    Two Hearted Ale
    Megh L.

    Have been to Woodie's a bunch of times and am finally getting around to reviewing it. Most times I've been there it's been fairly busy. This time we stopped in before a show at Zanie's. I think we hit it just right timing wise. We got a table upstairs and our server/bartender was super attentive and friendly. We just stayed for drinks but I'd definitely go back to get stuff off the Wing Sauce Calendar Menu!

    Came to watch the Super Bowl and had a good time. Plenty of TVs to watch the game. The server was very attentive, always asking if we needed anything. Food was all very delicious. Solid spot to watch some games and eat some bar food.

    In town from Colorado and we were looking for a place along our walk from the subway to the Second City Theater. I always like to try a new wing place and I was sold after reading Teddy B's review. This restaurant is set in a really nice, cozy feeling neighborhood. We chose an outdoor table which was perfectly shaded and comfortable. I'm hot or cold when it comes to smoked wings, as I prefer fried, but these were smoked perfectly for my picky tastes. The buffalo sauce was thick, flavorful and a spot on medium. My fries were extra crispy and didn't need salt. The bf had the nacho platter which he devoured. It was a beautiful afternoon after the previous day of clouds and rain, so the streets and restaurant were hopping. I feel we experienced good service for how busy the place was and we didn't have to wait very long for our food. There was never an empty table the entire time we were there and everyone from the bartenders, waitstaff and runners seemed to keep up and communicated well with diners. Thanks for an enjoyable part of our night.

    Great spot for a late night bite with friends! They gave out churros to all the tables which is a great plus! The wings were quite small but very delicious. I got the sriracha honey and cheesy garlic with a side of ranch- sooooooo good! My friends also raved about the burger which hit the spot after a night out!

    My husband and pups accompanied me to happy hour at Woodie's Flat. Dogs are allowed on their patio outside, as well as inside the restaurant! Happy hour is from 5-7 during the week, and they have great prices on drinks and special foods. We started with Fatpours, which are not on the happy hour, because we were feeling beers. Then, we got 2 items on the happy hour, their loaded nachos, and pretzels with beer cheese. Of course we had to order our favorite wings off the normal menu, including my favorite super buff sauce. Even with the sauce the wings are crispy. The burger was perfect and I am in love with their fries. We're either here, or order from here, every other week. Service is always amazing, and ambiance is always happy!!!

    I love this place - everything from the music, vibes, drinks, and food. Our bartender was the best too - Matthew took care of our group and made sure we always had a drink order coming! The super buffalo wings were deliciously spicy, and the sriracha soy wings were a nice complementary sweeter sauce. The side salad was a nice size with fresh veggies as well. Overall one of the best places on wells street especially for watching sports!

    The WTF drink w bourbon was tasty and creative with caramel popcorn on top which tasted good together! The sweetness of the drink was nice. The wings were good and off the bone and it was good. The sauces like cheesy garlic and peach mustard BBQ were good. The indoor and outdoor seating options were good. Nice ambience and no blaring music of loud din or people talking so it was.a nice experience.

    Classic Buffalo & Nashville Hot - Hickory smoked then fried crisp.
    Christopher V.

    If you know of better Buffalo wings in Chicago send me a DM, lol. It's tough to beat smoked then fried crispy wings. Woodie's is an Ohio State dive bar, but don't let that fool you. Service is consistently great. I usually opt for the Classic Buffalo. Beware of the Super Buffalo. I'm pretty sure it's a habanero Buffalo sauce. It's not intolerable, but the heat definitely builds. 4.19 stars

    It's 40 degrees and my food sat in the back of a cigarette smokers car!

There is an upstairs area that's a little more loungier whereas the downstairs can get more rowdy on game day. We came during the championship game, and this was the perfect spot to be. We came early to be able to snag some bar seats upstairs and enjoy multiple drinks and food. Drinks are great - some cocktails and beers are only offered downstairs. Food was a mix: Chimichurri cauliflower: smaller portion than I expected, nothing special I'd skip this dish. Ceasar salad: dressing is very heavy on the anchovy paste, otherwise good portion and veggies. Loaded fries: huge portion with lots of great toppings, though I wish their fries were more 'fry' like versus potato skin-like. Chicken tenders: I got this with sweet potato fries, and they were way too salty. The chicken tenders were 4 skimpy pieces of chicken, and I was charged for extra dipping sauces and ketchup. The spicy mango habanero and buffalo are good - skip the garlic parmesan. I will most definitely be back for the vibes, drinks, and service. I'm hoping the food is just working on some kinks and will get better the next time!

Every seat in the house has a good view of a widescreen TV with the game on. The bar has a cozy, casual vibe. On game day it's very loud; if you plan to chat with your group you'll be shouting to be heard! I highly recommend the chicken Caesar wrap. I had low expectations since this is a sports bar but this is probably the best chicken Caesar wrap I've had in my life. In light of how good this meal was I plan to return soon and try the rest of the menu. I also had a cocktail that was tasty and cheaper than some of the drinks on offer from nearby bars ($13).

There were a lot of TVs all around the bar, so you won't be tilting your head back to watch the game from any angle. Our server was new, but she did a great job with taking everyone's orders and also being very upfront about saying she will ask about the drafts on tap so she can give us an accurate drink selection. The food from Theory never disappoints. Last year, I had the Theory Burger and was delighted by how good it was. This year, I tried the Challah French Toast and it was pleasantly delicious. The Mac and Cheese was also a solid choice, and for $8, they provided a good amount of food! And that Chicken Parm Egg Roll...wow they were so good!! I was skeptical from the name, but this was like having a pizza roll but in egg roll form The only reason I am giving this place 4 stars is because Theory has severely up charged for the Champions League. I recall last year a reservation was $5/person, but this year they charged $15/person. For this reason, we came in at 9AM opening time for an 8-person table and were able to get one without having to pay the reservation fee. I really like how organized Theory is though, as a sports bar. Service has always been great and I may come again for another game!

If you've been to the old spot I'm talking about, you'll notice immediately that The Scout still has the beautiful, soaring ceilings, but they've also remodeled a chunk of the restaurant, which is great! We sat down pretty immediately at a table in the back of the restaurant - not too far from the (new) DJ booth, and our waitress was extremely kind and gave us prompt service. We were just hanging out, listening to the music, when the NFL Divisional playoff game that was on tonight came back on, and let me tell you, it was the loudest game audio I have ever heard in a bar, ever. I've been going to sports bars for most of my adult life, and I get that folks can get excited and loud and that's not what I'm talking about. The audio of just the announcers and players from the telecast were almost exceeding 100 dBA, slow, without the bar cheering. I've been an audio engineer for over 20 years, and that isn't too far off from the base level of what you'll experience at concerts at the United Center (102-110 dBA, slow). We asked twice if the zone that encompassed our area of the restaurant could be turned down - but nothing changed, so we took our food to go and left. It wasn't just "can't have a conversation" loud, it was "I can't think" loud. This place needs to do some system tuning (the example I'll give - if you go to a Yard House the environment is loud and lively but you can still hold a conversation at your table because the audio system is extremely well tuned). The food that we ate when we got home (Kids mac n cheese and buffalo wings) were exceptional, so that's why I'm not leaving a single star. I don't know if we'll be back, I was incredibly disappointed tonight.
