The Office Tavern Grill Reopening In Ridgewood Nov. 16

RIDGEWOOD, NJ — The Office Tavern Grill is reopening Nov. 16, seven months after it temporarily closed for an extensive renovation and brand overhaul.

Morristown-based 40NORTH Restaurant Group purchased The Office Beer Bar & Grill with the idea of completely overhauling the business, including bringing 80 new jobs to the village.

The tavern had added new "road trip" menus featuring a selection of items from around the country and new signature items like the Chicken and The Egg, deviled eggs topped with buffalo chicken, sweet potato nachos, southern fried duck, seafood paella and the Chestnut Street Burger topped with gruyere cheese and served with a black garlic ketchup.

The bar will feature 40 rotating beers on tap, an extensive list of craft beers and speciality cocktails, old-style copper beer kettles and temperature-controlled recessed wine coolers.

"Our Ridgewood location was such a beloved restaurant and a great neighborhood place, so we are confident that the community will truly love the newly revamped Office Tavern Grill," said Steve Baliva, vice president of operations of the 40NORTH Restaurant Group. "We have so many new and exciting offerings for our guests that we know it will become a favorite in Ridgewood again."

The restaurant will be open seven days a week: Sunday from 10 a.m. to 11 p.m., Monday through Thursday from 11:30 a.m. to 12:30 a.m., Friday from 11:30 a.m. to 1 a.m. and Saturday from 10 a.m. to 1 a.m. Brunch is Saturday and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and happy hour Monday through Friday from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m.
