Over the past few years, we’ve tried to create experiences at BYRDI that reflect a sense of time and place — drinks, food and moments that could only really exist here, and only for a short while.

From June 1, BYRDI will evolve into something new.

For a limited time, BYRDI becomes EPHEMERA.

A transient wine bar and kitchen built around what exists right now.

Wine-led. Snack-driven. ten cocktails, rewritten weekly.

EPHEMERA is our way of embracing impermanence. The menus will change constantly with the seasons, the market and our own curiosity. Some drinks may only exist for a week. Some dishes may disappear overnight. We want to create a space that feels alive and responsive to the moment.

While the format may change, the philosophy remains the same: thoughtful hospitality, seasonality and creating experiences that feel connected to this place and this time.

We’re incredibly excited to share this next chapter with you.

Launching June 1.

Walk-ins only.
No reservations.
Open 7 days from 5pm.

Nothing here is intended to last.
Everything here is intended to matter.
