Had a great time at Birdies! Kayla is my favorite bartender and goes above and beyond to make me fantastic drinks, even if they arent on the menu. Thankful karaoke has been going on Wednesdays, always so much fun. Doesnt have the same crowded feel since it reopened after Covid quarantine. Definitely love the new vibe and management!

Cody has taken this place from an overrated 3 to a five star joint in months. During the pandemic, no less.I live nearby and it is officially my new not-quite-on-the-corner bar. Best drinks Ive had in a while, and I was well trained and make some damn good ones at home...

Nice chill spot. Pool table in the back. And cool patio. Drinks are strong and tasty.

Awesome little spot for drinks and good music. The bartenders are so fast and friendly!

Wasn’t impressed with the cleanliness. Friday night, wasn’t busy at all and place could have used some tender loving care. Restroom smelled like vinegar and there were small flies all over. Bartender was very nice and drinks were great and reasonably priced. The shopping around the establishment closes really early (6pm).

Nice place, Id come back with some friends

Looking forward to coming back with my friends. the place has a nice feel to it. menu is like a cafe in boston i loved.

Cant wait to go back!! Loved the drinks and atmosphere...Definitely a good time!

Love the new vibe and Geion is a doll and the reason we love going

Very cool place to hang, have a drink, and dance.

Great atmosphere! Friendly and engaging crowd!We love coming!!!

Great atmosphere great bartenders and great booze 10/10 would recommend

Great staff, good service, clean place .

What a wonderful atmosphere, great prices and management

Unique place. Its about a 50/50 Straight and Gay bar and everyone always seems to get along. 2 pool tables you can get on earlier in the night. Great walking area. Good music

My name is George Anton, Im a stand-up comedian at the Comedy Store on Sunset Blvd. and this is just a great BAR!@!! i dont drink alcohol, my friends do i just smoke weed

Friendly staff & Chill vibe.

This was the best place weve found since moving to the area. It had a nice independent, eclectic vibe. The crowd was quite diverse. It felt like a public house party; lots of grooving. I was told the crowd can vary nightly since it was our first time there. There was no cover and the have a DJ every night. There were a couple of pool tables and fun mosaic pieces on the patio and porch. We are already planning checking out another night.

Music was tasteless, security guard was too thorough especially if you have ladies with you. You will have to stand as there is barely any seating. We went in early and out soon after so I dont know if it gets better later.

Excellent Staff! Quick bar service, fun environment! And bathrooms were decent too! Even has a pool table! absolutely coming back! Music was a vibe ~

Ill drive from the beaches to have a drink here.

I was there for pride and kept an open time every time I ordered a drink my car got authorized so I showed a charge for a $150 a reversal for a $150 a charge for $50 a reversal for a $150 this went on 10 times and my bank declined my card when my card was declined and my husbands card declined the bartender went and got this big black man that came up to the bar and kept saying what are you gonna do now what are you gonna do now finally we contacted our bank and they authorize the transaction I just think this could have been handled much better then the way it was handled not sure well ever be back

Birdies was okay. They have a heavy pour on the alcohol, yummy! They have one pool table. Mainly standing room. They do have a few high tables and chairs on the front patio. Staff was very friendly.

Whitney is extremely rude i was sitting at the bar asked her for a drink she rolled her eyes and said wait a sec I replied okay i turned to my friend an said I didnt even hear what she said then she said wait a sec rudely I replied i wasnt trying to be rude this was met with disrespectful comments like have someone else make your drink from Whitney i did not get loud or do anything wrong all of a sudden im being asked to leave because their employee was rude to me

MY FAVORITE SPOT..... Big shout out to Burks for always making sure everyone has a Blast.......!

Love Birdies. Diverse crowd, always a good time!

Oh my their drinks are DELICIOUS! Especially the lavender green tea one. Mmmm!The back area is really nice too.The gate is sketchy though as some people sneak in through the back instead of walking through the front where ID is checked. Might be worth it to have an employee there to prevent underaged drinkers.

Friday nights has a new DJ and he is amazing!

Fun time

Used to love it! The place is turning into a club vibe now with the rules and entry fee. Needs to have an expansion if that’s the plan.

Used to be a really nice place where you can hear a variety of music of very nice mixed crowd I felt like a vanilla cream in a Oreo situation where it was only hip-hop and they were not play a variety of music I will never go back there anymore As I was walking to my car are young man came up and threaten my life and stole my purse

This was a great night. The DJ was cool no extra sound effects like other djs and let them play for more than 2 minutes before thing you another song. The drinks strong and not too pricy. The place got packed around midnight. Will definitely return when bar hopping in Riverside.

