Woody's Bar — Restaurant in Galveston

Just left that bar and it has to be one of the most awkward and worst experiences ever. It was me and two of my buddies and as soon as we get there my buddy wants to get a drink so me and the other guy go to the outside balcony and wait for him because we didn't want anything yet. So my buddy comes back and tells us that they won't serve him unless the bartender (an older blonde woman) saw ALL of our IDs. I thought it was a little strange but I didn't mind because it's their establishment so we went up there and showed all of our IDs. After that I could feel the tension in the place as if we weren't wanted there. She looked at my ID and it seemed like she didn't believe it was me so I showed her my DL and still she looks at it uneasy so then I pull out my military ID, and does not even take one single look at it and gives me my stuff back. She kept looking at us in a way that made me uncomfortable and I hate and wish to think that it was because me and one of my other buddies are Hispanic but I honestly do think that's what it was. I don't mean to disrespect but I feel that it should be addressed because we really were looking forward to having some drinks there but after my buddies first drink we left. On our way down the stairs the female bartender comes after us and asks for the glass that my buddy drank out of as if we stole it. That really almost pissed me off but I kept my composure and we told her politely that it was on the table after that she said thank you in a sarcastic way but was the nicest thing she said the whole time there. So for the people who read this, you can decide for yourself if that was fair treatment or not but we felt that it wasn't and I wouldn't waste my time to write this unless it really bothered me and my buddies.

I enjoy giving a good review, but just left this place. All the taps were inop. The only bottle beer they have are the corporate beers. You know Bud, Bud light, Miller, Miller light, Modelo and so on. I was hopeing for a local beer or and IPA. Sorry, none of those guys. No luck, so I passed. I asked for an Margarita for my Wife. She honest to god poured maybe 3/4 shot of REALLY cheep Tequila like liquor and what may have been half a shot at best of Tripple sec, filled the glass with Mr Ts mix and ice. Took a few sips put in on the counter and left. So if you like cheep bottled beer with a nice view. This is your place. P.S this place is called a bar. NO its not, its a palce to get a beer . They have bottles of liquor on the shelf, but if you cant make a simple margarita I'll pass. 2 stars are...

We discovered this little gem two years ago and it became our spot in Galveston. It's far enough away from the obnoxious tourist areas to be super relaxed. We told the bartender (who was excellent) we had driven 10 hours to watch the Superbowl at this bar, just like last year. When the game started the owner (always a good sign when the owner is drinking in the place) wouldn't give us sound on the game because I guess he wanted the background jukebox going while he drank. I should mention there were only 2 other people in the whole place besides the drunk owner and the very nice bartender. We've recommended the place to several friends heading down here. Never again, and we won't be back ourselves. It's really a shame. There's a help wanted sign up....
