The editorial take
Birdies pours a sprawling cocktail menu that runs from $8 Grasshoppers to $14 seasonal numbers like El Fusilado and Smoke On The Watermelon. House Classics sit alongside creative infusions, and a dedicated No & Low Proof section covers non-drinkers. Draft and bottled beer cover familiar ground affordably. The 300-plus spirit collection backs a program that aims high, even if execution can wobble.
- What should I order?
- Start with the seasonal Horse With No Name or the Sour Patch Grownup for bourbon and Amaro Nonino. For something lighter, the Porn Star Martini or a no-proof Barely Lethal. Beer drinkers can grab a Sierra Nevada Pale Ale or a Miller High Life Pony.
- Who will enjoy this place?
- Cocktail enthusiasts looking for creative infusions and a wide spirit selection will find plenty to explore. The no & low proof section makes it welcoming for designated drivers. Groups after a lively bar scene with karaoke and shooters will also fit in.
- When should I go?
- Evenings are likely the best time to experience the full bar program, especially if you want to work through the seasonal cocktail list or sample the no & low proof options.

- What makes the beverage program distinctive?

How it sits with the food
No food menu is documented, but the bar's sweet and fruit-forward cocktails like the 5 Points Iced Tea and Sex On The River could pair with bar snacks or light fare if available. The hoppy Sierra Nevada Pale Ale would stand up to spicy or fried items.
