I saw the name, and knew this was the right place for us. We'd spent part of the day outside in a friend's backyard, and were ready for a nice, relaxing dinner, in a cool place, but we didn't really want anything fancy (other than our drinks, always). My Manhattan was perfect, as was my husband's Old Fashioned. And my Italian sub was so good I was craving it again two days later. My husband also enjoyed his club. The only problem was, we live an hour away so I couldn't just jump in the car and go pick up an their sub whenever I wanted one. Our server and the owner were both great, the restaurant was spotless, they let us linger, and we truly had the best time. If only there was one closer to us! But this is the kind of place we'd drive out of our way to visit, so I'm guessing we'll be back up in Woodstock to visit them again one of these days! read more

My other half and I were looking for a casual spot where we could enjoy good drinks & a light dinner. Based on other Yelp reviews we decided to try something new and head to Sofie's. The location is spacious with "clean" decor. There's a bar and several high top seats for dining as well as a more conversational sitting area up front. There are a couple of outside tables. This is not a loud bustling place. The two times we've been there have been a few other guests at the bar and the whole place has a very friendly vibe. The drinks are simple but with clever touches. Their Sofie's old fashioned comes with a rock candy stir stick, and their Buffalo Bourbon Smash and Blood Orange Mojito are also favorites of ours. The menu is simple but high quality. We opted for deli sandwiches and they were fabulous! As another reviewer also said - I'm still thinking about that Italian sandwich! They have several small Plates as well as pizza. The only hitch was we had wanted to play a table game while we were there and the manager very kindly explained that because they also have gaming, any other games that involve cards or dice games aren't allowed per stat ordinance. Kind of a bummer because I'd come more often if we could bring our own games. Definitely a place worth checking out! read more

My girlfriend brought me home a London broil sandwich for dinner, Oh WOW! Hands down it was one of the best sandwiches I have eaten in a very long time, the quality of ingredients, flavor profile and freshness are unmatched! Not to mention the amazing bread it was constructed on....that is sandwich artistry at its best without a doubt. Thank you Sofies, for the love you put into your Menu. Like Arnold Schwarzenager says in the Terminator" I'll be back" for sure! read more

Finally came to Woodstock to try this place. They have a long list of bourbons, whiskys, and several cocktails. Hubby was excited to talk whisky with them and they recommended Oban 14 year Scotch Whiskey. $12 He is delighted with this drink. I opted for one of their Fall Drink Specials: Apple Cider Smash $10. Loved it after the third sip. Come in wearing your face mask. Hand sanitizer is on the wall right by the door and on the bar counter. N'lisa took our order and kept us happy. Thank you! read more

I had the sliders 4 out of 5... the waiter was very fast and uplifting person. Very quiet Great for conversation. Nice fireplace!

Good service. Food ok. Pricey for what it was. Paid $48 with tip for 3 sliders, one flatbread pizza and a cocktail. This is one of those small gambling places disguised as a restaurant. I would avoid it. No one else in there eating. A handful of people at the slot machines occasionally leaving for a smoke. read more

Omg the seasonal menus are AMAZING! You must go in and try! The food is fantastic also and seasonal cocktail's. Don't miss the summer ones and they now have salads !

Sofie's is a sophisticated bar atmosphere. Not your typical wings and cheese sticks bar food place, but charcuterie board, quinoa bowl, warm sandwich slider, flatbread kind of place. We hosted a birthday party here and they were very accommodating. Everyone loved the vibe of the place. The food, drinks, and service were 5 stars, even with our big group. Highly recommend to check them out. read more

I usually come in to go to their video gaming, which by the way is a great environment. But the food is really great too. I have only have had their small plates, but everything I have tried is really good. It is a nice blend of flavors and presentation. Yummy. The staff is super nice and friendly; when I come in they say hi to me with my name. The atmosphere is wonderful, cozy with wall fireplaces. I think it has the nicest atmosphere in town. I wish I drank because the whiskey and wine looks great. A friend had someone and said it was really really nice. read more

**Review based on drinks and service. We didn't eat this time. A really cute spot...an incredible listing of bourbon, rye, whiskey and scotch! Impressive! Nice, innovative cocktails and decent wine list. Our bartender was extremely friendly and knowledgeable. I hope folks give this new little addition a try! read more

Excellent drinks and food. Love the atmosphere. If you want good conversation this is the place to go.

Excellent place and highly recommend. Food and drinks are excellent! Seem a bit short on help though. Only one young lady running the whole place! Maybe just a fluke? read more

They aren't even "fully" open yet. I enjoyed the specialty smokin' old fashioned. Light eats and delicious food. read more

Sofie's provides innovative food and drink menus, and excellent service in a comfortable atmosphere. Their beverages never disappoint, and there is something on the menu for everyone. The same can be said of their food menu, whether you want small plates, delicious sandwiches, or even pizza. read more

I went to Sofie's soft opening, not even knowing they were open yet. I had planned to go next door to the microbrew because they had a food truck outside. But Sofie's was a GREAT and better choice. I went back the next weekend and will return many times! Sofie's has an excellent selection of bourbons (my preference), plus other whiskeys, wines, and beverages. The servers and the owner were very knowledgable and attentive. For their food, so far I have only tried one sandwich, but plan to order their pizza and other menu items soon. read more

Buffalo bourbon smash and melon-ade shakeup.... to die for. Good service too! Very welcoming atmosphere! read more

We really wanted to try this place and we finally did. When you walk in the interior has a whiskey barrel/modern feel and the smells were great, so our expectations were high. The server was polite while we were there, but she didn't have the answers to everything and had to walk away a couple of times to get them. When it came to the drink menu there was a few selections of house cocktails. The only cocktail tried was the smokin old fashioned was not Impressed. We also had 2oz pours of multiple bourbons and even the barrel aged tequila that they use for one of their drinks. They also didn't have everything listed since they were on "back order." Over all the whiskey list was nothing special, it seemed as if everything they had you can easily find at liquor store. I feel they need to get some more rare whiskeys that actually draw attention. Now for the food, we had some Ruben sandwiches and a pizza. The Ruben tasted good, but nothing above average using boars head meats and cheese. The pizza was not good, way too much sauce which tasted as if it was from a jar and not enough cheese or meat. The manager(or owner) did remake the first pizza since he was not pleased with how it turned out and we give him credit for not serving food under his expectations. However, that couldn't save the pizza from its poor execution. Above all, the food is way over priced and even the pours of whiskey were above the average price else where. With everything said, our group of 4 all agreed that this isn't the place for us. We want something that offers a better drink and food selections at reasonable prices. read more
