    Bird of Paradise
    Nina Z.

    My new fave karaoke spot in the East Bay. They have karaoke every Wednesday and every time I've gone so far, it draws a diverse crowd, talented singers, and everyone is so welcoming. There's definitely a sense of community here. Bartender is always patient with me and greets me with a smile and the cocktails are strong. Note to self: will have to stick with one drink in the future. I love everything about this place!

    I've had nothing but positive experiences here. The newly added Speakeasy (Paradise Lounge) offers a slightly more intimate/upscale venue. We arrived on a Friday evening. Had drinks and appetizers upstairs. Pours were generous. Happy hour menu is commendable. Try the Margarita or Moscow Mule for a way to kick start your occasion. DJ began spinning around 8PM at the speakeasy. People began trickling in as the night progressed. Pool tables available for added fun! There's a dining area in the speakeasy that appears to be available for private events like birthday parties. One thing to note is the heavy amount of security staff. They were mostly friendly throughout our visit. That's a huge plus. Anything I've ever tried on their food menu has been great. Food orders are taken at a kiosk near the rear.

    Always a good time at the Dirty Bird, I'm almost 40 and I've been coming here since I was in college, still checks out. These days I may meet a date or friend for a weeknight night cap and wings and this place is just my speed. There's always parking, the drinks are stiff and affordable. The atmosphere is awesome, especially warm nights on the patio. Wings are bomb. You can't go wrong with the wings.

    I'll keep this simple, this place is good vibes, good music, and solid food. This place has everything you would want in a club/bar. Definitely a Hayward staple. R&B, hip hop, and rap is the primary music being played which I love and they spice it up with reggaeton and reggae

    Súperrrrr good vibes at this place. The inside is very nice, clean, and full of comfy seating. Happy hour from 2pm-7pm is crazy and I'm here for it, plus actually good happy hour deals. They had some small bite options but I needed a bigger dinner, will be back again tho!

    The last time I was here was YEARS ago and had fond memories of being here It's now 2025 We literally came here to decompress and have some drinks Venue is clean and well decorated Bar is fully stocked You order food from a different window not at the bar Parking is street parking only Drinks are ok My margarita was super sour so I ordered a shot to calm it down Vibe is chill

    Customer service, vibe and drinks were outstanding. Me n' some friends decided to come through after coming from the show to see Sinners. The place was quiet enough inside at 5:30p on a Sunday, for us to actually hear each other as we conversed. We caught a very timely Happy Hour, the food was delicious and plentiful and the drinks were so on point! Also want to give high elevation to Jose(?), one of the owners of the cantina inside of TDB. We wasted our drinks, not once ... not twice ... but 3 times ... and each team he made sure that we were comped a replacement drink . He did this each time with a smile and seemed solely focused on our just having a good time! Thank you Jose/TDB ... we did ... and because of your superior customer service... we'll be coming back again ... and again!

    I enjoyed the experience as always when I visit dirty bird. But overall; I liked that the birria tacos were seasoned very well, and the food was very quick. In most cases the service here is very good. I will say the ambiance matches the food likewise. I have been visiting this lounge for a long time now, wonderful drinks and wonderful food. I also liked that I was not charged for consumé and salsa ;)

    We had parked in a parking lot and heard music, so we followed the music, and were delightfully surprised to find The Dirty Bird Lounge. The security guys invited us in, they explained there was a DJ in the back patio, and Bachata dancers. We were welcomed to come in. Lovely outdoor patio. We headed inside to order our drinks happy hour. $16 bucks for two Margaritas, our waitress made incredible drinks, and was very delightful to talk to. The inside has plenty of seating, and rustic funky decor. There is street parking and a parking lot on the side to the back. They had TVs on with the Giants and the 49ers.!!

    Came to the soft opening of the Dirty Bird of Paradise. It was very classy. The selection was top tier and the service was wonderful. Manager Brittany was very warm and welcoming. The lady at the door Sav was also so kind and welcoming. Overall a great time, with great vibes, great music, and tasty drinks. This is a great addition to the Hayward community.

    Ask the Community - The Dirty Bird Lounge

    Do they have a patio?

    Yes they do, it's behind the lounge.

    When do they have karaoke?

    Wednesday's

    What time does the kitchen close on sundays?

    What are their happy hours?

    It varies. Message them on IG: https://instagram.com/thedirtybirdlounge

    Is it 18+?

