The Office Gets Makeover

Ridgewood's The Office Bar & Grill is undergoing something of a facelift, with changes to the interior and new additions to the menu.

According to a press release from Villa Enterprises Management (VEM), which took control of the restaurant franchise from bankrupt Charlie Brown's, the Ridgewood location has been newly painted with more modern decor and more than 25 new items on the menu.

New items include grilled pizzas, soft pretzels with cheddar bacon ale dip, an "ISO" burger with cheddar cheese cooked into the center, and some steak and seafood offerings.

The beer selection, according to General Manager Hugh Cohen, remains tops in the area. More than 60 beers are available, with 19 on tap.

"It is really important to feature local breweries and craft beers as well as the crowd favorites," Cohen said in the release. Ramstein Brews now officers an amber lager standard for The Office with seasonal offerings as well.
