Monday Munchies is supported by Botanica.
Over at 6444 N. Oracle Rd., the folks at Redbird Scratch Kitchen + Bar have been making some big moves. In just a little over a year, they’ve kept the menu interesting with new specials and limited-time cocktails, all while planning for a major expansion to the Sam Hughes neighborhood.
If you’re in the mood for ooey gooey comfort food, Redbird’s mac & cheese is where it’s at — “golden, creamy, and downright irresistible.”
They’re pumpin’ these out with pipette pasta that’s been coated in a triple cheese sauce. Once the sauce has seeped around the noodles, it’s topped with Gruyère cheese, giving it rich, velvety depth before sprinkled with black pepper breadcrumbs.
Add thick-cut bacon or roasted green chili to the mix for $2 each, and during Happy Hour (3 – 6 p.m. on Monday – Friday), score $2 off.
Often, the team at Redbird gets crafty behind the bar — creating new concoctions that mirror the season.
For St. Patrick’s Day, they’re serving the Lucky Charm: an exclusive cocktail made with freshly muddled kiwi, a splash of lemon juice, Tito’s vodka, and a vibrant green apple liqueur to celebrate the Irish holiday.
“This cocktail is as good as gold.”
In January, we announced that Redbird is teaming up with Sonoran House for The Village at Sam Hughes. The brand-new partnership is planning to open sometime this year inside the former Flora’s Market Run at 2513 E. Sixth St.
“We are super excited to continue to serve our community with comfort classics and craft cocktails while providing value with our hospitality,” said Sergio Pinon of Redbird. “We are delighted to receive all the support this last year and make Redbird an iconic destination for foodies.”
Sonoran House and Redbird aim to open sometime this summer — stay tuned for the official dates.
