Came here for after work drinks. It's your typical dive bar but they do trivia on Thursdays and have happy hour as well! They serve food and drinks as well. A great spot for a nice afternoon work drinks with some coworkers. read more

3 Stars - Good Food and Halloween Decorations, but Woodbury Missed the Game 7 Experience! I made a 4:15 PM reservation at Woodbury for my wife Yolanda, her friend Dawn, and my niece Tanya to watch Game 7 of the Golden State Valkyries versus the Atlanta Dream. They arrived around 4:00 PM, excited about an afternoon of basketball, food, and drinks. I had to work so I wanted them to have a good time. After reading positive reviews about Woodbury hosting watch parties, I specifically selected this location as an alternative to the crowds around Chase Center. Since I was working and couldn't attend, I wanted the ladies to enjoy a comfortable setting with a genuine Game 7 atmosphere. THE POSITIVES: The food was good! The sliders, chicken wings, and fries looked delicious and were nicely presented. The cocktails, served in tall glasses with fruit garnishes, added to the occasion. The Halloween decorations were also impressive, with skeletons, tombstones, cobwebs, and pumpkins throughout the restaurant. I especially appreciated the "GO VALKS" decoration, which suggested the restaurant was embracing the occasion. The ladies looked wonderful in their Valkyries gear and enjoyed spending time together. WHERE WOODBURY FELL SHORT: Unfortunately, the television intended for watching the game wasn't working, music was playing, and the atmosphere lacked the excitement and energy expected for Game 7. Looking at the photos, there were multiple televisions in the restaurant, which made the situation even more disappointing. My biggest concern is preparation. When guests make reservations specifically for a major sporting event, management should ensure the televisions, broadcast access, and sound are tested well before guests arrive. Technical difficulties happen, but advance planning and having a backup solution are important when hosting a watch party. They also did not seem prepared for the reservations. They were not even going to check the reservation in and did not read my notes. And I still have one question: Why was Dawn given a cowbell? Was it meant to create some game-day excitement? I appreciate the gesture and humor, but a working television with game audio would have contributed much more to the occasion! For me, this wasn't simply making a dinner reservation. I researched the location, considered previous reviews, and arranged the outing because I wanted my wife and her guests to have a memorable experience. When you recommend a venue to family, you naturally expect it to deliver on the experience that brought you there. Thankfully, the ladies enjoyed their food, drinks, and each other's company. And with the Valkyries coming out on top, there was certainly something worth celebrating! FINAL THOUGHTS: Woodbury deserves credit for its good food, attractive presentation, festive Halloween decorations, and comfortable setting. However, the primary purpose of this reservation was watching Game 7, and that expectation wasn't fully met. Would I give Woodbury another opportunity? Possibly, but I would want reassurance that the equipment and broadcast were ready before booking another major sporting event. Three stars for the food and overall setting, but better preparation and a stronger game-day atmosphere could have easily made this a five-star experience. A successful watch party requires more than decorations and reservations! read more

Came here after another bar before a dinner reservation. Wasn't crowded. Bartender was friendly. My friend got me a green tea shot which I never had before. Not sure what's in it but it was good. After that I got a jack and coke which was jack heavy. read more

Happening spot near Oracle arena, great for game day. They deal in batch so everything was fine, but don't expect too much especially from the happy hour stuff. For example, old-fashioned was on the happy hour menu and was balanced and decent. The raised by wolves, not on happy hour, had more complexity. Talk, deviled eggs, sliders And mac & cheese eggrolls met expectations. Edamame was surprisingly overcooked, first experience with that. Considering the volume, our server, kitchen stuff and Barr pumped things out. Loved that they have it dialed in and know how to work the floor. read more

Rustic charm meets chic city vibe. Stepping into Woodbury, you might think you're in Missoula Montana with the antler chandeliers and decor. Lots of wood. It's a feel-good vibe, and the waiters are super caring and nice. I went in today at happy hour but it's not my first rodeo at Woodbury. I love their happy hour menu. A glass of red for $6. And load of tasty bites to try at a decent cost. Top choice for me are their deviled eggs. But if you're hungry for some meat, add in their brisket sammy. Both are delicious. Great spot. read more

I came here with a Party of 8 on a Sunday evening. My group made a reservation the night before to watch the Warriors play Game 7 of the playoffs against the Rockets. We wanted to have food and drinks while watching the game on TV and we were able to find this place. There were a lot of Giants fans inside as a home game had just ended, but it wasn't overly crowded. The bar is a bit Western-themed and they were playing good music to my surprise. The atmosphere wasn't too rowdy as we watched the Warriors game, which was nice. The service was 5/5. I was able to check-in 30 minutes prior to the reservation time. The servers were friendly, approachable, and attentive to my large parties needs. We were able to order what we wanted and got it in a timely manner. I would give the food a 4/5, most things I tried were decent. I personally really liked the calamari and truffle fries. A little salty and smidge over seasoned, but I enjoyed both and would get it again. The drinks were decent here too. I would definitely return here to watch another game or just for the vibes. read more

