Come for the vibes and drinks stay for the turtle races. Had some friends in town we stopped in for a fun weeknight outing. I didn't place any bets but my friend was a barrel babe. I did catch a free shot card and enjoyed some soccer and drinks. Great way to spend a Thursday night in the city. Beware it is street parking pay the meter or they have a lot across the street $10 parking. Only pizza served and a nearby hotdogs place and a guy selling tamales. read more

Little Woodrow's was giving relaxed Tuesday energy -- the quiet kind of chill that makes you want to stay longer than you planned. We didn't order food, but the plates we saw coming out looked good and the service seemed quick, so that's on the list for next time. The outdoor area is the real scene-stealer: - Hammock-style swings - A gigantic playground-style slide - Cornhole boards - An outdoor bar - A massive TV - Bright, colorful chairs scattered around It felt like grown-folks recess -- playful but still very much outside and social. Perfect for pictures, too. read more

I LOVED IT HERE! Much bigger then any little woodrows I've been before. The vibe was amazing, the music was also, and they have Texas tea on tap which is really cool since I'm not a beer drinker. It was my first time ever seeing turtle racing and the turn up was so real! It's free to bet on the turtles and if you win you get a free shot of the promotional liquor for that night. The night I went it was Hornito's tequila. There is also a guy who walks around with the big ball python around his neck. It was definitely a great time and I will definitely be going back! read more

I've been to a couple Little Woodrow's locations, and while this one doesn't have a bowling alley, there's definitely plenty of seating to watch sports and the fun turtle races. Went here for the Red River Shootout game. It's definitely your premier bar to watch the UT games. Longhorn fans fill every inch of the bar. I love the various seating like a bar hall, swings, covered patio, lawn chairs, and high and low tables. There's also covered tarps to block the sun and fan misters for a hot day. It was so packed that we found some stacked chairs near the food truck and just set up nearby a TV screen to watch. I love that they play all the UT songs. The place has surround sound that makes it feel like you're at the game cheering. There's a large selection of beer and cocktails. I tried the October special which was a peach and ginger whiskey sour. I like the candied ginger and cherry garnish. Couldn't taste much of the peach, but it was still good. A lot of people ordered from the Cuban food truck parked inside the bar. We ate before, so we didn't try anything. The food looked good though. Maybe next time! Parking on game days can be difficult, but there's a lot for $10 right across and some metered street parking for $1/hr. We got lucky and found street parking right across. read more

This is a great little Woodrow's location. Good vibes. Turtle racing on Thursday is always so fun. Drinks are average price. A beer is ~$6. Staff is nice, especially for how busy it gets sometimes. I'd recommend. Always have a good time here read more

Great bar with chill and upbeat vibes, with great music and tvs all around. If there's a big game, they will show it on the big screen.Had a few cocktails and shots which were all good and decently priced considering it's a sports bar. Plenty of seating at tables, high chairs, and swings. They also have games like connect 4, jenga, and cornhole. They have different events some days which are outlines on their site and social media. Absolutely loved coming to the turtle races on Thursdays. All the bartenders were great! Ana had some great recommendations and amazing personality!! Definitely will be returning. read more

We came outside with our kids. Right by the slide and let the kids play corn hole. The smell from the dumpsters are HORRIBLE. The vibes could be so wonderful if the smell wasn't so overtaking. Even my kids were asking what the smell was. Maybe it was just a really bad day but please keep this in consideration. read more

Charges you their merchant (credit card) fees and on TOP of that, an additional random $1 as a separate transaction. Happened twice to me on two different occasions. On the first, thought it was a fluke and gave them the benefit of the doubt. The second time, exact same thing, random second transaction of $1 appeared. May not sound like a lot but if they did that for everyone, that's a lot of legally-suspect activity. Filed a fraud claim. Won't be coming here anymore. read more

No food but service is good and they have decent parking and food vendors. 10/10 for vibes and cleanliness's. Music is not too loud.

