Our Job Fair was this past Thursday (1/28) and Saturday (1/30).  Over those two days we had an AMAZING turnout that featured a tremendous amount of enthusiastic & qualified people!  On behalf of staff for both the pub and Park Avenue Wine Bar I'd like to sincerely thank everyone who attended.  This week our management teams will be processing all the information we've received, and we will be contacting individuals targeted for hiring no later than February 8-10. 


If you missed our Job Fair and would still like to apply for a job, it is highly recommended that you make an appointment and apply in person no later than Friday, February 5th.  Contact Damien Dunne at 847-277-7400 or damien@mcgonigalspub.com to set an appointment time.  Sorry, but it will be necessary for us to stop taking applications by noon on Friday, February 5th.  


If you applied for a job and do not hear back from us, you are encouraged to check into available employment opportunities that will be featured on our

new JOBS page.  Further updates will be posted here the week of February 8th.

Apparently Fox News Chicago picked up on my recent employment opportunities article & featured it on their Job Shop segment Monday evening (1/25).  Nice exposure for sure - click here for the link.

We received a bit of nice promotion from Pioneer Press - in the Barrington Courier-Review (January 7 2010) Bryan McGonigal was the cover photo, and on Pioneerlocal.com there was a 2-minute video of the construction progress (from before Christmas & narrated by our managers). 


We were also featured in the IAN (Irish-American News) based on a brief interview that our manager Damien Dunne provided to the publication.  There are some errors in the article (i.e., we're not "McGonigal Family Pub") but not enough to complain, it's still good press!
About this site

OUR TARGET OPENING DATE IS MARCH 1, 2010


Thank you for visiting! Back in early July when we were still trying to acquire the buildings, we started some early advertising at the Barrington BrewFest...which meant I needed to quickly put something up on the web for reference and contact info.  This was a simple single paged site, but based on the amount of inquiries we started receiving it was not sufficient.  I then created an interactive fan page on Facebook which has proven to be surprisingly popular.  However, not everyone belongs to Facebook, and the true goal has been to produce a decent website accessible to anyone with internet access.  After a few different unacceptable designs that were aborted, here's the first official layout for www.mcgonigalspub.com. 


Keep in mind websites are only as good as the content they contain, so it's safe to say that this still isn't a very good site!  However, between now and opening day this will evolve into a fully functional source for everything you'll need to know about McGonigal's Pub.  Please continue to check this site for exciting updates on the progress.


Join our mailing list on the "More" page, and in the near future you will start receiving Pub updates direct to your inbox.


For all inquiries including vendor and contractor solicitations, employment opportunities and general information, contact us at
