WDY'S

Tavern & Sports Bar

“Tell everybody not to tell anybody.”

That's our line, and it's been on the page a long time. Shuffleboard, two pool tables, darts, foosball and a jukebox. Free lot out front. Smoke free inside, which is the thing our regulars most want you to know.

What's here

Six things to do
that aren't your phone

Most of this is painted on the sign out on the parkway, and has been for years. It's all still in here.

  1. Shuffleboard

    The full length table with the scoreboard on the wall, right as you come past the bar.

  2. Two pool tables

    Both of them in the back room, cues on the rack by the wall.

  3. Darts

    On the wall behind the bar. It's half the logo, so we had better have a board.

  4. Foosball

    A Tornado table, in the corner under the photos.

  5. Jukebox

    Yours to argue over.

  6. Screens

    Over the bar and through the back room. Hawkeyes and Vikings signs are up year round.

Since we cleared the air

“A true dive bar relic that other bars try to fake like they are the genuine article like this.”

Jake Beard·March 2026

We went smoke free inside. If you looked us up a while back and read a one star review about the smoke, that's the old bar. Come back and see.

The room

Three walls
of you lot

The back room is papered floor to ceiling with photographs of the people who come in here. It has been that way for at least ten years, and it keeps growing.

Everything else is what a tavern is supposed to be. A wooden bar with the name cut into the front of it, an eight ball and a dartboard where the two Os should go. Neon on the walls. Hawkeyes and Vikings signs that stay up all year round. A quarter pusher by the cues.

Bands play back there too. There is a music video that was shot in this room.

  • Free parking lot out front
  • Free street parking as well

Great staff. Friendly people. Local bar. Shuffleboard!!!

Kerry FrazierMay 2026

Very friendly, clean, and well stocked bar. Seems to be a locals hangout. Great crowd but not overcrowded.

Gene Azarskis (Zark)January 2026

Absolutely without question the best Hawkeye/Viking bar in Iowa or Missouri!!!!

Design ToddNovember 2025

Visited from Michigan and immediately we were drawn to Woody's. We spent all 4 nights of our girls trip here and loved every second of it. Friendly and helpful locals and bartenders who all quickly became friends.
