This Sunnyside bar/restaurant got off to a tough start.
Over Time, located at 39-31 Queens Blvd, opened in August and promised that it would offer live music, DJs and dancing. The owner, however, quickly received word from officials that these activities were not sanctioned in accordance to its liquor license and it was forced to close.
Today, nearly five months later, the establishment is about to open and will operate as a Mediterranean restaurant and a sports bar.
“We used the time to focus on our restaurant and our menu,” said Sean Verderber, the assistant manager, who claimed the time was not wasted.
The venue is expected to open this Thursday, with its hours from 11 am to 1 am seven days per week.
The bar is going to be offering a range of exotic drinks—such as strawberry mojitos, water melon martinis and cucumber gin. Beer will be sold by the bottle.
The menu will include a wide range of Greek items from Souvlaki to lamb Shish Kabob. It will include fried calamari to a number of seafood dishes—as well as steak, lamb chops, burgers to Greek-rice pudding.
“The food is upscale but at a reasonable price,” Verderber said. “Many people will be impressed.”
Verderber said that there will be a comment box inside the restaurant allowing diners to make suggestions or provide their opinion.
The establishment will also be making sure that sports fans are well served. There will be a bar menu that includes wings and mozzarella sticks.
“We will be showing all the games – whether it be football, hockey or soccer,” he said. “I want this to be a place where everyone feels comfortable.”
