About Blackbird Bar, Dining & Events

Riverfront glamour meets serious fire on Eagle Street—Blackbird is built for nights that call for occasion. Diners come for unobstructed Story Bridge views and CityCats gliding across the river below, settling into curved booths for wood-grilled Wagyu bavette, honey-bacon Brussels sprouts, and Paroo kangaroo loin. Corporate hosts head to the private Champagne Room for client dinners, while celebration tables let staff navigate rum pairings before wrapping up with an affogato spiked with Frangelico.

  • Story Bridge Panoramas: Direct riverside tables overlook the illuminated Story Bridge and passing river ferries.
  • Wood-Fired Cuts & Game: The wood-fired grill turns out tender Wagyu cuts alongside regional specialties like Paroo kangaroo loin.
  • Executive Private Dining: Dedicated private dining areas like the Champagne Room and Deco Room cater to executive client dinners and private functions.
