The Woody

If you want to get groped and watch oodles of sad, middle-aged people drunkenly slobber on each other and generally make asses of themselves, this is the place to be!  

If you want to listen to a crappy, over-the-hill DJ make lewd comments about women while they dance, you'll love it here!  

If you like to get depressed while you watch old folks display their aging dangly parts on the dance floor, this is your scene!

I was brought to this place without any idea of what to expect and it was throughly fun AND entertaining! The crowd is as diverse as it gets and you really can just go there, shake your ass, have a blast with friends, and enjoy some $1 jell-o shots (delicious, by the way).

This place never ceases to amaze. In a good way.

We first discovered this gem while wandering from bar to bar in the vista. When we walked in, we were confused.

If you love the dive bar-iness of Uncle Louie's (I sure do!) but want to combine that with a mixture of nursing home residents and amateur / pro dance teams (I can only believe), this is your place.

If you want a bar inside of an art school (?) that offers an initially confusing path to the bathroom, you my friend, have found it.

If you love people watching, especially when those people 'get weird with it' in a bar decorated along the lines of 'strip club'...well, look no further.

In one night we saw three AMAZING dance offs. I'm talking Michael Jackson choreographed style work. As far as dancing, this place reminds me of a wedding reception. The DJ, an old Columbia radio jockey, is pretty hilarious and plays current music, oldies, and wedding favorites. They also host Salsa Classes on Wednesday nights, not sure if there is a fee.

Drinks are relatively cheap, and service is fast and friendly. I would give this place a try when you are looking for something unusual. Who knows, you might become a converted regular...
