There's No Such Thing as Woodson and Ford
Just one day after learning about a possible new speakeasy cocktail lounge, DBTH has learned from someone not involved with space that nothing named Woodson and Ford exists. We repeat, there is no Woodson and Ford. From our Little Birdy who sits way up high in the tree:
We are not open. We are only open for private events. The blogger on booze NYC was incorrect and has corrected his errors. If you could also correct them on your site as well. There is no official name and printing it is a problem since it involved our business partners. Please respect our wishes. When we are ready to open to the public we will let you know.
While we have spoken to people who have been to the event space ("really cool", "can't believe this is Table 50. Do you remember Q Tip Parties there?"), like most good things it got out before it was time. People involved with the bar also took to the Boozer's comments to set the facts straight. We cherry picked some of the most poignant quotes, after the jump.
for those of you under the assumption that this is any thing other than an event space let me clear something up quickly. the bar that was formerly mr.black does not yet have an official name, the space itself can only be rented or booked for private party purposes, hence the use of a password to keep un-invited guests firmly out! it will not be open to the public on a day to day basis at any time in the near future and neither is it an illegal space. please do not show up at the address because there is nothing open unless you have been invited by someone hosting a pre-arranged event there.
And:
As far as the space "head bartender" you will not receive any passwords. The unamed establishment is an event space. Clearly stealing our menus is frowned upon and since I would have seen you taking copious notes or taking photos I can only assume you vandalized our vintage books. I hope you enjoyed the event you attended but please fact check your blog. Woodson and ford is the zacapa cocktail name not the space.
Boozey replies:
Taking photos is easier than you think :) No books were vandalized in the process. You guys insist it's an event space and that's fine but I've never seen booze prices listed at a private party. That said, the place is great and we look forward to it being open for everyone.
Welcome to the party BoozyNYC.
