    Don’t look further for a suburban chill session! The team behind The Woods have some serious street credit in the Brisbane craft beer scene, and the kitchen cranks out some of the tastiest pub mains north of the river! The attention to detail is really evident, the exclusive beer ranges, plant based meal options and rotating menus that provide new experiences on every visit! If you’re in the area, and haven’t tried this place - there is simply nowhere else you should go ahead of this joint! If you’re a craft beer lover and want to escape the hustle of the overcrowded inner city locations, or want some exclusive NZ drops - venture out on the train.. you won’t be disappointed!

    Been here a few times and not once disappointed! Great selection of beers, cocktails and mocktails plus menu caters for all special dietary requirements which is important for our big group ! :) Looove their frickles!!!

    A great bar with a wide variety of tap beers and wine. A well rounded menu with bar food and nicely sized mains (no ridiculously sized meals just a focus on quality). I've always been able to get a table for myself but if you are a group its better to book ahead as it can get quite busy during peak bar times. I've generally always have had friendly service.

    Brewsvegas brought me here for my first visit. Awesome venue with a lot of seating inside and out. So many taps giving plenty of beers to choose from. Hit up the cheese burgers for lunch and doubled them as we were hungry. The cheese on this thing was off the chain, never had a waterfall like this. The thiiick as pickles cut through the copious cheese and juicy double beef stack. Classic ketchup/mustard combo to bring it all home. Beers and burgers both really good so highly recommend!

    Hands down my favourite place for lunch or a cheeky cocktail. Highlights on their menu are the sticky porky belly bites and the warmed Mt Zero olives if you’re after a nibble. Their burgers are the best in Mitchelton, and probably in my top 5 for Brisbane. A huge range of craft beers and cocktails, and a super friendly team on deck to serve you. Best of all, dog friendly!

    I like the outdoor areas and Blackwood street has a nice ambiance. Good range of beers, reasonable bar food, although I would rather the burgers came in healthier bun options. Very sugary tasting bread roll with my burger. The trickles are great!

    Live locally, nice place to have a beer, unfortunately the last visit dealt with an extremely arrogant lady behind the bar when grabbing some takeaways, I guess customer service is not what it used to be...maybe the hospitality industry is not for you.

    The ginger beer, oh my god, the ginger beer. Have one and tell me it's not the best you've ever had, go on...I'll wait..... P.s the food is pretty dope as well, try the pork bites!

    Great locals bar with a really good selection of craft beers on rotation. Good for families and furry friends too. Can get pretty busy on weekends. Also for them take away beverages hit up The Bottleshop next door.

    The beers are great, the food wasn't so good. Lamb shank with red wine rou that only tasted like watered down tomato paste 🙄. Other than that, the environment and atmosphere is great.

    Easiest 5 star I have ever given. The staff are the tops, so friendly and professional. The food is delicious and the drinks are abundant. The only way this place could possibly improve is to host live music. I had so much fun celebrating my father in laws 50th here. I want to move to Mitchelton just to be closer to the Woods. Best restaurant around.

  • 5/5 Jade P. 1 year ago on Google
    Been going to The Woods for a few years and absolutely love it - best food and best range of beers! Recently had my birthday here (25+ people) and everyone was SO impressed with the food and great service provided by all the staff. Thanks heaps to Hunter (and all of the team!) for making it such an easy process to organise, everyone had such a great time!

  • 5/5 Kirwan S. 1 year ago on Google
    Another great night was had by us. Wonderful food, awesome drinks, and the best bar staff ever! 🙌🏻 We love love love our local bar 🍻

  • 2/5 Olivia H. 2 years ago on Google
    We lived in Mitchelton for 2 years and this place was our absolute go too and I had this review at 5 stars like it use to be. We got there to order take away and after spending a few minutes crouching to look at the clip on menus in the dark we ordered only to be handed new menus instead of saying sorry that’s our old one here please pick something new. the portion sizes are sad as this is apparently what a side of fries looks like. Besides that it’s good vibes and good drinks

  • 4/5 Daniel K. 1 year ago on Google
    Nice burger, the patty was cooked medium-rare which is hard to find these days. The staff were great and welcoming, but the tall chairs at my table were very uncomfortable.

