The Little Woody

Little Woody is one of my favorite weeknight bars. (Yes, I'm the type of person that has several favorite weeknight bars)

As the name wood describe (pun) The Little Woody is both small and completely covered in wood - which gives it a unique, relaxing ambiance and a perfect setting for a few drinks, or more.

This place honestly has a seating area for about any mood.  The community-ish style tables in both the main bar as well as the game room can be a great way to meet new people from the neighborhood while the booths can provide enough seclusion for a quiet conversation or a date night.  That said, the pièce de résistance comes in the form of two Skeeball tables in the back of the game room.  I'll give you a minute to digest that.  Skeeball.

...

There's something delightfully nostalgic about playing skeeball at the Little Woody, and true to the PeterPiperPizzan sport that we all learned to love in our youth - these machines print out tickets if you achieve a high enough score. (The great part is that instead of exchanging tickets for worthless toys - at Woody they're redeemable for booze)

I truly believe that the Little Woody started (or at least popularized) a trend that will be replicated throughout the valley.  I'm a fan, and recommend you give it a shot.

This WAS a great little hideaway but has since become a place to see and be seen every night of the week. I still enjoy myself every time i go, and would have given 5 stars if not for the fact that you may find yourself shoulder to shoulder Mon-Sun after 8p.

Little Woody's is super cool.
Really, you feel like one of the cool kids here.  But not like football star lead cheerleader cool, no  no, little Woody's is too cool for that traditional type of cool.
No, first you feel speak easy cool.  Old school gangster cool.  Because there is no sign announcing the name of the place you feel in the know when you spot the big eyed owl gazing over the street and realize this is the place.  It's too cool for a name.  You enter through the back, which is the front, because the front has no entrance.  Cool, right?
Then its dark.  not seedy dark, but masculine and sultry dark.  Again, really cool.
Once you get your drinks you head over to the game room and a new kind of cool hits: nerd cool, gamer cool, arcade kid cool.
Shuffle board, skee ball (!), darts  and foosball are always exciting, and winning free beer with your insane skee ball skills is the coolest!
Didn't eat this time, but the chalk boards advertised some tasty looking options.  And their cocktails, while maybe a bit pricey, were super intriguing.  I stuck with beer on this occasion and it was frosty and quick.  Good night.
