Woody’s is one of my all-time favorite LGBTQ+ establishments! From the friendly staff, to the value they place on finding great entertainment, and right down to the welcoming patio; Woody’s is my go-to place when it comes to catching up with old friends and making new ones! I’ve appreciated the measures they’ve taken to ensure a fun, safe, and affirming atmosphere throughout the past year.
Was visiting from Seattle last weekend and was particularly impressed with how fast the bartenders were pouring despite the huge crowd. Will definitely go back next time I’m in KC.
Men Men Men Men!!!! Me and my group of gay diesel mechanics hang out here with my old college roommate and its a great place to meet some fellas!!!!
Awesome place to hangout. If it’s nice outside, the patio can be a great place to be. Wide election of beverages. Great happy hour specials and awesome bartenders! Don’t forget to check out the back room for extra seating space!
What a cool little hidden gem! I came here to check out Broadway Cabaret with Amelia Bearhardt and I am so glad I did. Amelia recommended a "pineapple upside down martini" and it was one of the best drinks I've had in KC and I will definitely be back for another. I can't wait to return and hang out in the company of beautiful creatures, drink great cocktails, and relax with my favorite show tunes. Thank you, Woody's, for bringing Amelia Bearhardt and pineapple upside down martinis into my life -- I can't wait to come back!
Woody's is my GO TO bar in Kansas City. The staff is always kind. The drinks are always cold. There are always fun events! Such an inclusive space! Plus the iconic pride stairs are ALWAYS a perfect photo op. I'm also extremely happy they are taking a stand to protect their staff and patrons by requiring vaccination cards during the Covid-19 pandemic. Keep it up! I'm excited to continually support them in the future.
Logan is the best!!! Will be back. <3 Go Celtics!
Starting out, the experience was fine. Then my sister and I went to use the restroom. As we were walking towards the restroom, one of the staff members yelled in the rudest way “put your mask on” towards my sister and my she lifted her mask over her nose. I get wearing a mask as that really wasn’t an issue at all. My sister must have just not noticed that it was pulled down we were just coming in from the patio. Then we went to use the restroom and both of us went in. Now I didn’t notice the sign that prohibits this in regards we we’re told to leave. Now, I do take accountability for not following that rule but it was unintentional. When we were told to leave I went to the patio to grab my husband along with two of our friends. While making our way back to get them, the same staff member who yelled at my sister proceeded to follow me and hit me on the shoulder. I turned around and she began to yell at me to wear my mask even though my mask was on the entire time. I responded that my mask was on and that we were leaving, she continued to get verbally aggressive. After repeating myself that we were in fact leaving she snatched my drink out of my hand and smashed the glass bottle on the pavement. She then grabbed me and shoved me into the door frame leading in from the patio and threw me out. This entire altercation could have been prevented if she would have just accepted the fact that we were leaving respectfully. In this case, she had a bad attitude and mishandled the entire situation to say the least. My group and I were being respectful and tactful. We were indeed mistreated. As for myself, I was in no way intoxicated, refusing to abide or showing acts of violence to any of the staff or customers who were present. I, myself have worked in the bar industry as a server and the service I received was far from justified. I hope my review will help prepare you if you decide to visit Woody’s. This has got to be the worst experience I’ve had with a business and the staff was extremely unprofessional. I hope that the staff at woody’s will take accountability for their actions. If they really want their company to stay in business, I suggest they start with the attitude of their staff and start weaving bad employees out.
Amazing bar where I can feel comfort being myself and meet amazing people Perfect for LGBTQ+ people I adore it here!
Woody’s is one of the bars I frequent most in Kansas City. It is always a good time, and the staff is warm and welcoming. They host great events and parties on the weekends, and fun happy hours, game nights, and karaoke throughout the week. They have a great patio that is perfect for a Sunday Funday as well.
