So glad they reopened at this new Fairport location. Such a warm and inviting ambiance. Everyone seems happy and joyful to be there and ever so friendly. Food and drinks were great and the Guinness Cake!!!!!!! The night we were there, Dave North was performing, singing recognizable Irish songs as well as some classic favorites had everyone singing along. Love it here!!!! read more

Fantastic. This goes in the "Want to go back" collection. Friday night and it was busy. But everyone was hustling. Waitress (Kim) was great, on top of everything even though she was really busy. Drinks came out quick and were a full 20 OZ pour! Owner was on the floor bussing tables and delivering drinks. He stopped to talk and was super nice. I got the Irish Spice bag and wifey got the Irish Cheeseburger. Both were GREAT. I've been wanting to try an Irish Spice bag for a while and this didn't disappoint. Everything was fresh and crispy. The onions and peppers added a nice kick and the curry sauce was spicy and sweet. The smash burgers in the Irish burger were great. Crispy edges and the cheese was really flavorful. Fries were pub style with some battery coating. Everything was really good and we got a piece of Guinness chocolate cake to go. It's on a golf course, nice on the inside, but loud on a Friday night. To be expected though. We will definitely come back. read more

We came to Barry's looking for a quick bite, and we were totally disappointed. When they first opened we told everyone what a great place this was. Currently restaurant experimentation has taken over. Instead of table service they have decided that people should order their own at the bar. There are servers to help if available. Tonight's issue was stranger. We walked in at 5:00 and the main dining room was empty. Yet every table was marked reserved, no where to sit. The tables were reserved starting at 7:00, why keep them empty for two hours. We found a table and checked out the menu. Missing was the best Reuben that we had ever had. Another menu improvement????? With limited places to sit and their best menu item off the menu, we left. Barry's is hard to remember when it is even open, but removing their premier item from the menu is ridiculous. And the seating issue is ridiculous, every other restaurant in the country is able to accommodate seatings at multiple times throughout the night without leaving tables empty read more

We made our first visit to Barry's on a Thursday night, arriving 7:45pm for a late dinner. The order at the bar set up is a little odd but it worked as there were only a dozen or so people there. We ordered and waited over 35 minutes for our food to arrive. During the wait I only saw one other meal come out of the kitchen. Despite the unnecessary long wait, we enjoyed the food. 3 stars...food was good, service was poor. read more

Went for St. Patrick's Day celebration- great service in spite of the crowds. Wonderful music & great way to celebrate St. Paddy's Day!! We had a terrific time & we went early (4:00pm)! read more

Barry's Old School Irish - Irish Near Me - Fairport, New York

It took me way to long to stop in here and experience some authentic Irish food and drinks... located on Main st in Webster, we parked down the street in a community parking lot. Walking in to Barry's was just like being in Ireland..... from the small bar and cute little table areas.. Jessica and Danny make you feel so welcomed and inviting. We immediately sat right at the bar and had a ice cold Harp draft... mmmmm Once more friends arrived we switched to a high table and ordered some food. Had to try their fish n chips, magnets Irish cider batter cod. Perfectly cooked with such crispy outside and so tender inside. The chips... unbelievable, best around! Also tried a few bites of their shepherds pie, so well done. But the best part was the dessert...omg Guinness cupcakes with baileys icing. Sad they are closing in a few weeks but happy the family is going to produce their Irish cream. read more

This spot has been several different restaurants in the past and I've tried each at the time. Barry's feels like they will be around for a while! The food is delicious, the staff treat you like family and the place definitely has character. From the live music that enhances your experience to the best Shepherds Pie and Chocolate cake I've ever had, I will be back again and again. read more

Just discovered this place. Had fish and chips that were delicious very much like my Scottish granny used to make. The atmosphere is like a cozy pub. Service staff were friendly and accomidating. Live music was great. Had a wonderful evening and can't wait to go back again! read more

