    Great spot with good ambiance and music (DJ onsite). Very spacious with a nice outdoor patio. Smoking shouldn't be allowed. It becomes suffocating for those that don't smoke. Drinks were basic but good. I recommend it.

    I went there on 9/28

    TL;DR: This place has good music, an overall good crowd, you can dance there, but the customer service is terrible and not worth another trip for me.

    Pros
    - MUSIC: Decent Hip-Hop and R&B
    - CROWD: The crowd is a decent and overall friendly / cool people
    - FOOD: They serve food pretty late and it's good

    Cons
    - CUSTOMER SERVICE: I ordered a negroni and the bartender rudely asks "why would you order that"--seemed like she didn't know how to make it or didn't want to find all the ingredients. It takes her a while to finish my order then hands me my drinks as if I've somehow offended her life for my order.
    - CUSTOMER SERVICE: I ordered food and like 5 minutes after getting it then bouncer closes the back and tells me I need to eat in the main bar area (there's a back patio area to eat / drink that's less crowded). Wish they would have given me a heads up.

    My favorite time to go to the woods is a weekend afternoon. The space is well laid out, with ample room and bar service both inside and out. I come here most often for the rocking food they crank out back. Great tacos, nachos and other Mexican fare.

    The vibe transitions at night and it's definitely great for those that are looking to dance. I dropped by last night (Wednesday) at 9:30 for a taco and beer, but the gentleman at the door asked that I have a woman with me to go in, which is quite contrary to most spots in Williamsburg. That said, I respect it and understand they're going for a certain vibe.

    Cheers.

    Homophobic bar.  Was turned away because we did not have any females in our group of 4.  Bouncer assaulted one of us, trashy.

    Have been looking at other reviews and it appears they physically reject people from the bar.  So many better options out there, avoid at all cost.

    The Woods is one of my favorite bars in Williamsburg. I came across this bar when I was taking a walk with my friend in Brooklyn. The bar is located near the bridge between Brooklyn and Manhattan. I have enjoyed drinking rum and tequila cocktails. Furthermore, we also occasionally enjoy small chats with the owner.

    The DJ something plays great EDM music which helps make the experience more fun. There are always people drinking and singing there which make it easier for one to make drinking partners.
