Woody's / Sailor

Good drinks, good vibes, and great drag queens. Woodys and Sailor is a Church Street must-see. The drinks were well made and to be honest, I have no idea if they have food or not, but there's a few food places nearby if you are hungry. The drag queens performed spectacularly and I will highly recommend for a Friday or Saturday night out.

Woody’s & SAILOR is such an iconic spot in the Village! The place is huge, with multiple bars inside and a great stage for drag shows – the atmosphere is always lively and fun. It’s definitely one of the best venues if you’re looking for entertainment and a vibrant crowd. The only thing to keep in mind is that drinks are on the pricey side – a Corona was $10 and a single shot was $9 – but the overall experience, energy, and shows make it worth it. A must-visit when in Toronto’s Gay Village! 🌈✨🍹

Woody’s and Sailor is a very interesting bar in Toronto, with a unique history behind it. It’s iconic partly because Queer as Folk was filmed there, and the place has been around since 1989. From the outside, Woody’s and the adjacent Sailor look like two separate bars, but inside they’re connected, creating one big, lively space. The North American version of Queer as Folk used it as the main queer hangout, and even filmed street scenes right outside. Early seasons shot interiors on-site, and later a soundstage was built to recreate it. Woody’s has even appeared in comedy skits and inspired parodies in film.” “We went for a jockstrap event and had a great time. The atmosphere was fun, the drinks were reasonably priced, and there’s a safe area to leave your coats, which is a big plus in Toronto winters. Everything was clean, full of screens, and overall very well run. Definitely a memorable experience

Great place to start up your night. Been there twice while in Toronto. Music was great, drag shows too. Crowd of mixed people, handsome guys around. Wonderful atmosphere but room was too bright, too much light.

I was confronted by staff for no clear reason, and the interaction felt hostile and unfair. It completely changed the atmosphere of what was supposed to be a fun night. Based on this experience, I wouldn’t return ever!
