Woodshed Lounge

(118 Ratings)
Rugged and welcoming gay bar

Woodshed is the cozy-by-the-fire, handsome-lumberjack, down-to-earth gay bar you never knew you needed. It's a friendly neighborhood bar for a simple beer after work, or the frisky club to get freaky during special events like underwear contests and toga parties.

The features here include favorites like pool tables, a large outdoor patio, jukebox, and two outdoor bars--so there's plenty of space and opportunity to relax or party!

Down to earth bar scene

Regardless of this place old reputation (leather daddies/bears), today it is just a down to earth bar scene, not for those who are looking for a dance club, but simply a lounge in a woodshed scene while remembering or celebrating its history (if you go on Saturday they actually have a booth with kinky leather items, kind of fun to check out, lol) and meeting your average gay joe or catch up with friends. The drinks are sold at good value here, and membership is too. The rocking chairs in the front, or the outdoor area in the back are hot areas, the inside is dark and could use some work but if there was a day to go, it would be Sunday because that's when the really nice people show up I think, Saturday is fun too, but Sunday is more family/friend theme with the buffet at 6PM and kareoke after that, really fun time...

coo getaway- never judge a book by it's cover..

Great drinks and friendly bartenders.. I like it because it's not stuck up and shady like some of the other bars.. You're bound to meet someone here you like as a new friend or what ever your liking. The owner Greg spends a lot of time there and he is a friendly guy.. Check it out!!!
