After more than a decade on Division Street, The Catbird Seat and The Patterson House have found a new perch atop the Bill Voorhees Building at Paseo South Gulch.

The Patterson House now has more room to play, with an expanded cocktail program, a private bar room, and elevated food offerings that go beyond your average bar snacks — think: a French dip-style burger and a 16-ounce pork chop. The Catbird Seat’s signature U-shaped counter remains central to its prix fixe experience, and a new wine lounge offers guests a place to settle in before or after meals.

Pro tip: The Patterson House is mostly first come, first serve, with large party reservations available; The Catbird Seat opens reservations on the first of each month.
