The fact this place will kick you out for asking to use the BATHROOM while serving alcohol at a full capacity bar is absolutely absurd. They hosted the Megan Moroney after party and literally told people if they have to use the bathroom (which is outside) that you won't be allowed back inside the bar. How they even think in their right mind that's okay is BEYOND me. So it's okay for you to serve me alcohol with no limit but god forbid I have to pee like a human, then it's a big F YOU. Would never recommend this bar to anyone ever just for the simple fact they don't allow customers to pee.
EDIT: Odd Birds Cocktail Lounge and Kitchen I don't have a partner. But I appreciate you making the assumptions. If you know how many drinks I had then you would also know I had one drink the entire time I was there. You don't know all of your facts I see. But kind of weird to be upset that someone would drink more than one at your bar for an event that is giving you great publicity.
"If you go to the back door there is an alley where people are peeing and no one will say anything to you." That's what was said to us. We didn't even get to the door of the back alley. An off the clock employee said she knew people were going back there and it wasn't allowed and we didn't do it. There was someone who did go out the back door but I have no idea who that is- and yes, that's how badly they had to pee. So clearly we weren't the only ones. But then the bar manager proceeded to make a scene to the point where a good portion of people looked over to see what was going on as she slammed the door. I get being frustrated, but all she had to do, as you stated, is calmly ask them to leave or tell them why that isn't allowed.
I had multiple conversations with many different people there that were all upset/annoyed about the bathroom issue (without me even bringing it up). You guys are more upset about a bad review and want to call it "false" because it was handled unprofessionally. If one bad review bothers you that much, maybe take your own advice. As I had told you, if the rule was calmly explained (which it wasn't) then the whole situation could have been diffused and I would have gladly corrected my review to say it was a miscommunication on my end. You guys chose to continue - I guess that's being an adult though?
As I said in my Instagram message, thank you for the lovely...
   Read moreWe went to Odd Birds last night for a cocktail before dinner at Llama. It was our third time partaking in their delicious libations. They have four distinct areas to enjoy including a nice patio, a main bar with garage door type windows that provide indoor/outdoor vibes to the patio, a dining area and a speak easy! The decor is, er, odd? But I mean that in a good way. It is far from generic or sterile and is quite comfortable.
We were in the speak easy last night and it was so much fun! There is a shelf that is actually a door. It includes a separate bar and lots of seating. Picture is attached.
St Augustine has an underrated craft cocktail scene and Odd Birds is amongst the very best. One of the best items on the menu is the bartenderâs choice. You name your spirit of choice and the bartender will ask you a question or two. Then you let the expert work his/her craft! I chose gin (itâs what the hipsters drink!) and asked for it to be refreshing. It was so good..had a hint of ginger. My wife had Selva Madre which tasted a bit like Christmas and was served in a kitschy Christmas glass. She loved it.
We have not had their food yet but we peaked at other patronâs dishes and it looked good. We plan to eat there in the future. I highly recommend Odd Birds as a place to add to your date night rotation!
Just wanted to update my review. We went to Odd Birds again last night for a couple of drinks. They updated their speakeasy experience. You need to make reservations to get inâŚand getting in is so much fun! The hostess takes you to a secret door. Once inside, it is bartenderâs call. Our bartender (I believe his name is Chris) came over and sat with us to ask us a series of questions. He came back with the most amazing cocktails for our party of 4. When you factor in ambiance, service and taste, I currently believe Oddbirds is the best bar in St Aug. this is saying a lot as there are multiple great places in St Aug. cheers to...
   Read moreI don't like giving bad reviews đ specially when I read another one where the person who responded is sarcastic. But I will do anyway. We were looking for a place to eat and this place looks amazing! The host was not nice at all, and we saw another group leaving. We want to eat there, the girl said that the wait time for outside will be 30 minutes. We agreed, but we saw a few table empties, and some still have plates. We went inside to use the restroom and for our surprise, insede were some empty tables too. When we asked her about the tables, she said they were "reserved." We wait about 15 minutes or more, and the tables were still dirty. We told the host about one of the tables, and she said she would do it. After a few mins, she decided to start cleaning, and another 2 serves came too. Our server did not introduce herself, and I guess she was tired already o heard when we asked for the table, I really don't know, but she looked like she was annoyed. We ordered a coke and a Mojito. When she came with the drinks, we were ready to order. We ordered the parrida for two. Again, the girl looked annoyed. I have to say that the taste of the foot was really good, but for the price, the quantity for 2 was small. Even though and sure the quality is one of the best, I still think it is overpriced. I asked for a side of chinichurri, and the girl never told us that it would be an extra charge for this. When we asked for the check, what a surprise đŽ $1 extra for a 2oz of chimichurri. And you said it's just one dollar. But I think that after buying a $55 plater, this extra side shouldn't be charged. By the way, the sausage in the dish was...
