Schaumburg’s John Barleycorn ceasing daily operations, will focus on special events Schaumburg's John Barleycorn restaurant is ceasing its day-to-day operations, but will remain open exclusively as a venue for private parties and special events, its owner announced today. The changes, which went into effect immediately Tuesday, are the result of the uncertain and sluggish economic recovery and the high unemployment rate in Illinois, according to owner Sam Sanchez.
