Is it bad that I want to gate keep this place? The Mockingbird, (formally known as The Dirty Bird)…read morehas been on my radar for a while now. Beautifully updated, this bar has slowly became one of my favorite hidden gems in downtown SR. The bartenders are always so professional, friendly and attentive. I love the signature and seasonal drinks they offer, always creative and heavyyyy (no complaints). Since the place just reopened recently, it's still on the quieter side, not overcrowded and not loud making it easier to socialize compared to other bars in the area. There's board games and a pool table which adds to the laid back social vibe. We've been in a few times and always end up staying longer than expected lol. 100/10 this upscale bar is a perfect little hideout.

When the fries were brought out the waitress didn't bring napkins or utensils. The utensils I could care less for but eating finger food without having a napkin isn't what I like to do. She left before I realized we didn't have utensils. It was about 5 minutes before another waiter at another table came close enough for me to ask for utensils. The ambiance is always great here. It can be packed and you can still have a conversation with someone. The decor is cigar room classy. Still one of my favorite spots.

Our most recent trip was a few weeks ago. They were great to let us get orders in with minutes left before 5.

Our total with drinks (6), mussels and fries, flatbread, asparagus salad, tuna tartare was $180 for the 3 of us. Felt pricey, but I guess it's not surprising considering where we were. Drinks were delicious! Service was great overall, no hovering but attentive enough to not feel forgotten.

The tuna poke was incredibly fresh with the perfect amount of crunch from the taro chips. Since I was working, I went with a refreshing mocktail and it did not disappoint. Dom was super nice and helpful, and the portions were great too -- definitely enough to take leftovers home. If you're in the area, make sure to stop by. You will not be disappointed!

My Favorite Local Dive Bar…read more This spot is hands-down my favorite local dive bar. The drink prices are super reasonable, and the bartenders are not only friendly--they make you feel right at home. Michelle is my go-to bartender (she's the best!), but I also love Candace and Edie--they're all amazing and bring great vibes every time. During the day, it's mostly a crowd of regulars, which gives the place a laid-back, welcoming feel. But you'll still see some out-of-towners passing through. On weekend nights, the energy shifts to a younger, more lively crowd--especially when the jukebox is going and everyone's playing their favorite bangers. If you're looking for a chill spot with great value, good drinks, and genuinely cool people who are just there to have a good time, I highly recommend this place. Bonus: it's clean, which is a big deal for a dive bar--not like some of those sketchier, grimy spots around town.
