The Detroit News visits the Woodbridge Pub

Now that the Woodbridge Pub is up and running, it has become a welcomed addition to one of Detroit’s more popular neighborhoods.Excerpt:Some say the best location for a new business is right across the street from a similar business — the customer base is already there. But for Jim Geary, owner of Detroit’s 2-month-old Woodbridge Pub, the right spot was a void in an old neighborhood desperate for something to re-invigorate. “I live here, so it’s pretty much a no-brainer,” Geary says. “We needed it. The neighborhood needed it.” The neighborhood is Woodbridge, specifically north of Warren Avenue and west of Trumbull Avenue, where the pub’s neighbors are limited to a gas station and Wayne State University’s athletic fields. Residents are thrilled to have someplace within walking distance that serves hot food (sandwiches, burgers, vegetarian meals) and cold beer (40 of them, including local brews Ghettoblaster and Dragonmead).
