Walking around Woodstock doing a little shopping, then time for a little pick-me-up!
This place the former Landau Grill has open air windows with low tables, high top tables behind them with a full bar and tables inside in the rear.
I suggested ordering Nachos to share it included chips, jalapeños, black beans, green peppers, cheese, onions, salsa, guacamole, pulled pork and sour cream served on a tin platter served piping hot. It was really really good!
Sofia our server was so very nice so very accommodating. Will stop again when we are in the area! -

What a mixed bag, at best. So we will do this in The Good, The Bad and The Ugly format. (READ FURTHER DOWN FOR THE UGLY).
THE GOOD: The food was fine, no significant complaints. The fries were de-lish. Prices all average.
THE BAD: I recall they were out of a number of things (and it was only Saturday midday), but not a problem. They had us wait for a table in the back, with the old bar and in the dingy old part of the restaurant. Not terrible, but not as nice as the restaurant you walk into and expect to be in.
THE TRULY UGLY: So we are in for the day. I want to show my young 12 year old son and girlfriend (an investment specialist in a Park Ave financial firm) around Woodstock. I have spent many summers there growing up, and visiting family homes just 2 miles off the main strip.
As mentioned, we were waiting for a table in the back room, so all the wait-staff saw a white man, with his white son, and black girlfriend. So when we got seated at a table in front and the GF needed to use the bathroom, this should never have been an issue.
But it was. She went back and asked a waiter where the restroom was. He looks at her (mind you, in clothing whose cost exceeds both his and my own weekly income), and snottily asks, "Are you dining with us?"
When she came back and told me, I was quite disturbed. There is ZERO question where this was coming from. We all know outright bigotry when we see it hit us in the face like that. So I asked to speak with the manager. Who I found out, was also the owner, James.
Any sensible person would have expected him to take matters full on, offer an apology, and perhaps even buy a round of drinks. At the very least, acknowledge the issue and suggest a strong talking to the waiter was to follow. But no.
James, the owner, it seems is all about James. Literally his first reply was, "well, you see we have to pay for the water we use and when people use our restrooms...." The next line of excuses was, "I was a therapist for years, and was burned out and had to change careers".
I was sitting there amazed at his lack of any responsibility for what happened, or correcting the situation in any positive way. PLUS, his dialog was making it sound like this would happen to anyone asking for directions to the restroom.
I responded, "Fine, if you think this is normal for your staff, I will -- right here and now -- bet you $1,000 that if I walk back and ask for directions to the bathroom, I will not be asked if I am dining with your establishment". He would not take the bet, and finally, begrudgingly, admitted I would most likely not be profiled the way my non-white GF was.
This garbage is not what we, who have loved Woodstock for more than a generation, should expect in what has always been a liberal and welcoming town and culture. And this is NOT what we should expect on the 50th anniversary of "PEACE, LOVE & MUSIC". -

It's back. Not only does this original location have an open airy atmosphere on the outside deck but the food was great. Our waitress was very attentive and our host Lenny extremely friendly. Shared the beer cheese and pretzels with my husband and saved the cheese for our fries. The burger was juicy and cooked to perfection and the fries were crispy and seasoned just right. My husband really enjoyed his fish and chips, finding the batter light but crispy. We were so full we didn't get to try dessert. We will be back.

I had an excellent meal at the Pub. My service (by Kiran) was excellent. He was very forthcoming about the fact that the "Beyond Burger" is a veggie burger. I did not feel I needed a credit on the cost as another person posted - the price point seemed fine. And it was delicious. I opted for the side salad which had a great dressing and fresh beautiful cherry tomatoes. I sat on the new patio which was great on a sunny but breezy day. I would probably give 4-1/2 stars because the decor is a little lacking and it feels pretty utilitarian. Also, I don't think you should call yourself a "pub" when the only British food offering is fish and chips. But not wanting to shortchange them, I'm rounding up to 5.

Food is really tasty, cauliflower wings are a must try! The waiters and waitresses are friendly and accomondating. The space at the front is great for a sunny day.
