Holiday Cheer Takes Flight
As winter settles in, Birdie’s Rooftop transforms into Fort Wayne’s first holiday pop-up — a glowing retreat above the city, where sparkling lights and drifting snow set the scene.
Welcome to the Winter Nest
Step off the snowy streets and into a rooftop winter wonderland where the city sparkles below. Firelight flickers, blankets beckon, and laughter drifts through the crisp evening air. Every corner is a little escape, a place to sip, savor, and celebrate the season with the people you love.
Come along with us and wander through the magic of the holidays.
Sip & Savor
The scent of evergreen mingles with cinnamon and citrus as soft holiday melodies float through the space. Handcrafted cocktails sparkle in your glass, and shareable plates tempt your taste buds, each bite carrying a touch of winter magic as you snuggle under a cozy blanket fireside.
Here’s what awaits you:
- Seasonal Cocktails – Handcrafted sips with a festive sparkle.
- Holiday Menu – Shareable bites made to savor together.
- Curated Playlists – Tunes that make the season sing.

Festive Nights
Step out of the snow and into the warmth of Birdie's, where the week’s worries melt away. Gather with friends, share laughs, and let the glow of the twinkling lights lift your spirits. The week feels lighter, the season brighter — a cozy escape where joy, connection, and festive moments welcome you.
