A dear project of three sisters, Victoria, Juliette and Regina Chow, The Woods is a themed Cocktail bar designed to entertain patrons with well-crafted drinks and tasteful ambiance. The decor of this classy bar derives inspiration from the wilderness and city life. It is rustic where it should and modern in certain spots with soothing lights acting as a catalyst in between two worlds. The drinks at The Woods are made after thoughtful considerations over ingredients; meticulous research, spirits of superlative quality and fresh produce go in the making of these masterpieces. Such is the painstaking effort gone into the creation of their cocktails that The Woods even has their own ice program and only house-made, crystal-clear cubes are used to cool every drink here. The place can seat over 50 patrons but their bar area only entertains reservations because it is here that they serve the Prix-Fixe cocktail menu, every sip and bite of which is a multi-sensory experience.
