Woody's KC

New to the area, but Woody's has already become a favorite! The drinks are good, the atmosphere is fun and there are themed events all throughout the week. Great bar

The drinks are poured heavy and the men are abundant! Check their instagram to see what events are going on, recommend personally bear or leather night! This is woodys the gay bar in Kansas City- not woodys the sports bar. Don't confuse the two very different places and a lot of reviews here should be for the sports bar.

As a recent KC transplant, I've found family at this bar! The theme nights, drag races viewings, and atmosphere are absolutely great! I know I'm going to coming here for a while to come!

This bar is laughable. Walk in the front door and you'll get it. The staff has an overly inflated sense of their view on hospitality & an over estimated opinion of their individual importance. You're there to serve drinks. Put down Grindr app Mr. bartender & pour some drinks to the people staring at you in the face. You know who you are

It was the strangest mix of people and I was, by far, the oldest person in the place. It's definitely a spot for younger folks.

This is not a sports bar, it's very very loud, people who are gym rats and stuck on themselves as well as arrogant go to this bar. No one talks or offers new patrons a seat or acknowledges new people! Not recommended!! Unless you look and are the same frame of mind orpersonality !

I was really excited when I heard about Woody's. It seemed like the perfect hangout spot for me. I have visited multiple times and really tried to find positives to make me live Woody's, but it just isn't happening. The service is horrible. The manager and employees are more focused on their friends and not the customers. If you want anything resembling service, sit at the bar. There are seven stools and two people behind the bar. If you sit at a table, don't expect one of the people behind the bar to come out and help you. You will have to go up to the bar to order food and drinks. And when you do go up, good luck. You will wait for the employees to finish conversations with their friends before they will help you. I hope they have enough friends coming in and spending, otherwise they won't last a year. The food is OK. I have tried a few different things. Nothing stands out as great, just OK bar food. The kitchen staff I have interacted with are the stars of the establishment. Super friendly and a stark contrast to the front of the house staff. Seems they should be positioned opposite. They have a nice outdoor area. Old school Nintendo games. Dart boards upstairs. When they have events they can get her to know your neighbor intimately packed. The overhead music rotation is good, maybe the best thing they have going for them.I have also witnessed the core crowd/friends of employees making fun of other patrons. This absolutely turns me off to the establishment. Considering it is a bar, you would expect to encounter adults, not adolescent bully behaviors. This is a new place and they have time to recover. A major staffing over haul and expectation of customer service will be required for that to happen.

I hadn't been in this space for several years and it was definitely different. It was cleaner with better lighting than the News Room ever had, but seemed very sterile. The sports bar theme seems a little pushed, it looks like someone took a few hundred dollars and went to Hobby Lobby and bought anything mass produced that had a sports reference. Completely lacking originality or an organic legitimate feel. Then as posted here before, if you are not part of the clique' then don't expect to be treated warmly. Never been to any place where the regulars and bartenders whisper and laugh at first time customers. Sorry I intruded on your private party, it won't happen again. With options such as Hamburger Mary's, Arts Bar, Mini Bar and Chez Charlie's within a block you should try a little harder.

While the drag shows and bingo nights at Hamburger Mary's are always fun, sometimes you just want to go to a sports bar. Sit down with a beer and enjoy a good meal while you watch a game on TV. Or playing a game of darts or pool after work. If that's what you're looking for, Woody's is your place.Woody's is like any other neighborhood sports bar. You have a friendly face behind the bar, dispensing drinks and lending an ear while you talk about how your fantasy football QB is on the disabled list this week. Although that bartender may, occasionally, be missing clothes. But that's to be expected at your neighborhood sports bar. As you would expect, the walls are covered with sports memorabilia. Boxing gloves, baseball bats, pictures of shirtless athletes, jock straps, german translation posters of Burt Reynolds football movies. The usual fare.And, of course, the menu. Normal bar fare like the Rowdy Roddy Piper Pork Tenderloin, "The Fridge" Perry's Pulled Pork Hoagie. Wings, hot dogs, nachos and... is that a cordon bleu sandwich? Homemade chips? Wait a minute.This place isn't like a normal neighborhood sports bar after all. This is something different. A more unique take on the well-trod sports bar theme. Instead of $0.50 Coors Light night, they offer Bear Bust Trivia Tuesdays, toga night, girl parties, and Porcelain's really Gay Karaoke and Lip Sync.Woody's is not your normal, chain, sports bar. It's much better. It's like if you went to Applebee's expecting to split a generic onion blossom with Bob from accounting. But instead of soggy onion strips you get delicious, hand-made, food with clever, suggestive names. Instead of a regional assistant general manager, you have owners who have embraced a community and want to be part of the city's culture. And Bob is still there, but he's up singing Bel Biv Devoe wearing a wig and glow bracelets. This place is for everyone.

Where do I begin? Staff was on their phone while people needed drinks at the bar. They were overly aggressive with their customers for the smallest things. They don't respect people when they are confronted. The operation of this business is extremely flawed. I was there last night along with one of my friends and I witnessed an altercation of one of the staff who rudely interrupted a customer who was on her way out. She had her mask on but the employee started yelling at her saying that she didn't. When the lady told the staff that she had her mask on and was in the process of leaving, the employee ripped a beer out of her hand in smashed it then grabbed her in a very hostile manner and continued to shove her out the door. From my perspective the girl was just trying to leave and she didn't Seem upset until the staff member grabbed her drink. I don't think this bar is as welcoming as they claim to be. I am so disappointed on how that lady was treated and I've decided I will not return.
