Woodbines on Postcard

"Woodbines is a friendly, unpretentious gastropub in downtown LIC specializing in burgers & beer. With 12 craft brews on tap and 30 bottles, you'll surely find the one that best suits you. The menu is a familiar mix of traditional Irish and American bar food. We opted for the veggie burgers which came with a side dip of mild curry sauce — a nice touch slightly to the left of ordinary. Which is something we love. Happy Hour is every day, and there is a brunch menu on weekends." - MSLK

"Woodbines is a neighborhood bar with great cocktails, and an afternoon drinking on their front patio would be an afternoon well spent. But drinks are only half the picture here, and you should absolutely explore the long menu of bar food as well. It ranges from Irish sausage rolls and curry fries, to short rib spring rolls and a lamb burger with goat cheese, all of which is available daily from 11am-10pm." - matt tervooren

Where To Eat Outside In Long Island City

"Not every bar is great for day drinking. Some make you feel like you’re hiding from a bookie or trying to drink away the memories from a heist that went bad and made you change your last name. Woodbines, however, isn’t like that. It’s a nice bright pub in Long Island City, and it’s the sort of place where you can sit at the bar, drink a beer, and read a book when you’re trying to spend minimal time outdoors." - bryan kim, matt tervooren

"Woodbine’s is a pub, but it’s nicer, cleaner, and a little more West Elm-y than the usual place where you play darts and drink Guinness. It’s open all day, they serve a full dinner menu, and they also have live music sometimes. Plus, it’s nice enough for a date (you can grab a table in the back), and it’s a good spot to hang out and eat a burger if you ever find yourself in Long Island City." - Bryan Kim

I had the basket of sweet potato fries, and the nachos! The fries were divine but the nachos, not so good! They were really dry and didn't have much black bean or filling! My friend had the short rib grilled cheese sandwich and the fried pickles, OMG, heavenly!! I gave a 4 star for food, but it would have been lower if I didn't taste my friend's grilled cheese and pickles...

Loved visiting this place with a friend for brunch! The food was great for the price and it has such a cozy vibe. The drinks are a good price as well during brunch and I would love to come back again alone or with friends. It’s small and the seating is a bit tight but it’s a good place to hang out. Definitely give it a try if you are in the area! The brunch burger was delicious and cooked how I like it but the main star for me were the truffle fries.

This cozy little bar has a great atmosphere and I was excited to walk in and sit down on a Tuesday evening while in town for work. I requested a beef dish that I guess, was on the special menu, and they weren't currently serving, so I got the pork schnitzel instead. I don't care for kale, so asked to substitute broccoli instead and was accommodated after correcting my order initially. Dinner was excellent. The wait staff was slightly inattentive. But I think he was the only person there also running the bar and therefore it is completely understandable. If I ever come back to New York I will visit again.

4.5 really, randomly walked by and became intrigued by their menu. This place did not disappoint. We ordered the kale Cesar salad, lobster mac n cheese, truffle fries. The fries were on the crunchier side which are my favorite kind and the salad was delicious. Would definitely come back time and time again.

Although we were heading to a different place to have dinner on Vernon Blvd we ended up at Woodbines. From the moment we stepped in the staff was very friendly and kind. We sat by the window and we ordered two glasses of red wine and a few plates to share. The food was simple but it was delicious! We got the jumbo wings, truffle fries, short rib spring rolls, spinach artichoke dip and in the end we shared one lamb burger. Everything was so tasty! The servers were happy and they came several times to our table to check on us. The place is cozy and the vibes were cool. We loved it. We are going back for sure!

I was hesitant to give Woodbines a second chance after my first time here, had a bad experience with a male server who was very sarcastic and rude. However, this is my second time here this week (ordered take out two days ago and dined in tonight). The service was beyond amazing. The blonde bartender was welcoming, kind, and checked on me constantly. The drinks were better than I was expecting, I had four drink total and I liked 3 of them so that’s great! The food came out so fast, literally ten minutes after ordering it, and it was hot! It didn’t look or taste like it had been sitting out which means their kitchen is on top of tickets. For having $14 cocktails (which is cheap for being in LIC), their ingredients were refreshing and delicious. My only reason for not giving 5 stars was the lack of flavor in the food, their fish in the fish and chips entree definitely could have used more salt. As for my take out order, the buffalo wings were subtle in spice and while the taco appetizer tasted very good, whatever sauce they put on top was over powering (definitely put too much sauce). Overall, woodbines is a great restaurant in LIC, their staff is welcoming and friendly, and the ambience (music, crowd, and the space itself) is worth experiencing.

The service was on point! I liked the area and the interior. The food wasn't bad, but the meats lacked a little flavor for me. They give plenty of meat in the portion, I personally just needed some more salt and pepper. I would definitely go again, the French toast was PERFECT.
