Slideshow: Inside Li’l Woody’s on Capitol Hill
The Woody’s mascot is a tot-friendly take on Sasquatch. "It’s fun to do something that’s not 21-plus," the bar owner says.
Lalario and a burger buff from Captain Blacks spent about five months building the regionally focused menu. Perfecting the recipes for the homemade sauces and spices also took some time. Eventually Lalario plans to sell those condiments as well as other local products, like the Boat Street pickled figs found on the Fig and Pig listed here. That and the chili–topped New Mexican are Lalario’s favorites.
Woody’s will stay open until 3am on weekends. Though this part of the Hill is less trafficked at night, Lalario isn’t concerned: "I feel strongly enough about our burgers that people will wander down for them."
The mezzanine and ground level will accommodate up to 40 eaters.
Lalario says the Painted Hills patties are cooked fresh—not frozen—and formed by hand.
The latest joint to fuel that boom is Li’l Woody’s, set to open publicly...
