About Woody's
A visit to Woody's River Roo Pub & Grill is truly a unique
experience. The crowd is usually an eclectic mix of locals and visitors, most of which are always ready to spark up a conversation. The daytime atmosphere is friendly and laid back, with acoustic guitarists often entertaining the crowd. Yet nighttime can bring anything from hard driving blues & rock, to some of the best karaoke singers in the area. You'll often even see "Woody" and his wife Christine.
