Early Bird Breakfast Pub opens in SGF

Whether you're hungry for some bourbon apple glazed ham with eggs and hash browns or you need a little hair of the dog to get the day started, check out the Early Bird Breakfast Pub at 1717 E. Cherokee St. (former location of Twilight Grille) in southeast Springfield.

Opened on March 1 by brothers Stephen and Shawn Washburn, the pub/diner specializes in breakfast, lunch and drinks.

Hours are 7 a.m.-3 p.m. Monday-Friday; 7 a.m.-4 p.m. Saturday; and 9 a.m.-4 p.m. Sunday. The bar is open during those hours.

"We've always worked in restaurants," Stephen Washburn said. "We had an idea — we need a breakfast bar in town.

"It's great for the third shifters and people who want to start the day buzzed," he added.

The pub seats about 100 people; the outdoor patio seats about 40.
