This is a workaround for restricting the PlotRange:
Needs["Graphics`Graphics`"];
data = {4, 10, 5, 7}; offset = 3;
BarChart[data - offset, Axes -> False, Frame -> True,
FrameTicks -> {Automatic, Table[{y, y + offset}, {y, 0, Max[data]}],
None, None}];
For negative values, just use a Frame:
BarChart[{4, 10, 5, 7, -3}, Frame -> True];
