Woody's

Woody’s is a queer bar and nightlife venue at 202 S 13th St in Philadelphia, close to Walnut Street. The venue serves as a social setting for LGBTQIA+ community members and allies, with an emphasis on fairness, diversity and an inclusive customer experience.

The drinks offering includes cocktails and beer, alongside a food menu. Woody’s Garden is associated with a Wednesday-to-Sunday happy hour, while the wider venue schedule focuses on evening nightlife. Food and drink are part of the experience, but the venue’s primary identity is as a bar and entertainment destination rather than a restaurant.

Programming changes by night. Regular offerings include karaoke, themed music events and genre-focused nights, with schedules that have included R&B programming, football gatherings and weekend parties. The venue also hosts or supports community-centered block parties connected with Pride, Out, and Black Pride celebrations. Special events can affect the usual schedule and operating arrangements.

Woody’s suits visitors looking for queer nightlife, music-led evenings and a social bar atmosphere in the 13th Street area. It can work for casual drinks, an evening out with friends or participation in a themed event. The venue’s programming and hours are best checked before visiting, particularly around holidays, block parties, bar crawls and other special occasions. Valid photo identification is required for entry, with accepted forms including government-issued driver’s licenses or identification cards, military identification and passports.