First off if you're 18 or below ya can't come here especially on New Year's Eve . This place blasts music so loud that ya can't even hear yourself talk or the staff that's drunk AF talk either . Plus there's a " smoke free zone " . People smoke in the bar itself . Also it's a bar with food on the side not a " restaurant ". Overall it's definitely a dirty vibe and a deafness vibe of a bar . read more

So! We went to drink before the Chris brown concert. Probably the best Gatorade shot I've ever had. (Btw I hate that shot) so in my book the drinks were cute. I'll go back soon to try the food. read more

Two buckets of Truly cost me $99. I'm not even making this up. I love the atmosphere and everybody is friendly, but I can't justify spending over $100 for two buckets. I even talked to the manager who explained the price was correct. That's $9 a can. No thank you. read more

Really fun spot! Nice bar to watch a game right in the middle of midtown or a fun place to watch the turtle races!!

Whether I want to watch a game, cheer on James Franco during the turtle races, or just drink with friends, I always have a good time at Little Woodrow's. read more

One of the best kept secrets of the Midtown Bars! Woodrows is amazing. They offer a very social, relaxing, and entertaining vibe. There are games such as corn hole and connect four for entertainment (I'm sure there are plenty more that I physically didn't see). They have outdoor seating next to fire pits, outdoor booths, bench styled tables (indoors), and just a variety of different scenes all within the establishment. Definitely a great venue to catch-up/ hangout with friends, go on a date, or just have a good solo time! read more

Great bar and atmosphere. The blood orange paloma is really good. Definitely recommend. read more

This location is much bigger on the inside than it looks on the outside! So many places to sit and hangout. Lots of fun games to play while you drink, like Jenga and connect 4 (life size of course). We went day drinking so didn't get to try the food. I had a few bloody Marys which were pretty good! Not the best but not the worst. I also had an espresso martini and they have it on tap, which was weird to me... but it ended up tasting pretty good! The best part about this location was the bartenders. All the girls were very sweet and attentive. Very little wait for service. read more

Came for a first date! Drinks were good. Tried the cocktail of the month which I think they should just keep on the menu. Nice atmosphere. Definitely wish we could've seen some turtle races but I'll definitely be back ! read more

Good drinks shrooms and release of what's in my chest had a good time wish my pst was there

Little Woodrow's is by far the best local spot for an after work drink or to watch the game. They are dog friendly and offer tons of space to accommodate big groups. If you are looking to start your weekend early they have turtle racing on Thursdays! It's exactly what it sounds like; you bet (for free) on a turtle each round and the turtle (I recommend #8 or #9) wins the race you get a free shot! The bartenders are friendly but it can busy so give them grace and treat them well. read more

Little Woodrow's Midtown - Dog friendly bar - Sports Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

Turtles... sports... food trucks galore. What more could I want in a bar?! I've been here a few times now and I can honestly say I've never had any issues! Parking has been $10 to park in the lot connected to the bar itself. Security checks your ID and you walk in to a fun young atmosphere! They are dog friendly but please leave the puppers at home on busy nights what's fun for you might be traumatic for them. Wide selection of beverages and plenty of outsourced food to choose from and for purchase. My favorite time to come is for the turtle races! It's free to play and someone in my group has always one at least one round for the drink of the night. The staff are highly approachable and fun to interact with that have bubbly personalities. College game nights can be packed so if you like crowds that's an event night for you!! Bonus*** find the man with the turtle shell backpack he started it all!! read more

Turtle racing was so fun! Works definitely go back. Plus, the food truck was delicious.

The true score of this place should be: 3.5 Pros: - Lively on a Thursday night prior to the first weekend of the Fall college football season. - large spaces with various areas - Turtle racing occuring intermittenly with stands surrounding to view and place bets - Reportedly, it's a typical go-to Texas Longhorns Houston Texas bar. Cons: - 2-3 attractive ladies seen out of the whole space (Thursday evening). Impression: - It was fun to check out Houston, Texas. It's been sometime since I've been back to Houston. It looks like they're doing well. read more

