Cape Cod Sound
A no-frills bar with great local music

T
ucked away and hard to find in some woods behind the Brewster Inn & Chowder House, the Woodshed is a no-frills nightspot that hosts some good New England bands on their way up and attracts a younger crowd of in-the-know visitors and locals who meet around the U-shaped bar. When there’s a cover, it’s a pittance.
The Woodshed organizes a 5.2-mile road race called the Brew Run every year the night before the Falmouth Road Race, run by some of the many people who couldn’t get in to that elite event, with a great post-race party at the bar.
