Starbird Spirits & Bites has quickly carved out its own lane on Hilton Head Island. Set within the Village at Wexford, the bar leans into a refined, almost meditative style of mixology. At the center of it all is Chief Mixologist Shane McEnery, whose attention to detail shows up in every step: citrus pressed to order, thoughtful infusions, and ice that’s as much a part of the drink as the spirits themselves. Nothing here feels rushed. Each cocktail arrives balanced, fragrant, and quietly impressive.

The space itself is warm and intimate, ideal for settling in before dinner or easing into the later hours. The menu offers a mix of playful creations, confident classics, and lighter options for those going spirit-free. For something simple but standout, Tiny Guide recommends the House Gin & Tonic, built around their own house-made tonic.
