On a busy stretch of bars and restaurants, The Woods cocktail bar stands out with it's 1930s theme, fun decor and fairy tale cocktails. The ambience is sophisticated but relaxed, with touches of dark wood, moody lighting and it's bottle lined bar. Staff are welcoming and the place was full on a Friday night, so even though it was busy, the service was still really good.
We enjoyed several drinks, and liked the fact that they have a good whisky selection. Our drinks were delicious, and we would happily come back to try the fun cocktails.

In writing this review I have just realised that I’ve been here before. This bar must have changed hands because it’s a LOT different to what it used to be and for me, not in a good way in regards to the ambience.
My partner and a friend called into this bar for a post dinner drink. The service was friendly.
This cocktail bar is really bright and not the kind of relaxed, chilled place that we were looking for.
But as we were there we order a cocktail each which were
named after fairy tales or something similar.
My cocktail was Alice in Wonderland which was Vanilla Vodka, Passionfruit, Coconut, Lemon and Aquafina.
The second cocktail was Deer oh Deer, which was Tequila, Agave, Lime, Peppercorns, Mandarin foam and black salt.
The third cocktail was Fantastic Mr Fox which was Gin, Sloe Gin, Strawberry, Sage, Lemon and Aquafina.
The cocktails were nice, but really sweet but they were presented really well so that counts right? Lol
It was a nice place but I'm not sure if I'd rush back.

I went to this whisky bar tonight. This whisky bar on Chapel Street reminded me of an English Hotel, 1930’s style with the taxidermy, the Fox and Hounds, the lighting, and the heavy wood.
This bar has 3 different sections with different spaces to relax and enjoy a drink.
Thursday nights are live blues nights and whilst I missed the live act, the music was blues/soul inspired and it was excellent. Really good fun.
The Woods of Windsor has had new owners since December 2017 with 2 mates buying the bar together. They are both young, enthusiastic and this is reflected in their positive attitudes.
Food wise I had a 3 cheese toasted sandwich which is melt in the mouth amazing! Wow! Cheese w a hint of whisky ... Mmnn the chef described this to me as a vegan cheese toastie lol.
The gluten free chicken wings are lightly spiced and oh soo good, and this is bar food at its finest.
Bonnie the bar manager has created her own cocktail which was sweet n sour, and sooo delicious!!
This place is a must visit, because even of your not a whisky fan, they can definitely make you a cocktail to blow your socks off! Yes yes yes hahaha.
I just want to thank the Woods of Windsor for the invitation to visit their bar.
Amazing cocktails and atmosphere.
