Blokes and Birds Opens Tomorrow

By Anthony Todd in Food on Nov 1, 2010 7:00PM

2010_11_1_blokes_birds.jpg Blokes and Birds, a new English gastropub in Lakeview, opens tomorrow after months and months of anticipation. The menu will focus on English and American comfort foods, with a lot of classics like Sheppard's Pie (with lamb shoulder braised in stout for 14 hours), Fish and Chips and Warm Marmalade Pudding. The bar will stock over 70 varieties of imported beer, and for all you music fans, will host a dedicated English Rock night every week. Entrees are well-priced in the $10-$18 range - we're excited to try the Bloke's Burger, with 4 year old cheddar, drambuie onions, malt vinegar aioli & lettuce. The craft cocktail list looks impressive, and none of the drinks top $12.

Blokes and Birds is located at 3343 North Clark Street.
