10 Best Bars in Woodstock

“Absolutely loved this place! The atmosphere was warm, stylish, and inviting, and the service was truly exceptional. Our bartender, Lauren, was unbelievably knowledgeable and helpful, and made the experience even better. The drinks were outstanding, with an impressive selection of wines and whiskeys. Also had the pleasure of speaking with owner who was very helpful in answering some questions i had about a specific bourbon. We were extremely impressed from start to finish and can’t wait to come back!“

“Wonderful people, wonderful decor. This is truly an exceptional dive bar for adults. It has the most calm and collected patrons of any bar near the square, the bartenders are fantastic, and they have a beautiful beer garden out back. My favorite bar in town for a casual drink.“

“Best frozen alfredo pizza around! Bartenders are always wonderful and chatty and fun. Great karaoke nights with DJ Spiccoli and random trivia nights are a blast. And someone’s always winning on the machines! Lol.“

“well, first of all I just went there tonight for about 40 minutes and found out heather no longer works there she kept that place spotless you know she was great I thought and she made sure I got walked home if I needed one doesn’t really nice lady heather is I’m sorry to see her gone she was always waiting on the customers instead of talking to him and ignoring the customers wanting to get a drink, but I’m gonna miss her but is it cool kind of a bar if you like nostalgia they got lava lamps. They got board games they’re like trivial pursuit Jenga they got machines real good ones good paying ones I just wish heather would be back, but the prices are good they have karaoke and I believe live bands, too big bar in the back pool tables and right right in the square it’s a good walk for some. It’s an easy walk for me. I’ve never seen a fight in there not once everybody seems to know each other in there. It’s really nice but it’s hippie days are here again which is kind of cool. Try it you might like it.“

“Great lunch today at Antigua! Our server Kara was so sweet, and we were so pumped for the guac she brought us! My pineapple margarita was delish. GIANT stuffed chicken quesadilla. Only negative is it's quite small so there wasn't really a table to fit 6 of us, but Kara made it work!“

“You rock! Thank you for protecting women at your establishment.“

“In my opinion Ethereal is one of the finest chocolatiers in the country, and I particularly like the organic and natural flavorings, esp the orange chocolate which is the best which is my favorite. It is very simple to eat vegan there, and healthy. I enjoy all the plant based foods, and a hidden treasure is the protein boll, both filling and light. The herbal tes are the best I ever had, and they have much depth, combining organic teas of various flavorings. Service is friendly and laid back, and the counter area is fun for comradery and good lighting when oe is alone and perhaps wants to work. Ive gotten to know people well by sitting there. I love all their salads and I like the cucakes as much as the chocolate. It's a very attractive place, laid back and relaxing. It is very clean and well maintained. Honestly, I never ate downstairs, although I love the global ceiling on this level, which is both futuristic and subdued. Coffess seem better than average. I once drank end enjoyed a glass of warm mosel a few times per year, It was better than average. Presentations are nice, and consistent. Price points are low for the quality. While subdued, the patrons seemed upbeat and friendly, always up for discussion. I like the art, often changing. Lots of meaningful discussion to be had at the counter, esp if you enjoy the arts and literature, There are some intangibles that are appealing. many regulars, and acquantances. I enjoyed the very young and the very mature. It's the kind of place you can learn a lot just by observing and listening. On Freiday night you can expect an international crowd akin to North Michigan Avenue in Chicago and many students and musicians. Their chocolates are in retail outlets as well, which is t be expected. I expect that they;ll expand to include humus, greek yogurt as their clientele fits the demographic. Large tinted windows are peaceful. nice blend of contemporary music. probably the favorite of McHenrey County along with Aroma in Crystal Lake. Convenient to shops, sumer fun, the Oprah House, and Classic Cinema 9the lovliest meduim size, main auditorium in the midwest.“
