I really love Woody’s, but wow has the service absolutely sucked this summer.Great location with good food options, but it’s hard to appreciate any of that when you can’t get an employees attention for service. About 3 times this summer, I’ve gone in with another person and been completely ignored while employees restock supplies, talk to each other, look at their phones, etc.Went in for drinks and snacks one night and the bartender didn’t know when the kitchen closed.Last time we went, we walked in and sat at the bar. There were four other customers at the bar and the bartender never acknowledged us. She was organizing napkin holders beside the bar and didn’t look in our direction.Only when we got up to leave did another employee ask us what we wanted. Nothing anymore!I will give it another chance next summer and HOPE service improves.

Small bar sandwiched between two steel sides warehouses. Only has a shed/outbuilding for a kitchen. Has no bathrooms, just porta-potties that are right next to dining tables ?. I don't know how a city business can legally be open with no bathrooms or even warm water to wash your hands! Main steel support beam under cement is BROKEN!

Woody's is a nice restaurant at the Erie Bayfront. You can see the lake & yhe Bicentennial Tower while enjoying your drink and/or meal. I had the chicken tenders basket & fried zucchini, pickles & cheese balls appetizer. Everything was very good! They have a Hawaiin beer that I really enjoyed! My server was wonderful too! I will definitely visit again!

The burgers, wraps, and sandwiches aren't that good and most definitely not worth $15. I had a drink and it barely gave me a buzz for $8

This place is so cool. I wish we had one somewhere near where I live. What a great concept. You'd swear it was in Key West, if it were warmer.

food is basic bar food but it’s hot and normally quick especially coming from the small shack in the parking lot!!! service is fast. no draft beer. and, if busy, the cans of beer can be warmer than they should be. still - great time, super fun.

Excellent bartender. Loved mojito. Kitchen was backed up but meal came out sooner than predicted. Waitress gave us chips while we waited. Sitting near marina was entertaining as we watched boats coming and going.

Average pub food, but good for lunch. The atmosphere is nice; located by the bayfront . The drink specials are what lead us there at happy hour time.

Nice vibe and like the water view in the back. but sat at a table for 20 minutes and no wait staff approached us so we left. 2 other tables did the same. Might have enjoyed a mojito but I'll never know...

Lisa-Weed-was amazing!! She clearly loves her job and we appreciated the good service and energy after some of the other places we stopped before Woody’s! Great drinks, good service…I would recommend stopping here!
