We held my sister's 40th birthday party here and it was a blast. The bartenders were incredible and the manager, Angelo, was so easy to work with. They let us in early to set up and were super accommodating while we tore down. All of our guests had a so much fun. 10/10 would recommend if you are looking for a cool spot to have a private event. read more

We love The Woods trivia nights on Wednesdays! Becca is such an awesome host for trivia, and there's happy hour until 10 PM with Tyler serving up some mean cocktails! You can even bring in outside food! We've gotten fries from the kebab place next door, and they are divine (paired with a Dos Equis, chef's kiss). The moody lighting and wood walls/accents make the place feel super cozy. 10/10!!! read more

I rarely write reviews but this one felt like one worth writing. My friends and I were looking forward to going here and really wanted to enjoy this bar, but it wasn't possible. On of my friends has a certified service animal with a card and the door guy was a complete a**hole, grilling her and basically telling us we couldn't come in. He was such a jerk to the point I just asked him "do you even want our business?!" and we walked away. I really hope their management and the bartender know that he's being such a jerk to people who are coming in to the point where they're actually losing customers before they can make any money. Don't waste your time and even bother coming here. There are far better bars in LA. read more

Cute little dive bar with a nice ambience and good vibes. They have games for you to play and always have a movie playing which is fun. Service is good but the handmade drinks at the bar are not good in my opinion. You are better off getting something canned or bottled. Overall, fun little place read more

The Woods has a cozy and rustic vibe that makes it a nice spot to grab drinks with friends. The atmosphere feels warm and inviting, and the lighting really adds to the mood. Service was good and the staff was friendly, but overall I felt like the drinks could have been a bit more impressive for the price. It's still a great place if you're looking for a relaxed night out with a chill ambiance. I enjoyed my time here, though I'd probably come back more for the atmosphere than the drinks themselves. read more

First of all the parking sucks here. It's all compact. 2nd the bouncer/security or whatever he is, he's just weird and he was starring at me pretty uncomfortable. Walked into 2 dudes making out not my aspect but whatever. Sat at the bar for like 5 min keep in mind this place is dead. The bartenders were talking and on there phone. I got up and well left. Apart from this place being expensive. I shouldn't have to beg to get your attention. That is your job. Well won't be back anytime. read more

I've been supporting vintage bar group for over a decade from their old bar The Parlour to the woods on labrea and NoBAR in noho. Most of their bartenders are great but last night I went in and Mike was bartending and in an obvious mood. I was finishing up my EOD report for work when another bartender that wasn't working asked me to do a shot with her. I accepted and she introduced me to a friend of hers that offered to buy my next drink. I finished my report and asked to close out just to find that Mike double charged me. When I tried explaining to him that the gentleman offered to buy my last drink he got Very snappy and rude. Continuously interrupting me and it was so weird. He's been rude before. He made a disturbing comment after I spent some time in the ICU about my health and I didn't return for months. I ran into him and he asked me why I haven't come around and I told him that his comment was disturbing and very hurtful and he apologized and admitted he made a poor judgement with that joke but then continued to DM me and ask me to come in on his slow nights probably because I've been in the industry for ages and o always tip generously. When I did return he told me I was being too sensitive and that it was just a joke. Mike doesn't drink but I wonder if he has some sort of anger, narcissism or bipolar disease because he can be very sweet sometimes and a complete jerk other times. Last night I felt like he wouldn't let me get a word out and it was very triggering and disappointing to see him treat me this way. I've invited friends and even thrown huge gatherings at these bars via Angelo The owner and Mike is the only bartender that has recently been mistreating people that I've experienced. I invited friends to meet me there a few months back and he double charged my friend who very much only had one drink. My friend said he was argumentative about it So he just paid and asked me to never invite him there again and left. Mike tried to talk shit about him when he left and I cut him off and said "he literally only had One drink because he has to drive home. I saw it. He didn't apologize or try to make it right. I've bartended for ages. If you can't count or differentiate who is ordering what you shouldn't be in this business. Apparently he told the other bartenders I'm 86'd from the same bar he constantly asks me to come into. Very happy to spend my money elsewhere. I even brought him dinner from my job last night. Here's a tip, if you hate people, don't work in the service industry. If you can't count, don't work around money. Happy to take my business elsewhere read more

From the time you land at this place it reads as an upscale local and well loved spot : the lighting is warm and the bartenders are cool : they listen to what you want and execute it with a classic Hollywood air : we will definitely make this a part of our pub crawls and spectacular for a solid nightcap (or two) as their happy hour actually goes until 10pm! read more

We found our new favorite craft cocktail joint! Excellent service and a very warm, fun vibe! The house specialty cocktails are off the charts. But, they have an incredible liquor selection and can mix up anything your hipster heart could desire! read more

Great vibe. I miss the joints that accompanied breakfast pastries. They have real birds!

I guess first off the bartender was so busy on Grindr that he didn't wanna look up for a couple minutes. And then when he did, he was kind of rude just not a place I would recommend. read more

Ambiance was great for a neighbors bar and they have Happy hours until 10pm every night. Dirty martini was on point. However, the crafty / signature drinks were a bit disappointing. We went on a Saturday night after 9. read more

The Woods - A Page from the Menu - Lounges Near Me - Hollywood, California

A pretty solid bar nestled away from the noise and traffic. If you are looking for a club atmosphere, this is NOT it. This caters to the more chill clientele that wants to get a drink and talk to their friends without shouting. They are located within a plaza of sorts so parking can be hard if you come on a busy day, but there are some street parking. There was also security at the door and they will card you, but once you're inside, it is easy going from there. They have both bar space and booths for privacy. You order at the bar and then take it back to your table. They only had one bartender when I was there so be kind (and tip your bartender)! The drinks are a little expensive, but that's the LA tax, lol. Solid drinks tho. For entertainment, they have a jukebox near the door and some games scattered around if you want to play! I heard that there is live music on the weekend too! All in all, solid sleeper bar and I would return again! read more

