Woody’s, situated on Wood Street in Old Town is set to undergo a spectacular transformation, thanks to a substantial half-million-pound investment.
The recently closed venue will soon be reborn as “Route 66,” an American Sports Bar that promises to redefine the entertainment landscape of the popular Old Town street.
Scheduled to open its doors in February 2024, Route 66 aims to capture the essence of American sports culture, before transforming into a late-night ‘fun’ 80′ and 90’s venue right in the heart of Swindon.
The venture is the brainchild of the new owners of the Wood Street venue, who envision a vibrant fusion of sports, entertainment, and fun.
The revamped venue will boast a comprehensive selection of American beers and cocktails available throughout the week, ensuring that customers can indulge something different while enjoying their favourite sports before seamlessly transitioning into a fun-filled pop bar as the evening unfolds.
The owners are keen on creating a space that caters to the varied tastes of the Old Town community. The coexistence of Route 66 with Old Town’s current offerings including a revamped Old Bank, Kioki, and the long-standing Mackenzies, is a strategic move to ensure that Old Town remains an inclusive destination for all.
Whether you’re a sports enthusiast seeking the thrill of the game or someone looking to unwind in a lively 80s/90s-inspired setting, Route 66 promises to be the go-to spot for an unforgettable experience.
The owners have expressed their excitement about contributing something different to the local nightlife scene and believe that Route 66 will be a dynamic addition to the vibrant tapestry of Old Town.
This substantial investment is also a sign of dedication to enhancing the entertainment options available to the Swindon community.
