We’ve been getting a lot of calls and questions on when corned beef will be available. We’re prepping and will be serving both Saturday and Sunday! We will be open at 10 a.m. on Saturday for Kegs and Eggs. During that time we will be featuring $3 pints of Guinness, eggs and corned beef hash. From open to close on Saturday we will have $15 buckets of Bud or Bud Light. We will also be keeping with tradition and pouring green beer. And much more!! Join us and grab some breakfast before the @downtownludington St. Patrick’s Day parade! #stpatricksday #downtownludington #afamilytraditionsince1955

We’re officially kicking off our St. Patrick’s Day celebration starting tomorrow. Join us tomorrow from 6-8 p.m. and pick up an engraved Guinness glass. #downtownludington #stpatricksday #afamilytraditionsince1955 #guinness #eringobragh

It’s only Wednesday and it’s already been a very productive week. **While remaining open for business: Modern Ceramics of Scottville finished up the first and largest phase of tiling in the new kitchen space. We can’t say enough good things about Albert, his professionalism and quality of work. He did an incredible job in a timely manner. We highly recommend his services. THEN... Our dear friend Janet Bulger worked with us in essentially stripping the ladies and men’s bathrooms in Sportsman’s. Janet is so amazing and generous. She has spent so many hours helping us and we can’t thank her enough. Both restrooms received new vanities, flooring, and new paint. Ladies... the toilet is straight. It really is the little things in life. 🤣😂 We are still wrapping up small finishes in the ladies and work is left to be done in the men’s but we’re getting there a little more each day. The changes to the bathrooms are merely cosmetic. In one to two years we plan to completely demo, gut and rebuild, but these are at least better for now. We couldn’t have agreed more that it was long over due. #barreno #barrenovation #renovationproject #openforbusiness #downtownludington #afamilytraditionsince1955 #smallbusiness

Skip the calories and eat clean with our Chicken Cashew salad! #downtownludington #afamilytraditionsince1955

We hope you save the date and join us for this holiday celebration that’s been happening in our place since Hoyt started it all back in 1955! #downtownludington #stpatricksday #afamilytraditionsince1955

Don’t stew too long on what you’re going to have for lunch. We have many options! #downtownludington #afamilytraditionsince1955

Here’s another sneak peak as well as a brief update on timeline: We will be opening/removing the OSB plywood for St. Patrick’s Day weekend to allow traffic to flow easier through Sportys and The Mitten since the new kitchen will be close to completion. Due to the size of this project, the number/ variety of subcontractors and inspectors much of our progress depends on the completion of one task before we can move to another. For instance, the size of a new stairwell impacted whether we could fit a 6 burner stove or if we would have to downsize. That then impacted the ordering of our new hood system which takes three weeks to fabricate. It’s been a game of inches. This is just one example of many. It’s complicated. We’re pretty sure this project has aged Brian at least 20 years, haha 😂 As a result, we are planning to be functioning in the new kitchen by 4/1 and that’s no joke. This project affects so much including our livelihood. It’s extremely important to us to do this right the first time. So we’re not hurrying to rush it. We thank everyone for taking the journey with us and being patient. We’re excited, nervous and mostly ready to be DONE. Cheers, Megan #barrenovation #barreno #renovationproject #afamilytraditionsince1955 #downtownludington

We will be closing at 5 p.m. today due to electrical issues. We will resume normal business hours tomorrow. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Happy Saturday! Join us for lunch and enjoy a delicious grilled cheese BLT with chips. #downtownludington

We are so darn close to securing the approval from the inspector... Once that happens the big exciting changes are going to happen. None of this would be possible without the help of our incredible contractors: Benchmark Custom Homes of West Michigan, Rees Electric, Scholten’s Plumbing and Skoog Heating and Cooling We’re also tremendously grateful for John and the team at Shelby State Bank for your invaluable help in making this happen!

If you weren’t able to make it down last night for the NYE party here’s a front row seat of the fireworks!! Thank you all who headed down to celebrate. We also would like to thank all of the volunteers, DDA and City Staff who make the event possible each year. We wish each and all the best 2019.
