Birdie’s Eastside, a new patio-driven bar and grill in East Dallas, is set to open its doors to the public next week on Wednesday, Dec. 13.

The patio and the indoor dining space are connected by a “resort style” indoor/outdoor bar, which offers a wide array of refreshing beverages such as local and domestic beer, wine, seltzers, cocktails and more.
