Celebrate V’Day with Barley John’s
Is there a better way to say, “I love you,” than treating your sweetie to great beer? Not in my house!
Barley John’s, probably the first of many, is offering a special menu to help you celebrate.
We will be taking reservations for both Saturday and Sunday this year.
We are normally closed on Sunday, but seeing as how the official Valentines date falls on a Sunday we will be opening the pub for a limited regular menu as well as our special Valentines menu.
We will be open normal hours on Saturday (2/13/10) with our standard menu as well as our Valentines Dinner Menu.
We will only be open from 5pm-9pm on 2/14/10 – limited menu + Valentines Dinner available.
We will announce the details on the dinner shortly, mark your calendars and give us a call to make your reservations: 651-636-4670.
