continue growing and supporting the local food community.
Barley Swine Goes Carbon Neutral!
We work closely with ZeroFoodprint, a nonprofit organization dedicated to helping restaurants and diners understand and reduce their effect on climate change. With their assistance, we study and measure the impact of our operations and ingredients—then work to make improvements that reduce our carbon emissions. We consider everything from where we source our ingredients to designing our menus and the equipment we use to cook. Emissions that operational improvements cannot eliminate are offset with credits created by sustainable food-related projects worldwide. Along with our good friends over at Emmer & Rye, we strive to encourage other Texas restaurants to source ethically and spend consciously on our food systems.
