Barry’s Runners celebrate seven years

6 Apr
The very first group photo, April 5, 2016
Another early photo from April 2016

Through rain, snow, sleet, biting cold and oppressive heat, Barry’s Runners have been running (and walking) every week for seven straight years.

Barry’s Runners, which marked its seventh anniversary this week, is a social running group of men, women, children (and occasionally dogs) that meets every Wednesday evening at Barry’s Old School Irish in the Village of Webster. Runners meet up at the pub at 6 p.m., and take the requisite before-run group photo before breaking into small groups to head out on their chosen routes. Some will run just a few miles, others as many as four, along village streets, the bike path, and nearby trails.

The group originated in 2016 as an extension of an already long-established local running club, Women Run Webster. Members of that group had been getting together for regular runs for more than a year. These runs would often begin and end at Barry’s, and the pub sort of became the unofficial home of Women Run Webster.

Alana Russell, one of Women Run Webster’s original members, came up with the idea to invite the greater Webster community to join the fun. Partnering with Barry’s Pub seemed like a no-brainer. So she pitched the idea to owners Danny and Jessica Barry, who enthusiastically supported the idea.

The new Barry’s Runners club held its first run on Tuesday, April 5, 2016. At least two runners have participated every week since, regardless of the elements. Even in the yuckiest weather, the runs will attract a half dozen or more die-hards. During the summer, several walkers will join the club, some with dogs and strollers in tow. Some weeks as many as 20 runners and walkers will crowd on the sidewalk for the pre-run photo.

And there’s always a pre-run photo. And it’s always outside. Even in the coldest weather, some unlucky Barry’s staff member is chosen to traipse outside with their cell phone, and no coat, to capture the occasion.

When everyone returns to the pub, it’s time to celebrate another successful run with pints, pretzels and good conversation.

I’m pleased to say that I’ve been running with this bunch of crazies since the beginning. I know for a fact that if it weren’t for them expecting me to show up, I wouldn’t have kept up my running regimen, modest though it may be. Running with good friends is so much easier than running alone.

Anyone who’d like to join in the fun is more than welcome. Things kick off — rain or shine — at 6 p.m. every Wednesday at Barry’s Old School Irish, 2 West Main Street in Village of Webster. Three pre-mapped routes of varying lengths have been prepared, or you can make up your own route. The whole idea is just to get out there, get some exercise and have fun with like-minded people. And no matter how far you want to run, how fast you run, or even if you just want to walk, you’ll find a new friend to do it with you.

But it’s OK if you want to stay home when it’s blizzarding out. We’ll understand.

St. Patrick’s Day, done right at Barry’s!

8 Mar

Count on Webster’s very own, award-winning Irish pub to do St. Patrick’s Day up right.

And I don’t throw the phrase “award-winning” around lightly. Since this little pub opened a little more than 11 years ago, Barry’s Old School Irish has racked up 15 local and national awards, regularly landing in the top 10 (or even top 5) in lists recognizing the best Irish pubs in the country.

Last week they added one more, when aol.com, together with TripAdviser, named Barry’s one of 20 “Under the Radar Pubs Across America that People Love.”

The online article read,

Started by Jessica and Danny Barry just over 11 years ago, Barry’s Old School Irish Pub offers a warm and welcoming atmosphere paired with delicious bites like sticky toffee pudding, corned beef Reuben fritters, potato and herb soup, and hot pretzels. The pub hosts its own annual Irish festival with music, craft vendors, Irish dance, and beer and food trucks. Barry’s may be a small, relatively new pub, but The Irish Post named it one of the best Irish pubs in the United States.

If you haven’t yet discovered this wee little corner of Ireland located smack-dab in the middle of the Village of Webster, St. Patrick’s Day is the time to do it. True to their award-winning reputation, Danny and Jess have planned not just one day’s worth, but more than a week’s worth of festivities to celebrate the season.

Here’s a quick rundown of what’s coming up. For more details, check out the Barry’s Facebook page or website.

  • March 10, 7-10 p.m.: Annual Irish Music Sing-Along with Kevin Reynolds and Trace Wilkins
  • March 11 (Parade Day): Open 8 a.m. to midnight with breakfast, traditional session by The Killarney Boys; Irish dancers, bagpipers, whiskey samples; live music by Dave North, Everheart and Billy Herring; giveaways and more.
  • March 14, 6 to 8 p.m.: Guinness Glass Etching with Guinness on the house
  • March 15, 6:30 p.m.: All Things Green Trivia, with prizes sponsored by Guinness. Email Barrysirishpub@gmail.com to reserve a table.
  • March 17 (St. Patrick’s Day): Open 8 a.m. to midnight with breakfast, traditional session by The Killarney Boys; Irish dancers, bagpipers, whiskey samples; live music by Dave North, Everheart and Kevin Reynolds; giveaways and more.

The Village of Webster is planning a country music festival

9 Feb

I’m very excited about the news that came across my email box a few days ago: the Village of Webster is thinking seriously about putting together a country music festival.

I think this is a great idea. I mean, the Webster Jazz Fest has been a tremendous success every year, so why not dip into another musical genre, and a very popular one at that?

The event is being organized by the fine business owners who comprise the Webster Business Improvement District (BID). Plans are in their very early stages, but BID chair Elena Bernardi was able to tell me that they’re picturing an event similar to the Jazz Fest, but on a smaller scale, perhaps featuring three or four bands. It would probably be scheduled for sometime late summer.

Right now the organizing committee is looking for interested business owners and community members who’d like to be part of the planning process. They need ideas and definitely could use some sponsors to help get the new festival up and running.

If you’d like to add your two cents and help plan this exciting new village festival, email the Webster BID at info@websterbid.com.
