We’ll handle the food and drinks. You bring the gossip.🍸

The sort of plate that accidentally becomes the best thing on the table.

Burrata, honeydew melon, prosciutto, basil and sourdough.

Don’t overlook this one.

Today is a sad day at The Blackbird, we bid farewell to an absolute all-timer, Queen of the Floor, Master of the Garden, Wine Connoisseur Lorna ✨

Always giving 100% no matter what, bringing her wit, warmth and looking fab while doing it, there’s definitely going to be a Lorna shaped hole in our venue and our hearts 😭

Our loss is London’s gain, though we’re super proud of her for grabbing this opportunity, and know she’ll be an absolute star ⭐

We ❤️ you Lorna, missing you already x

It might be Monday, but have you seen the weather?🌞 Honestly, that’s enough of an excuse for a cocktail or two.🍸

We’ve been keeping ourselves busy around here…👀

The new look was only half the story. We’ve been having a play around in the kitchen too, and quite a few new dishes have made their way onto the menu.

Come hungry!

For a little while there, this place was an absolute state…

We had paint all over the walls, equipment taking up every bit of space it could find and signs being worked on while we tried to figure out where everything was supposed to go. It was messy, but that’s what happens when you decide to give the place a proper glow up.

A lot of hard work went into getting her looking the way she does now, and we’re pretty bloody happy with how it turned out.

If you haven’t been in to see the new look yet, we’re waiting for you. Come have a nosey, grab a drink and make yourself at home!🧡

We couldn’t give the place a glow up without spoiling the menu too!

We’ve added loads of new dishes, mixed up the drinks list, and with the King’s Theatre finally back open, it felt like the right time to launch a pre-theatre menu too.

If you’re in Tollcross, swing by.

Have a look around.
Try something new.
Let us know what you think.

Same character. Same essence. Just looking a little fresher!

The paint’s dry, the glow up’s nearly complete, and we’re back doing what we do best. A couple of bits are still on their way - thanks, delivery gods - but we’re open and couldn’t wait to welcome you back!

Come and see what’s new.🧡
