Graham Coombs left this review about Woodies
Often shown as the starting (or finishing) point of the Otley Run, but sufficiently far out of the city to avoid the worst excesses. This is a reasonable locals' pub with a slightly rustic feel from the distressed woodwork. There is one knocked though room with a courtyard beer garden behind. 6 handpumps had 4 various Greene King brews, including one of their Future Brewers series, plus Kirkstall Three Swords.

I'd never been to Woodies before, so it was one that I'd intended to do some time during the Super League season. I chose a Friday night game for my first visit. Having parked my bike nearby and approached the door, I nearly turned away in the face of a wall of noise caused by about a hundred people shouting at each other to make themselves heard above the loud music. I persevered, however, and managed to make myself heard to the busy bar staff. I took my half of Leeds Pale (all the beers on the bar were pale) to a quiet corner, in so far as such a place existed here. I found myself looking at a sort of internal advertisement, or mission statement, on the wall behind the bar: "Famous for our 12 quality cask ales!", it proudly proclaimed. Well, there were 12 hand pumps all right, but two of them were for cider, and two were vacant, leaving just eight real ales: and all of them pale or blonde. I can't see myself returning here any time soon.

Real Ale Ray left this review about Woodies
Another excellent real ale pub, in prime position at the beginning of the Otley Road crawl route. This is a traditional pub, which had a good atmosphere and had some good comfortable seating areas. The pub also had a choice of seven ales across twelve pumps, not bad for a Wednesday night. The pub also had a choice of ten ciders. Beer wise, we went for the Naylors Trick and Salamander Vampire, Halloween week so hence the names.
