Woodie’s Flat Virtual Walk-Through
Woodie’s Flat is where sports, wings, and good beers come together in the heart of Old Town. Known for our award-winning wings, we’re the place to watch the big game, or grab a beer with friends.
Every inch of our bar is built for fun—massive TVs for all the action, a dog-friendly patio, a cool lower level lounge, and a second floor where the energy never dies. Whether it’s college football, NHL, NBA, WNBA, or a random Wednesday night out, you’re gonna want to spend it with Woodie’s and team.
And let’s talk about the food—our wings are legendary, and 3x People’s Choice award winners at Chicago’s Wing Out Festival. As our fearless leader and GM Shawn says, he’ll literally pay for your wings if you don’t think they’re the best you’ve ever had. A sizable beer list and we’ve even got those trendy non-alcoholic THC seltzers. From 22oz frosty fatpour mugs of beer to late-night bites, Woodie’s is the MVP of your weekend lineup.
Starting with groups as small as 9 guests, all the way up to a 150-person venue buyout, Woodies is conveniently located off Wells Street in the heart of Old Town, within walking distance of The Lincoln Hotel, Ambassador Chicago by Hyatt, Claridge House, Level Chicago, and The Sono Chicago.

Common questions related to booking and planning private events at Woodie’s
How far in advance can you book an event?
You can book a party with us up to 12 months in advance. We recommend booking an event 4-6 weeks in advance if possible, but can always accommodate last-minute groups. We get very busy for game days so reserve in advance if possible.
Can I rent out the entire venue or just a floor or one section?
Yes! Our event planners can guide you through the entire process, block of specific tables or areas, and even book your entertainment, DJ, or team-building activity.
Can we bring in outside food or a cake?
Yes! You can have your cake from a commercial bakery, but we do not allow outside food for private events
Can we have the sound on for a game for our group?
Depending on the date and space you book, you may also be able to have dedicated event sound. For second floor events where the entire space is reserved, it is likely we can also play game sound. We suggest asking one of our event planners to know for sure.
I am not quite sure what my per person budget is, should I still reach out to discuss options with an event planner?
Yes! Our event team has worked with just about any budget, and it’s always nice to know what your options are based on your group size or needs.