What a neat little gem in Webster this place is! Just as I think the owners had envisioned, Barry's is a true Irish pub that makes you feel like you're right in the heart of the Emerald Isle. It's family-owned and operated with so many homemade menu items. Their beer, cider and spirits selection is extensive and - most importantly to me - thoughtfully Irish (with enough other selections to suit any taste). The Barrys and the other members of their staff are so genuinely friendly. Any time I've ever been here, there has been a big and busy crowd, but these guys run a smooth operation and wear a smile in spite of the well-controlled chaos. They seem to genuinely enjoy people and that, to me, is the hallmark of a great business (and authentic pub). There's always something cool happening: live music, trivia, running club, summer Irish festival at the family farm, you name it. Seating is quite limited when the patio is closed, so be prepared to hang by the wall with your drink just in case. Kitchen closes at 9pm (as of this review) so don't be like me and keep showing up late when you're hungry. :) The food is absolutely worth getting there on time for! Try the Guinness cake and thank me later. read more

Stayed in Webster for a singing convention this weekend. We were at the Holiday Inn Express 1 Exit away. We were hungry and googled pubs. This came up first. We said let's do it. We arrived on a Friday evening. It was a great time inside, and as I saw the food come out, I couldn't believe it. It was top notch. The group of us ordered the Shepards Pie, Reuben, and Pretzels. Then we saw the fish and chips. We felt like we messed up, but all our dishes were delicious. The Irish band that was playing made it even better. We came back the next day for the Fish and Chips. AMAZING. The special surprise was the group of people just sitting in the corner jamming out and singing. This is hands down the best Irish Food I have ever had with an amazing environment inside. read more

First timers and so welcomed!! We stopped in for trivia night and right away we loved it. Cozy atmosphere, personable staff and everyone seemed to be related or old friends which is the type of company I want to be around! Trivia was movie themed and really well done! Although we got ZERO answers correct, we DID win the prize for the best doodle! We left with two tee shirts and a pack of Murphy stout! We had Moscow mules with vodka (best muels we've had in a while) and some chippers and curry! A huge portion that is more than enough for two people, we couldn't even finish it. Looking forward to going back and sharing more laughs with whoever is there, a real gem of a place read more

Stopped here for lunch. Beautiful day to sit outside. You order at the bar. Bartender was a complete dick. Very rude about what he had for drinks. Said we have Irish beer. I asked for iced tea and he laughed. They do have wine. Got a Riesling and my husband got a Guinness. Ordered our food. Took over 45 minutes for a fish fry and a chicken panini. Food was very good. He brought out the food in to go containers and all drinks are in disposable cups. Would have rated better because the food was very good but the service was down right rude and not acceptable. He should be happy he has customers in this mess we are In with Covid. read more

I have been giving out a lot of 5 star ratings lately. I do not blow smoke, I call 'em like I see 'em and Barry's Old School Irish did not disappoint!!! I have been meaning I visit this place for some time now. With us moving in 3 weeks, I wanted to finally try it. WISH I CAME HERE SOONER!!! I would definitely visited more than once! Upon entering, my friend and I were a bit confused with how the whole seating/ ordering process worked so we wandered around for a bit before someone noticed we looked like lost puppies. Apparently you order at the counter and take a seat and they bring the food to you. The menu is pretty limited. I got the Guinness BBQ chicken sandwich and my friend got the Shepherd's Pie. Both were delicious. Didn't really taste any Guinness in the sauce but it was still yummy! The beer selection is good! We both got a bottle of Hard Pear Cider. Very good! Lighter than Hard Apple Cider. We ate lunch outside on the patio. It was really nice! A bit loud at times due to being at the intersection. Inside seating is limited. Price-wise, Barry's is probably average. Spent $28 for 2 lunches and 2 drinks. Highly recommend! read more

Wish we had more time...one beer just wasn't enough...is it ever? Imperial Pints for all drafts with all the Irish beers you'd expect (Guinness, Smithwick's, Harp and Murphy's) and even a couple others (Kilkenny's). We didn't do our research, but the locals having a "Sesh" was a pleasant surprise and quite good! This is definitely a cozy place we'll come back to next time in Webster! Sláinte! read more

Great little Irish pub. Live music with people huddled around and singing along like the old days. Food was pretty good too.

