Birdies Eats & Drinks
Birdies Eats & Drinks
This fresh, California-inspired restaurant is slated to open in June 2023 at 3850 Lougheed Highway in Burnaby.
This address might look familiar, especially to folks living in Burnaby.
That would be because it is actually the former spot of Earls Bridge Park, which closed its doors after 26 years of operation earlier this month to make way for the brand’s highly anticipated new spot at The Amazing Brentwood nearby.
Address:Â 3850 Lougheed Highway, Burnaby
