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!

Home away from home!

Friendly people with no attitude and no CLICKS! Cheap drinks and great drink specials every day! Good food served FREE to everyone on Sundays! Memberships reasonably priced and NEVER a cover for members!! If you want a down to earth group of friends... here it is!

down hill slide

the woodshed used to be a great bar, but because of constant drug use, it's really gone down hill...

So, So

Not what I expected. But when you think about it, most gay bars aren't what one would expect. Check it out if you like the divey old skool gay atmosphere.

Scary

The Brass Rail was an old divein Charlotte, but it had character and was sort of fun. Plus they had a great jukebox and HOT men. This place tries to carry on the tradition, but it is horrible. The place needs work, you might get a disease on the patio, the drinks are EXPENSIVE, and of course... ATTITUDE. There are a bunch of stuck-up queens EVERYWHERE you look. No thanks.
