  • Nocturnal Pigeons

    1 - 8 people

    Multiple dates available
    NOCTURNAL PIGEONS is Pigeonhole 17th’s late-night indulgence for those who prefer their evenings a little… stimulated. A cheeky nod to after-dark cravings (the culinary kind, of course), this elevated snack menu features build-your-own seafood platters, buck-a-shuck oysters, and half-priced bottles of wine that tend to send the night in slightly unhinged directions. Available 9pm-10pm Tuesday-Thursday, 10pm-1am Friday-Saturday. Reservations available, walk-ins encouraged!

Pigeonhole on 17th Ave offers "amazing food" and "outstanding service" in a "beautiful room" with a "great cocktail selection." Guests rave about the "best fries" and a schnitzel served with a "delicious sauce." Perfect for both date nights and group outings, though some find the music a bit loud.

    Awesome spot! I’ve known about it for years but just never got around to it until now. We went for my boyfriend’s birthday and enjoyed it overall. The service really stood out to us as being top notch. THE FRIES, some of the best we’ve had. The schnitzel skin was so crisp and tasty with the bowl of delicious sauce on the side (I very much appreciate the generosity). Would highly recommend. Only constructive note is that the music is sooo loud - I think they should definitely turn it down to make the space more enjoyable.
