Our Story
Hello, my name is Inky!
I began as a server in 2002 and quickly bonded with the Bluebird employee family, gradually working my way up in management. I carried out the tradition of employees becoming owners by purchasing the Bluebird in 2018. The Bluebird started in 1982 and has always been managed by it's employees with a passion for quality food served in a jazz music-infused cozy dining atmosphere. Our menu features items made in-house from scratch, such as bread, jams, gravy, sausages, smoked meats, various sauces, and what I believe to be the best hollandaise in town. We also have a variety of hot sauces and my favorite is "Inky's Lost in the Sauce", a peach bourbon hot sauce. It is sweet and spicy, just like me!
Thank you so much to all the loyal guests we have served over the many years, new faces, and those I hope to meet in the future. We greatly appreciate you being here for us, and in return, we promise to consistently deliver a first-rate dining experience unique to Fort Collins, which begins with the incredible energy and vibe felt as you walk through the door.