I have been here several times and the place overall is great. Whether the owners take care of you, their family or their employee everyone is super friendly. They have a variety of drinks (wine, beer, cider, liquor) but their specialty is Irish so while you can get a couple local beers that's not their focus. The food is great, I love their shepherds pie and wish my homemade version came out like theirs. Their pretzels are good as are their burgers and the chicken salad sandwich. I order takeout recently and got their Irish burger and it was delicious, I had been craving a thick juicy burger with a unique flare (not just lettuce, tomato, ketchup and pickle) and theirs hit the spot. I wish I remembered to take a picture of it before I devoured it. read more

Amazing fish fry! Called ahead and it was ready on time. Highly recommended and a nice pub atmosphere.

Absolutely no idea why this place is so popular. It's small, loud, and crowded and the beer selection is terrible. I gave it one more shot this week and sat at the bar where I was routinely ignored for 5-10 minutes at a time while the bartenders paid more attention to the people just walking up to the bar than they did those of us that were waiting with empty glasses and wanting to order food. So many better places with better service a stone's throw from here. read more

What a great atmosphere. So very friendly - everyone there. Makes you feel instantly comfortable. Food is delicious.

Stopped in Webster on our little road trip. Spent the day exploring Rochester and just wanted a light sandwich and a Guinness! Great place. True local bar. Oh and sandwiches where good too. My husband got the potato soup. The potato's chunks could have been smaller. read more

This is a great Irish pub! Fun Irish atmosphere, live music and warm surroundings. The pub is on the small side inside but this adds to the charm!

Barry's Old School Irish - Irish Near Me - Fairport, New York

Barry's has really come into its own since I first reviewed it about a year and a half ago. It's now a cornerstone of the village of Webster and its customer base is a group of die-hard regulars. Its husband-wife owners are still tireless workers on the scene there, and I have to say that there's something really nice about seeing one of them there every single time I go in. It's a true testament to how much work it takes to make a place succeed. And succeed it has. Wonderful Guinness, an impressive selection (currently the best in Rochester I think) of whiskeys, wholesome home-cooked food, absolutely delicious Guinness chocolate cake and regular traditional Irish music are all reasons that this place excels. However, its strongest point is that it's friendly. If you go, you'll feel welcomed and like you've suddenly become "part of the gang." The close quarters mean that you'll surely make new friends, as we have done on multiple occasions. The crowd here is fun-loving but never exclusive and most of them are in their 30s-50s. Holding its own as a phenomenal addition to the east side of Rochester and building a nice community at the same time, I know I'm always in for a delicious Guinness, some good laughs, and a nostalgic trip across the Atlantic to the Emerald Isle whenever I go. Make sure it's on your radar, too. read more

Made a quick stop here with a group of friends. The Pub was one of ten destinations on our impromptu "Unique Garbage Plate Tour", where we ordered one unique plate and shared it before moving onto the next stop. Barry's was unique in creation as the traditional meat sauce was swapped with their Sheppard's Pie! A few of my friends enjoyed this one so much, they might have actually fought for the last bite! For me, it wasn't the plate that would have placed this in my top place on our tour, but it was absolutely that for the atmosphere, and hospitality. Every Saturday, we learned, the Pub has live music. While enjoying your meal or afternoon drink, you also have the ability to enjoy a jam session of some pretty awesome Irish instrumentals. Although from the outside we hesitated to head in due to the packed crowd, once we settled in, the crowd was not overwhelming at all. I am personally still trying to figure out how this is even possible, but it is true. There's more! The very kind bar tender asked to take a group shot of us, being intrigued by the story. He posted to the business Fb page with a great little comment, and some time later... the Barry's themselves private messaged a group Member to welcome us to the bar, while they were in Ireland!! Visit Barry's! read more

