The Woods

First time I went there I had to figure out who the DJ was because the music was so crazy on point it was an amazing great experience the chelf in the back gave me a free dessert I had a wonderful time and that bacon is amazing!

I've been going to The Woods for a few months now whenever I ended up in Williamsburg. Drinks are average and not water down thats when I drink my gin and ginger ale. They occasionally have a good deal like a Tecate and a shot for $6 or so. The place picks up usually after 11-12. There is always a DJ playing anything from Disclosure to MJ. Depending on the night they will charge you a cover. The second time i was there my MK jacket with my car keys in it were stolen. Got my keys back, jacket was gone for good. BTW their phone number doesn't work if you lose anything. Just show up.

The best is that there is an indoor and outdoor bar area. There is a lot of seating if with a large group of friends and another outside bar. in the winter its equipped with heat lamps. Have evening munchies and you're not Kosher; get a bacon stick. Heaven on a stick. For REAL. Basically its just porkbelly drizzled in maple syrup. I'm not talking about Aunt Jemima syrup.

All and all I always have a good time there..and pretty sure you will too!

so my buddy slipped up and apparently we went on heh hum "woman appreciation night" *wink wink* so hey couldn't complain about the man to woman ratio =D. The place is spacious with in door and out door mingle room. Did not feel cramped and music was playing well enough throughout. They also serve food where I had the fried pickles and burgers (9 bucks for the burger w/ no sides). Cocktails are good, I had the old english that came in a very colorful cup but hell long as it tastes good. The reason this place gets 3 stars is because its cash only...? Like wth? Not sure how common that is around here but when the food can be paid with a card and the drinks can't, that's just silly. Probably would go again if my friend wanted...probably.

*update so apparently they do accept cards inside. Who knew :-D so with that said good cocktails and bar food with good space to mingle inside or out. Not bad at all

The woods is a great bar and used to have maple bacon sticks in the back. That was my all time favorite and when ever I would have friends from all around the country we would go there to imbibe in food and drink and then explore the rest of Williamsburg. Will definitely go back to check it out again.

Attention DJs: I am not one, but I know that all it takes to be a good dj is to play music that your audience wants. Everyone tonight (Saturday) was under 30, and we only heard music from the 80s. Sure, some of it is good, but nobody here knew most of the songs played and ended up pity dancing. Pick up your head and see that your crowd can't even really enjoy it! $5 cover and not worth it.
