    RECENT REVIEW: BRUNCH 

    Scott A. on July 22, 2025


    Whiskey Bird may be one of the most universally beloved restaurants on North Highland.

    Anthony and Chad along with executive chef Joshua put together an exceptional mix of vibrant plates from all over the world.

    Unlike some other restaurants, you are not squeezed tight to achieve additional table count.

    The atmosphere is refreshing thanks to the friendly team and the artistry on the walls.

    The brunch menu rivals that of any in the city. Where to start?  That’s easy, okonomiyaki loaded Japanese street fries.

    From there, dig into the Frittata Yada-Yada or the Bao Benedict for a perfect Sunday morning brunch.

    In the summer, on a busy Sunday morning, the folks are clutching glasses of wine, waiting for their table and enjoying a lovely Sunday morning conversation. Have they dined at Whiskey Bird before? Yes. And they’ll be dining with Whiskey Bird again and again.

    Highly recommended

    Available every Friday, our lunch menu hits that perfect midday balance—fresh, filling, and full of flavor. We take our salads seriously, stacking them with fresh veggies, ingredients like avocado, sunflower seeds, and cotija cheese, and bold house-made dressings. You’ll get a taste of our popular brunch items too, but the chicken and bao (our spin on chicken and biscuits), the fried egg sammie, and the BLTA club with gochujang ranch are lunch menu exclusives.

    RECENT REVIEW: HAPPY HOUR

    Rebekah on July 21, 2025

    Happy hour cocktails were AMAZING!! The food was fresh and delicious. The service was perfect!

    On Taco Tuesdays, the menu revolves around crispy gyoza and flour tortilla tacos you won’t find anywhere else in Virginia Highland. And because no Taco Tuesday is complete without chips and queso, you’ll find that on the menu too—naturally—with a signature Whiskey Bird twist.
