It's still Lent and is Friday, so today we will again be offering our Fish & Chips for take-out, or delivery through DoorDash.  Starting next week we'll be adding in some daily take-out specials.

Please also note that we will be closed on Sundays for the foreseeable future.  But we are itching to get open for full service again, so please keep hanging with us and thank you for all your support.  Stay safe!

March 24, 2020

Thank you for your patience and business.  We are pleased to announce that the Pub is officially live on DoorDash for online ordering and delivery!  Orders taken 11:15 AM - 7:45 PM.  In the near future we'll also be expanding delivery to include any phone-in orders... and of course don't forget that you can pick up bottles & cans of beer and wine here!

March 20, 2020

This Friday we'll be offering our fantastic Fish & Chips, and through the weekend we will also be giving out a free bowl of soup on all orders.  Additional updates:  we're close to offering delivery, hopefully by Monday we should be set.  And as a reminder we can sell (unopnened) bottles & cans of beer, wine and liquor for carry out & delivery (when we can do it).

March 18, 2020

We have our Limited Food Menu now availble for take-out orders (which includes curbside delivery upon request).  Please take a look at the right side of this page for details or CLICK HERE for a printable full copy.  Though at the moment we are also limited to call-in (847-277-7400) and pick-up only, we are working on providing delivery service and online ordering options.  One other important note - we can sell (unopened) bottles & cans of beer, wine & liquor for carry-out as well! Anyway, please keep checking back for updates, and thank you very much for your business & understanding through these difficult times.

Happy St. Patrick's Day, even if everyone can't celebrate together.  We will continue to post updates right here and on Facebook regarding our capabilities and protocol on serving our patrons.  For today we just plan on keeping up with take-out orders but this will expand later in the week.  We miss you already... be healthy and be safe, and we will all get through this together.

Though information continues to change rapidly, here's the latest update from the Village of Barrington (from today) on how the COVID-19 situation is being handled in our region.

We are currently open but as you already know at the end of business today ourselves and all other restaurants in Illinois will not be open to the general public for dine-in service.  However, we will be providing full updates on our (take-out) business soon, so please check back here and on Facebook.

March 15, 2020

UPDATE from today's prior message:

Unfortunately the Luck of the Irish has taken a hiatus.  As you may have already heard, due to the COVID-19 concerns ALL bars & restaurants in Illinois will be shut down for in-house dining at the end of Monday March 16th (tomorrow).  This dine-in closure extends through the end of March.

For the next day our plans are business as usual, and we will be bumping up our St. Patrick’s Day celebrations a day early. Come out to the Pub tomorrow, we have Cirrus Falcon playing at 7 PM and drinks will be flowing… and of course we will continue to be taking all extra precautions necessary for the safety of our patrons and staff.

We will have more information on our take-out and delivery options and other plans moving forward ASAP.  Please continue to check back with us here and on our Facebook page for all updates.  We’ll all get through this together and look forward in the not-too-distant-future when we can once again see all our wonderful & loyal patrons enjoying themselves at the Pub.  Thank you for your understanding.

March 15, 2020

No need to worry... the Pub will continue to provide our usual bar & food services, but additional precautions are being taken for the best possible safety of our patrons & staff.  Paper & plastic serving ware for food and drinks will continue through St. Patrick's Day, as well as our limited menu of food items.  Information is listed on the right column of this page and on our Celtic Fest page.  Also, we will continue to monitor the situation and follow the lead from our local authorities.  All updates will be posted here and on our Facebook page.

March 13, 2020

Please visit our St. Patrick's Day celebration page for specific details on the weekend events and our protocol.  And as a reminder our message on the COVID-19 situation is still in effect, but we will continue to monitor the situation with the village of Barrington.

March 11, 2020

Here is a Facebook post link from our Village President regarding COVID-19 and business plans moving forward.  As we state, rest assured that the Pub will continue to operate in full while taking any extra precautions necessary to assure the safety and best possible experience for all our patrons and staff.  Important updates will be shared here and on our Facebook page.
