Editorial Review for Woody's @ City Market – by Jennifer Bringle
The Scene
Nestled in a strip of businesses along City Market's cobblestone streets, Woody's almost seems out of place. The neon beer signs, multiple televisions and rowdy patrons of this sports bar may be something a little more akin to the Hillsborough Street scene, but the live music and subdued back dining room (perfect for a date) make it fit right in with its downtown neighbors. One drawback: The service is at times too laid-back.
The Food
The famously hot wings are worth the trip alone. In temperatures that range from plain to insane, there's something for every palate. Wash them down with one of the many varieties of beer on tap.

Insider Tips
Where to SitIf you're looking to make conversation, the back dining area is probably your best bet. The front room and bar area can get loud with games and live music.
When to GoNFL fans need look no further--Woody's shows every Sunday game. You can also go retro on Wednesdays with a DJ spinning '80s tunes.

My friends and I went to Woody's @ City Market on New Years Day to work off a hangover and watch the Bowl games. Our intention was to grab a few drinks, eat some luinch, check out the early games and move on. Well a couple of hours turned into many hours, pints ran into pitchers, lunch was followed by dinner and the evening bowl game was entering the 4th quarter. Can not tell ya the last time we had so much fun. The staff was great, the plasmas are great for sports and the food was really good for bar food. By the way the Wings are the bomb! Going back for the Superbowl!!
Pros: Beer selection, TV's, Specials, Wings
Cons: no golden tee, no foosball

While visiting city market my party and I were intrigued by Woody's and thought it would be a great place to grab some lunch in such a quaint and interesting area. The menu choices were appealing and we all had trouble deciding what to choose to eat. After we ordered, it took 40 minutes for the rest in my party to get their food. Mine arrived at least 10 minutes afterwards and our waitress had forgotten that she didn't bring me my food until I reminded her. She seemed very unaware of what was going on at her tables but I did see her spending plenty of time counting out money (i'm assuming figuring out her tips). My cheeseburger had very dry meat and the bun was extremely dry as well. The fries with cheese were good however. The buffalo sub consisted of mostly breading with tiny pieces of chicken and gave my boyfriend an upset stomach. My cousin ordered the chicken strips which looked good and he said they weren't bad but tasted like the frozen kind he makes at home. We do plan on returning to City Market but never to Woody's.
Pros: location, atmosphere
Cons: service, food, prices
