The Stag Bar - Having fun with new friends - Dive Bars Near Me - Woodland, California

The stag has that traditional dive bar vibes with a very friendly atmosphere. I have been coming to this place for years to play shows and the owner has always been amazingly nice, and the bartenders are super chill. I LOVE this place! They have a discount if you pay in cash, and they also have small snacks like bags of chips. It really is a fun place to drop in, get a tasty drink, hang out, and listen to music! read more

In the 10 (!!!!!!) years since I've written this, the good little Stag has gotten clean, turned into a craft beer bar for a while, went through a cocktail phase (seriously got a legit caprinha here), then sort of transitioned back into a dive with a couple of good handles to choose from. Still love it. Never die Stag, never die. read more

The Stag Bar - Vic makes THE ABSOLUTE BEST Bloody Mary! You have to catch him on a Sunday though- it's the only day he works. - Dive Bars Near Me - Woodland, California

Who needs a drink. The Stag has been in Woodland forever. I remember in high school I would drive by the place and say to myself, " I cant wait till i'm old enough to go inside there and DRINK. I have been going there off and on since i've turned 2, and nothing has changed, The staff is always friendly, drinks are good and company is never bad. Sometimes they have live music, & Djs. It can get crowed there, since its such a small place but ive never have had a bad time there, & usually there is no cover charge.They also have themed nights, ie: industry night ect. Bartenders Krystyna, Skyla & Heather make pretty awesome drinks. Ive never had a bad one yet. The beer is always ice cold and the Bloody Marys are one of the best in town. There is a pool table and other games to play. There is always people inside. You can strike up and conversation with the people that are in there, cuz they are always nice. The stag is a fun place to have a drink if you are in Woodland. read more

This dive bar has been a favorite for Woodlanders- from the just turned 21 set to the seasoned drinkers . The Stag is a great place to get close to the locals. I came in with a girlfriend on Monday night- there were only a few people there. During the weekends there is more of a crowd and various events that keep folks coming back- karaoke and live music. If you're driving through downtown Woodland on Main Street, stop by this long standing dive bar for a drink. read more

This place was truly awesome. Truly. I stopped in Woodland on my way down to visit family in Southern California. I needed a good local bar to pass some time, and Yelp! helped me out again with this location. A trivia night was going on when I walked into this place...which can only be called a "dive," in the most fondest of terms. It reminded me a lot of some of the sleazier (i.e. better) bars I frequented in NYC. Anywhoo, a trivia night was going on, so some of the clientele was a little on the older side...but seemed to fit right in. A great mix of hipsters, burnouts, quiet drinkers, and loud party people were scattered through this place. Beers, shots, GREAT conversation with the owner and her temp-fill-in barkeeper kept me here much later than I had any right to be. And a great follow through to my safety, the owner got me a cab to get me back to my hotel. Since I don't have a receipt from said cab, I'm pretty sure they paid for it to. I regret to say I don't recall much of the end of that night. Shame on me. But kudos to this joint. I will DEFINITELY be stopping by here the next time I'm heading down to southern Cali. Regardless of whether I need to stay the night or not. I assume I will stay when it's over, all things considered. read more

This is my favorite bar in woodland! I've had the best memories in this bar since I turned 21. All my favorite bartenders work here and I really enjoy the atmosphere. If ya wanna have a good time go to the stag! read more

The Stag Bar - Hangin out at the Stag! - Dive Bars Near Me - Woodland, California

Cool little dive I hang out here if I'm early getting to sac airport Nice people cheap drinks read more

The Stag gets four stars because of their cheap drinks. It's a dive bar for sure but they have live music every Saturday night (and a five dollar cover) and a whole list of things during the week. I know Friday is free pool night. Thursday is reggae DJ night, Wednesday is HumpDay $1.50 shooters and a DJ plays, Tuesday are Tequila day with $3 shots *I think* Sunday and Monday are like "ridiculously cheap PBR night" The whole place has like a tavern feel to it, its dark and dismal. But the front leads right out to historic downtown Woodland and when standing outside on a Friday night you are sure to be honked at. They have one pool table thats always being used. A nice jukebox. Sports on the TVs. The owner Heather is a doll I absolutly love her and she is the number one reason I keep going back. read more