    You can go in and have some finger foods if you are under 21. But you can't order any alcoholic beverages.

    Do they accept Apple Pay?

    I believe so

    What time does the kitchen close?

    Midnight but they stop frying things at 11:30 so you can get non fried things up until 12

    Is this bar affiliated with Claude VonStroke & Dirty Bird Records?

    No it's not. This bar has been in Hayward CA for many years. They finally moved to downtown Hayward and have a wonderful full kitchen that makes really good food.

    No, but they do have Karaoke on Wednesday nights. If you're looking for pool in downtown Hayward there's Chalk It Up on Foothill that has several tables. The Stein Room has one.

They were about 10-15 other guests but the places so big and spacious that it almost felt like we had a place to ourselves. There's a spot for a DJ/music and I can only imagine that they have some great shows here. The bartender was attentive, and while they weren't very personable you could tell that they knew several of the regulars. I didn't drink anything fancy, bourbon neat, but it was a fair pour. You order food separately. We are fish tacos, wings & nachos. The fish was fried and coleslaw had a touch of mayonnaise but not too much. This was my favorite dish. The wings of the nachos or what you expect, definitely flavorful and cooked well. We liked the crowd and will definitely be back to listen to some music and check out the lounge downstairs.

Once you enter in the bar, go to the right, they'll give you a stamp on your hand, and then you can head downstairs. There are many lounge areas, and small tables & chairs to sit and drink at. There are also pool tables to use for free! There's also a DJ that plays GOOD r&b, hip hop, pop, and even some throwbacks too! The DJ that night took song requests and even gave a shoutout to the birthday girl in our group too. The cocktails were good, and I'm sad I didn't take pictures of it (had too much fun). The waitress will come to your table and you can order there OR you can also order at the bar. When I ordered at the bar, the waitress was so nice and helped me bring the drinks over to our table. I also had a taste of the fries, and the cups and guac and it was tasty too! There's some parking right infront or a parking lot behind the bar. I will definitely come back!

Table ordered a steak sandwich with salad, cheese sandwich with tomato soup and a five-spice pork ragu over polenta. We all enjoyed our dishes. Food is 3.5-4/5 stars and would like to see a bit more to keep it interesting but know their kitchen setup is limited. No wine with this visit. Dessert: Orange brownie was simple with orange zest and the Hawaiian bread pudding was different and flavorful. Good to see the place bustling and look forward to future rotating pop up events. Got a chance to talk to the owner, Stacey as I recognized her from the Eats by E event the week prior. My bad, didn't know she was the owner of Cordial Cellar & Lounge but all good as she was super welcoming, friendly and was very accommodating when asked if we could pay for our own dishes separately. At the end of the evening perused the Olive & Finn Boutique and quickly welcomed by Jackie who was explaining items like the handmade jewelry and some hand stitched clothing. Such cute items and will visit another time. Recommend Cordial Cellar & Lounge for a date night, special group outing or relax and listen to some music.

We saw a street parking as soon as we turn, and just parked even though it was 1000 ft away. The drink/cocktail list is vast, but we are not much of a cocktail drinker and not usually drink during lunch, but I saw Matcha Sharka being ordered a lot and the other seemingly popular drink was this lavender drink. If you are a cocktail drinker during lunch, do check them out. We ordered 4 shareable items: * Savoy Donuts - 5 stars - fluffy and yummy, not greasy at all * Focaccia w/ Meyer Lemon and Garlic Confit - 4.5 stars - wonderful texture, did not taste the garlic much but the lemon was really good add. * Grilled Beef and Pork Chipolata - 4 stars - I think the star was the dressing. The meat itself was just okay. * Rice Vermicelli Bowl - 4.5 stars - not sure why it is called a bowl when it was served more in a plate. This is the fusion take on the Vietnamese dish with different dressing. We selected the Galangal Pork, which I did not like as much compared to the usual Vietnamese ones with Lemon Grass. There is a choice to select Lemongrass chicken instead, so you might want to try that. The pork tasted "porky" despite it was thinly cut. I was hoping to try dessert, but we were full so we did not do that. Next time. The restaurant is nicely set, and you can select indoor or outdoor seating. We did make a reservation, but when we arrived there were plenty of tables available. Service was fine, we did not get the "is this your first time" greeting as I heard other tables got.
