If you haven’t been through the Village of Webster’s four-corners recently, you may not have seen all the changes happening at 2 West Main St., the former Barry’s Irish Pub.
It’s been cleared out and opened up so much that Barry’s regulars might not even recognize it. The bar is gone and the wall between the bar and the old bakery area has been removed. The sliding door separating the kitchen from the dining area and all of the kitchen equipment are also history. The whole space looks twice the size of the old Barry’s.
The building’s owner, Greg Chambery (who also owns Maplewood Nursing Home) reports he’s had a lot of interest in the corner, but there’s nothing signed yet. Rest assured, though, he loves this village as much as we all do, and knows full well that everyone is anxiously awaiting to hear good news about what will follow in Barry’s footsteps. “I’ve got a heart for the village,” he said, “and want to make that corner something that people are proud of.”
As for Danny and Jessica Barry and their plans for opening a new pub? I haven’t heard anything about that yet, either. For now, they’ve been having great success marketing their Barry’s Irish Cream, but may very well be working in the background on securing a new pub location.
When I hear anything, I’ll let you know.

WOW! Makes me a bit sad to see there are no remnants of Barry’s at all.
I KNOW!
Same here. Makes me sad whenever we drive by, and even more so after learning that the building’s owner has gutted the place.
While I, too, am excited for Danny & Jess’ success, I can’t wait so find out where they’ll go from here. Hopefully it will still be in Webster.
thanks for the inside information. i have always felt the man who owns Maplewood loves Webster. i often wonder what his background is.
Great place for a bakery
Agreed!
I have wondered why they couldn’t leave Barry’s open and have other enterprises at the same time. It is so sad to see that corner empty.
Well, let’s hope something else as cute will be coming in.
