We came here during a Treasure Island outing and had a nice afternoon. There is indoor seating and a public outdoor seating area as well. We chose to sit outside because we had our dog with us and there are signs advising no dogs are allowed in the building. They have offerings of beer, wine and empanadas and we sampled them all. The bartender was very nice and made suggestions. They also had convenient public restrooms and it was a quick walk to get the ferry back. I like that even on a weekend it wasn't crowded and we were able to enjoy the weather and have some lovely conversation. There was also music playing even though we were outside and it added to the ambiance. I would definitely stop in if you're in the area.

This place is a hidden gem! Great beers on tap brewed on the island and yummy empanadas. The bar overlooks the most beautiful view of downtown San Francisco and the Bay Bridge! The bartender is so personable and knowledgeable of the history of Treasure Island. We can't wait to go back again and again to this place.

To say I love this brewery is an understatement! First experience was memorial weekend 2023, met Robert behind the bar, instantly knew we would be back. Per his suggestion, we sailed into Clipper Cove, anchored a few nights just to hang at Woods, drink great beer, eat delicious empanadas, and saddle up to talk to Robert and allow life to slow down a bit. Fireworks were fantastic, but Woods was star of show!

Exceptional beer only matched by their Exceptional customer service thanks for the experience Gannon

SUNSET spot? I think we need to try during a Sunset as a break during heavy traffic. Great views with potential.

As someone that lives in sf and never makes it out to this island, woods provides a great reason to come over.Take the ferry here and taste all the delicious woods beers and wines. The views are immaculate, a must see. You will not regret visiting, Robert the bartender is attentive and friendly. When friends visit sf I bring them here.

I am a huge fan of Woods brewery. Jim, the owner continually makes fantastic beer and wine. Finally made it out to the flagship spot, and it did not disappoint! Great atmosphere, vibe, and drinks. I’m a beer guy, and my wife is a wino so we got along great here. A win for all.

The Woods empire continues to grow. While I think their beer is just ok, they find great spots for bars and this is no exception. It's in this cool art deco building that was built for this worlds fair type thing in 1939 and has a great view of SF and a nice outdoor area to have a few beers. We didn't get any but they also had pizza from Joyride, which I hear is quite good. This is one of those places you come to for the view and that is A-OK.
Great spot! I am a huge fan of Woods brewery. Jim the owner is a master at making good beer and wine. My wife is a wino and I'm a beer guy - so it was a WIN-WIN! All for the new location too. Hip bar with cool vibes. Check it out, and try their Märzen Lager - so good! I also can appreciate that ALL of their wine is 100% natural. Why is that so hard to find?! If you're stuck in traffic, just do yourself a favor and take the Treasure Island exit, go to Woods, and strike GOLD

Interested in the Oktoberfest event they're selling tix to. Asked a couple questions a week ago via Eventbrite and Instagram, no response. Surprising for a business with several Bay Area locations.

TLDR: They're not ready to reopen and there's literally room for improvement. Hopefully, they can dial it in.Woods had to move out of a great location (a sandy lot with indoor/outdoor space) and perhaps they can turn the one they're in now into a good spot. Inside, there's a little bar in a cavernous historic building with big ol wartime murals. Outside, they have a number of wind-whipped picnic tables on a sidewalk facing a parking lot with city views and the ferry landing beyond it. Pop music on their little Sonos system. As a destination, it doesn't cut it. The beer is good enough, the wine is too. But it feels like they're half-unpacked while moving in. I'm guessing they're hoping to tread water until all those TI units come online?The bartender was super nice.EDIT: The owner communicated a clarification about their buyout policy which I previously criticized. It has been deleted. Apologies for the misunderstanding.Anyway, it'll be interesting to see how it evolves as TI opens up. Good luck, but right now, not worth the trip from the city. Hopefully for them, it becomes a local watering hole or post-work stop as the population grows out there.

Before you take the drive, know that this isn’t the old brewery, that is being demolished, what’s left is a tasting room in a weird building.

Don't come here expecting the aesthetic outside area that is displayed on this Yelp. They moved away from that area three years ago! Came here expecting a nice hangout with friends but was very upset when they only had a small inside area and picnic benches you can sit at in the parking lot. This needs to be displayed somewhere that it is nothing like the photos. Two stars are for the bartender he was friendly but we didn't even try the beer we were beyond disappointed with the outcome.
