Starting a successful restaurant can be a tough task for most business owners. This year has been even more daunting.
Dirty Birdies Sports Bar & Grill s three owners threw caution to the wind and decided to battle bad weather, a recession and a pandemic when opening their business. They hope their fun atmosphere and cleaning regime can help carry them through a rough year in Flagstaff.
The business was recently opened at 2285 E. Butler Ave. in the old Porkyâs Pub and Country Host Restaurant space near Interstate 40.
The restaurant s owners feel Dirty Birdies can work, especially in such a busy location. But the business has been open for about a month, and the owners already know it s going to be difficult. In addition to reduced revenue, the restaurant owners are having to pay increased hazard pay for employees and are looking at the upcoming minimum wage increase to $15 in January.
