Situated on Leven Street, but taking inspiration from the uber trendy bars of Shoreditch and Soho, inside you’ll find a contemporary and quirky interior
Welcome to the Blackbird – home to the best beer garden in Edinburgh (.....probably)
Winner of the Scottish Style Award 2013 – The Blackbird brings together house batch cocktails, craft beers, great food and weekly live music sessions. What’s not to love?.
Nice bar , attentive bar staff and great choice of whiskey. Beer garden with canvas roof and surrounded with walls to keep the wind away, also have heaters for the chilly nights. Good choice of background music.
Such a lovely retreat from the days chaos. Staff are always happy, says a lot for their working environment. Very welcoming to dogs. Thankyou again. Marty, Davison Menswear.
Nice pub with a good atmosphere and very helpful staff. The food however is very mediocre. I had a burger which lacked any sort of flavour and was absolutely dripping with water. It was 12 quid and didn't come with chips. The menu is very limited as well. If you're just going for a drink one evening it's a great place but I wouldn't recommend for a meal. Needs a menu overhaul.
Stopped in here on the way home. A beautifully presented pub. We had lunch and were pleasantly greeted by a fancy new menu with some delicious food. Can reccomend the 'Carne ASADA Fries'. Everything was great, do yourself a favour and get down here!
We went here on a deal. I didn't enjoy my meal enjoy to feel I'll ever go back. I got the Chicken burger, when it came out, it looked the part. Alas it was style over substance. The chicken itself was fairly small, much smaller than the beef burger (partner had). One side of the chicken was super thin, rising up to the other being a bit thicker. It was soft, being brined in buttermilk. I couldn't figure out whether it was supposed to have a coating or not, see picture. It came with red lettuce on, which leaked lots of moisture as I picked up the bun, not great for eating and watered the flavour down. Overall it was much too sweet, brioche bun is sweet and the some sweet mayo, pineapple maybe. I had to eat the chicken on its own, to taste it, it got lost in the mess. Full price for the Chicken burger alone is £10. I would be very disappointed at that price. Chips were £4.50, seems very expensive for very average frozen French fries. No way these are made fresh. The guts of £15 for a great looking, but very mediocre Chicken Burger and chips. I could not recommend.
