From the Bar

🍹Cocktails at Red Bird!

Beer might be our claim to fame, but our cocktails are just as crave-worthy. Whether you’re into bold, refreshing, or a little fruity, we’ve got the perfect summer drink waiting for you.

From zesty caesars to spicy margaritas and refreshing sangrias, we’ve got all the summer favourites covered, and then some.

From the Kitchen

🥒Pickle Lovers… This One’s for You!

The Dill-icious Pickle is a fan favourite for a reason. Creamy, tangy, a little spicy, and loaded with bold flavour. It’s the perfect summery pizza for anyone who loves a briny twist on a classic slice.