This garbage salad had no beets per the menu, was made with unwashed kale, and I added steak and chicken. I got two ounces of overcooked garbage Service was great. This salad was about $30 after tip and was literally inedible. My coworker told me she got her steak medium rare but the bartender told me it wasn't possible, the steak was previously made and was "carnitas style" Carnitas is shredded pan fried pork. This was dry, awful prison steak cubes. Please come correct, or at the very least, don't pee on my leg and tell me it's rain. read more

I used to visit Woodbury in my 20s for their beer and a shot deals. Now I stay for a bite to eat before a giants game! They have a spectacular happy hour deal with a few menu and drink items, which include margaritas and tacos! We got a selection of food and drinks and dined at the bar before walking to the stadium. I was shocked how quiet it was compared to other bars near Oracle Park. Definitely recommend a visit! read more

It's a bar with a bunch of animal heads as decor. Dark, dingy, and doesn't have much character outside of those details. Came here for an event that was hosted and the menu felt limited too. I didn't get to experience this place at night time to be able to rate it's nightlife factor but based on the 1 hour I was there one evening after work, it was nothing too memorable to write home about. read more

Came here after a Giants game wings ate always fire however I got a few broken bones. Do not order shots or even a cocktail to be safe. I got a Don Julio Reposado and it was clear not dark hmm. Beware the mix the alcohol. Service was ok no one is dedicated to one away and a little on the slow side food does come out fast. Potion size for the wings are plentiful, however everything else skip you only get 2-3 pieces for the price of wings with other bar bites. Cool crowd, tables are always cleaned right away however I won't be going back. read more

I recently ordered takeout from Woodbury, and when the food arrived, it appeared to have been mishandled. While I understand that this may not be Woodbury's fault, I was disappointed with the quality of the food. Everything was overcooked and extremely hard. The wings were dry, and our fries, onion rings, and mozzarella sticks were all similarly hard. It seemed like there was no effort put into preparing the food, which was disappointing considering the amount of money we had spent. Tacos and sliders will just thrown in a to-go box. Look the nachos! We were so disappointed. I will not be ordering from Woodbury again. read more

I love this place they always make you feel welcome an are very very accommodating. I have tried almost an possibly everything on the food menu. Haven't tried every cocktail . The finally got rid of the kale Salad thank goodness I think now it's spinach which is good. I go here cause it's close have a nice atmosphere everyone is friendly and helpful and they usually go out of their way. Raj is the best for it all. I wouldn't come while there is a big game on cause it will be hella crowded so service at lest food won't be so fast or maybe accurate . Also unless you are not to hungry don't order the grill cheese it is delicious but it fits in the middle of my hand so not very big at all read more

My husband and I wanted to grab foot outside of Oracle Park prior to attending a concert there. He and I googled for restaurants in the area. Since he was craving something more in line of American food, we landed on Woodbury, which was only a couple of blocks down from the ball park. We arrived around 5pm on a Friday. It was busy sports bar, but we were able to snag a couple of spots at the bar before the crowd started picking up. We were under the impression that we made it in time for happy hour, which is made available from 4-6pm on Mondays - Fridays. That being said, we were informed after we started placing our order with the bartender that they weren't observing happy hour at the moment. Would've been nice to get the heads up prior to settling on our food items. We ordered a couple of cocktails including their spicy margarita and espressotini. Both were fine, pretty standard. We got chicken nachos, deviled eggs, and bbq brisket sliders to share. The food we ordered might as well have been stadium quality food but at a premium because of the tax and tip. read more

Big shoutout to Rah--and the guy who dropped our food off (sorry, never got your name)! Everyone that works here has such a dope, friendly vibe. Music... also very much a vibe! We were in this part of town for a concert and wanted to kill some time with a quick drink--ended up finding what might be our new go-to spot whenever we're in the city. Super chill atmosphere and just an all-around great experience. We'll definitely be back! read more

Great service and food! It was a busy game day at the restaurant and the service was still quite solid.

We discovered this place during 2024 Giants season. We were looking for a spot to get a bite before day games. Now it is our Go To. Great atmosphere. Awesome servers. Really great small bite. Good beers and cocktails. LOCATION, LOCATION, LOCATION. read more

Hailey was such a wonderful bar tender! She was so kind and made sure our drinks were fantastic! I will be coming back!!