Birdies is a great place to go for a cheap drink and some music

This bar doesn’t look like much but Tequila Tuesday did not disappoint! The drink we had was different but it did the job!!

Nice spot. Mixed crowd (black/white, young/old). Staff is friendly. Be sure to bring cash because theres a cover charge.

Love this place... Always a fun time chillin with friends... Cool spot...

Im so upset

Great place full of fun people and quick friendly bar tenders. Once a month near the end of the week on Fridays JACKS NIGHT. A gay mens happy hour usually from 6-9Have a fun time meeting new people. 2 pool pay pool tables and small dance floor also covered patio.

I had a good time. I didnt understand the line that did not move for 20 minutes... when I got I side, the whole back room was half empty. Yet, I had a fun time. The DJ was on point. The bartenders watered down the drinks, but that was no surprise... $5 cover was new to me!!

Bartenders were absolutely phenomenal! Music was outstanding. Great time with la familia! Will definitely go back again! Thanks for such awesome memories, guys!

I love this place. Great atmosphere, great staff, beautiful people that hang out & enjoy themselves with no conflict. plus the music is always on point

This was second time going and I won’t be back. They let anyone in there and 85% of the people come to dance and basically participate in an alcohol free house party. This is why there are covers, to keep money in your pocket no matter what people do in your bar and to keep “free riders” out. Also, was hotter than blazes inside. I would only go back to use it as a sauna . They play great new and early 2000s rap music which is why I’m giving it 2 stars .

Basic bar with very good DJs and staff. Place gets very crowded and is too hot. I think Birdies would be much better if it had a cover charge for men ($5).

Always a fun time. Great prices. Fun atmosphere. Standing room only. A few pool tables

My first time going to a place like this and I had the best night of my life. The music was live, the drinks were good, and the people were lit. I would definitely do it again.

Ive loved this place for years! Strong drinks!

From Gainesville area first time visiting birdies, the crowd was good. The only thing that could use Improvement would be the bar. The line was super long.

Amazing place to hang out, should be a place to visit if your visiting or just hanging out.

Fabulous as always! Fantastic service, clean bar (& bathrooms), friendly, happy crowd. Busy & popular but not too packed. Pool tables in back, outdoor tables in front. **Bonus if youre a scotch drinker like myself** they serve Johnnie Walker Gold... I love my Johnny Green but I must say that the Gold was oh so smooth I dont know if they have it every day but they did on Valentines day.

Fun bar. 5 dollar cover fee on a Friday

I used to love this place until they turned it into a night club kinda bar with entry fees. No thanks.

Awesome place to be on the weekends!.. Great music great drinks! Come pop out with us!

Fun.. Not as many people as the Loft on King Street... Good mix of music

A staple in Jacksonville -and most definitely in Riverside. No two nights are the same, as far as crowd / music goes. Inexpensive drinks and the only place people dance in 5 Points. Gets insanely crowded Fri / Sat night, so if youre looking for a party meet-up, its a good place to start / end.

A bit crowded at the bar. Great music. Diversity excellent. Getting a drink if you can get to bar. Friday crowd, differs from Saturdays group.

The place is lit!! Great drinks good music!!

Service is always prompt and drinks always taste great. Prices arent bad (at least for margaritas - it ranges from $4 to $5 depending on the hour). The other customers are usually swell too. Ive had strangers join our table before and carried on great conversation, and Ive left my phone in the bathroom before - it got promptly turned into the bar, which I was grateful for. Bathroom has neat decor and is always clean in my experience.

Crowded and hot. Sometimes they charge a cover and sometimes they don’t. It’s a guessing game until you get to the door. Drinks aren’t very good and they charge more than anyone else in the area. Well rum and coke cost me 6$

Nice place but not much going on

Cheap drinks quick service! On the weekend really good music and DJ. Have a pool table as well

Nice hangout spot. Bathrooms need to be checked more often

Favorite bar in Jacksonville by far, its in a great location close to a movie theater, great food and two parks. It has such a fun and unique atmosphere and if youre looking for a place to meet really friendly folks this is a good place to start! I really think its the sort of bar that emcompasses what Jacksonvilles scene is about and the people here reflect that. The staff is great too and the drinks are decently priced!

Looks cool .....didnt go in. Was too busy doin Social Recon

The bouncer they have standing out front is larger than the outdoor patio. Once you can squeeze through the entrance you walk into a sardine can of a dance floor. Beware of all of the bearded hipsters and trashy women.

