This has got to be the worst bar I've ever been at !!! Absolutely terrible energy and vibes! Stuck up men... Snooty ! Not friendly. Very judgemental energy. Never coming again

I was visiting out of town for milwaukees pride and there was this man named Jessy who would not leave me and my friend alone. My friend had a disagreement on a topic and he wouldnt leave my girlfriend alone full blown kept harassing her to get his point across. Otherwise we had a great time this man however would not leave her alone and the bartender just kept looking at us like they know hes a continueal problem.

Always a great time. Beer bust all weekend at open. 2 for 1 Thursdays. Sheepshead on Thursday. Trivia on Tuesday. Packer games are the best with shots for scores and food at halftime. Then of course the bar dice!

So, my husband and I planned a trip to Milwaukee about two months ago. It just so happened the bears were scheduled to play green Bay on that same day! So we go to Woody's to see some of the game. We planned to leave after the first half but we were having a great time we decided to stay for the entire game. We weren't being obnoxious because we are from Chicago, we kept quiet and cheered when GB did great plays. But the guys we were chatting with all night figured us out but didn't hold it against us. Even though it didn't turn out how the bar wanted, they were great sports. The service was great here too, even when the bar line was very long, it moved quickly! Will go back! Yeah, the one guy in the bears sweatshirt, very brave!
