Awesome bartenders and amazing regulars. The pizza is the best you can get outside of Chicago. A bar you will never be disappointed with.

Good beer, friendly bar tender, but asked me to remain outside because of my 19 year old son. I think they should reconsider the age requirements to be a patron to dine inside.

Walked in looking forward to cold draft and pizza, couldn’t get any service. Felt like I walked into someone else’s party and no one invited me… looked at a menu, asked for help, eventually left to go to Fav’s across the street and had some amazing pizza. Go down the street to Fav’s

If you find you’re self stuck with the drunk munchies while you’re downtown Bradenton one night, I HIGHLY recommend that you stumble down Main Street to loaded barrel. The pizza here is out of this world. You can order cheese or pepperoni by the slice. Or you can order a whole pizza if you want different topping options. It’s honestly a must try if you are in Bradenton. My mouth is watering just writing this review. It’s also a pretty popular bar on the weekends. So have a beer while you’re waiting for your pizza to cook.

Go at least once a week. The pizza is awesome. The service, especially Carlee, is friendly and helpful. Excellent selection of beer and liquor. Atmosphere is laid back and casual. Music caters to a grand variety. Easily the best bar in Bradenton sarasota area

I call me I want me to be grew up in New York and I can tell you that this is the best pizza in all of Florida. No matter what kind you get it’s fantastic. They lose two stars for smelling like a wet ashtray.

Being a local, I have a few different pizza places that I have always gone to religiously. Unfortunately, these guys are not open around 12 AM — 1 AM and as I am unwilling to do the regular «Domino’s» or «Papa John’s» options, I was out of options in my quest for late-night pizza.
Fortunately for me, a friend recommended the Loaded Barrel. I was under the impression that it was just a regular Downtown Bradenton bar, but he insisted the pizza was worth a trip. He was so right!! We just got a pepperoni pizza, but it may have been the tastiest one I’ve had in awhile! The crust was delightful and the blend of herbs mixed in with the sauce and cheese was absolutely delicious.
Next time I won’t wait around until midnight to get pizza here, this might just be my new go-to!

I stopped in for a beer and received top notch service. I’m not used to smoking in bars being from Nashville but adjusted quickly to that. They had a great selection of beers to include local stuff. I saw several people eating the pizza but didn’t try it. Very reasonably priced on the beer. The local tangerine wheat beer was excellent.

Love the specialty pizzas here. All the pies are consistently great, however, the weekly specials are out of sight. I’m in Sarasota quite often on business and always make it a point to stop by early in the week to see what these guys have cooking for that week.
I’ve had a bunch of them, however I still dream of the pulled pork pizza with coleslaw. The slaw comes on the side, but the ticket is to dump it on top. Amazing! I never would have thought it would work but it’s incredible. Sadly, since the specialty pies are for that week only, I guess I’ll just have to continue to lobby to bring it back.
Not sure what happened to the other reviewer, every time I’ve been here I’ve felt like I was one of the family. It’s definitely a fresh break from the other places around in the area.

The bartender was very attentive to me, but very rude to my fiancé. The pizza is okay. There’s a little modern jukebox on the wall and there’s a TV or 2 on the wall behind the bar. If it weren’t for the bartender we’d probably come back.

Good little spot. Nice people behind the bar, varied beers, good specials, and tasty pizza.
