The Birdcage was created as the ultimate ode to Bermudian cocktail culture while honoring our local flavors, the environment and Bermuda’s unique history. We love and respect our island and draw inspiration from everything around us from fresh natural ingredients to our namesake landmark (just look out on Front Street!). The Birdcage was created in the 1962 by Bermuda’s first city engineer, Geoffrey 'Dickie' Bird, who constructed “the cage” to protect policemen directing traffic. Like the Birdcage itself, we are interested in protecting nature and our people, keeping it simple, all while having a lot of fun with good vibes only. With that in mind, we welcome you to The Birdcage!

Good vibe, beautiful views, excellent service. No food or snacks (popcorn machine not working). Vinyl record DJ was great but only played reggae while we were there. Nice variety of drink but very expensive. Strict booking policy meant we had to drop two ppl from our reservation as they could not be there at the exact booking time. Latest booking 6pm, minimum 4 ppl.

Myself and my party had drinks. We stayed for a hr or 2 for a meeting! There was a fairly large group that walked in. And I figured they had reservations. There was a young waitress that came over and said hi ladies we have a group that came in are you pretty much done with your table. We said no. She said well are you drinking! We said YES! And then she walks away. I was blown away. Because why do we need to drink in order to retain our reservation. The waitress was completely out of line and it kind of made it seem very unwelcoming.
Business Response:
Hi Shakira, We have asked staff to politely ask for tables back once guests have finished thier drinks to make room for new guests. This is especially needed on our busiest days and times (like after 5pm on a Wednesday during Harbour Nights when we have a dj or live music on a Thursday). This entertainment costs us money and as we are a seasonal business with limited seating and can only open in good weather, we want to allow room for guests that want to spend money so that our business can succeed and staff can earn a living. Covid was especially difficult for our industry and staff and this season has had 5 weeks of constant rain where we have had many days that we could not open, so we appreciate your understanding with this and maybe you will see that there is a better time or, better yet, better place to host a meeting. This is common practice in many parts of the world but we will work better to communicate this to guests going forward so that it does not come off unwelcoming. Thank you for your business and we look forward to hosting you again.- Overall: 7/10

The swizzle was not good, didn’t look or taste like a swizzle
The margarita tasted like mixer only, no liquor. Stop pre mixing/making large batches of your drinks. Came last summer and the drinks were great, what happened this year??
