It was all good till the "pests" arrived

by punkrawklady

My brother and sister-in-law used this place for their rehearsal dinner. The ambiance was nice, just a little dark, but the drinks made up for that. There was a good live band playing that night. My boyfriend and I showed up early so we ordered some drinks. Everything was nice, the staff was nice (except for one blond chick who was rude, or just slow). We were sitting there chatting for almost 10 minutes when a "pest" scurried across the table (it rhymes with "coach" -- apparently, I can't say its name on this site). I wanted to say something but then my parents showed up followed by my brother-in-law and one of the bridesmaids (I guess they all traveled together). I didn't want to make a scene so I didn't say anything. I just made sure to wipe my utensils before I ate and I ordered food that required minimal preparation. The people around me complained about their food (it was either too cold or undercooked) and I had to agree. The sauce in my pasta looked coagulated, like they nuked it before they served it to me. I didn't see any other "pests" after that but that doesn't mean they weren't around....

• Pros: drinks, live band
• Cons: food, lighting, "rhymes with coaches" and has four legs

Top Queens entertainment . Oh Yeah .

by Brianblunder

If you want action in Queens without going to the city . this is a great oasis. Menu is like what you would expect in a Manhattan "Irish Restaurant" but high quality and not too expensive. Always a happy friendly staff which says alot about the easy going atmosphere. The bands are great at the weekends. hardly ever a covercharge . For me its a one stop place at the weekend on a friday or Saturday .......... food drink entertainment home . I dont have to think to hard where to go next !

yep . I like this place .

• Pros: great food . and entertainment .
• Cons: need a car taxi to get there and back . ten minute walk from subway

best pub in Queens!! a wide variety of draught beer and a Pub Quiz!!

by smile69

I frequent Woodhaven House for several reasons: great food, great service, and great entertainment! The place itself is reminiscent of a pub you would find across the pond, and it is especially cozy in the winter when the fireplace is burning. I try to order different dishes each time I go, but the goat cheese salad, the Irish breakfast, and the sesame-crusted Tilapia are my favorites. The fajitas are great as well. And the waitresses are friendly, efficient, and attentive to your table.

The entertainment at WH is also great, there's always a live band on Friday and Saturday nights that always draw diverse crowds. On some Sundays, the Human Karaoke Experience is at WH which is always a great time! I check their website to keep updated with what's going on. And my favorite of all, WH hosts a Pub Quiz (trivia night) every other Tuesday!!! It's a blast. The bartenders are very friendly and quick to get you a drink, and the drink selection is great - quite a few draught beers, and the drinks are always nice and cold!

All in all, the staff are super-friendly and always make you feel welcome. The food is consistently exceptional, and there is a welcoming bar seven days a week. What more could you want?

• Pros: Ambiance, dining experience, live music venue!
