good people
Woody's a great place with a great staff and good food.....if you have a bad time well maybe it is you! Lunch is great with an older group and a funny, attentive bartender!
Get Your Fish At The Market
Aside from play rather old videos and charging $5 to go upstairs to see straight guys in the speedo's, there were times when the straight women out numbered the gay men. Total Turn Off! Update the music, update the video screens and enough with the bridal parties.
Make This Your First Stop; It May Be Your Last....
Woody's is without doubt Philadelphia's finest "Gay Bar." It's both Friendly and Hot. The drinks are good, the bartenders are hot, the music rocks, and the company it keeps (i.e., the people who frequent it) is so varied, so very fine, and so very safe yet delicious. If you like to talk, drink, dance, and hook-up, this is the place for you. Locals love it....if you are an "out-of-towner," you can't afford to miss it.
Woody's - The Cheers of Gay Philly
"Where everybody knows your name..." Go there a few times and you will know what I mean. the drinks are cold and the hearts are warm. Everybody is out to have a good time and they go about it in a friendly and respectful way. There is something going on almost every night. Monday's is Karaoke with Sallotta Tee, and everyone wants to sing. From a Soprano singing Broadway tunes to even a Tony Soprano Singing Sinatra you will find it all. Oh, and did I mention Mr. Gay Philadelphia is the DJ that night. Wednesday is Teen night and the staff is very careful with their customers that night. This event is on the 2nd floor and no liquor is served at all up there. The teens entering go through 3 different checkpoints, nothing is carried in without being checked. this of course is all to ensure that their patrons have a good and safe time. Thursday is Latino night. they even have a country line dancing night on Friday. Then comes the weekend and I have three words for that. PARTY, PARTY, PARTY! Don't miss out on the fun. "And they're always glad you came. You wanna be where you can go and everybody's all the same. You wanna go where everybody knows your name."
