Philly.comNovember 1, 2013Woody’s is the heart of Philly's gay nightlife. Downstairs caters to a more mature crowd, offering craft beer and a delicious food menu. Upstairs is where the party really happens. Read more
The only place to go out on a Wednesday night in Philly (besides Voyeur across the street). Campy music in the front, hip-hop (inexplicably) in the back with all the neon lighting.
The best gay club in Philly IMO. There are other great clubs in the city for the gays, but Woodys by far (especially after the renovation) is a treat & a great spot to introduce a new gay to the city.
This gayborhood haven for all boasts a welcoming vibe conducive to LGBT singles looking to meet someone; equal parts pub and club, the downstairs offers food and a large beer selection.
Adam CernyNovember 23, 2014If you love to dance it up to tunes you'll actually recognize, visit Woody's. This classic Philadelphia venue is not one to be missed. Tip - download their app on your phone while you're there. :)
Corey KellyNovember 25, 2012Most popular gay bar in Philly. Recently renovated with an updated bi-level interior and spectacular beer selection. The gay Cheers of Philly where everybody knows your name and who you've slept with.
Patrick WardAugust 3, 2015If you're ready to dance, the two rooms upstairs are great on the weekends. Although it's better with a group as the crowd is hit or miss. The downstairs isn't a very nice space
visitPAOctober 31, 2011Woody’s offers eclectic themes & events, from Latin to country-western nights. They dish up a mean brunch, too, completed by Bloody Marys made with cucumber vodka. You just know you'll be back.
Scott AllanAugust 19, 2018It’s really going downhill. Now with a cover and bachelorette parties! Give me a break!
A great selection of 32 craft beers that u should try... And although it may be biased, make sure to visit @RickyMak at the main bar if u can appreciate good bartending.
Ashley MerzMarch 14, 2016Woody's is so much fun! This is a great place to dance the night away regardless of your sexual preferences
Bar AIDS PhillySeptember 7, 2012Grab a drink at Woody's during Philly's 3rd Annual Bar AIDS on Thursday, September 27. A portion of your coffees and cocktails all day long benefits 4 local AIDS service organizations. Cheers! Read more
ManhuntSeptember 20, 2011If you aren't a cocktail guy, and into beer - this is your place! They have so many varieties!
CarolJuly 2, 2015Interesting music choices upstairs. One room had Latino music and the other had pop.
Christian PoulsenMarch 23, 2014Saturday night...$9.90 vodka and cranbeery, then 10 dollars if you want to go upstairs to dance...ouch
Try the flavored Red Bull. Blueberry, cranberry, and lime.
You have to try one of the craft beers! There's always some new additions every week!!!
Norma McNeil IIDecember 3, 2010Check out Friday Night Country Western Dancing. Get there b4 10 and it's free! Friendly people and a welcoming dancefloor to those with open minds.
Gabriela 💃 Magda 💃November 3, 2013Strong drinks and great music. The upstairs space is where it's at.
Sounds like they expect the first-floor construction to be finished by "the end of summer." Don't let that stop you: it's a great bar with great staff!
Ro MichaelJune 11, 2023Woman at the front told me I should "get a better job" because I didn't want to pay the cover. Once inside, it was filled with straight people spilling drinks, bumping into others, and making out.
G Philly From Philadelphia MagazineMarch 30, 2011We love Woody's for happy hour and late nights. You won't be disappointed by the pub grub. Tell Austin the bartender hello from us.- When you are here at Woody's you need to try any of the Yards beers. They have 3 right now to choose from!
- Visit PhillyMarch 6, 2012Order a drink--double the size of its competitors--at this popular Gayborhood bar.
- Now the newest beer lover's paradise in the Gayborhood. 32 beers on tap, including 28 craft and microbrews.
Mixed drinks are expensive ($10) but have more than twice the amount of alcohol than other places. So it's a good deal - just pace yourself.
Surprisingly good beer list. What really shines is the dance floor
Bring ear plugs, the fire alarm is sure to go off . . . Four times. Ya would never know these are apparently experts in owning clubs
If you just want to dance for a little bit, wait until 1:30 to hit the dance floor. They waive cover for the last half hour.
Jackie SeigleAugust 16, 2011The gay landmark of Philadelphia. Undergoing renovations and will soon have a huge craft beer menu
Ricky Mac. Spa-loosh. Great, sexy, funny, adorable bartender. Makes the best cock... tails...
- Great beer selection and plenty of very kind and knowledgeable staff
$10 cover on Saturday night is a sign of greed on the part of the management of this establishment
Michael WeinfeldFebruary 11, 2013Need better service.....I am a bartender and didn't want to to stay since it appeared as if it didn't matter if I was there or not to them....pricey drinks!
- The kitchen is now open for dinner! (I assume more will follow.)
When they say mixed crowd they wasnt lying old young men women all colors are welcome
JetzNYDecember 11, 2010Friday night $5 cover upstairs played 80's - a little bit of everything. Good time
