The Spotlight on The Wood BBQ & Lounge

Smoked Meats & Cool Beats in the Heart of Inglewood

The Wood BBQ & Lounge is a vibrant, laid-back barbecue joint located right on North Market Street in Inglewood. Known for its flavorful smoked meats and modern Southern-style lounge atmosphere, it’s a local favorite for pre-show bites and late-night meals. With a sleek interior, live DJ sets on select nights, and a menu stacked with BBQ classics, it’s the perfect fusion of comfort food and night-out energy—just minutes from major concert venues.

Why Concert-goers love it

Whether you're heading to a sold-out show or just want a lively spot before the music starts, The Wood delivers. Its proximity to major venues makes it an ideal stop before or after a concert. The vibe is energetic but not overwhelming, with friendly service and fast turnaround—great for fans on a schedule. The kitchen stays open late, and there’s often a DJ spinning tracks that set the tone for a night of music.

Who this Restaurant is great for

  • Groups of friends looking to share platters and pitchers before a show
  • Solo travelers wanting a flavorful, no-fuss meal at the bar
  • Couples making a date night out of dinner and a concert
  • Fans seeking an upbeat, music-friendly pre-show atmosphere

What People Say

Reviews across TripAdvisor and OpenTable rave about the tender brisket, seasoned ribs, and signature smoked wings. Guests love the full bar with specialty cocktails and the chill, modern vibe of the lounge area. Many mention how it's the perfect place to grab a bite before a concert, with helpful staff who keep things moving.

Areas for Improvement

Some diners mention that the music inside can get a little loud when DJs are playing—great for pre-show hype, but not ideal if you're looking to chat. Parking can also be a bit tight on busy nights, so rideshares might be a good call.

The Bottom Line

If you're craving bold barbecue and a lively vibe just minutes from the stage, The Wood BBQ & Lounge hits all the right notes.
