50 Best Gastropubs near Woodside

“I am Happy to say I was introduced to The Woodlot thanks to a Yelp event. I enjoyed the atmosphere and service, I declared that I would definitely return.

A couple months later a fav and I decided to stop in after an event. Upon walking in Amanda (co-owner/partner) greeted me by name. What? How in the world did she remember me by name? That’s wild and the look on my face expressed my utter surprise. We all burst out in laughter.

Just like the first time we grabbed a seat @ the bar. I truly enjoyed the atmosphere and feel of the space. It gives spacious elevated comfort, if that's even an interior design thing.

Amanda was just as sweet and attentive as before as she managed to take care of everyone solo. I told her I returned like I said I would to try their wings and another cocktail off the menu.

My fav and I both opted for a couple of the FOCO U Martinis. For wings I went with the Honey Garlic and my fav went with the Classic Buffalo. The wings were fresh and hot, I can’t say for sure if they are the “Best Wings in Queens” just yet. They were good however, I need to try them a couple more times before I can decide.

Amanda thank you for your amazing service and impressionable personality. I think I found a go-to spot in Woodside.

Just A Note:

They do not offer ranch with the wings, only blue cheese (yuck). TBH its not needed the wings can stand on their own.“

“Fabulous dinner we sat outside in the beautiful outdoor seating, Great service delicious food“

“Nut allergy friendly: Nothing we had had any concerns. I don't think anything they use has nuts.

Wow. This probably ranks into my top 3 Korean restaurants in the US. It's a quaint shop from the outside that I almost walked by despite following directions, but it's packed with flavor.

We made a reservation two weeks ahead when they opened up and were promptly seated.

Order-to-Dishes: Roughly 13-19 mins for appetizers, 23 mins for sharable entrees.

For three people, we ordered:
-Kimchi (complimentary): Excellent. Great balance, not too acidic.
-Seafood Butter-Gui (5/5): An interesting Mediterranean feeling dish with the pita, but it blends the butter with delicious seafood and the perfect accompaniments to balance out each bite.
-Seafood Pancake (5/5): They manage to get squid or shrimp or mussels into each bite of the pancake. Stellar texture. Delicious balance with the chive and basil.
-Fried Soft Shell Crab (6/5): Holy smokes. Must order. Not sure how they fry this but it is excellently crispy and still fresh tasting at the same time.
-Fried Chicken (4.5/5): I give this a good rating for excellent portions. It's fried in a similar way as the soft shell crab. I think it was a bit weaker in texture but overall, still very good.
-Duck Bulgogi (4/5): While this was the weakest dish in my opinion, the duck was still very tender and flavorful. I think it should have been served with some rice or something other than beansprouts.
-Spicy Fish Stew (4/5): Went very well with rice, very tender fish and clams but not enough to share with 3 people.
-Seafood Japchae (5/5): The heck did they do to make this Japchae so good? The octopus perfectly balanced the Japchae texture and it's a great level of spice.

The quality of seafood was overall excellent.

With two drinks it came out to roughly $75/pp.
I'd definitely come back if only for the soft shell crab, and highly recommend.“

“The Whole Staff,starting with the Management including waiters and bartenders r All Fantastic!!🎉🙏👌😆“

“Stopped in for a quick bite w a girlfriend Thursday. Being a bartender who works a lot I like to really be able to enjoy my time out. This did not disappoint. I had the squash and a burger. Both were 10/10. I had a server named Hunter who was spot on selling the burger. Very attentive without hovering. I don’t drink but he brought me a Phony Negroni and y’all, that slaps.“

“Blown away by the experience. Flavorful chicken and a great selection of drinks ??Chicken was perfectly cooked, seasoned, etc. The staffs were friendly and attentive as well making sure our table was well served. Overall a great experience! Highly recommended.“

“Insane burger. Insane honey tater tots. Incredible rice cheese cakes like a blended Big Mac.“

“We went there for a union get together. It was nice.“

“If You’re in the area, it’s a good hangout place. It’s good to watch games and/or have a good meal. Friendly staff and cozy atmosphere.“

“great food, great staff not to be missed“

“We couldn’t be happier with our choice to host the after party for our wedding at Side Hustle. The staff was incredibly accommodating and attentive—and quick at the bar!—making sure everything went smoothly from start to finish.

The space itself is very stylish and inviting, and we really appreciated how the team checked in with us throughout the night, even asking if we liked the music and if there was anything else we needed.

We also worked with them to offer two drink options for our guests to choose from as a first round, which was a hit and made the start of the night feel extra special.