We stopped in at Barry's last Saturday afternoon. It was a rainy day and we were waiting to get into a movie at AMC but that's another story entirely! The sign at the front says something to the effect of, "come in a stranger, leave as a friend" and I have to say that is totally the feeling we had. They really must take that statement to heart because they really went out of their way to make it a reality for us. One of the owners was working the bar and was all too happy to share their story with us. It's owned by a young family and we could see his excitement and passion for the business as he told us about their history. We had beer, whiskey, and food while we past the rainy afternoon. The place is cozy and feels very welcoming. We were addressed immediately upon entering. They have a decent selection of beer and nice selection of whiskey. We know nothing about whiskey but were interested in tasting, so Dan (the owner) was kind enough to give us some choices. He described them while also letting us know the price of each which was nice. I've been elsewhere and done bartender's choice tastings and then choked on my own spit when the bill arrived. It was nice to know up front what we were getting ourselves into. Their food menu is small but has enough variety to accommodate just about anyone. We had the hot pretzel appetizer which was good, I had the panini, my friends had the Sheep dog and the Shepard's pie. All the food was good. We were happy to be offered a field greens salad as a side at no additional cost. Although, the one meal that did not come with a side was the Shepard's pie. I'm not sure why not but my friend was a bit disappointed about that. There were other items on the menu that I definitely want to go back and try. They also have a nice patio with outside seating so we'll be back. In short, you need to try this place! It's nice to support a hard working family owned establishment. You should definitely stop by Barry's where you're sure to leave as a friend. Let's keep them in business! read more

Food was very average. Service was atrociously bad, and the atmosphere is cramped, dark, unpleasant. Not a fan of this place at all.

Murphy's on tap. Friendly service. Best brown bread I've ever had. Sad that it took me this long to find this place. Currently sipping my pint while listening to live Irish music. I can't think of a better way to spend a dreary November Saturday afternoon. ***Update*** Almost three years on and I still think of Barry's as my second living room. The music is in full swing and I'm settling in to my second pint while kids do arts and crafts and eat shamrock cookies as part of the "kid's St. Patrick's Day" celebration. Barry's has been voted one of the best Irish pubs in the USA. And, although the macaroni and cheese is the best I've ever eaten, and the Guinness is the best you can get in Rochester, the thing that sets Barry's apart is the sense of community that is fostered here. Danny and Jess have created something truly special in this little spot. I doubt I'll ever find a better place to spend a Saturday afternoon. read more

It feels like no matter where you go in the world you can find an Irish Pub. It turns out that Webster, New York is no exception. I stopped in for dinner on a warm day and was impressed. It is a small place but well appointed with the usual Irish flare, I was particularly impressed by the large selection of books about Ireland which is welcome for somebody dining on their own. I had a pint of Murphy's and a very good serving of Sheppard's Pie which I enjoyed on the wrap around patio. The service was very quick and the locals friendly. read more

Barry's Old School Irish - Irish Near Me - Fairport, New York

Myself and a group of friends got together in did a self made Unique Garbage Plate Tour, this was one of our stops. If we had to come to a consensus, this would be the overall favorite. Let's start with the plate. It was AMAZING; flavorful, cooked well and a perfect balance between all of the ingredients. We ate 10 plates in total that day and questioned going back to Barry's for another plate at the end. I could stop there and they would still be deserving of the 5 stars, but I won't. The bar was packed and my large group didn't do it any favors. In a situation like that, I would expect that service would have suffered, but surprisingly it didn't. The service was fast, extremely friendly and as close to flawless as you can get. Again, I could stop there... but there was the music. They had what I can best describe as an Irish jam session and it really just brought the whole thing together. The music was joyful, the right noise level and added a special touch. If I lived in Rochester, this would be a consistent stop for me. That says a lot coming from a guy who doesn't drink often. I would come her just for the environment and smiling faces. read more
