At the Wood Street Bear, we try to do things a little differently. This isn’t a place packed with screens or chasing trends. We’re all about excellent music, decent drinks, and meeting people in real life. We’re proudly music-first, with DJs spinning vinyl four nights a week and a vibe that feels more like your mate’s front room than a typical bar. Simon, who owns the place, is a Walthamstow local and longtime DJ, and you can feel that personal touch in everything—from the friendly atmosphere to the carefully picked beer and wine list.

We keep it small and thoughtful, favouring quality and local suppliers. What really sets us apart, however, is the community feel. Whether you come alone or with mates, it’s the kind of place where you’ll end up chatting to someone at the next table. Comfy, welcoming, and always full of life—this is your neighbourhood bar.
