Law Bird makes incredible drinks. They rotate their menu every few months. The current theme is Breakfast and they've got sections of drinks that mirror the various "heaviness" of breakfast meals.
The menu is creative and the drinks are inspired. They bring together a number of ingredients you might not think would work in concert but they do & you end up being so impressed.
My only complaint is how loud they play their music. It's very hard to hear, you have to shout to talk... It'd be nice for the vibe to be conducive to conversation!

I find it very disappointing that the fun wallpaper in the bathroom is only on one accent wall. What is the point in investing in fun wallpaper if you are not going to follow through! GET THAT BANANA COAT HANGER, buy that purple neon sign! Something, ANYTHING to turn the vibe up to an 11. The blank white walls really ruined my vibe

Maybe they were light on bartenders tonight. We did not wait for a table but took about 15-20 min after ordering for our first drink. Not that I am dinging them on this but they had the door open in the middle of August with the AC off so waiting longer then what I was expecting for our drinks compounded my concern. Feels like a spot locals like just because, but not being a local a 4.7 rating is a big stretch for me. Around 4 would be more fitting in my opinion assuming I caught them on a bad night (Saturday.....)
