Celebrate our FOUR YEAR ANNIVERSARY with us today, we're serving up 20oz pints of three of our most popular beers - Guinness, Harp & Smithwick's - for just $4 each (nicely fits the four year theme).   Obviously the big celebration is the upcoming Barrington Celtic Fest, but this is just our little way of saying THANK YOU for all your support!

March 7, 2014

With all the excitement of the annual Barrington Celtic Fest, what's sometimes overlooked is the anniversary of the Pub.  As of Sunday March 9th we will have officially been open FOUR YEARS!  The real celebration happens over St. Patrick's Day weekend, but we'll do a few special things to celebrate our business this Sunday.  Stay tuned! 

March 1, 2014

Our Beer of the Month for March is Stella Artois.  Belgium brewed, it's a Euro Pale Lager at 5.00% ABV.  It's also one of our more popular beers on tap.  Drafts are just $3.50 through the entire month.  Enjoy!

We're pleased to announce that we have on tap - for a VERY limited time - Bell's Hopslam Ale.  It's an American Double/Imperial IPA, 10.0% ABV and rated at an amazing 100% by Beer Advocate.   Apparently we are the only establishment in the region that has it on tap now, so better come out right away and see what all the fuss is about!

It's official... we now have a HAPPY HOUR Menu!  These food specials are good every Monday through Thursday from 3 PM - 6 PM.  There's no gimmick, no catch, and of course you can still order off our regular menu.  What we're offering are just some great cheap fun food options for you to enjoy at the Pub after work.  Be happy, and check it out on our Specials page.

Typically a sandwich side doesn't really need a special announcement, but we'll make an exception here... we finally welcome TATER TOTS to our menu!  They join our awesome Pub fries, house-made Pub chips, side salad and house-made cole slaw as your general options... and remember you can always upgrade to delicious sweet potato fries for just a little extra cash!

More great food options announced next week (hint - it has something to do with being happy after the work day is over).  Stay tuned!

 Sunday-Thursday late nite menu available 10:00 PM - 11:30 PM

If you've ever searched for some late night food options in the Barrington area, chances are you've been disappointed.  Well, no more worries, as our kitchen is now open for extended hours every day!  We have added on a LATE NITE MENU that is in effect Sunday-Thursday from 9:00 PM - 11:30 PM, and Friday & Saturday it's available 10:00 PM - 1:00 AM.  Lots of great options that are perfect for that time of the evening, there's something for everyone!  Check out what you can get - along with all our other options - on our Menu page.

With our new late nite menu in effect, our Friday midnight free pizza special is being discontinued.  We'd like to thank our friend Scott at Cooper's of Barrington for his assistance (and great pizza) over the past couple years.
