General Wood Shop

My sister and I visited on a Friday night so parking wasn’t fun but we did find one closer than we thought we would! We walked in and it was seat yourself so we grabbed a booth. We were told right away that in an hour there would be a cover charge starting for a live DJ which was nice to have the warning for. We ordered drinks and food right away. They have quite a few drinks that looked delicious! Their menu was limited but we both found something that looked good. We only waited a minute or two for drinks and our food came out quickly. The food was really good! My sister and I always share our choices and we both had different favorites. Overall it had a great atmosphere and the staff was really friendly! Definitely recommend checking out General Wood Shop if you’re looking for a bar downtown!

If you're looking for a nice little lounge bar this is the place to go! Love the atmosphere, very laid back. Artisan drinks are fantastic and the food was absolutely delicious. Will definitely be back!!!

Yup…try this place. Small gem (bar/small dining) on Bridge just on outskirts of downtown GR. Simple yet elegant choices for food & cocktails making the experience much more pleasant (not “too many” options). They execute those fewer options very well. Vibes/atmosphere great, service was good, cocktails & food we tried were delightful! Party tried the Bao Combo (picking the Panko Chicken, Pork Belly, & Barbacoa). All three did not disappoint; full of flavor. Those were paired with the fries topped with Truffle Mayo (thinner & crispy with skin, seasoned well). Cocktails we tried was Stiffler’s Mom and Let’s Smash (both beautifully presented and tasted great). Reasonably priced for the area and quality of items/experience. If you’re looking for a new spot to enjoy - this did not disappoint. (I would love to go for Brunch - looks so fun!!!)

I had an absolutely fantastic time at General Wood Shop, the new LGBTQ+ bar in west side GR! The cocktails and mocktails were not only delicious but also unique, clearly showing the thought and care put into crafting them. The panko chicken bao was tender and the bao itself was delightfully soft. And those fries with truffle Mayo were simply scrumptious! What truly made the experience stand out was the welcoming and accepting atmosphere. It was wonderful to be in a space where everyone felt comfortable and celebrated. I can't wait to return and create more cherished memories and experiences. General Wood Shop is definitely a must-visit spot! ️‍

My friends and I came here after the Tina Turner Musical. Creative cocktails and food that are unique and incredibly tasty! For drinks, we tried PVDP, morning wood, let’s smash and Femme Fatale (special cocktail this month). For food, highly recommend the ramen burger and Bao. Fries and chips+guac were delicious. Staff were very attentive and the atmosphere was wonderful. Looking forward to visit again!!!

Amazing food and drinks!!! Highly recommend, despite the silly name its a classy establishment

Would have gotten 5 stars is the service was terrible. I have never heard nor been to general wood shop, but my friends and I were looking for a bar to spend a lot of time at ordering food and buying drinks. It was 9pm, and the tables were clearing out, but that didn't matter. The servers were more focused on talking to each other. We got our food, which was immaculate, and our drinks were delicious so much we wanted to order more......tell that to our server to snatch our water glasses without even refilling them. Never came back to the table to check if we were all set. My partner, whose card was on the tab, had to walk up to the half empty bar with 4 workers gossiping and waiting for them to be done to cash out at the bar. Needless to say, I'll only go their for carry out cause the service was awful. Which sucks because the atmosphere was actually really nice.

Great new upscale cocktail bar with drink options for everyone including many with perfect innuendo names, come see for yourself. They do not allow standing room which is nice and ensures it's not extremely packed, service was very quick. We came with a group of six and each tried a different cocktail. I recommend the "Morning Wood" which is their version of an old fashioned. My fiance got their spicy margarita and it was VERY spicy, almost too much for her to drink, but I drank it and my tongue was on fire. Looking forward to coming back and trying more drinks.