I've always had a good time every time I come in to Little Woodrow's. NEVER a problem getting inside. The bartenders are usually quick to get to you, even when it's super packed. At the very least, they will acknowledge you and then serve you when they get the chance. Unlike some other bars where the bartenders will not even acknowledge you, let alone serve you; you know the ones who pretend like they never see you but they will serve the hot chick/guy standing right next to you? Yeah, that. The last time I was here was during the day and the drinks being poured were generous. They had some construction work out in the patio though and the sawdust was everywhere. Oh, and let's not forget that JonJon Hot Dog camps out right outside! So get your drink on and then buy some hot dogs! read more

Ready! Set! Go! Janelle is the best staff member here. Love the spot. Great place to kick back and enjoy beers with friends. Tots were okay from the food truck. He gave me a hook up so I won't complain. Not further! Lol. Overall great spot. Early week is quite here. You can't go wrong. Oh side note....watch out for tree roots when leaving. If you fall and bust your behind it's embarrassing. True story. read more

So glad that Little Woodrow's has opened back up!! A great place to watch Saturday football and a must for longhorn fans. Love that they play the Texas fight song and eyes of Texas over the intercom!

Little Woodrow's Midtown - Frozen Irish Coffee - Sports Bars Near Me - Houston, Texas

We stopped by for the first time ever today, Monday, Dec 20, 2021. The bartender working at 5pm (woman) was the rudest person ever. We had never been to any of your locations before, so we were unaware of what, when, where, how food & drinks were served. She never smiled, she acted as if we were bothering her. Any questions we asked her, she replied as if we were stupid. Little does she realize that we own a restaurant & bar ourselves. We would never mistreat our patrons that way. There are too many restaurants out there that appreciate our business. The men who worked there whom we encountered were very friendly. He turned on the fire pit for us and he was extremely friendly. The bar back gentleman was friendly too. That bartender has lots of room for improvement. She was downright rude. read more

This location is in a good area where you can bar hop to the different spots. And that's what I'm usually doing whenever I stop by here. It's plenty of space and seating & some swings. Some lawn games and a food truck usually. A good sports bar to watch the games. And pet friendly. When I visited recently I got food from the Coffee-Q truck and a frozen drink from the bar. This drink was strong so 4 stars for them lol. I would like to return for their pet days if I can remember to do so. read more

The best part about this place is the food truck parked inside, the swings and giant games: Jenga and connect 4. The patio is huge, and has plenty of fans that mist, so it's actually really comfortable. Dog friendly too! My experience here with some friends started off terrible. The bartender, who I've included a picture of, was SO rude to all of us. The bar was almost empty when we got up to it, she didn't greet us, and tried to help a different girl that walked up after we did. She gave us a hot 3 seconds of her time to let us order a drink and 3 shots, and walked away. We had to wait an additional 5 minutes for her to acknowledge us again to order the other drinks that we wanted. She was abrupt and rude, no smile, no thank you, nothing. She was the reason we started to ask for a manager and then leave, but we opted to drink our drinks first. We later found a spot on the swings and decided it was ok to stay. I wouldn't come back here though. I'd try any of the other locations before ever coming here. When you have rude ass people serving paying customers, that can stop them from becoming regulars. So in that regard, mission accomplished. read more

I was there this past weekend, the 40/50s Hispanic bartender had absolutely no customer service experience to my knowledge. Made me feel very unwelcome in a place that I love coming to. I would expect better trained individuals from a business that holds itself to a high standard. This kind of service makes me want to never recommend this location to anybody nor come back myself. I hope this issue can be resolved. read more

I only went once but it was such a cool experience at the same time. I would say beware of the amount of people who are drunk there. My bestfriend was assaulted here by some guy while he was drunk and smacked her butt and we tried getting his put out but he was gone by the time the workers were looking for him. The turtles were adorable though! read more

Great environment and plenty to do if it's with friends or just yourself. Extremely friendly staff

The staff were rude. When it was closing time one of them walked by and kicked my friend's chair and said it's time to head towards the exit. There were plenty of people still seated but the kick to her seat took things too far. To top that off $47 for 2 shots on a Thursday night with an open concept neighborhood bar was a bit much. read more
