The Birdcage

Great drinks and a really fun atmosphere. Its a little loud, i dont mind that, but if you do I would think twice before going. The crowd tends to be younger, but there are enough people if any age that you will feel comfortable.

Chill place with a fun mix of hangout spots inside and outside on the patio

So I avoided this place for a long time due to the pretentious vibe it gives from outside. I must say that overall this was an absolutely beautiful place! Drinks arent cheap but its Santa Monica so thats just the way it goes.Theres plenty of bars and great spaces. The patios are gorgeous and they do some sort of show or host every night! Definitely worth the visit from time to time

They have a limited but delicious brunch on weekends. Timed bottolmess mimosas. The overall vibe of the space is amazing. Nightlife is decent. They only have ONE bathroom though, for men and women. Unless you want to go downstairs then go back through the line to get back in.

Very disappointed. I came here one of the first nights it was open and had a brilliant time - loved how inclusive the dancefloor felt. But the tables turned so harshly! Tonight (9/15/17) we were specifically asked our sexual orientation in line and not let in because we werent what they were looking for - told we would have a better time getting in on the other side of the building. What a horrible, exclusive experience from a group we expected to be loving. Never to return and going to discourage any friends from the same.

Mostly women, plus straight guys with a few token gays. Average age around 25... I dont think this is really a gay bar... but its nice looking place. Oh and dont go down the stairs, thats a one way trip and you have to go back outside and re-enter from the street again if you want to go back upstairs. Ugh.

Terrible experience. Had purchased a Pride ticket a month in advance and was sent around the block and downstairs while non-ticket holders were alowed entrance. Im looking into my legal options.

Bouncer specifically let lgbtq in people first before anyone else. Nice change from typical bar experience outside of WeHo. Great music, amazing DJ, solid drinks, and good lighting.

The birdcage is nothing like you hope it would be! Invoking the spirit of Robin Williams will get you and all those associated with you exile from the space it offers.In honor of Mr. Williams, the greatest honor is to see in him other spaces that honor his name and his efforts to make the world a better place come to fruition!Mr. Williams has created spaces that create happiness and harmony in ways that this place defiles in his efforts and contributions to the industry.Supporting a gay friendly domicile would be a great endeavor, but I wish that you find one worthy!

From SF, I missed my gay bars terribly. I am happy to have The Birdcage on the west side now to fulfill the hole in my heart. My wife & friends always have a great time here, regardless of time or day.

Amazing place . this pkace is decorated to the NINES...They had Big Kim sing & dance . & poet Jade Roller blade amazing !& puppet bird everybodys loves .Must SEE. .

Disappointing. Filled with very straight university students, who gave me strange looks. Not sure why it is described as an LGBT venue? Drinks were overpriced.

My fav place to go in santa monica. They hide all the cute boys in the middle. Youre welcome.

A gay bar that doesnt allow patrons to wear shorts... In California.... Umm sure, okay

Incredible space! You’ll get lost in here and won’t want to find your way out as it’s the spot to be.

Too bad, good space but top 40 radio playing for tourism. Sad

The esthetic was beautiful and service was great along with rhe delicious drinks and food.

Unique, quirky spot perfect for chilling with friends. The decor reminds me of cape cod.

Neat place, but way too overpriced for a drink there.
