As of January 1, 2024 the Pub is permanently closed for business. A heartfelt THANK YOU goes out to our staff, loyal patrons, family, friends and the entire Barrington community for the nearly fourteen years of support. We will sincerely miss all of you. Yes, we do have plans to eventually return in a different regional location. Updates on future ventures and any relevant Pub-related news will continue to be posted here; our Facebook page will also remain active with updates. All inquiries on the Pub and the buildings should initially be directed via email to bryan@barringtonpub.com (Bryan McGonigal). |

March 18, 2024 Our auctions have become fluid, active events as of this past weekend. To keep it simple and in one place, here are the details on the process moving forward. Helpful updates/reminders will be added as needed: CARONA LIQUIDATORS https://www.estatesales.net/companies/IL/Lake-Zurich/60047/159773 (847) 393-6715 Phil Carona is the owner & main contact; this is the company handling all the “at the Pub” on-site auctions. The link above will take you to the estatesales.net site for viewing of many items, most of which will be kitchen & serving utensils, glassware, furniture, fixtures, equipment and installed woodwork (see the next link for the memorabilia). These will be happening several days a week until we’re empty. Note that it is BY APPOINTMENT ONLY and small groups per appointment; it is open to any restaurant and non-restaurant individuals. Check out the website link for dates (updated weekly) then contact Phil at the above link or phone number to set your appointment. He will also answer any questions you have about the process. Additionally, you can get on their mailing list for direct updates. LOT 14 AUCTIONS Starting in early April LOT 14 AUCTIONS will be handling most of the memorabilia, pictures, trinkets, décor and a variety of other things from the Pub. For collectors and former patrons who want to obtain a bit of history, this will be the site you want to visit! I’ve been told there will be both online and live auctions that will include our items. Check out the site and get on the mailing list for direct updates on this and other similar auctions; they sell a lot of great stuff! **BUILDINGS FOR SALE** Please view our original February 16th posting below, and I’m adding this here as a reminder - for serious inquiries on the properties at 105 S. Cook St. and 205 Park Avenue, contact Mike Costanzo at 312-399-5080 or mcostanzo@jameson.com. Any other general questions on the auctions or property can be directed to me at bryan@barringtonpub.com. All updates will also be posted on our Facebook page. March 1, 2024 Welcome back, March! Unfortunately we won’t be celebrating St. Patrick’s Day here this year, but we do have some very relevant updates on the sale of many building/business assets: FIRST, the public auction that was tentatively planned for March 9th & 10th has been canceled; for the sake of efficiency these dates will be replaced by more specialized auctions for smaller groups. We have a professional liquidator handling the entire process for the larger items (furniture, kitchen serving & utensils, fixtures, equipment); these will be in-person meetings and he will be available most days. Additionally, quite a bit will also be posted online for easy viewing, and this process should commence right before or right after St. Patrick’s Day. More details and specific contact info will be posted here in the near future. The vast majority of the Pub memorabilia – virtually everything that doesn’t have the name “McGonigal” on it is being appraised, labeled, photographed and sent to an auction house for sales both in-person and online. We’re using Lot 14 Auctions, and within the next couple weeks they will be up & running with our stuff… as soon as they are ready more info will be posted here. **NOTE – we’ve had numerous requests from patrons asking for specific items at the Pub – some wanting the same items - so in the interest of fairness we are going this route for the sales. If you would like to resubmit any particular request, email me at bryan@barringtonpub.com and I’ll make sure you’re added to the auction house mailing list. Many of the dry goods and related supplies that are still on site will be donated to local food pantries. Keep in mind that both buildings – 105 S. Cook St. & 205 Park Avenue – are for sale. Our realtor can field all inquiries – see the February 16th posting directly below for his info and additional building information. Additionally I am happy to personally assist and answer any questions. February 16, 2024 **Buildings for Sale - UPDATED with new low pricing** This is an update from the January 31st posting. A new lower cost of $2,475,000 has been agreed upon, which now includes just the properties themselves without any of the FF&E assets. Click here for the quick one-page announcement on Facebook, and the full, detailed sales brochure can be found here. As mentioned before, **serious inquiries only** but feel free to reach out directly to Bryan with any questions - DM or email bryan@mcgonigalspub.com. I'm on site every day as we are cleaning up the buildings and preparing for some public auctions (more details on those events are forthcoming).
