Formerly Original Woodman. From 2003 to 2022 it was Le QuecumBar, a privately operated French 1930s live jazz wine bar (pronounced ‘cucumber'): ‘London's home to Django Reinhardt's Gypsy Swing', open Thu-Sun post-Covid.
Reopened May 2024 as a 'Louisiana Lounge/Creole Kitchen', one of the small 'Rhythm & Booze' chain, with live music most nights. Two stages. Dark green walls and white ceilings. Renamed Woodpecker in November 2024, seemingly less food-oriented.
Nine keg fonts for beers and cider, including Rebellion IPA and Sambrook's specialities. Good bottled ale selection, including Theakston's Old Peculier.
Pool, darts, karaoke and open mic Wednesdays
