Woody's Tavern

Great Little Bar

Great atmosphere. Great place to play pool

Stopped by Woody’s Tavern this past Sunday and couldn’t have been happier with the vibe. This place is a gem—clean, laid-back, and the kind of spot where you can just kick back without any nonsense. The beer? Ice-cold and exactly what I needed. Ordered the pork nachos and was pleasantly surprised when they hit the table piled high with fresh smoked pulled pork—not that processed junk you’d expect from a lesser joint. Quality over quantity, and it shows.
Now, I peeked at some of the bad reviews before coming in, and I’ve got to say—some folks need to chill. Half of ‘em seem to come from single moms who apparently missed the giant “21 and over” sign by the door. Reading’s tough, I get it. Others hint at some discrimination vibes, but if that were the case, I’d be slapping a sixth star on this place just for keeping it real. Let’s be honest, though—Woody’s isn’t here to babysit or play nice with the easily offended.
The bar itself is top-notch—friendly staff, solid atmosphere, and they clearly know how to keep the riffraff out. Only gripe? The menu’s a bit slim. They should add bratwurst and run a campaign: “Brats outside, brats inside.” Genius, right? I’d give it a full 5 stars if they expanded it, but I’d rather have a handful of killer options than a book full of garbage. Looks like I’ve found my new go-to for sports Sundays. Woody’s gets a 4.5 from me—rounded up because they keep the brats (the annoying kind) where they belong: outside.

My absolute favorite place. The bouncers, servers, and bartenders are so welcoming and so accommodating. As a person of color, (since so many people accuse this place of not being inclusive) I love that this place is My bar home. Drinks are VERY cost friendly, the owner is in here frequently, this place is the best. Ive had birthdays, holidays, friends nights out, etc. here and am pleased every-time after 4 years. THANK YOU WOODYS<3

Week before Christmas at 5pm work crowd. Approximately 100 people and one bartender. Ridiculous. The only reason I didn't leave was I was meeting friends.
Finally just poured me a glass of water from the pitcher on the bar.

Let me be more clear, since this location wants to attempt a cya: EVERYONE IN OUR GROUP WAS WELL OVER 21. The staff member slowly approached us to ask if my wife was even with our group. Red flag number one since she clearly entered the establishment with us. Number two, simply because someone was looking at the games at the entrance doesn’t make them under 21.

I understand no under 21 policies, but next time, hide your prejudice a little better if you want people of color to come here. You can attempt another “cya” but if you even resemble a person of color, try again.

A real off the beaten path local joint. Came here from out of town to watch a game and there were more TVs in here than I ever expected to see. They also play the game volume on the speaker system instead of music which is exactly what you want from a sports bar. A solid amount of draft options too. If I were them I would get rid the kitchen and just encourage guests to door dash. The food menu is just too small.

$2 over prices pool, Weak drinks with barely any alcohol made by Reject bartenders, spotted some rat droppings behind the bar and in the restroom, People doing coke in the restroom and smoking weed outside

The bartenders tend to not give a damn about you unless you a regular
For the prices might as well go to 7th street or deep ellum

Not worth the experience

Woody's Tavern is a fun place to watch all your sports. The staff is great and it's the only place to go for good fun. The food served, it is not a restaurant, is better than most restaurants. They are more like homemade and the prices are very reasonable.

Great place but leadership / staff are a bit unsatisfying. It seems like a leaderships issue. I would hire better management if I owned the bar.

If you’re smart, you will get to know the Woody’s crew and all of their loyal regulars.
If you’re lucky, they will make you feel like part of the family, as they have always done with me. I have seen first hand how they are constantly giving and supporting not only each other, but people, small businesses, you name it.

Just trust me when I say it’s MORE THAN A BAR.
