Even though we went for lunch, The Blackbird is an all-day kind of place, with its bar area filling up quickly on Friday and Saturday nights. Their food is pretty good, and I am keen to go back and try out their cocktails – perhaps one to save for nearer Christmas(..!)?
The blackbird seems to be one of Edinburgh’s trendiest bars of the moment, owned by the same people as Hamilton’s and Treacle, it’s bound to be decent. Myself and a friend visited for after-work dinner, we went straight in for the mains. I ordered the Sticky lemon chicken with udon noodles and my friend had the Beef burger with twice-cooked chips. The lemon chicken dish was seriously good, so good that if I go back to The Blackbird then I will definitely re-order it!
I really like The Blackbird for drinks. It can get crowded by I really like the atmosphere, music and the staff. It's usually buzzing and mostly very crowded on Fridays and Saturdays. I still need to visit them for food so watch this space for more to follow! :)
