The Bird Pub

Themed Cocktail Bar/ Pub In Victoria, BC

Founded in March of 1991, the Bird of Paradise Pub is situated in South Saanich in a 1914 built farm house located at 4291 Glanford Ave. The old farm house was renovated to accommodate the Pub and later the Bird Liquor Store. The Bird of Paradise was a theme Pub with it's decor reflecting the colors and textures of the American Southwest. It was also home to some giant cactus and other exotic greenery. There was also a 400 gallon marine aquarium featured within the Pub. The Pub was located on the main floor of the the old farm house and the lower level was home to the Bird Liquor Store and Goodfellas Cigar Shop.

For 22 years the Bird of Paradise occupied the main floor of the old farm house and enjoyed great business success. As time went on though, it became apparent that the area being used by the Pub was too large and no longer sustainable. On the other hand, the Bird Liquor Store space was too small and the Liquor Store desperately needed to grow.
