BLACKBIRD BAR & GRILL REVIEWS
We went to the Blackbird with a group of friends. It was our first time there. The décor the atmosphere was great. You can see the chefs cooking from your seat the nice smells from the kitchen and the wood grill was fantastic. We all had steaks and they where cooked to perfection, probably the best steak I have had in Brisbane. The wait staff where very attentive refilled drinks and took plates away quickly. The dining experience was top notch, I don't think any of us could fault a thing. It was busy for a Thursday night most tables full great views over the Storey Bridge and the river. Great place, so good I took my parents there for their anniversary on Saturday night. I asked on Thursday night to book a table for Saturday at 6pm and I was told there were no tables available for Saturday night at 6pm, so I tried my luck and booked online Friday morning and got a table surprise. But be careful you need to put in a credit card as there is a booking fee and if you cancel within 24 hours and other conditions you loose the fee. Really good dining experience both nights, we will be back.
We had our anniversary dinner tonight and we had a three course menu. Every single plate served on the table was superb! Totally scrumptious and the presentation was mouthwatering! One of the staff was excellent and friendly - sorry forgot his name , Maurel? We then continued to the bar with its breathtaking view of story bridge at night- so thank you for making our anniversary so memorable
I'm really impressed with the dessert (first one on the menu). The combination of Balck sesame, apple, and cream, is amazingly beautiful. Highly recommended.

BROOKLYN STANDARD REVIEWS
A friend and I dropped in on Thursday night to tie one on, and I was not disappointed. It's an American-style basement dive bar with character, extremely knowledgable and friendly staff who make excellent cocktails, and the place is very well run. Really nice vibe from the crowd too, all smiles. The cover band was also great, very tight old rockers playing 70s covers. Love the place, will be back!
Great location, Bar design are so great and its pretty amazing twitness and enjoy the live band during my visit here. Had a fantastic time last month with my bestfriend we enjoy singing to all the song that the band plays. Highly recommended!
Place comes alive on a Friday night. Such a fun venue giving off inner city Brooklyn vibes (as the name suggests). Good mix of young and old. Very friendly staff and live music is great.
