Bird — Restaurant in Mérida

During my recent visit to Bird, a craft beer bar. I had high hopes, given the establishment’s reputation and my own love for exploring unique brews. To my surprise, I found myself in a bit of a quandary after sampling six different beers from their selection. Among these, only one reached the threshold of being drinkable - and just barely at that. It’s not often that I struggle to find a gem in such a wide array, but this was one of those rare instances.

Seeking some guidance, I turned to the bartender, hoping for an insider recommendation. He suggested their ‘Number Ten,’ which, while not terrible, failed to hit the mark of what I consider a good craft beer. It left me pondering the purpose of a craft beer bar that doesn’t offer a selection of palatable options.

As someone who frequents many bars and enjoys the culture of craft beer, I usually refrain from giving negative reviews. However, in this case, I feel it’s necessary to share my experience. Bird has the potential to be a fantastic spot for beer enthusiasts, but it seems to fall short in delivering a satisfying beer experience. For those seeking a place with a reliably enjoyable beer selection, it might be wise to...

This restaurant was a totally mixed bag. We enjoyed the pepperoni pizza but the fungi was very bland, lacked salt and had absolutely no truffle that was detectable. Also I’m just shocked you can make button mushrooms bland. It was ultimately overpriced. The pizzas are smaller than other places with comparable quality but more expensive.

My partner got the beer flight and 4 were just watery and bitter and he only liked one. It is weird that they don’t let you choose for the flight from everything they have on tap.

At first it seemed attentive and fast but then the food took 40 minutes and we were one of 2 tables. Seems like they need more staff.

The atmosphere was a vibe for sure. We were there while it was empty so it wasn’t too hot nor too loud. We enjoyed looking around at the decor.

Overall, too expensive for what it is so we won’t likely return. But made for a good Pi...

Stopped in with the wife early last night for a few drinks and food. Our young server was fantastic. The beer on tap were a wide range from light ales to Imperial stouts. All were served in appropriate glassware at correct temperature. I started with the Bird’s own Black IPA, which I enjoyed, but when I tried their Session IPA #8. I found my Nirvana and stuck with that. We shared an order of garlic bread and a pizza which were both very good. The DJ began to spin tunes at 8 PM. The tape playing before he started was excellent for the ambiance of the place. The vibe is very relaxing and comfortable, and amazingly young (we felt like antiques here), but I’d come back here to drink and eat anytime. I’m sure we’ll be back before leaving Mérida. Give this...
