Bill Wood Please Come Back!!!

I aways hung out at Woody's before I relocated. Just visited this past weekend and I was very sick with my Woody's experience. The bar really needs Bill to buy it back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Dirty, crowded and smelly, but i liked it!

This place was dirty, overcrowded and smelled horrible, but it was so fun! The bartenders were okay, the whole only cash thing.....kinda sketchy...i mean what are you doing...laundering money? The bartenders were really nice, and so were most of the employees.

Nice, but not out of this world

Like T.O.C., Woody's is like two places in one. the main bar upstairs and down is a busy, but casual bar and hangout. Pull up a stool and have a beer, talk with friends. Then, if you are so inclined, pay a cover to go into their large dance floor area. The crowd and the place is much more vibrant and fun. The music on the Friday I went was so, so and the crowd breaking out into line dancing was a little bit of a throwback though. I'd stop in again to give it a try on my next trip, but I wouldn't go out of my way unless there's a special event going on.
