The Woodstock

"It’s similar in design to the Woodstock, the Meatpacking bar meant to look like a 1960s living room that opened earlier this year." - Kayla Kumari Upadhyaya

"The Woodstock is a big bar in Meatpacking with original Salvador Dali paintings hanging on the walls. But before you group it with other spots in the area where doormen keep lines out front even when it’s empty inside, we want you to know that this place is chilled out. You can wear sneakers to The Woodstock, eat Neapolitan pizza at communal tables, and play pool in the back. The whole space feels like a set out of That 70’s Show, including a cozy living room with leather couches and worn-in rugs. As the night goes on, the lights dim and the music gets louder, but this is still a fairly casual spot to drink cocktails (all $10) with a big group." - Matt Tervooren

"A bar with ’60s decor, $10 cocktails, and a collection of original Salvador Dali paintings is opening on 14th Street, right near a popular entrance for the High Line. The Woodstock, opening next week at 446 West 14th St., comes from James Morrissey — the same guy behind splashy ’70s-chic bar The Vnyl that plays music picked out by Entourage actor Adrian Grenier. The 120-seat bar and restaurant is a partnership with developer Thor Equities’ David and Joe Sitt, which owns the property. Morrissey’s big sell is that all cocktails, which will change seasonally, cost $10. He wanted to open a place that served fancy drinks “at an accessible price point,” according to a statement from the restaurant, and the team landed at that price for cocktails from Soho House Group alum D’Arell Miller. Options include a drink called Electric Lady Land, made with citrus vodka, Curacao, hibiscus, lime, agave, and angostura bitters. Food will be pizza from Nino Coniglio, the chef and proprietor behind Williamsburg Pizza. Expect Neapolitan pies starting at $15. Space-wise, Morrissey’s going hard on the look of The Woodstock. Paintings from surrealist mastermind Salvador Dali will be on view, a rotating crew from a collection of 24 original paintings owned by the restaurant. The Woodstock is slated to open on Wednesday, April 4. Stay tuned for more." - Serena Dai
