Ambience
The interior isn't especially distinctive, but you'll find every kind of guy at this place, which pulls in big crowds every night of the week. Woody's consists of a tavernesque main bar at street level, which then leads to a second bar and then beyond that a relaxing coffeehouse, where during warmer weather windows open onto the street. The upstairs, which comprises a cozy cocktail lounge (the most attractive space at Woody's) as well as a relatively small but festive dance bar, where you can catch anything from country-western line-dancing and two-stepping (early on Friday and Sunday evenings) to Latin tunes to the usual dance music. With so many rooms and the different theme nights, you can almost always find your niche at Woody's.
