The Woods is a classic Williamsburg staple. The bar has been around for a long time and has great vibes, games like jenga and big buck hunt. Food too. Great for groups or just to chill out. Can’t ever go wrong at The Woods.

Used to be the spot to go on a date ,flirt and dance . Sadly they put a large pool table in middle of the dance floor . The dance floor used to be my main attraction . Their drinks are basic .

Had a great time here. Nice music selection. I would’ve eat bar food unless you really have to. Drinks are hella strong too. Nice place if you love hip hop/spanish music. I would’ve eat bar check their venue for the night before coming here to be sure that’s the vibe you’re looking for.

It's nice but beware ladies night is early 20s. Max age probably 25. Mostly college students.

The Espresso Martini has become a NYC favorite and I don't think its going anywhere anytime soon. However throughout my years of traveling bars restaurants I've noticed there are bartenders and they are mixologists

The Woods used to be an enjoyable venue with a decent-sized dance floor and a DJ. While the DJ remains, the decision to place a large pool table in the center of what was formerly the dance floor is genuinely baffling. I brought my group here expecting the same fun, dance-friendly environment, but unfortunately that is no longer the case.

Went last Halloweekend. Not a bad place in concept, but the men who were there made my friend group incredibly uncomfortable. Full on grabbing girls to demand their attention. Do not go here alone for your safety. However, the bartender was sweet and playful with our group plus the shots weren't bad. Hopefully the crowd is more respectful of women during regular weekends.

If you are from Connecticut or out of state BRING YOUR PASSPORT. They do not accept real ids. I argued with the bouncers for about an hour or two about my real Connecticut id and had no genuine proof of why they thought it was fake!

There was an insanely rude big backed security guard who berated and threatened my friend right before entering and checking his ID, he said he would kick him out and make sure he'd never be able to step into this place again. He was so insanely rude and threatening he killed the night and asked if we were gay and if we was a couple which is so intrusive and inappropriate! Fire that guard!

This bar has a lesbian themed event every Wednesday. There are quite a few number of gay men at this bar on those nights , but if you are a gay white male over 45 the doormen will not let you enter, citing it is a "private function ," That's a flat out lie. I've asked over 50 people at this event, either lesbian or gay male, if it is a ",private party," and they all say "No," Some friends have offered to bring me in with them as a guest, but the doorman still refuses to let me in and my friend leaves also. I've now tried 4 times in 4 months to get in. I've asked my gay male friends over 45 in the area, not just white, to see if they were allowed. All were allowed except the white men, who were also told it was a private event, It's just flat out discrimination and BS. Many of my lesbian friends were not aware of this until they witnessed it. There are more people that see this now and don't go back. And, yes while it is a lesbian themed event, the gay men that do go and allowed in, say it is/was a great time(music) and that no female cares if gay men are present, but they all say the bouncers/doorman are homophobic to gay men in general every night. No one cares if hetero male and female are present or allowed in - but da.n this place is so blatantl about who they hate, BS and lie.. Until there is a SUGN that says "only females allowed, no one over 45 allowed and that they have a right to reject male customers based on their skin color," then and others will keep proving this hate. This place is listed in many gay male publications for places to visit.M8st publications and advertising for gay nightlife doesnt even say "a lesbian themed event or a private event. Their IG and other similar outlets never oost anything about their Wed nights but they post about every other nights events. The last thing this place would ever host is a gay male themed evening. They only want a certain kind.
