Bluebird

"Tasty" New American small plates "perfect for sharing" backed by an "endless" beer selection and "interesting" wines bring attention to this "cozy" Bucktown "gem"; toss in affordable tabs, and it's often "singing on the weekends with lively crowds."

The Bluebird Wine Bar & Bistro Restaurant Review

Wine, and the food that pairs well with it, is about as approachable as it gets at this Wicker Park hot-spot from the folks behind Webster’s Wine Bar. The beer list is every bit as good. The setting is distressed and industrial with a cozy-chic bar and tables fashioned from recycled materials, warehouse-like fixtures and exposed brick walls. Belly up and design your own charcuterie; we...

There used to be a bar called Bluebird where the bartenders played Jesus Lizard album sides and it was too dark to tell if the tables had veneers or if that tacky sheen was just dried Bud. This is not that Bluebird. Not that this winebar/gastropub is lacking in personality—despite the size of its long room, the wood interior and soft lighting are homey and encouraging—but the price of a single...

Not sure I can fully judge yet and I might need to go back for a meal sometime. I went for the Oyster happy hour and was a little disappointed. The oysters were served a little too room temperature for my taste, which kind of grosses me out. They also didn't serve them with hot sauce and horse radish. But, I …

Go for the beer and stay for the Whiskey.So I'm not a beer guy, but what I tried was great, but what this place also does well is whiskey and whiskey based drinks.The selection is pretty great and the bartenders really know their stuff and can find you what you like based on your tastes with ease.During …

Extensive beer selection and excellent wine list. The place is casual and the ambiance is great. So I was expecting better food, but to my disappointment I found it all very mediocre. Eat at Mindy's Hot Chocolate next door and then come here for drinks!

I use to come here all the time. They always have oyster specials which drives me crazy and keeps me coming back.Their food is unique. But this place isn't cheap. Is it worth it? Are the drinks worth it? The service is good and always knowledgeable and the food is always very flavourful. Is it worth it? Yes …

Welcome to the Bluebird! The culmination of several years of brainstorming along with many months of dirty work, this wine bar meets ale house meets bistro meets neighborhood watering hole opened in July of 2007.Our wine and beer selections are relatively small and yet at the same time rather diverse, covering a wider range of styles and geographical origins than many larger lists. The sole...

One of the first gastropubs in Chicago; Bluebird is known for its selection of hard-to-find bottled beer - many in ultra small batches. Also noteable are the "collaborations": you might see a beer crafted by Alpha King in conjunction with Bells, for example. Decent wine list also. Quite a few large-format bottles (750 ml) - some cost more than $40!

We sampled the fish of the day (Halibut)...

Visit Bluebird Bistro & Wine Bar for a light bite to eat and a delicious selection of beer and wine. The interior of this restaurant is industrial and modern, using old materials in new, trendy ways. The food menu includes salads, flatbreads, meat and cheese, and some light entrees. A great place to relax with friends after work, or to grab a classy dinner over the weekend.
