“ One of the most welcoming, friendly and fun bars I have ever been to in Charlotte as they treat you like family whether you are a first timer or a long timer. Note that we are an interracial straight couple and at no time did we feel like we weren't welcome, as many of the regulars engaged with us and encouraged us during karaoke and we felt like we were among old friends even though we hadn't been there in over a year. It is so refreshing to go to a bar where you can kick back and have fun without being judged or worrying about someone hitting on your significant other if you leave them alone for one second. Great drink specials, awesome staff, overall amazing vibe and the best karaoke in Charlotte as you are guaranteed to have a blast whether you are gay, straight, single, coupled, as this place will welcome you with open arms and friendly smiles, so definitely check them out as it may just be the best kept secret in Charlotte! ”
“ I love this place! It was my first time visiting Charlotte, NC with friends. Everyone at the bar made us feel welcomed and at home. The owners are so personable and friendly and treated us so well. The drinks are the bomb! & inexpensive. The music is great and I loved their karaoke night. We ended up going three nights in a row because we loved the place so much. Please check them out if you’re in Charlotte. Friday, Sat and Sunday are the best days to go. ”

“ I visited this bar, and everything looks very nice. Before ordering a drink, they asked for my ID and also informed me that it is a gay bar, which is totally fine. The atmosphere is great, and on Mondays, they offer free pool (billiards). The drinks are affordable, and the bartender is friendly, just like the other guests. Overall, a cool place with a welcoming vibe! ”
“ Perfect dive bar which is my favorite kind. Definitely one of the best gay bars in Charlotte. Reminds me a bit of an Eagle with all the Tom of Finland posters/drawings. Multiple bars, a big outside patio, and a decent amount of parking. Karaoke on Sundays. ”

“ Despite the negative comments, most of them were either kicked out for acting a fool and/or just overly pretentious and angry people. The woodshed has a myriad of diverse individuals that it welcomes. They are promoting a safe, mature place for people in the LGBTQIA community to socialize. Our group loves the vibe and staff here. We have had no issues. All you have to do is be polite and mature. ”
“ This bar is amazing. Great people with a welcoming attitude. They made my last night in North Carolina a great one. Stiff drinks and good people. What more could you want? Pick a song on the jukebox and boogie. Love this place. ”
