Woody's, a spiritual successor of 3-Bs, was an immediate hit when it opened in November 1997. The building has been a tavern for over 125 years, serving as the popular Balkan Inn from 1942-1976. Woody's is Milwaukee's premier gay sportsbar, drawing maxium capacity crowds for Sunday Packers games with free shots, beer busts, and pizza. Despite several changes in ownership since 1997, Woody's has maintained a loyal and consistent customer base. After 25+ years in business, Woody's continues to be a southern anchor of the Walker's Point LGBTQ community.
