Woody's Bar in Galveston
Description
Great spot fantastic views
Popular bar with pleasant staff. Mix of local and tourists.
Dive bar on the beach. No food sold here.1 pool table. Great ocean view on back patio.
MoreStumbled across this place and are so happy we did! Laid back fun, would go back again for sure! Only downfall is that theres no food!
MoreWoody’s looks closed to me. What’s up? Was looking forward to going there.
Great view and the bartender was very attentive!!!
Sweet place. Good bartender. Great view. Been awhile since Ive been here, still as good as I remember it. If youre lucky, youll get the table at the end of the deck
MoreCouple of easy on the eyes bartenders and the prices arent too bad. Environmentally is a cool spot. Wish they cleaned up around the water so you could chill out back in the lagoon. That would make it a 5 star review....
MoreGot there for last call and it didnt disappoint. Nice casual atmosphere and belies served in a solo cup.Ill be back!
MoreI think it’s important to say that Woodys is a bar only. No food. I am not a drinker, But I could sit at this bar and sip a glass of water all day long. They have music and cold drinks. Very down to earth. It’s the best place to grab a drink and enjoy the waves and warm breeze. There is a lovely Overlook to enjoy watching some fish, crabs, and birds in nature.We came here multiple times during our stay on the Island and I will return here anytime I come back to Galveston.
MoreBeautiful place on the beach beautiful view nice breeze prices are decent
We actually checked with the website and it said it was open and it was not. Came from Kansas to go there!
MoreThis is a pretty nice place to hang out after soaking up in the beach and sun.The bartenders are very attentive and they have a nice selection of drinks.The sitting area on the back is pretty nice to spend some quality time
MoreJust to make it clear there is no dining it is a bar. Its quirky, relaxed down to earth local bar. It has amazing views, it is an oasis after a long walk on the beach from our hotel. We have visited everyday of this vacation and the same when we vacationed in Galveston last year. After a couple of visits my wine was already being poured as I walked through the door, that is what I call service.When I first saw it I was not sure about going in for a drink, dont judge a book by its cover. I loved watching the wildlife at the waters edge, the rolling waves and singing a cold one. ENJOY.
MoreThe bar itself is okay. If you arent from here dont go there because the service is garbage. And I wouldnt recommend this place at all. Its trash along with all of its customers.
MoreCute little place fir drinks. No food. Friendly bartender.
Casual, laid back spot. Bartender was friendly and attentive. Fine views of the beach.
MoreEvery time were in Galveston we make sure to visit! As always, we were welcomed like old by the bar staff! Even though we met them for the first time that day! Thanks Claire! 👍
MoreGreat place we enjoyed drinks and wildlife in Galveston
McKenna the bartender was great! Great little dive bar to just hang out. They dont serve food but you can bring in your own.
MoreWoodys has always been my go to place for a sodie or two. They are always friendly and away from all the traffic.
MoreVery cool place! AMI Music, Astros game on, very nice attentive bartenders, great place!
MoreDecent bar. Great service. Fun pool.
Nice relaxing environment. The Only thing is Id highly recommend wear bug spray, Id recommend deep woods off with strong deet content otherwise you get munched on all night.
MoreLocation, location, location. Add iced down beverages and you are set to relax. The outdoor area has a pergola, so you stay cool in the Gulf breeze. Plenty of seating.
MoreGreat bar for live music and my husband loved the bloody Marys he ordered. Just wish the had food.
MoreWoodys Beach Dive bar. Simplicity wins here. Its a must stop in for a beach beer. Would be fun to catch a live band on the big deck. Will definitely revisit.
MoreI have not been to Woodys in at least a year (thanks to covid-19and we dont live in town, but when we walked in the bartender recognized us immediately.There is a great view of the Gulf, plenty of beverages, pool table if you are so inclined, and we loved the band.Cant wait to go back!
MoreExtremely clean. Great staff. Wonderful bar to visit when out of town. Had a great experience and really enjoyed to history and atmosphere.
MoreMy husband and I always stop in here with friends when we are out on the motorcycles. It’s a fun stretch of ocean highway just outside Seawall along our route a must stop in place for a nice Gulf view with usually live music. Great staff fun local vibe!
