Blackstones renamed and upmarket. Now with real gastro fare and craft beers - the guinness stew was great.
Michael HilgendorfFebruary 4, 2015They have 2 flavors of crabbie's! Great beer options, chili and nachos are yummy!
Good after work vibes. Okay selection of happy hour beer and wine but better options don't go on special
Paul EDecember 8, 2013Fantastic beer selection, and the atrium is nicely appointed. Good call for a private event!

If you're in the mood for cider, try the Mckenzie Black Cheery for a sweet and flavorful drink.
Tyler BrockMarch 3, 2015Good beer selection if you are stuck in midtown east. Fills up with wanker bankers round 6:30 though.
The service can be hit or miss, but the food is reliably good.
Bill MaslynOctober 25, 2019Good beer selection, but super-packed and impossible to hear anyone (at least after 6p on a Thursday).
Able ParrisJanuary 6, 2014Be sure to hang out in the back room, surrounded by windows, hanging out by the fireplace.
Kyra 🍸✨January 4, 2013Fresh makeover...not the same dive it was when it was blackbirds, but still enjoyable. Food improved.
Bonnie CarpenterOctober 13, 2014Packed during Thursday night but tons of great beers to choose from!
Ruben VardanyanJuly 1, 2018Terrible service, we entered the so called pub to have some drinks with friend, it was late at night and after taking a seat, a GUARD approached us and told to get away from the table and go to bar!
- R DanielJanuary 7, 2014Great place, but they should really dim the lights more in the front dining area.
Kelly PilarskiJanuary 26, 2018They don’t let you taste the beer before you get a pint of it which is bizarre for a beer hall.- Kelly PilarskiJanuary 26, 2018They don’t let you taste the beer before you get a pint of it which is bizarre for a beer hall.
Jacques ChiracOctober 21, 2015These guys don't even know how many tables they still have available for customers to seat.
