Message from the Business
The high-energy suburban outpost of the Lincoln Park favorite is a sprawling 22,000-square-foot entertainment complex featuring a restaurant and bar on the main floor and a stage for live music, dance floor, DJ booth and oversized booths geared towards large groups upstairs. Kick back on the lower level, featuring Barleycorn's eclectic nautical theme with handmade model ships, ship paintings and boat-themed artifacts or head to the second floor for a sleek contemporary look with a lofty 27-foot ceiling, rustic beams and exposed brick walls. The two-story space, which can accommodate 40-950 for private parties, is fitted with dozens of 50-inch flat-screens and a large projection screen for complete sports coverage. The menu features Barleycorn signatures such as gourmet half-pound burgers and beer-battered fish and chips, but also offers heartier entrees.

on Citysearch Aug 10, 2008This place is a complete waste of time and money. On their website they said they were going to be showing a UFC fight and there would be no cover charge. We get there and they are not showing the fight and there is a $10... (more)
