The Woods

I love this bar it has a very good environment and plenty of little spaces to sit down and mingle or just enjoy the company you are with. Plenty of selections to choose from and the food and snacks are good too. Friendly staff.I would love to come back

5 Stars in 2021, 5 Stars in 2022 but unfortunately they have new owners and this has become a bar seeking an identity or personality. The beer selection is much much more limited and they no longer have a cocktail menu. Sure they can make you a drink but it's just your basic pour into a glass cocktail.That would be fine if the prices were commensurate with the quality but sadly that is not the case. One mixed drink and One bottled beer for over $20 (without the tip) No snacks or anything like that available for purchase or otherwise. I am sad because they had great bartenders who CRAFTED cocktails, a nice food/snack menu and let's not forget Wednesday the free Bacon. Sadly, the soul of the bar seems to be gone.

BACON NIGHT!! WHOOP WHOOP!!A dear friend of mine suggested this place many months back as a nice place to go after any routine work day and she was spot on. BACON NIGHT is every Wednesday night. At which time, one can expect a nice warm piece of bacon served with any cocktail order. Located downtown Orlando, The Woods, offers a casual atmosphere with a sophisticated charm. I have tried several different drinks at this point and my favorite is their jalapeno margarita with the house-made jalapeno infused tequila. This drink is seasonal and the menu is updated periodically to accommodate, so you have to go with the flow.

I really enjoyed this bar. They have a fantastic selection of drinks and the vibe is very chill. There are plenty of lounge areas inside to bring friends, and a variety of games to play while there.

My fav go to bar during the week. No lines, love the look inside and clean as always every time I came in. Love seeing the bartenders do their thing and what I like the most is that if I didn't like my drink, they would remake it without an attitude. I've been places where customer service lacks big time but not here and I am thankful for that. Great place to bring a date, friends, coworkers, people from out of town because the bar is upstairs and you can see the crowd of club goers from the windows.

Came here based of a recommendation from my older brother who said this was a very solid whiskey place downtown. I came early on a Saturday night, and unfortunately, was met with quite a different crowd than I was expecting. In the evenings they offer ladies drink free until 11, which is an awesome appeal for folks that are looking for somewhere to start their night. However, the DJ they had there was playing the music so loud barely anyone, even the staff, could hear. There's also a certain clientele that comes with offering free drinks so there were women jumping up and down on the tables which the DJ had to constantly address and stop the music to get them to come down. I was told that this was the whiskey bar and I asked for Maker's Mark which they didn't have. That's a very basic option. I then stepped it up and asked for Woodford reserve and they didn't have that either. Not sure this is actually a whiskey bar or if they're just a bar during the day and then a dance club at night. The bartenders both are very young and did not know a lot about pouring drinks so the consistency was terrible. I can't quite understand what the theme or vibe of the bar is supposed to be because they're playing sports on the TV and then R&B music from the DJ, then they have some tables on one side but then an open dance floor + couches on the other. Really confusing situation and we ended up leaving over to the Robinson which has a very dedicated style and atmosphere. They delivered consistency in our drinks. I'm going to consider coming back one more time during the day or evening with my older brother to see what he saw in this place but I won't be back for a nighttime experience. The main bar being a giant tree slab is super cool. Should find a way to light that up and make it a focus of the bar. Connect the mission or efforts to something "Woods" related. Smoked drinks would fit right in here. Consider doing it for every drink so you start a signature.

This is the quintessential sh*t show... they get paid to host and event and then don't show up. Lack of response, not one person showed up from the venue after over an hour wait, just an all around POS business

Sad to see them go. Today is their last day, but happy for all the memories I made there. With so many whiskey options I learned a lot about tastings and finding out what I enjoy from Scotch's and bourbons. I wish the owners well in their next adventure and thanks again for bringing a true whiskey bar experience to downtown Orlando.

No food, expensive, not friendly. 2nd floor hole in the wall. The music was good but that was all. A complete waste of time! Don't waste your time. There's a rooftop bar across the street that was much better.

Def a cool vibe, super casual. Music was decent. Great for a quick drink or a love to start the night.
