World Famous Woody’s Tavern

About This Establishment

World Famous Woody's Tavern sits on Moab’s Main Street after a long hike, buzzing with energy. The Sloppy Woody comes hot and saucy—pork under a sticky, tangy glaze with a grease-slick bun that charred edges bite back. Baby Back Ribs show up as gluten-free protein options, with smoky crust and fall-apart texture to satisfy a post-adventure craving. It’s a no-frills, high-energy dive bar that delivers solid American bar food and cheap beers after a day outdoors.