5/30/2021 Quarantine Day 440 My friend and I came here for late night food and drinks. When we arrived, the outdoor and indoor seating was packed! So packed that we had to wait almost 15 minutes for the hostess to check us in. Before we were allowed to enter, the hostess did a temperature check on us. At the time, I checked in via yelp and the offer was to get a free Budweiser with a purchase of a burger/fried chicken sandwich. I showed our hostess the yelp offer and they gave me a free house beer instead. So my yelp friends, check-in and see if you get this yelp offer or now. I'm honestly not sure if it will still pop-up or not. We had a lot of time to decide what we wanted because there was only one hostess, one waiter, one bartender, so service was sloooow, and it was difficult to get anyone's attention until the third or fourth attempt. Perhaps they need to hire more people since the establishment was very full and with bars being reopened again, there will be no shortage of patrons. When it comes to ordering, use your phone to scan the QR code on the table. You can order on the website or through the hostess if they ever come to take your order. Anyway, here's what we got: 1. Field work IPA (bigger cup) 2. Ghost town sour (smaller cup) 3. Fish tacos (share) 4. Fried chicken sandwich (share) The fries were crispy and not too oily nor greasy. The tacos were pretty good and I liked that the fish pieces were a decent size. The chicken sandwich was juicy inside, and crispy when you bite into it. The spicy level of the sandwich was just right for me. Overall, I enjoyed the atmosphere of the place, and the food was good but it didn't blow my mind. Service could be better, but I'm willing to give it another chance because they have other drinks and food I'd like to try out. read more

Great neighborhood restaurant and bar. Decorated with lights, horns and animal heads inside and out. Outdoor street-side covered Parklets are lined with a chain of necklaces and offer overload seating when it's busy. Interior is dark, but has a comfortable vibe. Cocktails are creatively crafted, menu variety of beers on taps and a slew of wines The food menu provides fun and full bites from appetizers to full plates for munchies like every single gastropub formula for hipsters on earth: Selection of canned beers, various tater tots with aioli, deviled eggs sometimes with caviar, bacon or truffle oil, 2 kinds of sliders, something smoked or BBQed, mason jars, horns and skulls etc... Service is attentive when it's slow and keeps checking up on tables. It's a place to linger on a cold night. read more

So, so glad they're back open after the sudden lift from the latest stay-at-home order (fingers crossed everything remains open from here on out!!) and got the Groundhog Day cocktail to celebrate Groundhog's Day. The cocktail tequila-based with fruity notes with powdered frozen raspberry bits on top. It's sweet, but nothing like a sickening margarita-sweet - I found it super refreshing! Also got the fried chicken sliders (fried in mochiko flour!) and it was crispy yet EXTREMELY juicy on the inside! Highly recommend this small bite while enjoying a drink or two. Coming back here for more drinks and to try other bites - I love the patio ambiance, though the cars zooming down third during rush hour are quite loud, nothing some earbuds can't fix! read more

A little pricier than expected but still really great! We came here as group of 5 on a Saturday afternoon, after looking for a cute bar near the Caltrain stop. We got seated inside immediately and really enjoyed the holiday decor - so festive! The outdoor seating area was also appealing, but it was slightly too cold for that. You're able to order and pay for drinks/food directly from the QR code link here, which makes splitting the bill for a large party very convenient. However, they also give you the option of ordering with your server or at the bar. I started with a Christmas Mule off the Holiday Specials menu, and that was delicious - perfect for a winter drink. I also ordered the Brisket Sliders, which were fantastic but super small. They only come as two little sliders (no sides) so if you're hungry, plan to order more. Luckily, we also got truffle fries for the table, which were perfect. We also ended up getting a few rounds of shots, but these can get expensive here quickly, so I actually don't recommend it. Otherwise, great spot! read more

Close to where I work when in SF. The bartenders are great. They are talkative and engaging which is great when you are by yourself. It really helps the ambiance. The drinks they make are excellent and well balanced. I have had a few different items and they know their cocktails. Give it a try read more

Stumbled upon this bar to grab a quick drink and snacks and ended up staying for hours. The ambiance was the perfect blend of lively and cozy. The service exceeded expectations considering this is a laid back bar. Now to the main reason I'm writing this review is to say a few words about our bartender. Her name was Haley, her demeanor was warm and personable. Truly made us feel at home! You are very fortunate to have her on your staff. read more

