The Blackbird (Tollcross)

• This is a cool stylish bar with a vast selection of draught beers
• When stepping inside it was uncanny it has the same environment of a bar in shoreditch or islington without been jammed full of pretentious &lsquo
• The drinks are reasonably priced and has comfortable seating
• One side of the venue is reserved for dining which I unfortunately did not get to experience
• A friendly bar with a selection of ales and affordable mixers I would recommend The Blackbird great place to start and end the night without going too far from home
• I came here on Saturday with friends for a meal
• We started our evening in the beer garden at the back which was a nice hidden spot and considering we were just up from Tollcross
• Unless you are forced to go outside
• I would definitely say this is the type of place to have dinner and then keep your table for the evening to then carry on your night with drinks
• The service was absolutely briliant
• They were apparantly a man down that evening but I wouldn't say I had noticed they were all working well and were pleasantly attentive to our table
• The burger was very good and the serving style was 'rustic' being served on wooden boards and paper and then the chips served in a little metallic pot
• I didn't have any cocktails there was a lovely looking list of them
• We visited the Blackbird one mid week evening and were surprised to find the place so busy
• We had a quick drink at the bar whilst our table was cleared and it gave us a chance to take in our surroundings
• The stak pie was packed full of steak pieces and came with a healthy sized serving of chips
• The goats cheese and mushroom burger was delicious and to make it even tastier I asked for some bacon on it as well which they were more than happy to do
• By the time we were leaving the place was buzzing and had a great atmosphere
• They have a brilliant cocktail menu with loads of choice all split down by the type of drink eg long
• I had a tempura prawn and bacon wrap with hot sauce and chips which wasn't that big but was really tasty
• The salty bacon went so well with the prawns and chips were proper ones
• My friend had a super food salad with chicken that looked good too
• Both our meals were around £
• Such a cosy feel to The Blackbird (Tollcross) with lovely staff and great food
• Meeting up with my friend L for lunch doesn&rsquo
• Sticky lemon chicken with udon noodles
• We wished the day had been hot and sunny so we could have basked on the welcoming terrace but it was June and of course chilly
• I had seen the menu and was very excited about a good few dishes
• My sister enjoyed her breakfast and I have to say my french toast was so light and fluffy
• It was a joy that was hindered by the stingy portion of bacon
• It sounded so interesting and was nice but didn't work as much as it should have
• I ordered the Sticky lemon chicken with udon noodles and my friend had the Beef burger with twice cooked chips
• The lemon chicken dish was seriously good
• The Blackbird is an all day kind of place
• Their food is pretty good
