Bluebird Tavern/Bluebird Barbecue
Since 2009, the Bluebird Tavern has been serving food and drink in downtown Burlington with ingredients sourced from Vermont and New England farmers and producers. In 2012, Bluebird Barbecue opened to serve “real deal barbecue” on Riverside Avenue. Bluebird’s support of Art Map Burlington and First Friday Art Walk is part of their philosophy of strengthening and serving their community. They do so “mostly because we are a creative bunch loaded with ideas and we are also because we are fueled by gallons of coffee.” www.bluebirdvermont.com and www.bluebirdbbq.com
