Bird
BIRD references the nickname of jazz legend Charlie ‘BIRD’ Parker. The venue, club and restaurant is deeply rooted in the jazz tradition but branches out towards soul, funk, hip-hop and electronica. This should be your Friday nightclub, your Wednesday jam session, and your restaurant for celebrations.
It’s the jazz venue with the best concerts in town. In short: BIRD is the place to be for all cultural omnivores.