MoreLovely breeze off the bay. Nice beer selection. Always enjoy the music.
Nice bar on the water. Drinks and service was good.
Showed up on a Sunday after being told that they have live music every Sunday... Only to get there and realize it was cancelled without warning. Its got a biker bar vibe but everyone was really friendly-- as a young lady I never worried about my safety at all. Its nice and open, gets a great breeze, and has a view of the beach. Just a heads up though, you can smoke everywhere, so if you dont like the smell of cigarettes then you may not enjoy this place. But since its outside, its not too bad, especially if theres a good breeze.
MoreCouldnt have been happier in my visit there yesterday nice breeze off the ocean wonderful deck to stand on and party on I hear they have bands there on the weekends excellent place parking underneath for the bikes in the shade among the pillars and a very long ramp all the way up to the bar nice old bar and a cigarette machine which I have not seen since I cant remember when all around a very nice place to stay a while and enjoy the people and scenery if this review helps in any way please give me a thumbs up I would appreciate that God bless you and have a wonderful day😎
MoreGood prices on drinks but pay cash as you go. We had a total of 5 drinks on our tab when done , bartender tried to overcharge us by 5 drinks since the one paying was the drunk guy and still didnt apply the slot machine credit to it when she corrected it. If we werent there to correct it that would have been an extra $40 over and above our drinks and 20% tip. There were 9 people in the entire place so no way she could have been confused. Sad because I love coming here when in town but that attempted rip off ruined it for us going forward, and it was done after we tipped $18 on 6 drinks previous to the final bill.
MoreGreat place in Galveston to grab a beer and enjoy the view. Love the koozie’s that come with each beer!!
MoreBest place in Galveston for a beer and a view. They dont have a kitchen but the staff was very accommodating in regards to recommending delivery restaurants. Great people, great vibe, great view.
MoreThis is a very relaxing place overlooking the water. Its not overcrowded and a great place to unwind.
MoreGreat place to chill and shoot some pool. Bar tenders ate friendly and very attentive. Sound system is good. When you can catch live music, its a must. Great ocean view. I will definitely be returning.
MoreWoodys, a bike trip worth! Super unique and amazing venue off the shore, a little bit away from the touristy area of Galveston. We LOVE it!!!!!!
MoreCool bar right by the water with lots of shaded bike parking. Decently priced beers for the location, youre not paying nightclub prices. Small inside area by the bar but the overly spacious deck is what Woodys is all about. Live daytime music during the warmer months with spectacular views of the waves and sunset. Relax, unwind, and put yourself in a flip-flop state of mind. (just remember theres no food served here)
MoreWe had a good time. The view is very good and the wait staff is friendly it is on stilts and about 25 feet high. They don’t serve food but they have really good drinks. There was a live band while we were there. And it was good and we will go back.
MoreJust a memory from a great vacation in Galveston.. off the beaten path but truly a local establishment that is a must do to complete your visit to an amazing island. I’ll never forget it.
MoreGreat beach front place to enjoy live entertainment and the coldest beer in town. Bartenders are fun and friendly and the entire staff including the owner are easy on the eyes! Great place to hang out!
MoreEasily my favorite bar in Galveston. The jukebox is not just excellent, its important.
MoreReally cool bar with great local beer on tap. If its raining there is limited seating as the entire patio has the potential to become soaked. Also, the libe music stage has one of the most amazing back drops, wishing I could extend my stay just for that!
MoreDown to earth quieter place than the other side of the island. Pool tables and rock music.
MoreMy husband and i went here for a few drinks after hanging at the beach. Staff was friendly, clean. Band was ok, would of been better if they had food, may have stayed longer and bought more beer. Maybe look into a smoker or food truck, since no kitchen.
MoreBob and Liz from California loved it, my middle name is Arnold, so the daytime waitress gave me a free cuzzy from St. Arnolds Brewery. The crowd gets into the music, the music is always different and not main stream. We bought T-shirts and came back 3 more time. Nice bikers, nice people, nice place. Been to Sturgis and enjoyed this bar as much.
MoreThis was a great open air bar with beach views and a good local beer selection. If you are there at the right time, sunset views are beautiful as well. I enjoyed the relaxed vibe and will go back next time Im in Galveston.
