Barq's® Root Beer September 2026
Barq's Root Beer for the standard US build. Your Wendy’s may charge more or less.
Barq's Root Beer as it is usually served. Plating varies by restaurant.
Wendy’s Barq’s® Root Beer is a classic soft drink with bold, spicy-sweet flavor and just the right amount of fizz. Served ice-cold, it’s a refreshing soda with a little bite. Enjoy it alongside burgers, nuggets, or fries for a nostalgic drink with a rich, old-fashioned taste.
Wendy’s Barq’s® Root Beer delivers that classic root beer taste with a bold twist. It’s fizzy, dark, and full of that spicy-sweet flavor root beer fans love. What sets Barq’s® apart is its signature “bite” - a slightly sharper edge than other root beers - which makes each sip feel extra refreshing and full of personality.
At Wendy's-Menu, we think Barq’s® Root Beer is a great pick for anyone looking for a nostalgic soda with a bit of boldness. Whether you’re enjoying a Dave’s Single®, spicy nuggets, or a crispy chicken sandwich, this root beer adds a unique layer of flavor to your Wendy’s meal. It balances well with both savory and sweet foods, and it’s especially satisfying with a side of fries or a Frosty®.
Because it’s caffeine-free, it’s also a great option any time of day, even for younger guests. The fizz and flavor make it more than just a drink - it’s a classic part of the meal experience.
If you’re craving a soda that’s different from the usual cola or citrus options, Wendy’s Barq’s® Root Beer brings bold flavor and a fizzy kick you’ll enjoy every time.
