Dallas Woody's

Bartenders openly make fun of patrons… kinda shocking for my first time there. I get sass but I doubt those folks will ever come back. I can’t imagine coming here often with this shit. The Caven bars and Roundup are more than enough to not deal with mean girl stuff…

Compared to other gay bars on the strip, this one does not have much diversity (coming from a POC). It is very common for you to be the only black or brown man in here. If that doesnt bother you make sure to stop by; the music taste is calmer and not too loud.

So very disappointed, Woody’s. You call y yourself a sports bar, and the description of your bar says a “mix of sports”. No, you don’t. I came to your bar today, Jan 4, 2026, the last day of the regular NFL season. Playoff implications and division titles are on the line. I walk into your bar, see at least 5 or 6 TVs and all are showing the NY/DAL game. To top it off, there were only about 5 people in the bar. After standing at the bar a couple minutes waiting for a bartender to ask what I wanted, I finally flagged down on and asked if they only show the same game on all the TVs. His reply, “Yeah. For the Cowboys.” No offer to switch a TV. No question about whether or not wanted a drink. 1. Today’s Cowboys’ game is between two teams already eliminated from playoffs. 2. Not everyone in the metroplex is a Cowboys fan. 3. You call yourself a “sports bar” and advertise a “mix of sports”. Where was today’s mix? 4. What kind of bar, especially a sports bar, lets someone stand at the bar and the bartender not even ask about drinks? Disappointed in my poor experience at Woody’s, I went to Hidden Door. Walking throughout the bar, I noticed all their TVs were also showing the Cowboys game. BUT, here’s the difference. First, the one bartender who wasn’t busy saw me walk up to the bar and was ready to take my order. I was greeted with a welcoming smile as if to say we’re glad you’re here. I asked the bartender if they only show the same game on all the TVs. Speaking honestly he said, “What other games are there. I really don’t know.” I told him I was interested in watching the Texans game. Without hesitation, he told another bartender of my request. That bartender simply switched the channel on the outside TV to show the Texans game. There are 5x as many patrons at Hidden Door on the patio where the outside TV is than at Woody’s at the writing of this review. Not a single person protested when the game switched to the Texans. Woody’s take note. Hidden Door acts more like a sports bar than your bar which ADVERTISES being a sports bar.

Fun bar with sports on the TV and a casual but high energy vibe. They have a small patio out front, an upstairs deck and a large deck out back. The bartenders really make this place great. Their friendly, quick with drinks and just overall created a fun atmosphere. Prices are also good here.

Stu is my bartender and he has been serving me cocktails since I moved to Dallas. I love the patio.
