Matt Miller, owner of Woody’s, has retired or “R-e-t-i-r-e-d” as he posted on Facebook. But the bar remains open with the same great staff.

Before buying Moby Dick’s, the bar that became Woody’s, Miller was an owner of the Dallas Eagle.

After 29 years/6 days in the bar business and 20 years, 3 months and 13 days at Woody’s, I am officially retired. Thank you Dallas for supporting me and the great staff. Please continue to stop by Woody’s and grab a drink from your favorite bartender.
So many great staff to thank so i better just say “you know what role you played in our success”. Adios!

The bar was purchased by Arthur Hood and HV Entertainment LLC, owners of Hamburger Mary’s, and Jason Preston, Kevin Miller, Gary Miller and Alan Pierce from the Round-Up Saloon.

“Everything’s going to remain the same,” Hood said. “We congratulate Matt on running a successful bar for over 20 years and hope to keep it going in the same direction.”

Jason Miller said, “We are excited to continue the legacy that Matt Miller has created and look forward to the continued success of the bar and its traditions.”
