The Woody, 1649 Main Street: Late October 2025 3 comments
The Woody moved from the Vista to this Main Street corner in 2020, and continued in operation after the passing of founder Woody Windham last year. Unfortunately with the new SC liquor liability laws, the family is unable to keep the doors open past October.
They say they hope to open in a new location as a real restaurant, but there are no firm plans for that yet.
In the meantime, the upstairs neighbor, Hendrix, will be taking over the space to open a pizza restaurant.
You can read about the closing in ColaDaily, The Post & Courier, The State, and on WLTX.
It seems to me that South Carolina's nightlife scene has been greatly altered almost surreptitiously & through the back door.
The Woody, 808 Lady Street: 29 June 2019 (Moved) 4 comments
The Woody is legendary Columbia DJ Woody Windham's nightclub in The Vista. Although I was a WIS AM fan back in the day, I can't recall a time when Windham hasn't had something going on in the area.
The sign on the door confirms commenter Lone Wolf's note that this place is closing/moving, but I can't find out any further details. Curiously, the club doesn't seem to have a web site or an official Facebook page, and there don't seem to be any stories in the local media. Hopefully they will find another space somewhere.

UPDATE 4 February 2021 -- Here is the new location of The Woody at 1649 Main Street, the former location of Hennessy's Restaurant & Lounge:
Also adding "Moved" to the post title.
