The Phoenix City Council approved a new Series 12 (Restaurant) liquor license for The Green Woodpecker, located at 3110 N. Central Avenue in District 4. This location was previously licensed with a Series 7 (Beer and Wine Bar) liquor license. The applicant, Amy Nations, submitted the request for the upgrade, stating the owners' extensive experience in the restaurant industry and familiarity with liquor laws. The staff initially made no recommendation, pending the conclusion of the 20-day public comment period, but later revised its recommendation to "Approval" after the posting process concluded. The ownership also holds Series 12 liquor licenses for three "Gadzooks Enchiladas and Soup" locations in Arizona. Police calls for service at The Green Woodpecker's current address were noted as 81 within the last 12 months, though no liquor license violations were on file. No protest or support letters were received by the agenda finalization.