Good vibes good music!

There was such a bad vibe. Too many fights happening.

Pretty cool eclectic looking place. Has a little bit of something for everybody. Good beers on tap and good liquors for decent prices. Good vibes and good staff. Sucks that you cant smoke or vape on the outdoor pateo any more but I get it.

Great local bar in heart of 5 points in riverside. Great staff. Good for dancing the night away. Smoking on patio only. Dont forget to tip the great bar tenders.

Great late night stop!

They treated us like family and with respect of the LGBTQ family. LOVE Jack night

If you want to drink with no drama, go here.

Great place, inexpensive drinks, and also very friendly bartenders.

Fun, casual place to mingle.

This place gets busy on the weekends, but not a great place to have a good time

Good music but too crowded

Cozy little bar in the heart of 5points.

Birdies is my favorite spot in Charlston. Its so much fun! The big screen playing vintage films overhead the dancefloor enhances the scene so much, and the DJ knows just what to play, and requests never take too long. The drink specials are on point, the outside deck garners a lot of chance-conversation while still offering space, and the layout is just great all around. The crowd it brings in is preferable to most that are similarly geared towards college-age.

Cheap beers, good music, quick service. For such a busy bar, it’s kept pretty clean. LOVE that they don’t allow smoking inside! Huge plus.

Nice place, not overly expensive, but only one pool table.

My boyfriend introduced me to this bar and each time we come i always have a great time. I love its only $1 to play pool and its a great way to make customers stay and continue to buy drinks. We always do..lol. I will say i wish the place was larger with more pool tables but will continue to enjoy Birdies with my family and friends.

OMG Birdies was lit. I had such a great time shout out to the DJ and they had some amazing bartenders.

Good drinks. Nice place. Way crowded Saturday nights. Go there around evening and leave once the crowd starts pouring in.

Its a nice bar thats open late, good drink selection, I just wish you could smoke on the patio instead of having to walk out like a shameful smoker. But the staff is very friendly the drinks are reasonably priced and like I said they are one of the bars that are open late

Vibes on point definitely

Best priced drinks in 5 Points. Music/DJ depends on day of the week. I prefer Fridays because the DJ plays some old school music. Fridays and Saturdays are more of a club environment than bar. There are a couple of pool tables in the back.

Had a great time. Very eclectic crowd. Cheap drinks!!!

Always packed on the weekends. Im a long time riversider, and this is a go to spot for sue.

Theyre rules change every week. SMH....never goin back

Best place in Jville to have fun and not get into a fight or fuss

Crowded and small bathroom. Decent hip hop music on Saturday nights, but the club/bar is small.

Cool bar though it wasnt very busy when we went.

One of the best club/bar scenes in Jax if you ask me not for sure about how it does on Saturday but Friday was litttyyyy definitely will be going back

Great place to go for a drink or beer & dance or shot pool. Kat always get ur order out fast & accurate. Try it out.

Great music, great vibe Great bartending ! But I almost had a HEAT stroke ... It is summer yall need a commercial fan POINT BLANK PERIOD! Every other compaint I hear in the womens br Its soooooo hot in here !!!

Relaxed atmosphere two pool tables ... nice paintings on the wall great time

BIRDIES!!!! 5stars! I have been a frequenter of this establishment since 2014 and I have not written a review until now. I have been on a Thursday night, Friday nights and Saturdays. Back in the day, it was a cool eclectic place with the guests being the main reason I went. I recently visited Birdies this past Friday night after a comedy show (look for my review of The Comedy Zone) and it was PACKED! I do not know if its a good thing for people like me who like small intimate places to sit/talk and perhaps play a game of pool or two and DANCE! Also, I noticed that the caliber of person had changed as most were in their 20s. As I am old enough to be these guests mother, I could have easily felt out of place. However, I enjoyed myself by stifling my judgement as an ageist. The same DJ playing a variety of great music from the decades, great staff and a feeling of safety had not changed. When you are in the Duval area and wish to check out a place with no cover (21+ people), this is the spot for you. They even serve FREE water in a cooler by the restrooms in the back. Yes, it is wheelchair accessible and parking has never been an issue for me. I always seem to find a spot nearby. The BEST part? Guiness on TAP!

Music could be better... more hip hop

Cheap drinks, good mix of people, not a big dancer but had to bust a move and enjoy the moment.

Classical games really caught my attention here. The food was great so is the staffs for putting excellent service.

Love shaking my butt here!
