Streetlevel: The Return of Hot Bird!
Hopefully this won’t get lost in the black hole of a Friday afternoon in the Summer cuz it’s big news: Hot Bird, the name of two well-loved-but-long-closed BBQ chicken joints in the Prospect Heights area, is making a come back.

Hopefully this won’t get lost in the black hole of a Friday afternoon in the Summer cuz it’s big news: Hot Bird, the name of two well-loved-but-long-closed BBQ chicken joints in the Prospect Heights area, is making a come back. We first heard from a tipster yesterday and just rode by the new location at the northwest corner of Clinton and Atlantic Avenues to confirm. Indeed it’s true: There’s a sign for the mailman referencing Hot Bird deliveries and the contractor said it was so. It’s supposed to be ready in two months, and that fence means there will be an outdoor dining area. A bonus for the owner: Not having to put up a new sign! Pscyhed? GMAP
Its one block from the clinton/washington C train stop at 546 Clinton Ave. Opens Tuesday April 20th.
5:30 pm
Date painted on the fence next to the Clinton Ave. entrance at Hot Bird, the bar, indicates it will be opening this Tuesday April 20th. I’ve heard that a food truck is in the works, coming soon…yum.
it was around the 80’s very very good chicken
Nope – it was the 80s. If there was hot bird when my kid was an infant (early 90s) we would have been living on takeout.
I believe that Hot Bird was a creation of the very early 90’s – not the 1980’s – I could be wrong however it was a long time ago
The building next door is vacant and up for rent… and someone is thinking of doing food there…
The lot was a mess for a long time and no one wanted to rent it. A new bar might be boring… but that’s what it’s going to be…
Say it aint so Frank say it aint so….
Good job Brownstoner 🙁
nice job. free riding on residual goodwill. happy karma.

“it’s unrelated to the old BBQ joint and won’t be serving BBQ food”
Crap!
