The Linwood Inn Tap House Re-opens for Business
The Linwood Inn Tap House has bragging rights for being one of the oldest restaurants in Linden, which is located in one of the oldest buildings in Linden at 19 South Wood Avenue. The restaurant’s owner, Yosh Neshimka, has been stacking shelves and slinging drinks since he was a teenager after his parents bought the restaurant in 1971. In 2000, Yosh did away with the attached liquor store and converted the space into a full restaurant kitchen.
The Linwood Inn Tap House has borne witness to some major changes, from the 1800’s to the industrial revolution, and now the revitalized commuter hub it is poised to be today. Linden’s train station is just a stone’s throw away, and with luxury apartments cropping up on all sides, the Neshimkas are looking forward to serving a new generation of guests with the best food and atmosphere in town.
On August 31st, Governor Murphy announced indoor dining could resume in the state of NJ at a limited capacity. The Linwood Inn Tap House, alongside many establishments across the state, took the opportunity to open its doors again to the community after a two-month period without indoor dining.
