Fan of good burgers? Then you're a fan of woodys! All of the burgers on the menu won't disappoint. As with all BigOnion bars, the beer selection is always good.

Really good food and tasty cocktails. The best part about this place is the chill but fun vibe (Friday after work) and the service was excellent.

If you like onions, get the Big O Burger. Sangria is solid, as is the Root Beer (10% abv!). Keep an eye out for sangria pitcher or fishbowl specials (Thursday and Friday).

Ohio State bar with amazing sweet potato fries and a great selection of beer. Always busy, highly recommended.

Try the root beer beer. Gets loud after 9 so don't try to have a in depth convo. Love that it is multiple levels for when you want a change of scenery.

Great place to drink after some rec sports at North Ave Beach. It also gets pretty crowded at night and is filled with mid to late 20 year olds.

Fun place with solid food during the day. I recommend their appetizers and sandwiches. You can't go wrong.

Went for brunch on a Sunday and was impressed with the staff. I had the biscuits and gravy and they were amazing!

Half off bottles of wine on Thursdays! Yummy food. Make sure you have people to share nachos with because they are huge! :)

Great burgers and they don't charge extra for bison patties. The shrimp tacos are really good as well.

Woodie’s is always fun but it’s small inside and gets really crowded

The brunch here is below mediocre. Not worth it.
