Woody's Waterfront
Waterfront beach bar & grill
RebuildingClassic open-air waterfront bar where Corey meets Blind Pass, closed since Helene and slated for restoration.
About
What it's like
A longtime open-air bar and grill on the water at Blind Pass, where Corey Ave meets Sunset Way. It closed after Hurricane Helene flooded it with more than five feet of water. Its new owner, streamer Turner 'Tfue' Tenney, says he plans to bring it back under the Woody's name with its old beach-bar feel.
The story
How it got here
The family of Roxene Riles opened Woody's in 1988 and ran it for more than 35 years. After Helene, the family decided rebuilding was not feasible and sold the half-acre site for $2.4 million to Indian Rocks Beach resident and streamer Turner 'Tfue' Tenney.

Since the storms
Helene put more than five feet of water inside, wrecking the kitchen and dining room; the family closed it for good in January 2025 and listed it for sale. The new owner announced restoration plans in 2026, with permits still to be secured as of late September 2026.
