50 Best Bars near Ringwood

“Great vibes and great food“

“Sofie’s Whiskey & Wine is hands down one of my favorite spots in Woodstock! Cozy, stylish, and with an impeccable selection of whiskey and wine, it’s the kind of place where you can unwind, sip something amazing, and actually enjoy a conversation.

The wine list? Chef’s kiss. Whether you’re into bold reds, crisp whites, or something in between, they’ve got a thoughtful selection that never disappoints. And if whiskey’s your thing, you’ll be in heaven—so many great pours to choose from.

Pro tip: Don’t miss their wine tastings—such a fun way to explore new favorites. And if you can time it right, catch one of their live music nights. The vibe is always spot-on, and the talent they bring in makes for a perfect evening.

Sofie’s is a true gem—whether you’re stopping in for a glass, a bottle, or a full night out. Highly recommend!“

“My boyfriend and I came down on the bike for lunch. What a phenomenal experience! The OG pizza and mushroom appetizer were amazing 🤩. The owner/chef truly puts his whole heart into his culinary masterpieces, and we will definitely return. I cannot wait to be back to try something else! What a great little find in the heart of Hebron ❤️“

Parking: Front and side parking. Lots of lighting.

Wheelchair accessibility: West front side of building.“

“I visit Johnsburg 1-2 times per year and I always work it into my schedule to stop in for a beer which turns into several. Friendly regulars and bartenders. Random people usually give me money to request songs on the jukebox for them which is pretty cool.“

Every dish came out fresh and steaming, straight from the kitchen, which made the whole experience even better. You can really tell they care about serving quality meals. It was a fantastic visit and we are already looking forward to coming back again.“

“We recently had a celebration of life party. The place was perfect large windows looking out to the water. The staff especially Max was such a great help in making sure the place was set up to our liking. We had so many people say how nice the place was and they never knew it was there. Definitely a hidden treasure. Would definitely recommend for your next party.“

“Great atmosphere great people“

“Stayed there in Summer 2022. Very clean, and even though our room was near the bar we did not have trouble sleeping. Gorgeous sunrise views. We did not get the email with the code so could not check in at check in time, so we had to wait an hour or 2. Not a huge deal. The bigger deal was the neighbor with the F… Biden sign (in her front yard) coming onto the property making guests uncomfortable.“

“KP is the cutest sexiest bartender of the month ever ! 😎🍺“

“Friendly bartenders, and people“

“The Port is one of the best more relaxed restaurant/bars on the water. The staff is so welcoming and knowledgeable. A perfect vibe any night with live bands, DJs, and a touch tunes jukebox where you can play your own music. Tons of events during peak season, coinciding with the Island, and the Port even does Halloween and Christmas themed events. I’d love to hold my own event here one day.“

“a fantastic place to perform or watch live music! :-)“

“Great band “Raven” was playing. Meat raffle and live music“

“Great place, with a great staff and great regulars. Not sure why someone complains about the grill being shut down. They dont have a grill. They offer some pizza and hotdogs sometimes, but otherwise. Its BYOF. Its a drinking, gaming bar. Not a restaurant.“

“I want to begin by saying that we love this place. BUT, the service and food were just horrible. My husband's wings were good but my nachos were terrible. The lack of beef was covered up with lettuce and triple helping of sour cream. I left hungry. We usually stay for more than 1 drink, but I had to get out of there due to a very miserable child screaming for its mother to pay attention to her. Just an overall unpleasant experience.“

“Great Indian food and great place to stop by and hang out....“

“Stop! If you miss it, turn around! You’ll go, “Really? Golf balls and good food?” Yep, leave the clubs home - too cold for that - and don’t whiz by without stopping for a bite. There’s a reason so many cars are parked in the lot. The locals get it. Be a local!“

“I never leave a 5 star review, but this place deserves it all the way around!!! The food was phenomenal, service was fantastic, and atmosphere is adorable!!! Do yourself a favor and go, but make sure to make a reservation!!“

“Went to attend a two day concert event there. Was greeted by the Sargent of Arms and later on by the VP. Great group of bikers. The lodge is very big. The bar is huge, with plenty of seating at and around it. Great food, the smell will definitely hook ya to get a nibbler. Nice size stage and dance floor. Very nice lay out. Never been in there, until this event came up. I would most definitely go back there again. Great people and welcoming. Good times and fun. Give it a whirl, and check it out... Don't think you'll be disappointed by any means. Good show guys ?hope to see ya again. ?✌️“

“Very nice bar & hall. I'll be back to meet more new people. The thing of having your New Year's eve at 4 in the afternoon is a great idea.
They had a Veterans Day dinner for guests & Veterans that was well run & a great end to the weekend.“

“We ate at the BratHaus on Tuesday for lunch. The food and service was excellent and the owner, Jerry, was kind enough to listen to stories of my childhood, working in the hardware store that my great grandfather started back in the early 1900s. Was lucky enough to work for my grandpa there while in middle school. Great to see some of the original things that have been kept. We will be back next time we visit.“

“Such a great menu and unique items! We tried as much as we could in one meal and will definitely be back. Our server Abbie was awesome.“

“It was my 1st time to the island. I came to see the boat races as part of a fundraiser for State Representative Tom Weber.

I'm not into bars so probably won't return but I really enjoyed the time I was there.

The races were exilerating. Being able to see the boats up close was cool.“

“This is a hidden gem.We love this place.The food is terrific.The service as always, is fantastic The bartenders are great. They have a couple of Golf simulators In the back which is really cool. A fireplace in the front, which is nice in the winter. A comfortable and relaxing place to have a couple of drinks or maybe some food or both can't say good enough things. You will not be disappointed ..A+“
