Emerson Oliver - Woodstock

This venue is like a hidden gem with a secret entrance that requires a password! The atmosphere is fantastic with great music and a relaxed vibe. However, there should be more consistency with the menu options. The food that was available was tasty but on the pricier side. They offer a fun selection of cocktails and overall, the place has a lot of potential.

Amazing!!! The food and drinks were excellent, the music was great, and the service was fantastic. I can't wait to return and share this unique experience with everyone. I especially loved the password concept, it really added to the speakeasy vibe.

Shhh... it 's a secret. Gotta figure out the 'password ' to this cozy basement speakeasy on the square. The deceiving entry makes it more fun! Fridays have live musical talent. Very small venue, but that makes it better. Interesting drink menu. Their Old Fashion with Tequila was outstanding, but then it was actually exceeded by their Queen Anne Chocolate Martini. Nice bourbon selection as well. Suggest eating beforehand, as their food menu is more snacks their focus is their libations, and they do that well. Their staff is very friendly and capable. Won 't be long till it 's too popular to get in...

Our first visit to Emerson and Oliver was not what we expected. We were invited by another couple who had enjoyed their experience there before. Upon arrival, we were greeted by friendly staff and loved the atmosphere. However, our excitement quickly turned to disappointment as we waited over 30 minutes without anyone coming to our table. Despite only a few occupied tables, the service was incredibly slow. It took over two hours for us to receive our drinks, and we had to go up to the bar to get our check. The only highlight of the evening was the fantastic performance by the musician. The server admitted to being a mess that night, but her lack of effort to rectify the situation was disappointing. The delicious drinks were overshadowed by the poor service, which may dissuade customers from returning. Hopefully, this was not intentional, but the experience left us questioning the restaurant's dedication to customer satisfaction.

Their cocktails and mocktails are so good I seriously don't even know how they do it. They have live music and it's a fun speakeasy environment. I don't want to ruin the fun by saying how, but know that you need a password to enter.
