2 reviews for Woody's Taphouse
All Reviews
Friday night I headed over to Woody's to meet up with some people. I had never been and was quite surprised to see how big and spacious it is. The doorman was a real sweetheart so things were off to a good start.
The music was awesome until about midnight when they switched to exclusively playing country music. What's up with that?!?!?
The service was good - our server was very attentive.
The crowd - hmmm... how do I sum up this crowd? The crowd was very.... odd. It was mostly guys, some of who spent the night staring (in a creepy 'stalking their prey' kinda way) at the handful of women who were there. Aside from the creepy dudes, there were A LOT of young guys. Right, and then there was the group of 8 guys who walked in alluding to the famous SNL skit 'dick in a box' by wearing boxes on their...well.. you get the picture. Like I said, very very odd crowd.
Overall, the night was fine because of the good music (again, which was only 'good' until midnight), pretty good food and good service.
Would I head back to Woody's in the near future however? Outlook not so good.
Woody's may be a good neighbourhood pub, with establishments across the city, but that doesn't mean I like going here.
My beef with Woody's comes from the dirty old men that frequent the place. As a younger girl out with a couple of other younger girlfriends, it is not uncommon to be hit on, gawked at, or even touched by some old pervert who has had one too many to drink. I find that Woody's has more of these people than any other pub in the city, which makes it a no go for me.
I suppose the prices are alright and the food is fine, but that's not enough to make me want to go here anymore. Even if I was with a giant, heavy-weight champion dude I still wouldn't want to go. It's dirty and dingy and full of nasty older men.
So sorry, Woody's, you need a new clientele to make me want to visit your establishment.