Fun, cute little dive bar. Really want to love this place because the atmosphere is cool and its close to my house, but the drinks are just okay. I got a glass of wine (which yea I know its not the place for wine) but when they opened the bottle, there was an audible POP like ti had been sitting there making gas for days. No offer to switch out to a new bottle or anything. SO yea, cool bar but recommend one of their cocktails or just a beer read more

A very cool bar located very close to Hollywood boulevard. It really does feel like you are in the woods, there are stars on the ceilings and the walls are all wood. They were also playing Jurassic park in the back on a big screen. My friends and I only got one drink here, but it was also really good. If you're looking for something a little of the beaten path, this is the place. read more

came to have a good time. left because i was making too much noise (even though it's karaoke night and everyone sucked at singing) wannabe dj told me i didn't even buy anything. bought a drink. came back to ask if i was gonna keep making noise. grabbed the bouncer and me and my friend just walked out. needless to say im never coming back. waste of money and a good night lol screw them read more

I really liked the vibe of this place. Lighting, ambiance, music, decor, ect. The only downside are the prices, 18$ top shelf old fashions. Avg bourbon not super fancy but not well. I'd say the prices were just unreasonable so that's why if huge it only 4 stares. No games or pool either. Def a chill spot but could be improved. read more

Great place with a very nice indulgence back room. David was very helpful and knowledgeable. I will definitely go back.

Man !! Happy hour til 10p everyday Say no more in there and the drinks are tasty - a nice atmosphere and friendly bartenders - I'm here once a month when I can read more

Perfectly hidden gem - crusty on the outside, kitschy in the inside. This gen-x LA native remembers fondly the LA bar scene of yore (think Smalls K.O. and Three Clubs, and even the predecessor Lava Lounge) that nurtured our need to pre-game/bar-hop before clubbing, or sometimes skipping the club entirely because you found the perfect spot to people watch. The Woods feels like a throwback to that scene - like finding your old leather jacket hidden in the back of the closest, the scent of leather & cologne/perfume mixed with a hint of cigarettes, beckoning you to a simpler time when you could get a drink with friends at a local bar and have fun without all the b.s. hype that has consumed LA in the past few decades. read more

On a Saturday night the DJ was hitting, seating was available, crowd was friendly, drinks weren't too expensive

This bar is somewhat of a happy place for me, nestled away in a strip mall in Hollywood. It's pretty close to the Roosevelt so you can park in a parking structure by that and walk if you don't really know where else to go or happen to be there for something else. I love coming here after another Hollywood activity and having a drink at the bar. I love the neighborhood bar vibe it gives off. You're less likely to find a bunch of obnoxious tourists here. If you come with friends, you can sit at a table if there's space, but be aware that it gets kind of loud (lots of people, usually loud music or a DJ). Not much of a dance floor, but people find space to dance. The drinks I've had have been hit and miss in terms of strength; sometimes I'll ask the bartender to surprise me with something strong, and I get it, or I'll get one of my usual drinks and it isn't very strong at all. But, I have had a good time all of the times I've been, and I try to come back whenever I'm in the Hollywood area. Check it out if you're looking for a fun little (yes, overused phrase incoming) hidden gem. read more

This is a really fun dive bar. Everyone seemed like regulars and people were super friendly. Really good happy hour, the espresso martini wasn't that good but the Moscow mule was solid read more

I have been going here for the last eight months specifically for trivia. It is a warm moderately no place with friendly bartenders and clean bathrooms. The service is good. The trivia is fun and the music is solid. You never would've expected this from a small little dive bar off La Brea. read more

This is a lovely space. The decor is very rustic homey. It's nicely dark. The bar stools are padded and large. The bar is also padded. It's very comfortable. The prices are great. My Laphroaig was $15. We came around shift change and had the company of two wonderful barkeeps. To be honest, the bar keeps are why this review is 4 stars and not two. It is a shame that such a lovely space has such a clientele. We were treated to a live sex show while we drank. And after we spent an hour trying our hardest to ignore that (and they were making that very hard) the actors of said sex show came to the bar and started trying to fight everyone. And they were not kicked out. We left. I feel like at any other place, this would have made this place a 2 star place. But everything else was nice enough to warrant the 4. That said, I do doubt I'll be going back. I'd rather pay more for my scotch and not have to see some randos fuck. read more

Surprise low key dive bar in this mini mall of some random places, but the key to this lot is the Taco Truck, great for late night drunk people. The bar itself is dark and super small/intimate, the tables are tucked away along the wall with a stretch couch/seating for people to chill. DJ spins pretty good music and the drinks are just alright. For a "lets get a drink" date it would be cool if you can snag a seat, otherwise a tad small. 3/5 for me read more

The place is really neat. Cool little dive bar. Lovely decor and it's dark inside. Right to it, the only reason I'm giving it three starts is because when I ordered a drink for my husband and I (Kentucky Mule), the bartender took two lime wedges from what seemed to be someone's empty glass to garnish both drinks. I can tell it was someone's empty glass because it was at the bar area, it only had ice, and had a straw in it. Absolutely disgusting. Aside from that, everything else was good. read more

From the reviews I thought it would be a sketchy whole in the wall, but once I walked in I realized that the reviews did it no justice. I loved the decor. The wood on the walls was Fresh. It had a really cool atmosphere and was full of hip locals. I got there and they told me it was still #happy hour. My favorite time of the day lol. Got Jameson and cokes for $6. Definitely a great place to go have a couple of drinks before experiencing the Hollywood nightlife. read more
