A standard story of gentrification this. Once a friendly enough Irish pub, the Bird in Hand went gastro a couple of years back, in keeping with the gentrification of this residential area. Since then it's duelled it out with the Havelock Tavern over the road for local custom. The Bird in Hand isn't a bad place all told - its cream coloured walls certainly induce a pleasant atmosphere on a warm day - but there's just very little to set it apart from any number of other gastro refit across town.
