About The Dirty Onion and Yardbird

A traditional-looking pub with a modern edge, The Dirty Onion and Yardbird runs across two floors in St George's Market — the bar downstairs pulling in the crowds for live music that barely stops, the Yardbird restaurant upstairs doing the serious eating. The kitchen's reputation rests on the ribs, tender enough that reviewers pass the recommendation on without hesitation, and the rotisserie chicken, which keeps drawing people back; the ranch salad has been getting its own mentions lately, and the spice bag wings are the kind of thing people rank against the best they've had anywhere. When something goes wrong, the team fixes it properly — that comes up more than once. The Jameson barrel sculpture marks out the beer garden, and the Guinness pours well.

The Dirty Onion and Yardbird is the neighbourhood spot done right — unhurried, unpretentious, with a wine list that gives it an edge over most of its category.

In the last 90 days, The Dirty Onion and Yardbird has drawn 32 substantial written reviews (50+ characters of genuine feedback) — recent momentum that is one of the signals behind its place on the hot list.