  • 5/5 Amy H. 1 year ago on Google
    Love our local bar! The take away deal is one of our weekly buys and we often enjoy an afternoon beer at the bar. The food is consistently delicious and the staff are really friendly. Great variety of drinks as well. Highly recommend.

  • 5/5 Lauren M. 1 year ago on Google
    Wow really impressed with this amazing little place! Fantastic food, great beers and even better cocktails! Not only that but they really care for their patrons, been a while since I’ve felt that in a venue. Appreciated all the little things that made hanging out that much more enjoyable! 🍻

  • 5/5 Wayne S. 3 years ago on Google
    Great spot, great food and beer. Well worth searching out and supporting during Covid situation.

  • 5/5 Stuart W. 3 years ago on Google
    Fantastic place with great beers and staff

  • 2/5 cate j. 3 years ago on Google
    Live locally and have dined in and had takeaway a number of times in the past and have always loved the food. The last two times (both takeaway) I was greeted by the front of house server (could not identify her by name but recall she had an accent) and found her to be very rude. Last time I ordered take away I was told 20 minutes but waited 45 and found the food less than ordinary, in particular the frickles were soggy and the serving size was appalling. I think we'll give Woods Bar a miss from now on.

  • 5/5 Simon E. 7 months ago on Google
    Had a great time, nice background music. Staff was very friendly. The food was great. Really recommend the Sticky Date Pudding. What a great way to finish lunch.

  • 4/5 Amanda C. 5 months ago on Google
    Another great dining experience shared with our friends last night. Staff are very knowledgeable & friendly and the laneway provides just the right atmosphere to cap off your night. See you all again soon!

  • 5/5 Himanshu P. 4 months ago on Google
    Beautiful little local bar with a great selection of craft beers. We tried a selection of share plates, and they were all great, especially the dim sums.

  • 5/5 Ali P. 4 months ago on Google
    If you go down to The Woods today, you’re sure of a big surprise. This place is a hidden treasure! There are inside and outside seating options depending on your mood. Has a relaxed and chilled vibe. Staff amazing. Food great. Cheeseburger THE BEST we’ve ever had. Great place for locals to catch up and have a cold one. Great range of boutique beers on tap… no XXXX in sight, lol! So glad we can call this our local!

  • 4/5 ocean r. 4 months ago on Google
    Beautiful food! The flat breads are amazing! We thoroughly enjoyed our meals. Very warm inside on a hot night, couldn't feel aircon at all. Welcoming and friendly staff. Great atmosphere, caters to allergies and well priced. We can't wait to come back when the weather is a little cooler.👏 👌

  • 5/5 Rosalie M. 4 months ago on Google
    As regulars here, we can't recommend The Woods Bar enough. Very friendly and attentive service, from a skilled, well-oiled team! The Espresso Martini's are the best I've had!!! Highly recommend the Pork Belly Bites and the Fattoush salad! There is such a great atmosphere too, which makes it our go to for a drink and bite to eat! We look forward to returning in 2024! Merry Christmas x

    Good selection of food and drinks, little expensive for the suburbs. Some meals are on the small side for the cost.. beef cheeks. Good flavour but the serve doesn’t represent the cost. Other meals are good value.

  • 4/5 Alecia B. 7 months ago on Google
    Love the atmosphere, the friendly staff, and a good banter with them. Food is good some days and a bit of a letdown on other days. I will always go back because the cocktails and beers and atmosphere is what I go for.

  • 5/5 Liliana Abad H. 7 months ago on Google
    The food is amazing. Great service and chilled atmosphere. Highly recommended. I have been here 4 times and the food always has been great.

  • 5/5 Gavin S. 1 year ago on Google
    Four people had four different meals. All were excellent, but mine was the best. Beef Cheek Green Curry. Funny but the other three said I was wrong, they thought theres better. Great that foir meals could be so good.

  • 3/5 Gerhard F. 7 months ago on Google
    Great vibe, good food. Would love to go more, but no real choice of beer for those who just like an old fashion traditional lager. All the beer options are crafty botanical recipe. Would be great to have a least one traditional option on tap.

  • 5/5 A P. 8 months ago on Google
    It's a bit cramped but nice atmosphere and you can tell they put care into the food. Ordered a side of frickles on a whim and they were so tastey! Ended up being a highlight of the meal for us.

