 Back in 1938, a guy named
Coach decided he wanted to open a bar. He wanted his bar to
feature the coldest beer in town and he wanted it served by
friendly, beautiful girls from Texas. If his customers
could get that plus a place to watch the game, hang out with
good friends , and sit outside on a nice deck he’d be a real
happy bar owner. Ol’ Coach didn’t know much about the
business so he took a weekend job as a barback at a well
known Honkey Tonk in Pasadena. During the week he was
a doorman at a “men’s establishment.” Soon Ol’
Coach quit those jobs, but came away with two very important
fundamentals in which he carries today right here at Little
Woodrow’s. Nothing is better then Ice Cold Beer and
Beautiful Women.
Coach’s
first bar was named “Woodies.” Since coach was an avid duck
hunter and he wanted it named after his favorite kind of
duck. Ol’ Coach sort of thought he was a ladies man, so he
started implying the bar was named after a certain private
part of his. He often could be found out at the bar telling
stupid “woodie” tales and thoroughly keeping the ladies of
Houston entertained. Woodies kept going well, so Coach
decided to open another bar. He named the bar “Woodrow’s”
in honor of his now more mature “woodie.”
Soon Ol’
Coach had time on his hands and money to burn. He became
quite the beer connoisseur traveling the world to drink
beer. He became a well known poker player, skied tall
mountains , and surfed tall waves. Twenty years passed and
Ol’ Coach was getting old, but he decided to open another
bar, one that featured the beers of his worldly travels. He
wanted this bar to serve over 100 beers and create a place
where everyone came to socialize, have fun and drink the ice
cold beer served from beautiful women. His dilemma now was
what to call the bar? He had hit the ripe old age of 50 and
wanted to keep the legend of “Woodrow’s” so he had only one
choice “Little Woodrow’s”
Every
great bar has a story and this one is ours. Little
Woodrow’s is now a famous Houston and Austin institution in beer drinking and
good times and hopefully always will be. Customers can
still, to this day, find Coach at the bar singing his
favorite jukebox tune. “To all the girls I’ve loved
before”
Thanks
and come again

story is a little bit true and a whole lotta bull. Hope you
