Woodys is not like back in the days pre pandemic. It’s not a Gay Bar no more… y’all should removed the rainbow flags from y’all location. It’s Straight place, music is ok but drinks are really expensive. Sorry but sound like Woodys is all about the money and not customer service.
I shared my experience on Yelp and I believe it is important that I post it here as well- I went to woodys about two weeks ago and I was unfortunately drugged. One second I am in the upstairs area completely aware of my surroundings and the next thing I know I wake up hours later with no memory of the night. This was after having 1 drink. I've attempted to call woodys and no one has picked up. I've left more than 1 voicemail asking to talk to the manager or review the footage of the night and have been waiting to review them to give them time to respond to me and help me get justice or whatever footage I can of the night. Absolute radio silence. Seeing other people come forward about their recent experiences here has only further affirmed that not enough is being done to stop this issue. Be extra careful and make sure to keep an eye out for your friends if you go here, I would hate for what happened to me to happen to anyone else.
Woody's has become very female centric since last time (6 years ago) I was here. All restrooms are mixed. There were hetero guys, wearing chandelier earrings, making out with hetero girls. It was also expensive. $20 to get in on Saturday. The mood was like an elementary school in which gays get to braid their hair and exchange acrylics with their girlfriends. Long gone are the days of hook ups at gay bars. The macho vibe is long dead here.
Wonderful music and dancing. My only issue is that i got charged for 4 people when it was literally just me. I didn't even order drinks, and I came home to an 80$ recipt. Please just be aware!
Went there to feel safe. Didn't feel safe at all. Drinks were expensive and the DJ they have at Glo Bar was awful. (Nugget or something?) Same lame music. This place has gone downhill.
I don’t understand this place at all. This is a gay bar. They have only two types of vodka, yet 50 draft beers… umm hello the gays drink vodka! Like how do you not have Tito’s? Why are the drinks so overpriced? Not worth it.
Bought 2 shots of greygoose, and orange and goose to go costs was $55 (not including tip) came back to same globar and ordered just 2 greygoose with orange and the cost went up to $78? Really? $78 for two drinks? Way too expensive and the music was not that hype at all.
Woodys used to be a fun and safe place for my friends and I to go too. Recently it’s not what it used to be. The drinks are expensive and people throw up on the dance floor and keep going. If you are thinking about going here I would also recommend getting something to cover your drinks, there are creeps that come to this bar that will attempt to drug you. It has happened to a close friend of mine.
Overrated and expensive for mediocre drinks and service. Get some new bartenders that enjoy their jobs and it would be a decent spot.
Visiting Philly I didn’t know the bars so I looked online and found Woody’s. The guy at the door was rude. The people behind the bar were nice and helpful but didn’t wear masks. I’m not sure what the situation is in Philadelphia, but where I come from, bar/restaurant servers and staff must wear masks. Anyway, the bar had no stools so you had to stand. The place had more women than men and out of the few men in the bar, half of them looked like straight men with their partners/wives. I ordered a beer and left before finishing it. I bet this places has seen better days. My experience there was not very good.
