gasˇtroˇpub [ gástro půb ] (plural gasˇtroˇpubs) noun U.K. pub serving good food:
a licensed bar that serves good-quality food [Late 20th century. gastronomy]


Back in 1991, the first-ever gastropub, The Eagle, was opened in Clerkenwell, London . What differentiated The Eagle from a typical English pub was the emphasis placed on the quality of food served. In the simplest terms, a gastropub is a restaurant with a relaxed pub-like setting, offering a particular cuisine prepared as well as it is in the best restaurants. Staying true to the format requires a menu that complements the assortment of beers and wines a gastropub offers. Fare at a gastropub is priced to encourage frequent visits to the establishment.

The Gastropub trend made its way across the Atlantic in 2004 with the opening of New York 's trendy West Village gastropub, The Spotted Pig. Since then, more establishments have opened across the country. After extensive research, the Boyles have determined Salt to be the first New Jersey gastropub. And now the Chiafullo Brothers are proud to present The Stone Horse, the first and only GastroPub in Belleville, NJ.

The Stone horse is conveniently located at 382 Belleville Avenue, close to the Garden Sate Parkway and easily accessible by NJ Transit means. We look forward to your visit.
