Our Story
Adam and Eric covering the Southeast Asian Tsunami together in Thailand in 2005
The toast and drink that led to BarnHouse... thanks Rick Leventhal for getting married. :)
Everyone and every friendship has a story and this one is no different... or maybe it is?
Eric Barnes and Adam Housley (BarnHouse) first met 18 years ago while reporting around the globe for Fox News. Together they've got more than 50 years of experience in covering the news and have reported and witnessed history together from places like Thailand, Japan, Haiti, Korea, Venezuela and across America. They've both spent considerable time in the Middle East and Europe and love to travel the globe with their friends and family in their free time. They also enjoyed coffee together in many of those locations.
Eric eventually cruised with Lindblad/National Geographic Expedition around the Galapagos Islands and Alaska and Central America and Adam returned home to start a wine tasting room, run a winery and coach baseball and soccer. At a friends wedding the idea of coffee and BarnHouse became a reality. They both enjoy people, pubs, tea and coffee and Napa Valley needed one... with beer and wine as well.
The Design
When it came time to design and build-out the coffee pub, there's nobody better than Alexis Fields-Jackson and Adam's wife Tamera Mowry-Housley. Both ladies are well known actresses and have been friends since they were kids on a sound stage and both are amazing when it comes to style.
The remodel took about three months with everyone hands-on with Kennedy Construction, Chaz Kuhn Electric, Dave Savens Plumbing, Jorge at JG Masonry and Josh Eichner again with the fantastic tile work. The same crew that made Housley Napa Valley just 4 doors down.
Barnhouse Brews opened its doors in October of 2021 and our proud to provide quality coffee priced for locals.

Highly enthusiastic professional with over 10 years of experience in the Napa Valley Hospitality and communication industry. My passion for providing the best experience to locals and tourists alike has opened the doors to tackle and execute major projects with success. Amongst these is assisting in the construction and management of Barnhouse Napa Brews. Building a business from the ground up and proceeding to becoming a manager that monitors employees, expenses, and events is value I've been fortunate to provide to one of the fastest growing companies in Napa.

Lead Barista
A local coffee and beer enthusiast! “C-loz” has been a vital part of the Barnhouse family since day zero. His artistic vision on our menu boards and latte’s quickly became a staple at the pub so much so that he now even hosts Paint Nights at Barnhouse.
Passionate about outstanding customer service and kindness, he’ll make your visit a pleasant one.
