Great for date night (there is a movie theater across the street too)! This accidental find was amazing! The staff is welcoming and willing to tell you about their favorites. Bar seating is comfortable for one or inviting friends. The sautéed calamari is a flavor marvel, with a surprising kick The mashed potatoes were light and complimented the calamari. Outside seating is available when the weather permits. Street parking ️ is available and free after 6pm. Can’t wait to go back and have entrees!!

$1 fresh local oysters from 3-5 pm *DAILY* is enough reason for anyone nearby to become a regular. Now add a cool calm vibe during those hours, a respectful crowd, great drink selections, decent food options, and really nice bartenders/staff, you really have *every* reason to be a regular. Stay a bit longer on Monday nights for live jazz to soothe the soul. Just saying, I'll definitely see you around sometime!

Best bartenders I’ve ever seen. They know their spirits and how to create to your tastes (they have my favorite tequila and never make a margarita too sweet). Ambiance and community vibe is warm and welcoming. My favorite hang out in metro west..

Dinner for three was wonderful. The Oyster special between 3-5 is a great happy hour appetizer to share. They were fresh and delicious. The service was friendly and attentive without being intrusive. The kabobs are amazing with lots of choices. The cauliflower side dish with pistachios is a must try. TV on the bar side has the games on and not extremely noisy. Great place

I liked the place. The food tasted great. You can choose from salad or a warm grain bowl and add there a shish kebab. They have different options for shish kebabs. I ordered a Caesar salad with chicken kebab. It was great. They have a nice drink menu. They even had 3 different options of Spritzes which is nice because I like them. My friends and I had a good time, we ordered desserts. We had Pot de Crème and some kind of donuts. Everything was so tasty. However, our waiter took forever to place our orders each time and to bring our checks. And he was always mumbling something. It was not a great experience. Other than that everything was perfect. There is parking available behind the building. This place is kinda small, I highly recommend making a reservation before you go there.

What an awesome neighborhood bar and restaurant! I just found out about this yesterday and went for dinner with friends. It's an incredible little spot with great vibes. The food was really fantastic, stand up for me was the Barada dip and the shrimp skewer. I don't know what they marinated the shrimp in but they were absolutely delicious. Great selection of wines and a full bar, all right there in W. Newton Square.Big thumbs up from me.

This was my first visit to Blue Bird. The reception area is crowded and difficult to navigate- a party of four was waiting to be seated and I could barely open the door to squeeze past. Ended up wandering around to find my friends. Drinks were great and initial service was prompt, friendly and efficient. We skipped apps and each ordered a main. I had the mussels appetizer as my main and it was so salty as to be completely inedible. I’m not sure anyone in the kitchen tasted anything before sending it out. Half the mussels were dried out and also inedible even without the broth. I ate two small pieces of bread that accompanied the meal as my dinner. The server who brought out the mains was so harried that she placed the dish for shells sideways, balanced between a glass and the bowl of mussels, as she was in such a hurry to deliver the food items. One item was wrong, but they replaced it quickly. No one came to ask how the food was at any time, though we were asked many times if we wanted another drink. Service then slowed to a crawl and we finally asked for our check 2 1/2 hours in. That was the first time it was noticed that I hadn’t eaten anything and was asked if everything was okay. My dinner mates seemed to enjoy their food, but alas, I will not be back.

Directly across the street from the theatre is a can't miss spot. The bartender is stellar. Try the Tomato & Burrata Skillet and Pickled Vegetables. Also if you are a fan, $1 OYSTERS 3-5 PM daily.
