About Blackbird Bar, Dining & Events

Eagle Street dining stakes its claim right here—a 1920s-styled room angled straight at the Story Bridge. Regulars build their night around the wood-fired grill, chasing Wagyu bavette and seared Paroo kangaroo loin alongside honey-bacon Brussels sprouts while CityCats glide across the water below. Corporate dinners slip into the private Champagne Room for quiet hosting, while anniversary couples get looked after with Oscietra caviar, tailored cellar picks, and a port wine melon granita before the mains land.

  • Story Bridge Panoramas: Direct riverfront views looking out to the illuminated Story Bridge, framed by plush booth seating and a separate upstairs bar.
  • Wood-Fired Grill & Native Game: Wagyu cuts and Paroo kangaroo loin prepared over wood fire alongside fresh seafood platters.
  • Private Dining Suites: Dedicated private spaces including the Champagne Room and Deco Room, configured for corporate entertaining and executive dinners.
  • Milestone Hospitality: Attentive table service featuring personalized wine pairings, allergy-conscious care, and anniversary celebration touches.

  • Wood-Fired Steaks and Native Australian Game

    Beyond prime beef striploins, the wood-fired grill highlights indigenous Australian culinary heritage with expertly prepared Paroo kangaroo loin and pie.

    The beef striploin steak is absolutely wonderful, as is the Paroo kangaroo pie and loin, something that is definitely unique to Australia.

  • Note Milestones and Seating Preferences Early
