Inspired by the permanent line of customers at The Walrus and the Carpenter, its trio of owners (Renee Erickson, Chad Dale, and Jeremy Price) opened Barnacle, a European-themed aperitivi bar right next door, where people can sip and snack while they wait. Start with a wine-centric drinks list, including great amaros, vermouths, and sherries. Add bites that nod to the Walrus’s focus on great local seafood, like octopus terrine and sardines with caper salsa verde, and waiting turns into something downright enjoyable. Just don’t get too attached; your table at Walrus will eventually be ready.
