"Whether you’re an actor or a friend of an actor who makes you come see their improv shows, you’re going to end up at Birds at some point. Located in Franklin Village, Birds is basically next door to UCB and the unofficial pregame for people who can’t see Harold Nights sober. And the chicken-oriented menu (get it?) is actually way better than you would think. This place is fun, rowdy, and most importantly for everyone on this block, affordable." - jess basser sanders, brant cox
