Sticking to the Friday happy hour tradition, we decided to stop by woodys on our way home. It was a lovely afternoon and perfect for a patio drink. We ordered our drinks through the super friendly bartender and they were surprisingly cheap. We ordered three micro beers for around $10. You can't beat that!
The patio is amazing. It's huge with great views of the ocean. They have a stage so it's safe to assume they have live music. They have a jukebox, pool tables, and even a couple slot machines. They do not have food. There is actually a sign on the ramp up to the bar that states this. This is definitely a biker bar and everyone was friendly.
So, the reason for the crummy review is that they kind of told us to leave when we got out of our car. My wife saw the sign and thought...maybe we would stop and eat. Got out of our car with our 5 10 19 year old son and a bouncer up on the patio stopped us to say...21 and older. Now, this is 12 o'clock in the afternoon. I am 55 years old. I gotta wonder why I can't take my boy in for some lousy food. My wife happens to be TABC certified. There is nothing illegal about bringing an under-aged person in to eat. My only suggestion is to put the work BAR on the sign rather than allowing families to try to check out this obviously unworthy place.
So, I guess its a real review even though I can't speak for the food or drink.
This is definitely a biker bar. Â And I like it. Â I get the feeling that locals also come here. Â I also like that.
As previously stated, there is live music on the weekends... cover bands and such. Â The bar faces the water and there is a beach next to it where you can park on the beach for $8 if you want and stay all day.
Back to the bar - there is a raspberry lemonade or something like that which is delicious. Â i highly recommend it. Â If you served it to me at any other venue, I wouldn't believe it had alcohol in it... but believe you me... after two... I know it did!
Great little dive. Â Especially liked the ladies restroom with saloon style doors - just be careful not to show the goodies... no locks on those bad boys!
If you are in Galveston and are trying to avoid some of the overcrowded typical beach bars, it is worth your while to drive a little further down the road and stop into Woody's. Â It's all open air, but covered - meaning it's basically a long, widened, covered deck with a bar. Â This is not a bad thing either - you get a great view of the water and the beach. Â We my party came to this bar, there was a really solid classic rock band playing. Â It appears they are a regular on a Saturday from 3-7 (I think), plus it seems like live music is pretty common here most days of the week.
The bartenders were friendly and the beer selection was better than average - for you St. Arnold's lovers, they had a few selections on draft.
This is a pretty awesome place and definitely a better, less crowded part of the Island. Â I will be back.
We had a blast at Woody's! Went for some live entertainment Saturday afternoon. The music was hot & the beer was cold!  You can't be the location and atmosphere.  No food served here but you can bring something in  or run across the street and grab an awesome burger to go with your ice cold drinks! Can't wait to go back!

Hole in the Wall (beach)
Grungy.
Dirty
Sleazy.
And my God, do I love this place or what. Â Everything that is wrong with this little bar on the beach, is everything that could be right with this bar on the beach. Â Gorgeous little bartender was amazing at pouring the Blue Moon (wheat beer is tricky to get the perfect pour). Â A little small for a bar, but it works. Â Any excuse to smooth talk Sabrina is a good thing.
The back is an open deck that over looks the beach and The Gulfo de Mexico. Â Not the prettiest beach in the world, but hey...its all we got. Â The beer is cheap, smoking is allowed, and you HAVE to try the "Liquid Cocaine". Â Its one hell of a drug...er...drink. Â
Stay away from Jesus. Â I know that sounded VERY...well...wrong. Â Deal with it. Â This drunk guy states that he is the reincarnated form of Jesus and that he's here to lead us in the path of righteousness. Â I hope he was wrong. Â Because if it really was him, I'm in ALOT of trouble. Â I just don't believe Jesus smokes like a train. Â Nope, just can't see it.
The bar is sleazy and cheap. The jukebox plays Creed on non-stop rotations, which is just lovely. Â The pool table is a moderate size for a 10 year old...and for some God forsaken reason (No offense Jesus)...I really want to go back.
well, i have never been to woody's during prime beach season,
in fact i have only been in the middle of winter. Â
but as far as divey beachy bars go, woody's is pretty much tops.
i went there with my stepmom after a movie, and we both drank beer smoked cigarettes ( INSIDE! Â we can't do this where i'm from) Â and played pool, with some of the skeeziest texas has to offer. Â
all in all, my favorite place in galveston. Â
i bet that in the summer its filled with gross college kids (not my cup of tea) Â
but i'm telling you, Â for some midwinter beach drinking, Â woody's is as good as it gets.
ps they have an aweful jukebox. Â and i love it.
