Went for trivia and truly enjoyed everything! Staff was great, good beer and food, and I loved the vibe of the establishment.

Nice little spot on the Eastside of MKE. Solid beers in a variety of styles. Limited food choices such as chips and pizzas.The space is very fun with arcade games, board games, etc. very chill environment and worth a visit.

The perfect vegan brewery! Come here for every event and you won't be disappointed! Service is always great, and the arcade surroundings will wrap you in a warm blanket of nostalgia. It's your friend's basement where you played video games as a kid, and your friend's mom has made pizza!

Deadbird is just a couple blocks for me and my fiance so we treat it a bit like a second living room on nights when we're looking for a drink, but don't have the energy to get dolled up. Their beer is solid, but they make some spectacular cocktails, and their vegan menu is an excellent collection of flavors we find it hard to find elsewhere. Every time we go in the vibe is fun and different, last time we were there they were doing a showing of groundhog day, we felt a bit silly for not realizing what day it was and not checking their event calendar. That was until we realized it was the day before groundhog day, and their online calendar made no mention of it, haha. We had a board game started already so we just figured it was nice to have some fun background noise. The service can be hit and miss, but only because it seems like they try to keep staffing light, and they are incredibly nice once you've got their attention. Come for the beer, stay for a cocktail or two while you wreck your friends in Life. (the game)

Dead Bird is in my top 3 breweries in MKE. Their beer is always fantastic; over the summer they had a strong English ale that was one of the best I’ve had. LOVE that they are vegan, too. ?

I love this spot! It's in an area with not too much else surrounding it but they're making it work. The food is incredible and there's a ton of vegan options. They've done an amazing job with the set up of the space and even though it's a large room it feels cozy. The large windows at the back let in a lot of light and really open it up! They've got hammerschlaugen and shuffleboard as well as arcade machines and board games galore!

This was a fun brewery to visit. They had a selection of games on the wall but what really caught my eye was the hammer game. Very unique. They also had lots of arcade games too. They had a kitchen going with a lot of interesting looking pizzas, but we just had a pretzel which was good.
Man, just a tough experience. Wanted it to be great but got a really bad pour on my beer and the music was awful. Played the same artist the entire time and it was just bad.

So it's vegan beer (no bacon), but that's cool because all the beer I drink is vegan.

Participated in an event here and the vibe is oh so cool. Love that the food is vegan. The nacho bar was delicious. I didn't even miss the cheese. The beer was delicious and the space was really huge and fun.

I didn't think the perfect place for me existed, yet here it is. Amazing food, great beer, and all of my favourite arcade machines? And it's all vegan? Feels too good to be true.The nachos are insane, it's hard for me to try the rest of the menu when I keep filling up on nachos, but from what I have had, there's not a single mediocre item on the menu, it's all great.
Beer was ok, pizza was very good.
