The concept is great but just failed in execution. Shared space with other diners which is fine just offered no privacy if you were on date night or trying to have a conversation with someone.. maybe smaller chais and individual little fire pits spread out a bit would have worked betterthe music was great.wished he could have gone for longer. Thought the prices for the Aviary Apres menu ($20 for mulled wine) were a little bit steep..even if you got to keep your little tin camping cup..luckily the normal happy hour prices were still going in the main bar. Didn't order any food as was a bit dissapointed in the atmosphere and awkward vibe. Server didn't really appear to know what was happening. Ran from 4pm to 6pm with many leaving by 6.30 once the music stopped.

Thanks for your thoughtful feedback, Alecia – we really appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. We're glad you enjoyed the music and the happy hour offerings, but we're sorry to hear the atmosphere didn’t quite hit the mark for you this time. Your suggestions around seating layout and firepit placement are genuinely helpful and will be shared with the team as we continue to refine the Aviary Après concept. We’re always aiming to create a space that feels both fun and comfortable, so thank you again for your honest review – we hope you’ll consider giving us another go soon.

We had pizza and cocktails which were good value for what we paid. However a fair amount of the pizza bases were burnt around the edges. The noise level in the venue was very loud - maybe ok for 20 year old patrons but unfortunately we are a little older and found normal conversation not possible. Seating not particularly comfortable- offered high backless stools or low relaxing type chairs.

Hi Pamela, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We're glad to hear you enjoyed the value of our pizzas and cocktails, but we're sorry to hear some elements didn’t quite hit the mark. We appreciate your feedback around the pizza bases, seating, and noise levels — it’s helpful and will be shared with the team as we look to create a more enjoyable experience for everyone. We hope to welcome you back again soon and provide a visit that’s more in line with your expectations. Warm regards, The Aviary Rooftop Bar Team

It is a fabulous venue which had a good vibe with live music and then a DJ. Food was great. Drinks were lovely, delicious cocktails and wine. A fun night. Staff were friendly and accommodating. A little mix up with our order was quickly rectified and improved. Good covered and completely open spaces so it didn't matter that it was raining. We'll be back.
