Historic Cranbury Inn To Fully Reopen In October

CRANBURY, NJ — The historic and iconic Cranbury Inn is all set to reopen fully at the end of October 2022.

The Cranbury Inn has been a community mainstay for over 200 years. Ownership of the property recently changed hands.

“We are proud to assume stewardship of this magnificent gem,” Bill Arnold, managing member of the new ownership team said. “It is a privilege to uphold the rich legacy of the Inn and to provide the community with a relaxing, updated venue to enjoy.”

The restaurant, bar and event venue is located in a building that has been functioning as a place to eat and drink since the 1750s.

The new owners of the historic building have made repairs and updates necessary to maintain the structural integrity of the building.

“Rest assured, we are prioritizing preserving as much of the beloved charm of the building as possible while making repairs and upgrades necessitated by time and changing times,” Arnold said.

The Inn has spacious dining rooms, private dining areas, a reimagined bar and a lounge area. The bar features an extensive wine list, more than two dozen wines by the glass, 24 beers on tap, and more.

Many long-time staff members have remained and some new team members have come on board, the management said.

The menu has been updated with new offerings and will continue to include old favorites. Lunch and bar menu items and daily specials will also be available.

"It is a very exciting time for the Inn,” Arnold said.

The Inn will also be home to a new retail store - NJWineSeller. The store will be located in the rear legacy banquet area of the Inn and is slated to open in late October–early November, shortly after the restaurant is fully reopened.
