Hey, it takes time to get something right. And although the build-out of the
Woodbridge Pub seems to have taken a while, it was worth the wait. At least, that seemed to be the consensus of people at the grand opening party this past weekend.
From the tin ceiling to the beautiful deep wood bar (that must have been shellacked about a dozen times), every detail of the pub has been meticulously thought out -- and executed -- by owner Jim Geary, who is elated to have his doors open to the neighborhood. "It feels like the best feeling in the world," he says.
The pub will be open seven days a week from 11 a.m. to 2 a.m. The kitchen is open until 10 p.m. on weekdays and until midnight on Friday and Saturday. The menu is beyond-bar, with vegan harvest grain and portabella soup, a variety of salads and appetizers, pizza and pasta, sandwiches and burgers. The emphasis is on fresh and non-deep fried. Prices hover in the $7 to $9 range.
Woodbridge Pub is at 5169 Trumbull at Merrick. There is on-street parking and a huge bike rack.
