The Bluebird Wine Bar & Bistro Restaurant Review

: Wine, and the food that pairs well with it, is about as approachable as it gets at this Wicker Park hot-spot from the folks behind Webster’s Wine Bar. The beer list is every bit as good. The setting is distressed and industrial with a cozy-chic bar and tables fashioned from recycled materials, warehouse-like fixtures and exposed brick walls. Belly up and design your own charcuterie; we especially like the smoky duck breast paired with nutty Mahón D.O. Mussels come in a few varieties, including a southern French take with white wine, fennel, leek, tomato, chile and herbs de Provence. “Plates” are slightly more substantial (pan-seared Atlantic salmon with black lentils and shallots). As for vinos, the prices are affordable, the selection vast (over 100 by the bottle and many by the glass), and the descriptors on the menu both enlightening and fun.
