The back patio is where we sat after we snagged a drink from the bar. I wasn't expecting there to be a small restaurant in the back tucked away. I ordered for takeout right on time cause they closed a little while after I got my vegan calamari and fries. It was very good and even though it was a great amount I wish it was more calamari once my husband got a hold of it lml

I was racial profile at the door by a black lesbian security guard. I waited on line and she said you habla ingles, i speak perfect English and followed by its a private party while people Behind me we’re stating “I wonder if we can get it” they all got in but since i don’t habla i was not let in. For all that crap they talk about Trump i got discriminated by people of color.

Great spot! Unfortunately they changed the kitchen so the food is different. We went there expecting the amazing food from last summer, and now it's all meat and BBQ. But vibes were great. We went to a hip hop party there on a Saturday afternoon.

Bartenders are racist, throws drinks at customers and are very aggressive, completely uncalled behavior. Not a safe space, which is so sad because this place USED to be amazing, but new bartenders and bouncers are so beyond unprofessional and act ridiculous. Would not recommend going.

New management, new door people, new bartenders, new food situation, suddenly all the queer staff is gone and the entire place feels different. Not somewhere worth going back to anymore.
YOU APPARENTLY HAVE TO BE A MAN TO GET SERVICE AT THIS BAR. I visited from Tampa and was recommended this place by a friend. While one of the bartenders was nice enough to charge my friends phone, she later went up to the bar to ask for it, and the bartender (only male working night of 4/5) got an attitude because she apparently accidentally asked for it while he was making a drink for someone else. I then apologized for her and said she didn’t realize. He then said he wasn’t serving us anymore. I wish I could just decide I wasn’t going to work at work anymore. As for my original statement, the female bartenders who were unaware of the situation didn’t serve us either and just continued to walk past us. To get a drink I literally offered the man next to me a free shot if he ordered for us and as soon as he walked up he was served. It was giving we hate women at this bar. Do better.

I’ve been to the Woods countless times over the years and loved the atmosphere and clientele. The bouncers are often extremely rude and tonight was no exception. My partner who I have been to the woods with 10+ times was really rejected. It got to the point where the bouncers were laughing in our face and calling us cry babies. my partner is 25 years old and has an out of state ID. I’m not going to lie I have known of at least five people who are under age who have gotten into this bar. The treatment that we took tonight was nothing short of insane. Safe spaces for queer people, especially black queer people are a few and far between. Receiving this treatment from another black person is extremely hurtful. As someone who has celebrated birthdays at the woods and has some of the most important moments of their lives, celebrated at this bar, it’s nothing more than a kick in the face. I am utterly disgusted .

Hello! My name is Ash Goetz and I’ve been a loyal patron of The Woods for years. Tonight I had a really horrible experience with the bouncers at the Woods. It’s lesbian night on Wednesdays and that’s when I come with my partner and friends. Tonight, my ID did not scan: I am 25 and have been let in many times to the Woods. Tonight, the bouncer denied me because of this. I understand IDs don’t always scan and that’s the policy. The last time I went to the woods, my ID didn’t scan just like this time but they let me in because it seems like one of the bouncers were in a good mood? I’ve worked in bartending and know how clubs work: my friends and I were very understanding. They were be adamant that I were to be denied access. I called the cops so they could come and verify my ID, but they never showed. The bouncers were talking, gossiping, and taking shots calling me a cry baby (lol) even though I did not cry…they kept laughing and being immature that they were denying me. I am 25 years old and there were many underage people getting into the club. It’s crazy because my ID scans at TSA but not the Woods. I don’t know….it just leaves me a bad taste in the mouth about a place I love and have supported for years as a lesbian. Anyways, if management could fix this that would be amazing. And yes, I will be bringing my passport next time but even in that self is crazy. Love the Woods but this is just not great: me and my friends left!

My group of friends and I tried have a nice night out in one of the only safe queer spaces in the area. However, the bouncers (who are visibly drinking shots of alcohol in front of us chased by Redbull by the way, drinking on the job is insane) rejected my 25 year old friend bc her ID wouldn’t scan correctly then proceeded to harass her about it (this is the only bar it’s never scanned at) and we gone here most Wednesdays and were starting to love and consider this our regular. When she proceeded to walk away upset (rightfully so since they were incredibly harassing), they all made fun of her incredibly loudly calling her waterworks and all this mean stuff. It made me feel incredibly unwanted and othered and completely unlike what woods Wednesdays are supposed to be about.

This is the one safe space where we come every week, and my friend got rejected at the door because her VALID CALIFORNIA ID didn’t scan on their machine. They refused to re-scan, and then talked shit about her as soon as she was 10 feet away talking about “the crybaby over there with the ID written in crayon.” Girl is 25 YEARS OLD. She’s not faking, we’ve been here before a gazillion times. Not the homophobia on gay night Ike be for real.
