Birdy's Sports Bar has new owners!
There’s a special magic that happens when a place becomes more than just a spot on the map—it becomes a beloved part of the community, a place where memories are made, and friendships turn into family.
A Place That Changed Lives
Birdy's Sports Bar
Years ago, the three of us (Billy, Codi, and Matt) met at McClain’s pizzeria. It turned into more than just a restaurant; it was the beating heart of our community. It was where we gathered with friends, shared countless laughs, and celebrated life’s big and small moments. It is where we became family. The pizzeria was the neighborhood hangout, a place that fostered connections and created a strong sense of belonging. We felt welcomed and became part of the community. We all have fond memories of those times—kids running around, families sharing meals, and many laughs being had by all. It is the beginning of our story and what brought us here today.
Formation of Tripals
When we (Matt, Codi, and Billy) decided to go into business together, we knew it had to be more than just a business. We were not just looking to buy any restaurant; we’re on a mission to bring back the magic of a night out in Spokane. We want to give back to the community that gave us so much and ensure that everyone can have their favorite spot to create happy memories, meet new friends, and build their family for generations to come.
