our kitchen
Our food menu is all about bold flavors and timeless favorites. What began as a series of successful pop-up food events has grown into a permanent fixture, adding to Barrington’s food scene. The popularity of our Cosmic Kitchen food truck also allows us to bring the same incredible flavors to local events and neighborhoods around barrington.

Every dish is crafted with quality ingredients and a whole lot of heart, ensuring you get a meal as unforgettable as the good times you’ll have with us.

Each cocktail is a perfect balance of nostalgia and quality, designed to transport you to another time while delivering a contemporary drinking experience. Whether you're relaxing after a long day or celebrating with friends, our cocktails offer the perfect mix of vintage vibes and modern flair
natural wine
At our bar, we believe wine should be enjoyed without the pretension—no need for stuffy rules or jargon. Our natural wine selection focuses on authentic, delicious wines made with minimal additives, letting the true character of the grapes shine through. On Wednesdays, we offer glass pours of these unique wines for $10 a glass, perfectly paired with one of our burgers or hot chicken sandwich. It’s a simple, unpretentious way to enjoy a great glass of wine and flavorful food in a laid-back atmosphere. Whether you're a wine connoisseur or a casual drinker, we’re here to show that great wine is for everyone.
