RIP to a fine Westerly establishment. We played a goodly amount of shows there back in 2015-16. The finest selection of beers and pretzel sandwiches one could want.

To our very dear and valued patrons,⁣

It is with both a heavy and full heart that we announce to you that the Malted Barley (Westerly location) will be permanently closing. Our last day of operation will be Thursday March 2nd. We know that this will come as a shock to many of you. The truth is, the burden of liability has taken its toll on us, in all ways possible. It’s time for a new chapter. ⁣

We are thrilled with all the new businesses that have recently opened downtown and wish them all many years of success. We’ve always maintained that “all boats rise with the tide” and in our 12 years of business this always proved true for us. We are so proud of what we built, and we will always cherish the memories made here. The musical performances, the countless celebrations and dance parties, the sports teams we’ve sponsored, the downtown events, and the fundraisers we’ve supported – there are so many amazing moments to be proud of!⁣

We thank you all so much for your support over the years. ⁣

It’s been an honor to get to know so many of you and to stand with you through hurricanes, floods, and pandemics. We have other plans for the future, so you’ll be seeing us around for sure! In the meantime, we’re leaning into the flower farm (Echo Rock Flowers) and will be focusing on our family. ⁣

Best of luck to Jeff & Maria Pucci and Mike & Daniela Joyce, who will bring “The Goat” a family-owned and operated establishment where guests can cheer on their favorite sports teams. Be on the lookout soon for a sneak peek at their menu and grand opening date. This will be a great addition to the downtown scene - we wish you guys all the best!⁣

If you have gift cards, come and use them in the next 3 weeks, but know that they will also be honored at the Providence location. Otherwise, please stop in to get your last Barley fix before we close the doors! Final merchandise is all 50% off. Our hours today until March 2nd will be 11am to 11pm.⁣

We remain forever grateful to this community. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.⁣

Be well, be safe⁣

Much love, ⁣
Colin & Stephanie Bennett⁣

I've been told that describing our drummer's issue as a "foot ailment" is lame and not exciting enough. Rest assured that our drummer has suffered a serious foot injury. A rare tree frog has laid eggs in the bottom of his foot and surgery is need to remove those eggs before they hatch and consume his entire leg.
