The bird

After the infamous Calico Jacks closed in 2020, it was a relief to see some of the former staff open up The Bird on the Seven Mile Strip. This may not have a beachfront setting, but with the majority of the staff consisting of well-known, fun-loving bartenders, it was bound to be a huge success. What started out with a food menu focused on comfort food in the form of chicken wings and fried appetisers, has expanded into some pretty wild, yet tasty, creations including their Kyoto Fries, Popcorn Cauliflower and Shredded Brussels Sprouts Salad. This restaurant & bar has an eclectic vibe that caters to each of their guests; the sports fan wanting to watch the game, the music lover jamming with live bands, the crew who want to hang out after work and the partier looking to dance the night away. Ultimately, you are in for a good time no matter when you go and don’t be surprised if a ‘Shaft’ shot gets placed in front of you.

Shredded Brussels Sprouts & Kale Salad is my go-to healthy dish whether it’s solo, or if I add grilled chicken or fried cauliflower on top. Along with kale and brussels sprouts they toss edamame, roasted pumpkin seeds, shredded carrots and parmesan cheese with a maple-dijon vinaigrette. — *Shredded Brussels Sprouts & Kale Salad* is my go-to healthy dish whether it’s solo, or if I add grilled chicken or fried cauliflower on top.
