When the Sun Goes Down

As night falls, Woody’s comes to life. Locals fill the space, the energy picks up, and the good times roll.
Live sport continues across five big screens, the foosball table heats up with friendly competition. The bartenders keep the banter flowing as fast as the drinks. Two roaring open fires keep the vibe going well into the night — inside and out.
