    Burger
    Kate C.

    Portion size was crazy! This burger actually was my entire face lol. The flavors were good and the fries were good, but I'd argue that the fries are too salty and the burger could use a little bit more sauce on it (or on the side)

    TLDR: great bar with fun music and option for outdoor seating! Came here on a Friday night for the first time after seeing a concert in the area. Music was a good mix of 90s/00s/current RnB and pop. The only drink I got was the passionate lovers draft cocktail. It was some passion fruit type drink. The crowd was pretty mixed, not just one type of demographic was there. Overall, super chill bar that I think is worth checking out. Can wait to come back!

    Met some friends here. Had a great time. It's very far from me, but if I'm in the area again, I'll make it a point to stop by..... Oh, and the fish tacos were amazing!

    A local bar with a Texas vibe. Casual with indoor & outdoor space. The music is very loud so it's hard to have a conversation if you're dining there early. The place gets very busy later in the evening. Great for big groups. They have DJs playing music late into the night. No cover charge. Mexican food items on the menu along with fries and other sides. Tried the veggie tacos (2 for $10) with flour shells. The tacos were larger than I expected so you'll def be full with one order. The shells were crispy (likely fried). The yuca fries & sauce were excellent!

    The food here is surprisingly better than you'd expect. The music however always falls short. So much potential but the music is outdated and impossible to dance to.

    The three bouncers

    Hey! My name is Ash Goetz. I hope to share my experience I had tonight: Hello! 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!

    Did you have to ruin Taco Tuesday? We're not stupid, making the tacos half the size no longer makes it a deal.

    Is this place closed permanently? Haven't seen it open in so long.

    We have not closed permanently. We plan on re-opening once conditions are closer to normal.

    Do you have to be 21 to get in for karaoke nights?

    Yes.

    What type of music is played here on a friday night?

    I can only speak for the last 2 times I went there after it opened back up this year... It was no longer like the old Woods. That is was before. Same security and Great bartenders... But the Music... the MUSIC SUCKED!! SUCKS SO BAD now! I went 2… Read more

The unassuming entrance gives way to a warm, intimate space with dim lighting, a record player spinning in the background, and a fully stocked bar turning out genuinely excellent cocktails. It strikes that perfect balance between cozy and quietly stylish, making it an ideal date night spot. We went at 6:45 on a Thursday, and the atmosphere was exactly what we were hoping for: relaxed, uncrowded, and perfect for conversation. It felt like we had stumbled onto a secret. The staff only added to that feeling, welcoming, attentive, and genuinely kind. A special shoutout to our favorite waitress, Dusty, who was warm, lovely, and made the whole experience feel personal without ever being overbearing. The omakase was the highlight of the night. Every piece was incredibly fresh, thoughtfully prepared, and honestly more delicious than I had imagined going in. You can tell there's real care behind each course, and it elevates the entire experience beyond just a meal. Studio 151 is the kind of place you almost don't want to tell people about, but it's too good not to share. A perfect spot to sneak away for an intimate dinner, enjoy amazing food and drinks, and actually hear each other talk. We're already looking forward to going back again soon.

From being buzzed up and being great with the different options and being an hidden gem.

    Bembe is one of those places. If you know, you know -- and…read moreif you don't, you should fix that immediately. Tuesday nights? Reggaeton goes crazy. The room is moving, the energy is right, and it feels like a real party instead of a playlist on shuffle. Friday nights with the live drums? Different level. That's when Bembe really shows its roots. The drums add this raw, authentic feel that turns the whole night into an experience instead of just a bar stop. Now let's talk drinks -- because this one deserves its own moment: The tequila with the lime dipped in coffee grounds is surprisingly delicious. I wasn't expecting it to work... but it absolutely does. Must-drink. Non-negotiable. This is a place to dance, drink, sweat a little, and leave feeling like you actually went somewhere. Bathroom Review (2 out of 4) Safety - Bouncer presence helps a lot. You feel secure moving back there. Accessibility - Easy enough to get to, no maze or weird hallway journey. Space - Bathrooms are small and tucked way in the back. Gets cramped fast. Privacy - Sinks are outside the bathrooms, which kills the privacy a bit when it's packed.

I loved that there were congas by the ready for a quick jam sesh! My only gripe was the drinks. My first drink was an "old fashioned" and it had a bunch of raw coarse sugar at the bottom. It actually looked like a Long Island iced tea, so I'm not sure what it was. It was a bit loud, so maybe they misunderstood my order. My second drink seemed accurate, and was just fine. Anyway, I'd definitely hit this spot up again, especially if Delaceiba is in the house. Much much love Bembe!
