Located inside Gillman Barracks, Blackbird is a proper bar with great selection of wine, beer and cocktails. The food is definitely 100% top-notched, with the classic fries and nachos done so well, in generous servings that would feed 3 or even 4 easily, with even more generous servings of bacon bits, cheese and cheese sauces. The fish with baked potatoes are well done as well, with the fish being lightly seasoned and pan-fried to skin crispy perfection; eat it while its hot! The drinks are definitely spot on as well, with the bartenders able to customize your drinks to your liking easily eg. switch out the Hendricks for any other that you'll love, or even switch it up to a Mezcal. Drinks' prices are a tad on the high side, but the whole atmosphere with their kickass DJ + live bands like Supernova, its definitely worth a good night here! Cheers!

Honestly one of the worst places I’ve been to in a while. Everything was way overpriced and the food and drinks were really below average. I ordered the fish and chips (about $30 after GST) and it was probably the worst I’ve ever had. The plate was piled with fries and just two small pieces of fish. It honestly felt like it came out of an air fryer and wasn’t even properly cooked—the fish was not cooked. Was cold inside and had a weird smell. I asked the waiter to change it and he did, but the second plate was just as disappointing. Tried the pizza and that was pretty bad too. If you’re charging that much, at least make it worth it. For drinks, I had a margarita—it looked nice, but tasted really bland. The virgin longan mojito was even worse, basically just longan water with ice you’d get from a pasar malam. Service wasn’t great either. The waiters barely attended to the outdoor seating and it took forever just to get their attention. Overall, really shocked and disappointed that a place charging these kind of prices can serve such poor food and drinks. The only good thing was the ambience and the live band.

Danica & Thari provided courteous and professional services 18th August 2026. Perhaps it was a half private event Mashup with public walk in crowd and confusing initially. Music selection was mellow towards private event repertoire and maybe other days will have a better repertoire selection. Hoping to hear more indie bands and originals but may come again weekends perhaps.

Great food and fantastic bands! The Cod Fish and Chips was particularly enjoyable, and the constant drink (beer) promos help to stave off some of the heat from your pockets. Do opt to sit outdoors if you want to chit-chat with your mates, as the music/band-playing volume will overpower most conversations indoors.

I was there for the food with husband, pleasantly surprised with the quality of live music. Their shoe string fries and salad at the side of the burger meal was soooooo yummy, you can eat the fries on its own (tasted better than with condiments). Salad sauce was a very nice concoction with sesame base. Will be back again for our date lunch/dinner.
