Totally gay.

by bolloxy

Wear what you want.. some people dress up, some come in jeans and sneakers. I am over 21 and paid $2 to get in on a Wednesday night, which is 18+ night. If you're under 21, the cover is $5. Drinks are pricey.. $7 for a shot of vodka, $8 for a long island iced tea, but the drinks are very strong, honestly, so you wouldn't need many! The dance floor was crowded and sweaty. Everyone was looking to take someone home and hooking up on the dance floor.. I've never been to a club with such horny people! Men dance on poles half-naked.

The music is okay. Kelly Clarkson, Destiny's Child, Soulja Boy, and the like.

• Pros: Cheap cover.
• Cons: Expensive drinks, you'll probably have some stranger try to do you on the dance floor, music.

Everyone goes to Woody's...but there are other options

by egillcvi

The place is an institution. But as often happens with institutions, Woody's is experiencing some growing pains. Things have gotten awkward since Woody sold the joint to the owners of Pure. If you haven't gone yet, be warned: Woody's is a very "stand-and-model" sort of event. People aren't there to *see* so much as to *be seen.* It's can get exhausting.

The bartenders are out-of-this-world friendly and most of the rest of the staff is as well. There are a couple over-zealous bouncers with serious chips on their shoulders and that's a shame because they're ruining the staff's image. For the most part though, the employees are very nice.

Woody's is many things to many people but it's certainly not the be-all, end-all of the Philly gay scene. There are lots of places to check out and spending an entire night at Woody's is not a good investment of one's time.

• Pros: Lots of different "types" make up the clientele, the staff is mostly great.
• Cons: A couple rude bouncers, the place can get waaaaaaaaaay too crowded, sometimes the AC system isn't sufficient.

Best Thursday night

by simplygravy

Best cover charge, drink, dance value in the area. The crowd is nice and personable and ranges from jeans and a shirt to Philly fly - very relaxed atmosphere without being trashy. The Latin & hip hop music ranges from things you've heard before to some things you haven't, the drinks are well-mixed and mostly served with cheerfulness. Mostly men but still quite a few women come on this night. Great place to dance, come alone or with friends, be safe and not spend all your money before the weekend even starts.

• Pros: Great music, drinks, dance floor, crowd and service
• Cons: It closes at 2

Dancing queens and pandering politicos mix at this gay bar.

by Contributor

In Short
During the weekend, it's mostly young urban types clad in disco shirts. The females are few, except for the occasional woman out on the town with a gay friend. For more gender, preference and age diversity, try a weekday night. If the clientele doesn't hold your attention, monitors throughout the bar play videos and campy vignettes from popular TV shows and movies. The upstairs bar also has several PCs with AOL access.

More fun that I imagined

by weeziblu

My friends and I ducked into Woody's after meeting disappointing crowds at other venues around the city. As four married, straight women, we were looking for a fun place to dance to great music and have a few drinks. We found a GREAT time at Woody's. We made friends 5 min. in the door and had a blast! The drinks were great, the music was the best we'd heard all night and our bartender was awesome. We were probably the only women in the place but we had a great time! I'd love to go back.

• Pros: music, great drinks, fun, friendly crowd

An old favorite

by drexel0778

Woody's is one of my more favorite bars in the city. It is a nice mix of people. Most people there on weekends are the 25-35 crowd. The weeknight crowd tends to be older, except Wednesday.

The service is good. The prices are ok; it is cheaper to drink at 12th Air.

Woody's is not to be overlooked.
