So I think I am the first person to tell you that Woody's is the site of many of the scenes filmed for Queer as Folk and unlike lots of other things promoted in that show-all night dancing on a Tuesday night, the dependability of your best friends, tricks that you never see again-the good times of Woody's are the most true to form.
I can't remember if I found the crowd that personable and friendly, this is a gay bar after all but it is one I found a good place to watch the Academy Awards in the off year I was there.
Woody's seems to serve as an anchor for the gayborhood street which runs deep with gay shops and gay pride. In the years QAF filmed there, you could see the cast there and easily get yourself an "extra" casting.
