Midland Park NJ, To our loyal customers and patrons-Although we originally hoped to celebrate our 5-year anniversary this past week, we are rightfully shifting to a full curbside takeout and delivery. While the operation is a challenge, still in the works, so far it has been a success. We are offering our traditional Pub menu, but also have added “Meal Deals Packages” menu that feeds a family of 4, “Lent Specials” and the option to order in advance for the next day. You tell us when you want to pick up and it will be ready. Our neighborhood liquor store is in full operation, allowing for social distancing with one patron at a time for purchases. Also ask about our Growler Club for purchase for ice cold draft beer. We are going to do what we can to give people another option for dinner, while doing everything with safe distancing and constant monitoring of public announcements and regulations. Stay strong, follow the rules, and have faith.
