NEVER FORGET...

"September 11 is one of our worst days but it brought out the best in us. It unified us as a country and showed our charitable instincts and reminded us of what we stood for and stand for." – Senator Lamar Alexander

"One of the worst days in America's history saw some of the bravest acts in Americans' history. We'll always honor the heroes of 9/11. And here at this hallowed place, we pledge that we will never forget their sacrifice."

- President George W. Bush.

THANK YOU… THANK YOU… THANK YOU!

The hospitality industry has been hit tremendously hard during this pandemic, with most establishments making major operational adjustments just to survive and too many places closing their doors for good… and it’s not over yet.  However, we understand that the difficult times affect everyone, so the Pub has committed to keep the menu pricing the same as it was before COVID-19.  We are hoping to weather the storm but could not do it without YOU, our loyal customers.  On behalf of the entire Pub staff we sincerely appreciate your patronage and will strive to always do our best.

August 26, 2020

Since the COVID-19 shutdown it has been necessary to limit our food menu.  However, as of today we are pleased to announce that our menu has been revised and offerings have significantly expanded!  Please check out the Menus page for all the info, and/or you can download a PDF copy.

Additionally, we will be starting up an all-new (and longer) HAPPY HOUR effective next week!  Stay tuned for details.

Sorry for the lack of updates lately, there just hasn't been much additional news to report.  However, on behalf of all the Pub staff we want to pass along a heartfelt THANK YOU to all our patrons who have been regularly stopping in to drink, eat and hang around with friends.  You are keeping us going through these remarkably tough times and we wanted to let you know it's been greatly appreciated... more than you could ever imagine!

The Village of Barrington and Barrington Area Chamber of Commerce have two great summertime events planned for this weekend.  Please click on the links for more info:

Sizzling Sale Days, Thursday July 23rd - Saturday July 25th.
 

2020 Barrington Wine Walk, Saturday July 25th, 2 PM - 6 PM.  As we do every year, the Pub is participating!

July 19, 2020

We've had several inquiries from both our patrons and entertainers about when we'll start having bands back at the Pub.  With limited space inside and COVID-19 restrictions we need to figure out a way to do it safely and within the rules that our state government has mandated.  Plus it has to make financial sense for both the Pub and the entertainers, since only being allowed to have significantly smaller groups of people makes it difficult to generate the necessary amount of income.  Most likely we’ll start using the The Loft (our second level) again as that has more open space and a larger stage, so we could properly accommodate a reasonable amount of people on a first-come, first served basis.  Stay tuned for details; info will be posted here and on our Facebook page as it becomes available.

July 18, 2020

Tomorrow (Sunday July 19) we will be showing the FA Cup finals match between Manchester United and Chelsea, which starts at noon.  $4 Heineken 20oz drafts is our MUFC match day special - good all day long - plus we have several other weekend food specials available (see the right side of this page for details).

July 14, 2020

BEER ME TUESDAY IS BACK!  This has been a popular daily special for quite a while, and with all ou handles back online we wanted to extend this special once again to all our patrons.  It's $1 off ALL our draft beers, $1 off select craft bottles & cans and Beer Flights.  Visit our specials page for details.  Enjoy!

July 13, 2020

Manchester United vs. Southampton today at 2 PM.  As a reminder, we feature as an MUFC match day special $4 Heineken 20oz drafts!

July 8, 2020

UPDATE - the Village of Barrington resolved the water main issue for the downtown area, so as of 1:30 PM we are open again for business.  Thank you for your patience!

ALERT - WE ARE TEMPORARILY CLOSED DUE TO A VILLAGE WATER MAIN BREAK. This is in effect as of today (Wednesday July 8th) and affects the entire Village of Barrington.  Please check back with us here or on our Facebook page for updates as they become available. We apologize for the inconvenience and hope to be up & running later today.

July 6, 2020

Effective today we will again be putting daily specials on our main page (to the right).  In the not-too-distant future some additional specials will return (Happy Hour, etc) and our menu will expand.  Stay tuned for details!

July 3, 2020

Happy 4th of July Weekend!  Unfortunately there won't be many Independence Day celebrations this year, but starting today and through Sunday the Pub will take up the slack a bit and load up this weekend with some great food & drink specials!  Please see the right side of this page for details.

The weather should be fantastic, so our 50+ outdoor seating area will suit most people well.  If you'd rather stay out of the heat, we do of course have limited dining space inside.  Sorry, no bands are scheduled but once we can open at a more regular capacity we'll bring 'em back!

June 26, 2020

As of today we are "officially open for business" (on a limited capacity) inside the Pub!  Keep in mind we have The Loft (our great second level) whch can accommodate additional patrons, along with our Vault seating and mezzanine areas.  More good news - our expanded outdoor seating will remain intact for the foreseeable future, so we should alwasy have plenty of available seating options.  All info & updates will be posted here and on our Facebook page.  We sincerely thank all our patrons for your patience and ongoing support... this is a big step towards getting back to normal!
