Coming soon – Gadzuk’s!


Keep your eyes open on Main Street, because a new restaurant is on the way. Located on the first floor of the renovated Waverly Ballroom at 214 Main Street, a new family-type restaurant, pub and bar is planned to open before the end of March.

Tonight the Woodstock Liquor Commission held a Special Meeting and approved the extension of an A-2 liquor license for Bill Baruth’s new venture. The basic dining service area will be about 3,300 square feet, and an additional 680 square feet is available for private parties, events and live entertainment.

The “stage” area of the first floor along the Main Street windows will be for dining, and this seating arrangement drew a favorable response from the Commission.

The Liquor Commissioners paid careful attention to Baruth’s explanation that the 680 sq. ft. room might be used of smaller events booked by Mike Levitan, operator of the Waverly Ballroom upstairs. The Commission clarified that all alcohol service downstairs would be solely under the Gadzuk’s license and, in fact, they attached a condition to that effect to his license.

This license for Gadzuk’s, Inc. does not further approval by the City Council.

Baruth will eat a month’s expense of the liquor license because annual liquor license fees are pro-rated on a quarterly basis, not on a monthly basis. His license will be effective at 12:01AM on March 1, 2009, so the sooner he can open, the sooner he can put the license to good use.

Welcome to Main Street, Bill.
