Great concert but I had to leave for a few in middle to get a fan because I thought l was going to pass out. Bathroom design from the 80s I guess, huge bathroom with many stalls for men and 1 man in there and women's bathroom smaller only a few stalls and a line of 30 women like why can't they redesign this? One small heat pump a/c hanging on the wall in back of the theater with hundreds of people crammed in soaking wet with sweat. It's great beyond that but it's like they're practicing to be a theater. Ate at the Mexican restaurant there beforehand which food was okay average not bad, very convenient and they had a/c but theater was a mess it was hot before concert even started.

There's a Mexican restaurant and Tavern right next door, which are nice amenities. There was also plenty of parking and the outside was well lit. The Theater itself felt brand new. It was super modern and clean. There was a small bar with various drinks. As far as food, I only saw candy and chips listed. Water was also $4 and came in an environmentally friendly bottle. Bathrooms were downstairs, which wasn't an issue for me but could be for someone with limited mobility. If you have limited mobility and plan on visiting, I would call to ensure the restrooms can be accessed. The room where the musicians perform is large and there is a small seating area upstairs, which is a different, more expensive ticket. I did see about 5 or 6 stools downstairs for those who need to sit. Unfortunately, the main act was unable to perform but the theater did send out an email several hours before the show started to let guests know their options so that was appreciated. Overall, it's a really nice venue for a show!

We've been coming to Woodstock, NY since '01. Always talked about the Woodstock Playhouse and…read morealways said we'd come here. Never did. 24 years of "next time". Then we moved up to the Catskills. Our 10-yr-old neighbor invited us to see her perform in Babes in Toyland in Dec '25 and that was it. That was the excuse we needed and seeing her on that stage was our way in. The Woodstock Playhouse is one room. One stage. You don't get lost in it or getting to it. I bought tickets online but you can walk up too (I think). They even have veteran discounts which I took advantage of for hubs. Oh, btw- seats are actually comfortable. The sound is just right and our mezzanine seats couldn't have been any better. Even if you're up in the nosebleeds I think, you're still close enough that it feels like you're 'right there'. The ushers are solid- just people who know where you're supposed to be and will get you there in a jiffy without rushing. We waited 24 yrs to walk into this theater. We won't wait again.

It was a Thursday so maybe things weren't as busy as normal but we showed up a little early and the back biergarten was open so we got some drinks as it was a nice spring afternoon. The bartender was very friendly and when we attempted to bring our drinks around front she let us know that we had to finish them first. The Venue itself reminded me a bit of the nearby Levon Helm studios in that it's an open space with a balcony overlooking everything and seating and standing room on the base floor. One thing I loved about this show is the sound was great. We sat stage left but the PA was subtly piping the DJ and guitar parts from stage right. It wasn't a huge crowd but people were having a good time with some standing room in front of the bar dancing etc. The bartenders were super attentive and responsive during the performance. I have been to Bearsville, Levon Helm and now Colony and I really feel lucky to have such intimate performance spaces somewhat locally. All of the staff were super friendly. Will be back for sure!

Bar was overflowed and took a long time to save everyone, I think no one expected the crowd of that size. Kitchen worked smoothly and food was bar quality but decent. We had a lot of fun and definitely will be back. I took away one star because of the luck of seating. Not enough tables or bar space or any kind of seating for everyone. Only about 50 people who got there at the opening had a chance to get a seat. Others like us lucked out and had to figure out how to eat without a table .

Spent the weekend visiting the Hudson River-eastern Catskills area and decided to visit Woodstock…read more There's no shortage of restaurants to choose from, but after driving past Pearl Moon the vibes were what we were looking for, for an early lunch. We were seated right away and had the option to choose from their brunch or lunch menu. There's something for just about everyone, including vegan options. I opted for a Spicy Luna cocktail, my partner selecting a draft beer. The cocktail was excellent with the perfect kick of spice. We opted to have Lenny B's Smoke Trout Salad, the French Onion soup and split the Smoked Duck Quesadilla. The food came out in a timely manner, made with fresh ingredients, and was very tasty. Between the food, the service and the ambiance, if we lived locally, we'd definitely come back.

WHOA! Feels like you're watching a show in Levon Helm's living room - because essentially you are!…read moreThe acoustics of this venue are incredible. If you are in Woodstock, you MUST stop here and see a show. It may possibly change your life. It's a little tricky to navigate here in the dark - you feel like you're in the Blair Witch Project, then you will see a beacon of light marking the entrance to the Levon Helms Studio. Follow the light and it will show you the way!

He was doing his closing song and as we were heading out, I wanted to capture a minute of his closing song on phone and stood where the prior photographer had been and was not impacting anyone. So with a smile on my face I was capturing this last minute of the night and from behind me a bully employee decided to manhandle me and pulled my shoulders back and lifted me up and pulled me back, then repeated the action. I was horrified but left there without calling police as I didn't want a scene. My friend was a witness. Got in the car was in pain and crying went to Woodstock police next day and filed a report (described him completely) and there was absolutely nothing done to him by the police who said the assistant DA would get involved .......... never heard anything on this. Another staff member wrote me and said basically I am fabricating etc she spoke with the employee and another one who was there. I have no reason to lie and I had a witness and yet police did nothing and he was NEVER HELD ACCOUNTABLE. I had an injury from him but am healed but will NEVER GO THERE AGAIN TO BE PHYSICALLY MANHANDLED BY A BULLY EMPLOYEE and if this ever happens anywhere else (never in life has this occurred) I will call the police right on the spot.
