Birdcage sits on Memorial Drive in Grant Park, part of a small group that also runs Firepit Pizza Tavern. The kitchen works a Latin-inspired menu: Sofrito Squash with pumpkin seeds and microgreens, Black Bean Croquettes, Sweet Potato Bravas, Red Chicken Tacos, and Citrus Adobo Chicken served with rice, beans, and pickled red onion, alongside a Southwestern Kale Salad, a Chopped Tostada Salad, and a Shrimp Cocktail.
The bar runs its own program of diverse and whimsical cocktails — rotating riffs built on spiced and coconut rum, tequila, prickly pear liqueur, bourbon, and amaretto, with a non-alcoholic option in the mix too. Regulars have singled out the black bean croquettes and the chicken tacos, and the room has developed a following for its presentation and vibrant plating.
The Infatuation scored Birdcage 8.1 out of 10.
