The Bluebird

This beer-focused tavern didn’t intend to be such a food destination, but the eats here are taking center stage. Tempting small plates such as almond-stuffed olives, grilled baby octopus and harissa-spiced wings are tough to choose from, so don’t—spend the evening grazing while sampling through the vast beer list. Don’t know good suds from duds? The staff is pretty well versed, and even when they’re slammed on weekend nights, they tend to field questions or offer up suggestions.
