    Favorite bar is Cortland. Bartenders are always nice and they always have tons of specials. Friday happy hour is the best

    A favorite college and townie bar, the Red Jug is always my first stop on a pub crawl or even just to get a beer. Staff is quite friendly.

    Avoid this place at all costs. I've visited bars all over the country, and the staff here (Gus,…read moreBrooke, her boyfriend, and Joe) are the most unwelcoming people I've ever met. They go out of their way to make customers feel unwanted uncomfortable and unwelcome. I came in with a positive attitude and tipped very generously, only to be met with petty, immature attitudes. It's clear the employees here care more about their own egos than the customers. Truly the worst service experience I've had. Bottom line: avoid Woody's at all costs. As a service industry veteran, l've never seen such unprofessionalism. The staff (specifically Gus, Brooke, her bf and Joe) run the place like a hostile "dart cult," treating anyone outside their circle with blatant disrespect. The employees are more focused on their own cliques and suspicious bathroom breaks than actual service. It's the most unwelcoming environment in the country-save your money and stay away. *I will be filing formal complaints with the New York State Liquor Authority and the BBB, next. It's clear that there's no owner/manager or anyone with authority checking in on this place so I'll make sure the state does.

    I have been going to Woody's for close to 20 years, it has long been my bar of choice! I admit…read morethat the atmosphere isn't much better since Woody owned it and the quality and service has been on a decline since then...BUT I DRAW THE LINE AT BEING SERVED FROM PLASTIC!! I have never been more insulted in my life...and I've had people spit in my face! After this visit I suppose I'm done with bars...thanks Woody's for ruining it for me!!

    I came in for dinner. It's a nice space, they have a full bar, and a good list of craft beers. The…read moregentleman who served me was very friendly. I ponder the menu, it's a decent sized menu, with a good amount of items I decided to go for my old standby, the poutine. I put in my order, and he brings it back quick. It was a decent portion. The fries were well seasoned, crispy on the outside, yet tender on the inside. They were very good. The gravy. Was just the right texture. Not too thin, and not too thick. It was a good quality gravy. It had a deep rich flavor. The one problem, is that there was a very small amount of the cheese curds. They were basically not even the full cheese curds, just little chunks here and there. What cheese curd I got was good, there just was hardly any of it. Let's face it. Poutine without cheese curds is just "gravy fries." Even though there was hardly any of the cheese, curds, overall, it was still a good meal. I left stuffed. Poutine and a soda, the price was reasonable. I would like to try some of the other items on the menu. Thanks.

(A very sad salad) The waiter was very polite and apologetic. He promptly bought my missing dressing and then eventually the blue cheese crumbles. Unfortunately, I would not recommend this pub.