Definitely high on the dive bar favorites list! Strong drinks, great local color, bands coming through every weekend from what I understand, and an all around good time. Our group came in around midnight after one of my besties' wedding, and they embraced us with open arms. Drinks were poured quick and dirty, and all the regulars were very cool with us. I loved seeing the rockabilly fans and band groupies. I think we missed the show but had a great time joining the after party! read more

I was in Woodland taking care of some courthouse business and decided to drop into the Stag for a beer. This is a very old Woodland establishment (est. 1903), and it shows in some places. But I like the taverns so that doesn't bother me much. Let's see... Ice cold Coors Light bottle-$3.00 Bar box coin-op pool table Live music/DJ's at night with various drink specials. Big mounted deer's head, hence the name. Bumper sticker on the wall that proclaims: For a small town this one sure has a lot of assholes. Lot's of fishing, hunting and NASCAR paraphanilia. And that's the Stag for ya. There was a front page of the SF Chronicle featuring Obama and Biden pinned up on the wall, likely dated November 5th, 2008. It was a pleasant sight to see on Inaugaration Day, but it did seem out of place in this otherwise nondescript drinking man's bar. read more

Came to visit Yolo with some friends and I guess the closest night life is out in Woodland. After missing the big city bar scene, the locals took my friends and I to this spot. Hella Crackin! We roll in and it has that awesome dive bar feeling with random decorations all over the spot and the typical inked and pierced crowd. Loved that they served Fireball Whiskey and were playing Electro music. Whenever I'm around these parts I'll definitely be back! read more

Stepped in on a Sat night .Very friendly bar .GREAT Bartender named Sky. . We're going to see her again on Tuesday for Karaoke. Dave & Toni Andrade read more

I came here on a Saturday and it was so lame. They're DJ named DJ Bmode was on that night and I think it's time for them to get Dj barcode at least he's nice to everyone and not Rude when people request songs for them to play. At least turn up the AC it was so hot in there and there bathrooms were out of order so I had to make a piss outside how sad is that. I don't recommend this place to no more especially on Saturday night read more

I checked the place out on a Saturday afternoon, and it was pretty quite, but totally authentic and obviously has potential. I ow the place a longer review when I can make it on a Saturday night sometime. read more

I give this place 0 stars BUT WOULDN'T LET ME POST WITHOUT AT LEAST 1. A the bartender I believe her name is Heather was so rude literally walked out without finishing a drink. I would never recommend or go back to this place EVER. read more

great dive bar. killed some time here while i was waiting for my buddy to land after a delay at Sac airport. sat across from the stag himself, and looked him in his cold, hard eyes. read more

Never been to Woodland, and our first trip was quite memorable. Kenny greeted us at the door and Heather gave us a warm welcome at the bar. many of the locals were happy to talk to complete strangers and after we got off stage, many compliments were given to us. This a a very friendly bar with a great local atmosphere. Live music and affordable drinks make a Saturday night enjoyable and relaxing. read more

Unfortunately the owner keeps asking me to take down my review. The point of yelp is that people can read about customer experiences- good or bad-and use that information to decide if they want to patronize a business; that doesn't work if people are asked to censor what they post read more

A true definition of a dive bar. It is located in the heart of downtown Woodland. It looks to be a local establishment in woodland.

You know..for Woodland, you can't beat it..when its my Friday (I work nights) and I want a shot and a cold beer at 6 AM, the Stag has and is always there for me..It is always clean, and whoever is behind the bar is friendly and accommodating. I like the fact that if I am in the mood there is a stripper pool for me to get up on too.. read more

Cool place to hang and have a drink. The bar tenders and the rest of the staff are pretty friendly too. They even have live music sometimes (which Woodland desperately needs more of) along the lines of punk, country, bluegrass, metal, indie and beyond. The only down sides are too many fights, all the vomit and piss all over the men's restroom lol and the fact that trivia night is gone... read more

Been coming here for years. They stopped doing the 1$ pbr saturdays LONG time ago but still the cheapest drinks in town. I come here about once a week. Tuesdays are nice becuase of karaoke. Also they serve tacos outside from time to time. Crowd is random, hit or miss, great and chill. read more

Great downtown woodland bar! Good Vibe and has a great variety of beer on tap. If your looking to get your drink on is a must to stop by.

The Stag is a staple in Woodland. Great atmosphere with good tunes on all the time. The owner rocks. This is the best Bar in Woodland.
