A MUST SEE

This is is the anchor of the gay scene in Philly. There is everything there from Twinks, queens, silverfoxes and everything in between. While it may not be everyone's cup of tea and the intensity varies every night, you can not go to Philly without makeing a trip or two to WOODY'S

Nice atmosphere - expensive drinks

Nice to have two levels, top level dance area is very spacious and worth the cover. I liked friday night better then Saturday nights music. Bigger crowds on Saturday night. Hot dancers, and they know it. Mix of men and women in the dance area, mostly men in the bar area.

Bartender with an attitude

This was my first time going to Woodys and I walked in on a Friday night and went to the first bar I saw and ordered a drink. There weren't any available bar stools to sit at but there seemed to be a more comfortable place to stand at the end of the bar. The bartender finished my drink and saw I had moved and made me walk back to where I ordered the drink before he would give it to me!!! Other than that I had an okay time.

So so

The decor is nice but it stops there. The night experience was negative...bartenders with attitude. The crowd not welcoming to people of color. Will not return.