Get rid of this racist woman. I went to get another glass of house red wine. My first glass was from the Alchemist upstairs. Excellent bartender. A bar opening because the two ppl sitting at the bar left. She finally decided to come to me, so I thought, but it was only to clean the previous guests plates and fixings. She said one sec let me clean this. (Be advised, the mess was there for awhile already.) I said no problem, just want another round of the Cabernet. She said, "one minute" I said gotcha. Was she finished cleaning she ignored me and went to a four-five guests in the corner. I was patient, I was kind, and I lost my thirst for wine. Those guys she served were already served before...rude, unrelenting, and racist. Today is my birthday as well. Spirits were all the way up, and I ain't letting her bring me down. Found another bar tender and just posting this to get it out my system, and letting it go... read more

Haley, the bartender at Woodbury is absolutely one of the most personable bartenders I have ever met. I live in Reno NV and when I visit San Francisco again, I will most definitely come back to Woodbury bar! read more

Never open when they say they are. It's like a ghost kitchen in the real sense. Not a great neighborhood unless a ball game is going on at Oracle. read more

Great bar in an area without many options. Really good reasonably priced cocktails. Great selection of beer and solid pub food. Plenty of seating and friendly bartenders. It's really kind of an all purpose bar that works for any occasion and draws an eclectic crowd. read more

We came out to San Francisco to celebrate a birthday and picked this place for drinks and dinner due to its proximity to the Hwy. our plane was due in around 5 and we wanted a place to meet some folks for dinner before heading up to wine country. Things were pretty quiet inside on a Friday night after Christmas but our bartender Rah make us feel oh so welcome. We had a group of 8 and enjoyed the great bar food like nachos and tater tots as well as the burgers and salads. They had some nice drink options too with craft beers and inventive cocktails including a Lycee Sour that several in our group enjoyed. For me the classic margarita hit the spot. With happy hour until 7 pm, the price for our food and drinks felt very reasonable. But the best part was clearly the excellent staff. read more

Dead animal heads on the wall aside, I SOOOOO enjoyed everything else about this place. We discovered this spot on Memorial Day when we tried to dine at District, but it was closed. And all I can say is that I'm super happy we did...Food is a serious five stars. I mean, EVERYTHING is stellar. We went for the Kale Salad, fried mushrooms, truffle fries, and eggplant sliders. You'd think that they were a full-on vegetarian restaurant with all of the amazing options. In terms of drinks, I was stuck on bubbly, so I can't say much about cocktails. But they kept everything a-flowin' and we never had an empty glass at the table. And that leads right into service - another 5-star. The only thing I wasn't such a super fan of was the ambiance. I mean, I hate to hold it against them, but inside is a little dark, a little masculine, and as I mentioned, I really don't care to eat amongst animal heads. The Parklet dining looked charming, and might be the way to go next time. Well...it's not my favorite neighborhood and I've managed to avoided South of Market for almost two years now, but Woodbury may just be my gateway back on these sunny summer days! read more

Came for a birthday party. Everything was amazing and the staff were accommodating and attentive. Don't skip the bulgogi tacos!

I stumbled in here on a Saturday around 11PM and surprisingly it was dead! There was no bouncer but there were two bartenders and a waitress working. We sat down and ordered drinks plus wings. I was thankful their kitchen was still open because I deff wanted some wings and to my surprise, they were delicious. Of course they weren't AMAZING, but the lemon pepper wings were comparable to Wing Stop. The only downside was their ranch wasn't the best but can't complain. I ordered an espresso martini and it wasn't again AMAZING, but still sweet yet strong. Overall, I'd definitely be back. Great spot to chill and grab a bite and drinks. The waitress was amazing and very nice. Their music was good too! read more

We came here for St. Patty's Day with a large group of Dads trying to escape their fatherly duties, and we found seats right away. Great location near the ball park, and service was excellent. I had the smashburger which was pretty good for what I thought would be bar food. Phil, the owner, was also a top notch, friendly guy! read more

Seems like everyone pitches in to help. Three people were asking if I needed anything. They recommended the deviled eggs with hot sauce; an excellent recommendation. Happy hour is a great value. Classic bar vibe. read more

The bouncer is extremely rude. Me and my friend tried to come here around 10pm. Given that many places don't serve dinner, I asked if the kitchen is still open. The guy shrugged his shoulders and mumbled something along the line of "you can check at the bar" and I was like "excuse me, I didn't hear you" and he responded "exactly. Whatever". That's not how you should treat local clientele. We turned around immediately. I am so confused. read more

Friendly staff, cold beer, really good bone marrow dish. Wings were mediocre. Too much flour/breading, could use more butter. Ranch was too thick and a little sweet (reference Wingstop for a good ranch). Would go back for a quick drink and bone marrow. read more

Today was our first time here. We met our good friend visiting from Arizona and ready to watch the Packer game and then the Niner game. #gopackgo The ambiance is amazing, the service is on point and the food...finger licking good.