  • 5/5 Anita P. 8 months ago on Google
    Beer range is always phenomenal Burgers are amazing Atmosphere is what you need 👌

  • 4/5 Bill W. 9 months ago on Google
    Service always flavours your opinion of some where new. It was the service that was gives this place charm, they were never crowding but were attentive us when needed. Helpful and polite. I will return and recommend

  • 5/5 Blair M. 11 months ago on Google
    Excellent food, amazing range of taste and flavour, great drinks with all portions being perfect. Service is flawless and training of staff is perfect. Great atmosphere and environment with amazing music. All food and drinks are fresh and full of life. Highly recommend going and having an exquisite experience.

  • 4/5 Monica D. 1 year ago on Google
    The food was good. Nice selection. Would be awesome to note on the menu if there are hot sauces added to items or a 🌶 rating as my daughter was a little limited with what she could eat. If we had realised, we would have ordered sauce on the side. Pork belly bites were awesome though and got us through!

  • 5/5 Stuart R. 3 years ago on Google
    Just a great venue for whatever occasion: be it a few weekend brews, casual Midweek lunch. The food more than satisfies and the beers are always interesting and rotating.

  • 5/5 J E. 1 year ago on Google
    Awesome bar with a great selection of drinks and several craft taps to wash down some absolutely stellar food. Helps that the service is excellent and that the place is well arranged as well.

  • 4/5 rhondda P. 3 years ago on Google

    Awesome food, delicious cocktails & good vibes, will defs be back!!!

  • 5/5 Matt W. 3 years ago on Google
    Brilliant beer selection although there was quite a few unavailable. Food was good albeit slightly above what I would call good value, by about $5 per main. Will return for sure.

  • 5/5 Rebecca B. 4 years ago on Google
    Incredible spot! Such a rarity to have a boutique craft beer bar like this in the suburbs. Perfect food pairing whether you’re looking for a pub or restaurant menu. Great place to bring mates to spend the afternoon. I had the lamb shanks and I’d happily visit to have it every night of the week 😋 Also - try the Frickles, they are delicious!!!

  • 4/5 Desmond O. 3 years ago on Google
    Good atmosphere, food and beers. Just FYI Craft prices for Schmidy (half way between schooner and middy) sized servings.

  • 5/5 Peter A. 3 years ago on Google

  • 4/5 Jim A. 3 years ago on Google
    Without a doubt the best burger i have ever had. Super service. Comfortable seating. And i have been eating burgers for 58yrs all over the world. Love the soft egg. Keep on keeping on.

  • 5/5 Ian 3 years ago on Google
    Awesome venue. Great food and great beer.

  • 5/5 Ben T. 3 years ago on Google
    What a spot. Great beer choices on a constant rotation so always a new surprise. Always recommend the lamb and you can't visit without getting frickles

  • 5/5 Hannah T. 3 years ago on Google
    Great atmosphere, good bar food and quality service

  • 5/5 Keeks 3 years ago on Google
    Absolutely delicious vegan burger, chicken schnitties and chips. Flawless table service by Ben, probably the nicest waiter we've ever met! Great selection of yummy drinks We'll definitely be back soon.

  • 5/5 Gina R. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food, great beer, great staff. The cauliflower burger was the best!

  • 5/5 Amanda H. 3 years ago on Google
    Trendy but still welcoming. Nice place to sample a craft beer.

  • 3/5 Andy R. 3 years ago on Google
    The atmosphere is great. Food was mediocre Schnitzel was very dry. Beer was marketed under the wrong label eg Motorcycle oil was sold as a stout/porter/dark beer, but it is a very pale ale similar to "Stone and Wood Pacific Pale Ale".

  • 5/5 Josh B. 3 years ago on Google
    Great food, great service and yummy cocktails.

  • 5/5 Nathan M. 3 years ago on Google
    Always great! Great food, great beer, great service!!

  • 5/5 Elliott F. 3 years ago on Google
    Amazing beer and food. Only place in Brisbane to have Range and Garage Project on tap.

  • 5/5 mark J. 3 years ago on Google
    Updated Review* Been back now several times and this bar is consistently good food and really amazing beer and drinks selection. Staff are friendly and have been great during COVID. I am happy to delete my 3 star rating from 7 months ago to make it 5 as we have been back several times now and every time had a really good night. Cheers

  • 4/5 Adam G. 3 years ago on Google
