Now
that the Woodbridge Pub is up and running, it has become a welcomed addition to one of Detroit's more
popular neighborhoods.

Some say the best location for a new business is right across the

The
neighborhood is Woodbridge, specifically north of Warren Avenue and
west of Trumbull Avenue, where the pub's neighbors are limited to a gas

thrilled to have someplace within walking distance that serves hot food

including local brews Ghettoblaster and Dragonmead).
