Reviews for Blackbird Public Urban Bar in Calgary, AB

Definitely liked the look of the bar. Great TV’s for watching sports. Bartenders were attentive. Only issue we had was how... long the food took to come, and the pizza was oddly soggy for pizza. It wasn’t fully cut into slices, and the crust was sosoft, and the pizza slices just flopped. Not sure if this is how it always is or if it was undercooked that night, but may notget it again. Spinach dip was good. I may go back again just to try a few other things and see how long the food takes before Imake a real decision on how I feel about it. Read more

Don't go to this place. The wings were extremely dry or too saucy, the nachos tasted good...... until I went home. I got super... bad food poisoning that kept me 3 days away from work puking my guts out and straight water diarrhea every half hour. That alonewill ensure I never come here again. The servers were great though. Read more

A well attended restaurant, but the service was very slow. The food was average. Tuesday is taco day. The promo says $2.50 each,... with a three minimum. When I tried to order four tacos, I was told that it is in groups of 3 and extras were $3 each. This isnot what was advertised! We tried Blackbird twice--first time was good; this time was bad. I guess it was okay on average. Read more

Great nachos, everything else was not great. Pizza burned to a crisp and still served and soggy fish and chips. Nice servers... though! Read more

Nice establishment with some tasty looking pub food menu items. We came on a Sunday afternoon and enjoyed some of the specials... like $6 msocow mules and 50% off 8" personal pizzas. Waitresses was friendly and served our needs. We sat on the patio and had agreat time. Would come again. Read more

Unsure the bartenders name. A fair fellow. 34- we joked about our ages. Was unbelievable. Friendly, professional, sold us on... buck a shuck oysters. Decent atmosphere. Haven’t been out in years and the last time I was here was corporate. Not a littledisappointed. Will be back. Read more

First time at this pub, the atmosphere is lovely! I like the restroom too! Our server was absolutely wonderful! Honestly, I... would give her 5 ??. We were there last night for wings. OMG, it could not have been worse. We ordered salt and pepper, thosewere yummy. We ordered buffalo ranch & Carolina honey mustard, I never expected what arrived. It seems hot sauce was added toranch dressing and applied in EXCESS to the wings. The Carolina honey mustard was literally wings slathed in copious amounts ofhoney mustard. I don't think even people who love mustard (me) would use THAT MUCH on a chicken wing!! Add to it that the wingsarrived barely warm...so we got to watch the ranch dressing congeale in front of us. My date assures me he ordered buffalo ranchin the past and it was not like it was last night. Also, when going for wings, a nice veggie platter would be good. Not simplycarrots and celery. Many pubs (near to your pub) have better wings than what I experienced last night & veggies available. Mydate assures we won't be back despite the great servers. Read more

Really nice place overall, with great atmosphere and fantastic service. Beers were great, but we found some of the food hit or... miss. I’ll still definitely be back, because the popcorn is magic. Read more
