Dirty Birds is a popular, locally-owned restaurant and sports bar chain primarily known for its chicken wings in San Diego. Founded by partners Jonathan Ollis, Adam Jacoby and Fred Hollman, the restaurant has established itself as a “home away from home” for sports fans in the area. The original location is located in Pacific Beach. Multiple locations now exist across San Diego, including Ocean Beach, Liberty Station, the College Area (SDSU) and a spot at the UCSD Price Center. They are known as a high-energy sports bar, often displaying numerous “wing championship banners.” In addition to their specialized wings (with options like Dirty Blue, Seoul and Apple Bourbon Chipotle), they offer salads, burgers, sandwiches and craft beers.
Paul Diamond, senior principal, stated, “We are excited to welcome Dirty Birds restaurant to 200 Pine. They are a locally owned restaurant and sports bar, proudly serving some of the best wings in San Diego. They make serving the community their number one priority, both inside and outside of the restaurant. We are targeting to have them open later this year. The last lower-level space we have available for lease is an adjoining 4,923-square-foot space that is ideal for a nightclub. We have had a lot of interest from bar owners to make this a speakeasy-type club with private access from the parking garage.”
Noel Aguirre and Sean Lieppman at Lee & Associates are the leasing representatives for the owner.
David Kim, managing partner, added, “Downtown Long Beach is experiencing a major revitalization driven by community-focused events, public space improvements and increased investment. The signing of the Dirty Birds lease on the prime corner of Pine Avenue in Long Beach is a great example of this transformation. Key initiatives include the DTLB Live! monthly series on the Promenade, the transformation of Pine Avenue and the inaugural Long Beach Revival Festival, aiming to boost local culture and economic growth.”
Various public transportation options are available to tenants, such as a downtown transit route and the Metro A Line, one block from the building.
Long Beach is undergoing a major revitalization, with over $1.7 billion in projects expected to transform the city by 2030, driven by the 2028 Olympics, the Elevate 28 infrastructure program and the Downtown Plan update. Key initiatives include transforming the downtown waterfront, creating a 400-acre wind turbine facility at the Port, and creating dense, mixed-use developments like the Mosaic, adding thousands of residential units and new public spaces.
