Blackbird Bar

The dim lights , reclaimed wood and carefully crafted cocktails scream "trendy spot," but the cheap drafts , pool table and photo booth in the back are the trademarks of a great neighborhood dive. Read more

Fun little trendy bar with seating so you can catch up with friends. If you have a large group, you can always rent out the backroom.

Protip: you can bring food in & eat it! For groups, try filet mignon tacos & duck flautas from nearby Chilango. For two people, grab a burger & sweet potato fries from nearby Burgermeister!

Well-spaced pool table and don't forget the photobooth in the back corner! Hot toddys to fight the fog and Pimms cup for summertime are the ways to go.

Blackbird has nicely stepped up its bar program. Be sure to ask for their full menu and scan the expanded selection o' spirits .

An easy breezy Castro-bordering spot to rely on for a solid, sometimes rather inventive, cocktail . Blackbird has super-nice bartenders , and a fun-loving mixed crowd that rarely gets out of control.

Blackbird is bringing a boozy menu of Games of Thrones themed cocktails . Sip on the Milk of the Poppy , a Mexican style eggnog with cognac & cinnamon mulled wine .

Drink a Fortunato, an off-menu cocktail at Blackbird, you might mistake for a tiki drink with a Southeast Asian twist. It's a blend of rum , lemongrass and coconut , accented by Thai-inspired bitters . Read more

Come on a weeknight to avoid too much of a crowd. Great spot to meet up with friends over a solid cocktail or two.

Cash only . Lots of great cocktails but stick with an old fashioned ; they make some great ones. They also have great bar jars for snacks . Pool table in the back.

The beloved Blackbird now takes credit cards !

Try the Adios My Friend! Several agave liqueurs aged in a bourbon cask , served over ice with grapefruit . It's smokey goodness!

Many flock here for the Elote Old Fashioned , which will stay on the menu through December. It's been their second most popular cocktail , based on sales, says bartender Matt Grippo.

Class it up with the Hot Toddy made with Evan Williams Single Barrel, Mightly Earl Grey tea , molasses, brown sugar , and vanilla bean paste . It's one of the best Hot Toddy 's around! Read more

Fantastic place to grab a cocktail before heading to a show at Cafe Du Nord. Also, gotta love a place where you see super complicated cocktails being served in the same round as a bunch of PBRs.

Absolutely EXQUISITE cocktails are the order of the day at this urbano-rustic bar . It's cash only and you'll see a LOT of cute boys -- and girls -- both behind the bar and at it. Get a good look, too Read more

Love this bar , constantly one of my favorites. I was a little sad they changed the menu and seemed to have re decorated. I enjoyed the new artwork though.

Get there early during happy hour as Blackbird quickly becomes standing room only! Great bar staff , great mixed drinks and good beer selection . My favorite place to chill with friends for a drink befo Read more

Wonderful bar with ambiance and friendly people. The owner is a really great guy too! My favorite is the Trinidad Sour with Rum !

Castro’s hottest neighborhood bar , BlackBird a former Market Street gin joint, now a slick, unpretentious spot for adepts of mixology and guys in tight tees. Try the “Secret Handshake” cocktail !

I've lost the following items here: A pair of shoes , a tutu and a sequined tunic. Its *that* good of a bar . Come early, stay late and don't forget to hit up the photo booth before you leave.

Good vibe, nice and helpful bartenders , fresh and great cocktails ! Especially the celery gimlet !!

If there’s more than four bikes parked out front, it will be too crowded inside to get a drink in a reasonable amount of time. Head to The Residence on 14th instead.

Wonderful cocktails made here when you’re not in the mood for their expansive whisk(e)y selection.

Bring some cash and a date for top notch whiskey cocktails . Fun spot. Seating tends to be limited.

i know kelly said to go here -but its a total snoozefest if you ask me! hahaha if you're going to get day drinks on the weekend id rather go to Moby Dicks or The Mix Bar . they have a back patio qts

Ask about the bar jars for a tasty snack with your tasty cocktail .

Creative cocktails ,nice beer selection and an extensive whisk{e}y to fit just about any bar goer’s mood.

There's a pool table in the back. The New Orleans Coffee is good. Almost as good as Blue Bottle 's, but with bourbon .

Good cocktails ; pretty good selection of Whiskey and Gin .

The improved Tokyo is great. A little Japanese whiskey and a little sake + wasabi .

Best Cocktail bar in town ! Great vibe, friendly mixologists and best drink menus in the city . Hands down!

Ooooh my! There are some cocktails that are aged in barrels that are delicioooous! Ask the bartender about them and for them.

Cute sister bar to Brewcade. They do great cocktails and have fun theme nights

Total insider tip. If yassir is working.... ask for the 'where there is smoke there is fire' it's the best cocktail they have (and it's not on the menu )

Blackbird now requires a Password for their WiFi , when I asked for the Password yesterday 24DEC13, the Bartender told me they had shut off the WiFi . You should give Customers the Password.

Amazing cocktails (try Rosa Rita & Celery Gimlet ) and vood selection of draught beers

Fun place. Get's a bit busy at night. Pool table + Big Buckhunter.

Intimate spot for a late night drink or date. Great cocktails and wine .

try the Orange Is The New Draft ! crafty name & delicious. bartender Josh is super great, works on tuesday & sundays!

Rye 'N Gosling cocktail : Gosling's rum , Yellow Chartreuse , Averna, Old Overholt rye , lime , lactart, cream soda . #ryangosling

If you don't mind your cocktail being awesome, have a fortunato.

Some of their cocktails are pre-made (so no subs ) but very delicious!

Handsome men, tasty drinks and relaxed vibes ... a gay bar without being overtly "gay." Get there early to get a seat. Try their barrel aged cocktails !

Look for their famed 61 Minute IPA and 90 Minute IPA , as well as a brewer's cellar release of the 2011 Burton Baton. Read more

Great cocktails ! Try the New Orleans coffee , on tap right now ☕️ ????

Go on a Tuesday night and the bartender 's likely to be playing his amazing dad rock playlist

Great cocktails ! Try the one with New Orleans chicory coffee .

Good drinks, very low key atmosphere. Good for those chill nights.

The bar is great but their happy hour drinks (while cheap ) are not that great tasting. I would spend the extra $ and not get the well liquor
