    The image shows the interior of a bar with a long wooden counter and several wooden chairs lined up along it. The walls are made of exposed brick, decorated with framed pictures and a mirror. Warm lighting is provided by hanging pendant lights and small wall-mounted fixtures. The ceiling has string lights, creating a cozy atmosphere. In the background, there are additional seating areas and a television screen, with a dark floor and a yellow wall featuring artwork.

    Popped by here on a quiet Saturday. Great NYC local draught list paired with a wide variety of board games and pinball machines. Very chill ambiance in a surprisingly huge spot. Definitely a great spot for large groups, but the two of us had a nice comfy spot, had some good beers and played some fun games. Definitely would visit again.

    Not the best picture since it is a bit dark in there but this is the back area with the pinball machines and games.

    This spot is woodside is a great spot to hang out with friends, have a couple of drinks and play games. They have a large selection of board games and pinball machines you can play on. The bar is fully stocked, has a large selection of different types of beers, IPA and ciders. Since I don't drink beer, I had the bartender make me a sweet drink. He made me something with mezcal and lime juice; it was heavenly. You are able to order food and have it delivered to the bar which is great. The owner came out and greeted our group of friends, took our picture for us and was overall super friendly. If you're in the area, definitely stop by and support the business.

    This is one of my favorite bars for a great craft beer selection, board games, trivia nights, and pinball. They have 8 pinball machines in the back - with new ones occasionally added into the rotation - as of 12/24/21, the ones I played were Indiana Jones, Tron, Deadpool, and Guardians of the Galaxy. All games only take cash and usually have 3 credits for $2. They also have a ton of board games and card games to grab and play at the tables. Local craft beer selection is top notch (they have both drafts and bottles also on rotation) and they also can make cocktails if that's your preference. If you want food, you can either order delivery on your own to the bar or just pick up food around the area and eat it at the bar. If you're in the area looking for a fun place to hang out with friends, I highly recommend checking out Solid State.

    I thought I had reviewed this place....came here for a friend's birthday and it was awesome! Great beer selection, friendly and fast service. The front bar is very narrow, so naturally that is where people tend to congregate, but the back really opens up. There are also pinball machines, if you are into those sinful gambling machines. It's also super convenient to the 7 train, literally right underneath it so it's an easy trip from midtown to this place for great beers at a good price.

    Pinballl!!!!!!!! PINBALL!    Pinball - The image shows a dimly lit pinball arcade with a row of pinball machines on both sides of the room, each with illuminated screens and playfields. The walls are brick and painted black, and there is a person standing near the back of the room, facing away from the camera. The ceiling is dark with small recessed lights, and the overall atmosphere is low-lit and focused on the pinball machines.

    I came here on a saturday night around 8:30 - 9pm. Not too late so it wasnt that crowded. They have a variety of beers on drafts which are all made in the new york state. The bartender was nice enough to let me taste a few beers as I couldn't decide. I finally chose one, but I forgot the name. For the second round I got a cocktail which was tasted like a moscow mule. Really yummy!! Walked to the back and saw a bunch of pinball machines along with a large seating area. Also saw some board games which brought back so many great childhood memories. Sigh!! I played battleship, guess who and jenga. Some new millenium games were in the stack such as exploding kittens and memes. I would definitely be back as it isnt a pretentious bar. Very lowkey and laid back. Not really hipsterish as other bars try to be. (Is hipsterish a word??) I'm definitely going to try other beers and cocktails as well.

    Sunday afternoon, no one else inside this fairly new beer bar. Large wooden interior with tons of retro games to the back and standard bar seating up front. Tap list is extensive - 20 different draught lines ranging from $7-9. No food to speak of, but the bartender does allow you to bring food inside. Stayed pretty much dead the entire afternoon, so seems like more of a night-time bar. Despite not serving food, dogs are not allowed here (bummer). Good spot to play some games over beers.

    This is my favorite bar in Woodside. They always have super fun events. My favorite is Wednesday night trivia. They also have a lot of other events they post on their Instagram throughout the year like pumpkin carving and Super Bowl parties. Their beer selection and pricing is second to none in the area. They also have a great selection of board games and pinball. If you haven't been to Solid State definitely make a trip over here. The staff is super sweet and it feels like you're at a friends house. I can't say enough great things about this bar.

    Aldo is kinda cool, but D is super cool. Definitely only come to this place because D is super cool. Pinball is super stupid. I hate it.
