Q. Describe your business and how you got started.
The D-Line Pub is one of many places in the VillageBallston Spa with interesting local history. The D-Line was known formerly as the Blue Mill Pub & Ralph’s Tavern. In the 1940’s and 1950’s, local factory workers came in for a cold beer and could even cash their paychecks!
We bought the place with our son, Saratoga graduate and NFL player, Anthony Weaver in April, 2006 and completely renovated it.
Q. Are you known for anything special?
Our Food! We spend a good amount of time ensuring our customers get their money’s worth! We only buy the best deli meats and make our own soups and salads from scratch. Our Mastroianni Bros. Bakery products are always fresh, our burgers are 8 oz., we have huge turkey club’s and we use 7 oz. of meat on our deli sandwiches leaving plenty for our customers to take home with them. Philly Cheesesteaks and Friday night pizzas.
The “$5.00 a Day Meal” is a great special! You can come in, Tuesday thru Saturday and get a complete, homemade meal for only $5.00.
Q. What do you like most about your business?
We can service a wide variety of customers. Of course, we have our sports fan regulars, football enthusiasts who love to watch Anthony play as much as we do and we have dedicated NASCAR fans on Sundays. Because we have 8 flat screen TV’s between 3 separate rooms, we can accommodate these fans and our golf, baseball and basketball fans easily while still offering our neighborhood seniors a quiet place for lunch or light supper.
The bar is separated from our other two dining rooms so eating with a friend or bringing the kids is comfortable for our patrons.
Q. What do you feel is your biggest challenge with your business?
Like many restaurant owners, keeping our food and drinks affordable can be tricky when facing rising food costs.
Q. What do you want the community to know about you?
Our badge of pride is our charity work. We involve ourselves as much as possible and hold events that support our local firemen, police officers, kids sports programs and Veterans causes.
Our policy on foul language is strictly enforced. Its important to us that EVERYONE can come here to eat and relax without being exposed to unnecessary or inappropriate behavior.
Q. Anything else?
We like to have fun with our customers and offer Friday nights to the Ladies who want to be “Guest DJ’s”. We provide all the equipment and they are the star choosing music from the 60’s, 70’s, 80’s, Rock n Roll, Country Western or “bring your own CD’s”. Our Beach Party Charity Event is coming soon with music, a pig roast and more with proceeds to benefit a local charity.
The D-Line Pub is just a nice friendly place and we want folks to come on down! “The Owners Made It That Way”
