Updated 6/11/15 – Last night we attended a “friends and media” preview party at the new Woods Tasting Room in Seattle, which opens this Saturday, June 13. Suffice it to say, we were impressed.
The new space is large but inviting. When you pull up to the location at 4700 Ohio Street, right next door to the old Woods tasting room, you’ll notice that the patio area is covered buy a large trellis. Inside, polished concrete floors, custom iron work, and lots of other custom details define the space.
I could describe it to you in greater detail, but I’ll let the photos do the talking. Other details about the Grand Opening and the new space can be found in the original post below.
Original Post: A few weeks ago we found ourselves behind the scenes for a tour of the new Woods Tasting Room. It’s gonna be awesome! Today we learned that the shared tasting room for Two Beers Brewing and Seattle Cider Company will open on Saturday, June 13.
The new location is right next door to the existing location on Ohio Ave. South in Seattle’s SoDo neighborhood. The new digs offer a lot more taps, a lot more elbow room, and a bunch of gaming options, including a very cool custom-built shuffleboard.
But don’t take my word for it; let’s hear all the details straight from the source:
