The more you think things change, Misty Peck hopes they mostly stay the same at Hidden Bridge Pub in Sturgeon Bay. Peck and her husband took over the former Stage Road Inn at the beginning of June after flirting with the idea for close to a year. Stage Road Inn regulars should be familiar with Peck, who worked under the guidance of former owners Tom and Barb Schmelzer off and on for 30 years. The new name is in honor of the rides she would go with her grandfather through the woods to get to her great-grandmother's house near the restaurant when she was a young girl. When the opportunity came up, Peck says she felt like it was important to keep the restaurant similar to how people remembered it.

Outside of a new paint job and some other improvements, the Pecks have kept the menu at Hidden Bridge Pub almost identical to what it was before with one addition: deep-fried pickles, which is a favorite of their eight-year-old daughter Ali. Hidden Bridge Pub reopens to the public on Saturday with a grand opening event featuring a bags tournament that will take place on June 24th.
