The Bird has escaped me till now, but having theatre ticket in the pocked, this little bar was on the cards for some pre-drinks and a quick bite. The space is fairly dark with lounge chair in the front, and then a row of what looks like recycled church pews. We waited at the counter till someone arrived, who apologised for the wait, and took our order. We went with a glass of the Shiraz each, and since I didn’t have any lunch I ordered the classic, approachable, beef burger. Drinks arrived quickly and I enjoyed my glass, but my companion thought the Shiraz was a little took acidic to her liking; perhaps it needed longer cellaring to mellow. My burger arrived in a cardboard box and wrapped in...
Fairly disappointing the way we were treated, although the venue had a great vibe up until that point...
There was a reasonable number of us, probably 10-12 with a pretty equal gender mix, and the seating didn't really support that many, which left a good 5 or so of us always standing. Unfortunately even though there were maybe only another 10 -15 people in the place as we had arrived quite early, the barman seemed to have made some preconceptions about the type of group, or size (or length of hipster beard, or height of topknot) or something because for about an hour before we left, having only been there an hour before, he barated us about our volume, removed chairs we were sitting on and...
First time going to the bird, was arround William waiting for someone and decided to head in for a light lunch as I know the sous chef at young love mess hall which should be opening within a few months, and they cook for the bird. Food was quite cheap with everything including beer costing $30, and a nice variety on their small menu.
The creamy corn jacks, they were served with ailoi I'm pretty sure and were just to die for, a kind of fried croquette with a hint of curry and spice in them and nice and corny but not over the top. A sticky pork banh mi, lovely light salad ontop, lots crispy bits of lovely caramelised pork which was nice and saucy but not too much, and nice slightly toasted...
ende januar 2019 is cellar door sundays in the bird mess hall in northbridge. the young here have joined with some of the best wineries in Australia to bring cellar doors from the weeland to the city. how it works: every Sunday we see a new winery pop in the room to present their weeping and war. most weekends this is started with a long table, the careful wee pairings (tickets available on the website of the vogel), before tasting with the producer, which are also available to members of the public. the chefs behind eating are turned every week, which means that no cellar door experience will be like any other.

Always love coming to The Bird. The warm comfortable atmosphere it provides with great staff and a cozy interior makes it a great place to come. George, one of the bartenders always has a smile on his face and has great customer service. They also now serve super tasty modern/vietnamese food, including my favourites the lamb boa, sticky pork bahn mi and shoestring fries!
The bird is a friggin awesome when the music is your cup of tea.. hip hop kara'yo'ke is such a great time, bad rap and it's pretty hilarious and good rap you're yelling for more. Cool, kitschy, basic decor - church pews, cosy outside area with a couple of couches. It's got a cool, easygoing vibe that sets you up to have a great night ????????
No food here but a great spot to do a bit of unpretentious chilling. No bells and whistles just Perths best espresso martinis and home to some of the better more elective gigs.

I had been meaning to drink at The Bird for some time and I now know why it's so revered. The back courtyard was pumping and transported me back to Melbourne. The delicious espresso martini helped too!
