Completely down hill. This used to be one of my favorite places to drink. Close to home and great people and drinks. First night back in a year. I asked for a drink and Jeremy and Jay literally said “I don’t want to make that but I will”. Are you kidding me? We stayed to hang out and then the put on some very hard core screamo music. I know everyone has their taste but maybe play something most people will enjoy. We left honestly because of that.

Love the seabird because you always know your getting a well made drink in a classy environment. My friend asked for a cocktail and Jeremy complained that it was going to take awhile to make. If you don't want to make a cocktail then maybe don't be a bartender? I can understand if they were busy, but we were the only ones there. Drinks were decent but have had better ones at Seabird with much friendlier service. Even another couple that asked for mules were told to order something different even though a mule is what they clearly wanted. It really took a turn once the bartender's friend showed up and they all bonded by playing screamo music on the speakers. Not exactly a much liked genere and I am sure the other customers would agree that was the wrong place for it. I come to seabird for the excellent hospitality. Hopefully Jeremy and Jay figure out that hospitality is less about themselves and more about the experience of their patrons. Sad way to end a night out for our friend's birthday.

My friend and I came in around 12:30am, but these guys were kind enough to allow us to come in for one drink! I have never entered a bar that felt so welcoming before. What I love is that this feels more intimate, you get to know your bartenders. The environment was really nice. We had Samy as our bartender -- hands down one of the best ones I've come across! We'll be back. :)

The atmosphere at Seabird is a chill, relaxing, and mature place with a great selection of fine whiskeys and cocktails. Show up early and ask Kelly the bartender to play Chess! A one of a kind place with great staff and community. 100% recommend.

Seabird gateway is definitely a fav of mine, the atmosphere is perfectly casual and quaint, while also feeling high end. Kelley is my favorite bar tender, she always has great suggestions and makes a killer cocktail + always fun to be around.

Came here on NYE with some friends. Had an amazing time, drinks were fantastic

Just wow. This is the best place to drink at the gateway by far. The atmosphere was beautiful, our bartender Samy was so sweet and attentive it felt like hanging out at home. We got a charcuterie board that had the best cheeses on it. I will be going here way more often.

Seabird! I'm a fan. The staff is incredible the drinks are incredible the music is incredible.They have a good menu and a large variety of alcohol which means if its not on the menu they can probably make it. I had the Pain Killer and Lemonade both were great, finished with a sour beer. For being a small spot they have great beer options. Sam and Kelley were my bar tenders and they were top notch in their humanity knowledge and service.

Not a listening bar, just a bar for good drinks, but that's about it. A lot of rhetoric from bartenders; not very attentive to us or the music. Vinyl up on shelves for looks. They were playing an I pod until I asked if they would play the vinyl sitting next to us. Sound system was barely audible. This is not a listening bar, don't go if this is what you expect. Bartenders not very knowledgeable about playing music. Maybe get some selectors on weekends so they can focus on music and the bartenders can focus on what they're good at.

Cant stop thinking about their peanut butter stout ! Very intimate setting so not ideal for a group. At the time that we went their menu was very small and limiting which I didn’t care for (the 2 drinks I had were very good though! ) but it seems like they have added more since then. Staff was very friendly. We sat outside so we had to grab their attention whenever we wanted another drink . Very odd they don’t have their own bathroom
