Our food menu is all about bold flavors and timeless favorites. What began as a series of successful pop-up food events has grown into a permanent fixture, adding to Barrington’s food scene.

At our bar, we believe wine should be enjoyed without the pretension—no need for stuffy rules or jargon. Our natural wine selection focuses on authentic, delicious wines made with minimal additives, letting the true character of the grapes shine through. On Wednesdays, we offer glass pours of these unique wines for $10 a glass, perfectly paired with one of our popular smash burgers or hot chicken sandwich. It’s a simple, unpretentious way to enjoy a great glass of wine and flavorful food in a laid-back atmosphere. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or a casual drinker, we’re here to show that great wine is for everyone.
