Great place to play pool, and the music is always fire! I've only met chill people here, too!
This has to be the most coolest places in Bushwick. The food is great! The veggie burger/fries and crawfish Mac and cheese slaps like crazy!! The drinks definitely hit and the bartenders are phenomenal. You'll never know what's happening here. It could be karaoke, trivia, bingo or a pool party. You don't want to miss! It's definitely a great time no matter what day it is.
Cheap drinks and it has a pool table, what more could you want?? Also cozy seats which is rare for a bar, bonus points!
This bar/restaurant is right on the corner, off the Jefferson L stop. I stopped by for dinner with my date on a Monday night. The place is surprisingly big - the back area has pool and a whole outdoor area. Since it was Monday, the back area was dead, but the front had a steady enough crowd, keeping the place always a little more than half full. Very casual vibe, maybe a little distracted service at times, but really friendly. We ordered the crawfish Mac and cheese, crawburger, and the catfish po boy. All were good! The Mac and cheese had some big pieces of fish and was definitely the standout item. Love this spot!
My partner and I were seeing a show in the area and wanted to try a new spot, so after some research, we landed on Heavy Woods! Drinks were decent prices, and food was good. I really enjoyed the crawfish dip and the fried chicken sandwich was solid, too. The tots had a perfect amount of seasoning. Wasn't too packed when we went, and the service was fantastic. We will definitely be back!
For a dive bar, it's solid. But you need to walk in and use your eyes lol it's not the fanciest. but if you want a nice and simple meal and a beer, this is solid. Burger for $10, $4 for tots extra. Chicken sandwich is $15. Beers are like $6 for draft and then a beer shot ranges from $6 - $9. All in all, a very solid place to just hangout, grab some cheap eats, and get drunk really fast. They also have a pool table in the back for you to just chill and hang out. One bathroom, a bit tough.
I've always liked heavy woods and thought their food was pretty good (best tots in all the land!) But they just revamped their menu and it's now even better and deserves some kudos for that. The fried chicken sando was always a mainstay for me but they updated the breading to be a bit spicier and it sticks to the chicken much more effectively. The chicken itself is also juicier. It's now graduated from an ole faithful to one of my favorite chicken sandwiches in the area. Now they also have an amazing new dipping sauce called hot garlic Mayo. What is it? Unsure. It tastes a bit like a remoulade and has tons of flavor. It is amazing on the chicken sandwich and also... on tots. Did I mention the tots? They have some kind of Cajun spicing on them that really makes them amazing. Ive also tried the veggie Mac. I thought it was ok but I also was deathly Ill and I hear the crawfish mac is amazing. All in all Heavy Woods is even better now than it was. The drinks and bartenders are reliably good. It's a fun spot and I've seen folks post up with a book or come with friends for trivia. Perfect neighborhood spot, new and improved!
