Blackbird is a venue with two identities. Depending on who you ask, the venue is either one of the best weekend party hotspots in Brisbane, or it’s a fantastic fine-dining destination that gourmands rave about. In reality, Blackbird Bar & Grill is both – a multi-faceted bar and eatery that boasts a 1920s-inspired fit-out and 180-degree view of the glittering Story Bridge and Brisbane River. The venue inhabits the former Queensland Rugby Club and comprises one restaurant and two bars, offering an opportunity to curate the night you desire. When it comes to the nosh, only the best will suffice. Freshly sourced produce is incorporated across the menu, from the Coffin Bay oysters, Moreton Bay bugs, Hervey Bay scallops, decadent salmon caviar and array of premium dry-aged beef. The steaks at Blackbird are some of the best in town, with an imported Infierno 96 wood-fired grill cooking your chosen slab to perfection. The bar is staffed by a team of award-winning bartenders, serving sought-after beers and spirits, cocktails and wines, as well as snacks for those that feel like a nibble with their tipple.
