After having to take off all of 2020, this week a couple of the staple Barrinegon events resume - the Barrington Cruise Nights kick off this Thursday (June 17) from 6 PM - 8 PM and happens just south of our establishment.  They aren't every Thursday as in the past; check the Village of Barrington website for further info.  The Pub and our neighbors Big Iron Horse BBQ will be handling all food and beverages outside for the events.  Additionally the Barrington Farmer's Market is in effect 3 PM - 7 PM every Thursday from June 17th through October 21st, and it's in the usual spot off of Park Avenue right outside our main doors.
