“ Definitely one of my favorite bars in Columbus. It’s a bar with a small stage on one side. Bar side bands are free. The other side has a fairly large concert venue, with all the lights and stuff to contribute to a good show. It’s typically open for shows that you either pay at the door or buy tickets online. It’s very similar to the velvet elk lounge in Boulder Colorado, but 2x the size. The food is some of the best bar food Ive ever had. Definitely worth it for food or good beer on tap. ”
“ If you're looking for a small and cozy spot with live music, tasty food offerings, and a local feel, this is your place! ”
“ Food was very good, fresh spicy Mexican with awesome sauces and chip dips. Nice craft beer selection. We drove 3 hrs to see the Joe Stamm band and couldn't have been more happy with the stage room. Awesome acoustics by Nate, not overwhelmingly loud like I was worried, it was honestly perfect. Thank you! ”
“ Wings were delicious! Staff a little negligent on caring or consideration how our food and drinks were after serving. Pop/Soda was absolutely awful Lemonade was good though. Came for ROC/Grateful Dub concert with my kiddo. ”
“ Excellent little live venue! Food is excellent and beer options are plentiful. Really cool place! Parking is tough the first time around but once you figure it out its simple. Service can be kind of rough but I've seen their bar service under staffed during a busy show and the waits were short and nobody really was wanting for anything. They do a good job of taking care of people. When you have their attention they're very attentive. I love this place! ”
“ Definitely my favorite place in central Ohio to go see live music. Very broad beer selection, and always good service. The food's not bad but I rarely eat when I'm there. They have a good liquor selection, nice patios and outdoor space, ample TVs for game watching, and a ton of high tops and chairs available in the main room. Sound in the main concert hall is always solid and I've even seen people bring their kids shows like Sierra Hull. How Woodlands is able to afford to book the talent that they do is a mystery to me. Every year, they consistently have a killer line of national, regional and local bands and musicians. If you're here from out of town and you like good live music and good beverages, Woodlands Tavern should be your evening spot... ”