If you're looking for a bar for a special event, Side Hustle is a great choice! They’re easy to work with, the space is perfect for a lively celebration, and the service is top-notch. Thanks for making our after party a blast!“

“Delicious food and specialty drinks. I love when DJ Cindy Kim plays. Great music to go with the beautiful atmosphere.“

“Great atmosphere and service“

“We are never disappointed when we stop here when we visit NYC. Atmosphere and food is always fantastic and they make killer Manhattans. We just went for the 2023 Rockefeller tree and the staff was pleasant and accommodating. so happy they were decorated for the holidays. 100% go to in our opinion.“

“I absolutely adore this spot! The theater seats are plush and incredibly comfortable. The ticket prices are very budget-friendly, making it a great value. Their happy hour specials are fantastic—just $32 for two beers, wings, and popcorn, including the tip. The burger was flavorful and perfectly cooked; I added cheese and fries to make it even better. However, I wish it had pickles—something tangy to balance the flavors felt missing.“

“Great place. Great music. Great service. Came two days in a row lol. Fresh food. Fast service. Great drinks. Decent price. You'll enjoy it.

Had buffalo Cauliflower and tots... pictured

Stop by. You'll enjoy it. Cozy and intimate space but still lit.“

“I had my birthday here such a great place to have any celebration, the food was amazing the wait time for the food was not too long, and The staff was friendly and willing to help making it special and enjoyable. The price was too high though that was the only thing that was the issue. But I recommend this place“

“The Pork Belly Bao Buns were freaking amazing!!!!“

“Good food! Matthew the bartender makes great drinks!“

“We were in Newyork for 3 nights and had the best fun in this bar the 2 guys from Ireland that own it did everything they could to make our night out amazing, food and drink were top class the guy behind the bar with the 🐻 beard was very helpful 👍“

“Even though I have fairly specific tastes in cuisine, this place has some pretty amazing chicken wings! The bartenders are excellent! They are able to communicate with you and recognize when you want to refill your beverages without asking! Like, keep going until we fall! They're the greatest bartenders! Give them more money.
Without a doubt, I will return and suggest this bar!“

“Great beer selection and yummy British inspired food selections. Friendly staff. Pretty venue and neat loo/bathrooms.“

“On vacation as a joke, we searched for "the worst bar near me" which led us to this amazing little place. We had the absolute best food! The waitstaff was attentive, fun, and helpful. Prices & portions were fair. The whole vibe of the area was low-key & pleasant with the dog-friendly patio, next door local shops, and other patrons. If these Wisconsintes find ourselves in Jersey City again, we will absolutely make a dedicated return to the Wurstbar!“

“Great place to spend time“

“I came here after finding this location on Instagram with “The Brunch Guy”. I must say that this place is amazing! The drinks are equally on point as the food and service!

The ambiance was awesome and I want to make a special note to the following team members who made the visit truly pleasurable. From “Nancy” the bartender to both servers “Ally and Natalie”. They made the experience really enjoyable and I’m definitely looking forward to coming back and seeing them all again!

Definitely recommend the Sunday Brunch, but I’d honestly love to meet the chef / kitchen staff because they in conjunction with the awesome bartenders & servers really make this place come alive!!

SCP highly recommend!!! Enjoy!!!“

“Food was delicious had an Hamburguesa which was good, my daughter had birria nachos, which she loved and my husband had a carne asada quesadilla nd hes not a cheese lover but he couldn't stop eating it because it waa good and the carne asada tasted lile it was made on the grill.“

“After work drinks after a long day at work“

“An eclectic but delicious menu all-around, with options for everyone and the fact it’s all kosher makes it even more impressive. One of the best chicken Caesar salads I’ve had at a restaurant, wings were small but plentiful and saucy, and the Korean chicken and waffles were great. Our friend’s brisket sandwich was gone in no time. Can’t wait to come back and try a whole new set of menu items!“

“Cool spot for drinks, food, and fun and was a welcomed break from the Times Square chaos. I had the hanger steak and a local beer. The food was portioned well and cooked perfectly. We watched football games and there were plenty of kids options too.

Parking: Walk or take an Uber/Lyft. There's curb parking but it's a busy area.

Kid-friendliness: Quesadilla, grilled cheese, burgers, fries, etc.“

“We arrived 10 minutes B4 10:00 opening and were asked to leave and come back. It was a gamble, given the neighborhood competition! We window-shopped pastries and bagels, but were determined to return for a more delectable & delicious meal. So worth the wait! The spicy Brussel Sprouts salad was creative, layered with flavor and just delicious! The Benedicts had poppin’ poached eggs and a delicate, lemony Hollandaise. Avocado toast was topped with goodies but kept forward the toasty crunch and creamy avocado base. A cheery cherry spritzer with rosemary sprig was beyond delicious- a must! We will be returning again and again to this gem of a spot. Highly recommend!“

“Lively sports bar with good service and polite staff. The prices are affordable, making it a great spot to hang out. They also have a speakeasy downstairs, where I attended a private event. It’s a pretty cool space with an exposed original brick ceiling, adding to the charm.

Kid-friendliness: No“

“Absolutely love Ten Degrees, one of my favorite bars in the East Village to come to with friends. This bar provides a fun and inviting experience, from its tasty drinks to the attentive bartenders. Def has one of the best Happy Hour specials around Tompkins Sq Park! Would 10/10 recommend for a fun night out ;)“
