Yellow Bird

Melbourne


Somewhere between Mexican kitsch and band-poster grunge, this little bird keeps Windsor’s cool kids happy with all-day drinks, breakfast and diner-style food. It's owned by the drummer from Something for Kate, so the rock ’n’ roll ambience is legit. Mingle with a passing cast of musos, listen to the playlist of underground bands and munch on burgers.

Bring the little ones during the day – there's a kids' menu.
