Reviews
Such a fun place with zero proof drinks and gluten free food options!! This place checked off ALL the boxes and was exactly what we were looking for!!
Super fun vibe with beautiful plants, decor, candles, and a great place to catch up with friends!
All the staff was extremely friendly, personable, and knowledgeable about the menu.
I went with 1 other person and we tried their zero proof cocktails. Two of the three were wonderful. One was a little lack luster (said there was elderflower but we didn’t taste it and it felt like a fancy lemonade).
The menu was clearly marked with GF for all the gluten free options! We got the fries even through they weren’t marked GF. They use a shared fryer, so decide for yourself.
All in all, such a wonderful experience and I’ll be recommending to everyone!!
Jungle Bird serves craft cocktails in a much more casual atmosphere than some is the city’s more cloistered speakeasies — and that’s a great thing. The cocktails on the menu may have curious and adventurous ingredients and guffaw-inducing names (“I’m Old Fashioned”, “Cigarettes and Sex”), but each one we tried was strikingly well-balanced and nicely presented. The food is Asian fusion, which would seem an odd fit and a turn-off — except that it was really good. The happy hour chicken and ginger pan-fried dumplings were exceptional, and the Thai-chili deep-fried chickpeas were addictive.
Jingle Bird is a fantastic place to meet up after work in whatever you’re wearing. Just make a reservation and don’t plan to loiter. They firmly reminded us to leave once our two-hour reservation allotment ended. But that’s just the price for more democratic access to a truly well-executed bar.
Cannot say enough great things about Jungle Bird! We went earlier in the night on NYE and sat at the bar for some cocktails and snacks - our drinks were outstanding and the food was good too. The fried garlic on top of the fries stole the show for me, ha! The service was attentive but not overbearing. Perfect night all around. I can't wait to come back!
Jungle Bird is a cute spot for cocktails and small bites if you are hungry. The food was surprisingly good but small portions! The cocktails were also very creative and strong!
Our host/waiter was wonderful and the drinks were incredibly delicious and well balanced. Clean and cute and not pretentious at all! The espresso martini I had was by far one of the best I have drank! Thank you for hosting us and making us feel so special and welcomed.
We had been trying to go to another bar which had a private event and the doorman there told us to check out Jungle Bird and heck yeah that was the right move.
There were a lot of people, but it also wasn't super packed. Just the right amount of crowd for a Wednesday night.
Between our group we tried the Baby One More Time, the MMMBop the Devil I know, the Jungle Bird, the I Melt With You, and then probably more but I can't really remember.
What I do remember is everything we drank was phenomenal. Inventive spins on things you've had, new things you hadn't even tried before. It was a great stop and a great addition to our evening!
Food/Drink 8/10
We walked in and there was space, but this was also back in 2021. I just realized I had this review in my drafts but never posted it. I remember we ordered some Asian inspired snacks along with our drinks, such as the Taiwanese chicken poppers and shrimp skewers, and those were great. The drinks menu was also very tasty.
Atmosphere 9/10
Vibey and energetic, a cool atmosphere.
Service 7/10
There’s not much service to remember, since it’s a bar and I think everything came quite quickly as we sat near a bar area.
Went here on a Saturday night for drinks and snacks. Drinks were 10/10, but their food was unbelievable. Jungle Fries and spring rolls were made to perfection. Great service, atmosphere, nostalgic music and wallpapers!
