From Covid-19 to wildfires we are here for you!

We are open to limited dine-in indoors and outside full capacity, and we offer to-go. We are happy to be 5 Star Level Up certified by Larimer County allowing us to operate a level above the current level.

Things will be a little different as we operate during COVID--please read about what your visit will be like.

what this means about your visit

2020 has been quite the year for all of us!

Thank you so much for supporting local businesses and keeping Bird & Jim alive! We were able to serve tens of thousands of people safely this summer! Like everyone else, we had no idea what to expect but with overseas travel being limited and people needing a change of scenery our town was blessed with many visitors that kept businesses alive!

This summer we set up two 20 x 20 tents next to our building creating a makeshift dining room in the east parking lot. This provided plenty of airflow and helped to make up for the seating we lost in the dining room. Of course with the changing weather--the tents came down in mid-October.

We have installed industrial heaters on our patio to accommodate and encourage outdoor dining this winter! It will be just like you're at the ski resort watching skiers come down the hill, sipping your hot chocolate underneath radiating warmth!

Also, McLain Built made beautiful metal and wood 6x6 and 6x4 dividers specifically to complement Bird & Jim's interior. They are placed throughout our lounge and dining room in between tables. This does not allow us any more tables but creates a sense of separation in addition to the 6 feet distance between tables.

We have reinvented the wheel to survive and we will continue to do so as we navigate and get through this pandemic providing customers a safe place to dine and employees a safe work environment.

We look forward to seeing you soon!

Drink

Our philosophy of sourcing quality sustainable food carries over to wine--small farmers, organic, sustainable, biodynamic, are just as important to our wine selection as to our ingredients. Our sommelier is personally selecting wine for our extensive wine list and to pair with our food offerings.

The bar team at Bird & Jim is excited to bring you handcrafted cocktails using fresh ingredients. Our cocktails are thoughtfully concocted by our expert team resulting in unique libations. Our team is driven by an innate sense of hospitality with a passion for creating a memorable experience. Join us in a newly renovated, beautifully designed bar near the entrance to Rocky Mountain National Park.

Wine List & Spirits

Food

At Bird & Jim, we are defining Colorado cuisine with our ever-evolving seasonal and ingredient-driven menus sourced from the Front Range of Colorado and beyond. Our menus are influenced by our artisan approach to cooking, the ardent nature of our farmers from which we source. Our philosophy revolves around local, sustainable, and healthy eating. To provide this experience whenever possible we proudly source from local farms and ranchers from Estes Park, Drake, Longmont, Hygiene, and Boulder Colorado.

Catering

Let Bird & Jim bring our fresh, seasonal, quality food to your table, making your special event outstanding. We offer several different catering options. If possible we are happy to host your dinners at Bird & Jim. If our available times and space constraints do not work for you--Bird & Jim can come to you.

Catering Information

Who are we?

Birds of a Feather Flock Together. In September 2016 seeking a place to spread her wings and start her own restaurant, Melissa Strong was introduced to the new owner of Alpine Trail Ridge Inn and the Sundeck restaurant. After rezoning and subdividing they were able to start creating the space for Bird & Jim. Friends for years Melissa and John Witmer talked about a chance like this. After a few meetings and a lot of perseverance Bird & Jim came to be.
