   This was my first Drag Brunch at Spare Birdie and it won't be my last! We had a blast! Loved the food, service and the entertainment. I just have one recommendation regarding making reservations. B/c it gave me the option for inside or outside, I wasn't sure where the show was being held. I initially chose inside but then had to change the reservation and my only option was outside. I decided to call to ask about logistics and was told the show was all outside. Knowing the show for Jun/Jul/Aug are inside, it would be nice if Open Table could have a box to check if you were planning on attending the show.

   Disappointed with the Food and Drinks Visited Spare Birdie hoping for a fun night out, but unfortunately, the food and drinks were a letdown. The venue itself looks great—modern and stylish—but the kitchen and bar did not deliver. The food was overpriced for what we got: salty, lukewarm, and clearly not made fresh. The drinks were equally disappointing—weak cocktails and no real flavor. Service was slow and inattentive, even though the place wasn’t packed. We waited a long time for everything and had to flag someone down just to get refills. For the price, I expected a much better experience. Great place to bowl and hang out, but I wouldn’t recommend coming here to eat or drink. Definitely eat before you go.

   Food was delicious and cocktails delicious and inventive. Virtual games and bowling were fun but I liked the food and drink better. The kids were into the games.

   M We celebrated my daughter’s 14th birthday at Spare Birdie, and it was fantastic! We bowled, had fun in the virtual bay, relaxed on the patio, and even got to enjoy a live band. The atmosphere was amazing!

   I really like this place but service this Thursday was aweful. We sat outside. Service was Very slow and un-attentive. I Was there for 2 hours and my glass water got filled once…. Even tho I put my glass at the end of the table for him to see. Brought the wrong food. He came to take the order, delivered the wrong food and then saw him again to bring the check.

   From the very first bite to the final sip of the velvety tomato bisque, this meal was an experience in indulgence and creativity. Each dish offered a unique twist on comfort food, elevated with gourmet touches and bold flavor pairings. The Wagyu Sliders were a masterclass in richness and balance. Juicy, tender, and expertly seasoned, the beef melted in my mouth, paired perfectly with pillowy buns. Each bite felt like a celebration of quality and precision. Then came the Brie Grilled Sandwich, which stole the spotlight with its luxurious creaminess. The Brie oozed between golden, buttery slices of toasted sourdough bread—decadent on its own—but when dipped into the house-made tomato bisque, it became something divine. The soup was velvety, rich, and laced with just enough tang to contrast the cheese—comfort food at its finest. Lastly, the Jalapeño Jam Burger was a bold and brilliant creation. Sweet heat from the jam met the savory heart of the burger, resulting in a flavor explosion that danced on our palate. This was not just a meal—I’m already dreaming of my next visit. The food was truly delicious. I’ve been telling all my friends to go check it out, they will not be disappointed!
