It looks like there’s only brussel sprouts and the miso honey special that can be made vegan. I think the options others ordered are no longer available.

We LOVE trying the crazy innovative and creatives foods these guys come up with! They literally got things down here to a science and an art — everything is familiar yet nothing like you’ve had before. Even behind the bar it looks like a chemistry lab. And at the end of the day, it’s really REALLY good food.

Stopped in to see what the place was like while I was on my way somewhere else.
I asked about the available beer and landed on a sour as the waiter was naming them off. I expected to get a draft, but it came in a can (pint) and it was 12.50.
I mean, it is what it is, but if I wanted a beer in a can I could just get that and head home and not pay 12.50 per can. Or better yet, just stop a door or two down in either direction and get a draught pint for cheaper at two different eateries.
The place does have a cool ambience inside and out and the server was extremely attentive.
The waiter was insistent that they have great small plates and that I try some - I passed as I was truly headed somewhere else, but I will likely drop back in in the coming weeks and update this after trying some of their fare. Maybe during happy hour as I am not a huge fan of paying draft prices for canned beer. Honestly, I am not sure how they land on their prices given the better value (same quality) options within a 2-3 min walk.

I could not find one thing about this place that could be improved upon, friendliest and most knowledgeable staff, stunning cocktails, delicious bites, beautiful decor, incredible layout for a fun speakeasy, I could go on and on. Thank you to Mike, Drew, and Sergey for making my birthday weekend extra special. I cannot wait to be back.

I appreciate that they have several vegan options on the menu, but I found the food greasy, heavy and not very flavorful. I would not come back here.

Nice bar with an upscale, clean look. Delicious food and drink in an easy to access part of town!

RailBird opened not too long ago and it’s become one of my go to spots to bring out of towners for happy hour. The menu rotates seasonally but, it’s tapas style and they usually have reworked/more upscale versions of bar bites. They have some sandwiches which are good but, the cocktails are the real draw.
We've been here a few times; the cocktails are always delicious! Really like that the menu rotates seasonally (although I hope the tater tots stick around because they're amazing). They've got some great happy hour deals, too. The staff are friendly and the space is comfortable. We'll be back!

Loved the fried chicken Sandos and shrimp tempura. Unique drinks with unique food. Definitely worth a trip. Would recommend. Pricing is a little high but food is yummy. Ambience could be better. Place is tiny with limited seating. $100 for two people.

Love the food at this place. I've tried most the sandwiches and sides. Would love to come back to try more bevvies. You can tell they put a lot of love into the restaurant ❤️

Love the food and drinks, but the fluorescent lighting has to go. Please consider switching to bulbs that give off a "warmer" glow.

Very nice bar-forward spot, with a limited but well curated menu of upscale apps and jazzed-up fried chicken sandwiches. My wife and I found that splitting an app and a sandwich made a meal for us. We stopped by for lunch and didn't have a cocktail, but its craft menu looked enticing.The interior is very sleek, modern, and bright - not what one expects in the Old Town area, but we found it to be nice for a change. If you're looking for a much more intimate and warm experience be sure to check out its sister spot - right next door - which is a speakeasy called Captain Gregory's.
As of June 2025, it seems permanently closed.
