Bluebird as it appears from Pike Street. Peer through the huge shop windows, an artifact of its days as an auto dealership, and see what's on our menu today.
Bluebird strives to reflect the community from which it was borne. One of its methods of accomplishing this is by using upcycled materials. Here, you can see the seating on a church pew from our prior tenant, the Church of the Undignified, at tables fashioned from Hamilton Middle School's basketball court. Bar seating is also available overlooking Pike Street. Every month, we'll decorate our walls with work from a new local artist, and offer it for sale. This wall features art by Jennifer Culp.
For your entertainment, we offer a huge selection of board games, National Geographics, and hardcover books. On top of the piano/condiment bar you'll find our community book exchange, where you can take a book for free when you leave one of your own.
The stage was also made from Hamilton Middle School's basketball court. Most hours of the day, its furniture makes for a cozy hangout nook. At night, we'll have local bands playing or performances from other creative artists. Email IceCreamCapHill@gmail.com if you're interested in booking a performance.
More art for sale above the stage, from Seattle local Allison Choppick.
From bottom to top--our counter, our selection of teas, our menu (on a blackboard, for ease of updates as our offerings are constantly in flux), and a window to the upstairs space which we are hoping to turn into more seating and a space for free reservation by Capitol Hill community clubs and organizations.
Thanks to our Twitter followers @kevinseattle and @khig for these additions. Follow us on Twitter and tag your photos with #bluebirdpics if you want to be featured here.
What better complement to ice cream is there than free beer? Stay tuned for future events.
Always happy to serve at Bluebird.
