Woody's

Happy hour downstairs was great. Friendly service, good prices drinks and food. The dance floor upstairs is another story. It’s giving weird straight club vibes. They charge TEN DOLLARS for a can of Miller Lite. Hard pass

I’ve been to Woody’s a few times over the years and my favorite time to attend is for Philadelphia Black Gay Pride. However, if I’m in town visiting randomly I love to go on a Friday or Saturday night. It’s a lot of fun, it’s multi clubs within this large space, different music styles and multiple bars to get drinks. I never ate food from there and didn’t even know they served food to be honest, but I spend all my money on drinks. I think the venue is affordable and safe with plenty of security which is a major plus! Love a safe space to be who you are for your pride.

Woody’s is honestly one of the most iconic gay bars/clubs in Philly and definitely a staple in the LGBTQ+ nightlife scene. The vibe is always fun, energetic, and welcoming whether you’re going with friends, celebrating something, or just looking for a good night out. One thing I really like about Woody’s is that it has different sections and music depending on the night. You can dance, hang out at the bar, or just move around and meet people. The music is usually a mix of pop hits, throwbacks, dance music, and some hip-hop depending on the DJ and event. The crowd is usually really diverse too, which makes it feel comfortable for a lot of different people. The drinks are pretty standard club/bar prices for Center City Philly, not cheap but not ridiculously overpriced either. The bartenders and staff have always been nice in my experience, and overall it’s just a really fun atmosphere. Like any busy nightlife spot, just stay aware of your belongings and surroundings, especially on packed weekends. But overall, Woody’s is definitely a great spot if you want a fun night out, especially if you’re new to Philly or want to experience one of the city’s most well-known LGBTQ+ clubs. They also just remodeled their whole entire upper floor

Love a trip to woodys! It’s not the same as some queer elders experienced it but can still be fun! the downside of woodys is that once upstairs opens the straight men are trying to hit on girls ( queer ones at that) also pick pocketing is a HUGE issue here, your phone will be in china by morning if someone gets ahold of it. LOVE LOVE LOVEE the bartenders esp the downstairs ones! I would recommend woodys more for casual drinks downstairs but i’ve had some really great times dancing upstairs too! get there before upstairs opens for free entry! No food the kitchens been opening soon for months lol. DEFINITELY order a green tea shot here, it’ll get ya going for sure!

We noticed that Woody's had a lot of seats available. We decided to watch the game there. As I produced my Driver's license. I showed him the barcode. It scanned. Which works at other clubs. He asked to see my photo and pulled my license toward his chest. I felt a bit scared and said "hey give it back". He brought the license a bit closer and I grabbed the license and put it in my pocket. But I felt afraid. And we immediately left. What a change this place has had. My girlfriends and I used to stop here often. I probably won't ever return to Woody's.
