this is where the life of judgement is at. this is such a great place to enjoy quality dj service, good sized drinks and men who are trying for the secret hollywood look and the ones that are trying to hepl themselves with thier common interest on sharing a man on man life together. this is a true excellent atmosphere with quality and true people here to help your life of good times during hard weeks of making the money

Just okay, but that is not good enough!

We went there twice in May. First time for happy hour and very few people there. The next day we went for lunch and we were the ONLY people there! That tells you something! Bartenders were not that friendly and they need to have the smokers stand back from the front door so that people won't choke as they enter the building. We won't return. Way too many other bars that are much nicer in the area.

OK place

Went there on a Wednesday night. Arrived about 10:30 and the place was busy with a mixed range of ages and backgrounds including college students. Quite a lot of people there alone.

Not Impressed

Traveled to Philly for their Pridefest 09. Not impressed with this establishment at all. First have to walk through the maze of smokers to enter. Doorman okay...went to orders drinks and the bartenders ignored my best friend and I on both floors. Money in hand so as to indicate we wanted drinks. These guys bypassed us at least two times. Would not give the a third chance. Left the place never to return. Went to 12th Street Command and although not a Woody's crowd we had a wonder experience. Open, Airy and the bartenders are just that great in every respect. Woody's has lost a good client in me. I will never return to this establishment. Just so you know I am 35, 5'9", 176lb, blk, brn, muscular build, educated and well travelled.
