Brisbane's Award-Winning Riverfront Bar & Grill and Events Space. Open Monday - Sunday
12pm - Late

On the back of massive success with Byblos bar + restaurant Portside, 5ifth Element at Southbank and Byblos Melbourne, the Ghanem Group decided to give Brisbane diners something special and opened Blackbird Bar & Restaurant on the 28th of February, 2014. Blackbird is housed at the site formerly owned by the Queensland Rugby Club and utilises the massive 1000 square metre space by dividing it into both a sophisticated and funky bar and restaurant space. While the venue maintains some of the Ghanem flavour the boys’ previous ventures are known for, there are also some incredible new additions. While the restaurant has a clear flare for luxuriant steaks and fine dining, the bar flaunts the Ghanem reputation for first-class cocktails. Featuring an extensive cocktail list, paired with a grazing menu which will be available until late, Blackbird burst onto the scene as a hospitality crosspoint for fine dining and after dark drinks. Whether it be for dinner, drinks or a dance, we hope to see you on the river soon.

The business lunch, done properly. River views, a refined menu and service that respects your schedule.

07/11/2026

Fried, but make it refined. Buttermilk fried quail with celeriac remoulade and mustard fruit caramel.

04/11/2026

Number two from Will’s discovery list.

The 2024 Le Ragnaie Troncone Toscana Rosso from Montalcino, Tuscany. It’s a bright, perfumed red: Sangiovese from vineyards higher than Brunello rules allow. It’s pale and pretty in the glass, bursting with energy, with driving acidity and a super long finish. Serve it with a slight chill, and pair it with any of our wagyu.

One more to come. Find it on the list at Blackbird.

02/11/2026

If you’re asking us, this is the order: warm cured Ōra King Salon, steak tartare, and a bottle of 2025 Lethbridge Pinot Noir on the table.

29/10/2026

Will is back with three discovery wines, a bit off the beaten path and worth trying next time you’re in.

First up, the 2025 Lark Hill Grüner Veltliner from the Canberra District. It’s a vibrant, savoury white, think freshly cut grass and herbs, ripe pear and fig, a bit of beeswax element, and Grüner’s trademark white pepper.

Two more to come. Come and try it at Blackbird.

28/10/2026

Dine with Blackbird, perfect for any occasion

26/10/2026

The Riverside Soirée, our cocktail party in Blackbird Bar. Celebrate the race that stops the nation, at Brisbane's most iconic waterfront destination.

22/10/2026

Melbourne Cup with Blackbird. Choose between the Riverside Soirée, our cocktail party in Blackbird Bar, and The Cup Luncheon, a 3-course indulgent feast, both accompanied with 3.5 hour beverage packages, and all the race day action!

21/10/2026

Last of the rosés, Will finishes this round with the 2024 San Salvatore Vetere Rosato from Campania in Southern Italy.

It’s made from Aglianico, a grape that usually goes into big, bold, tannic reds. Here it’s pressed off the skins quickly, so you get all of Aglianico’s intensity without the grip.

That’s our three rosés. Come and find your favourite by the river at Blackbird, and stay tuned for what Will’s pouring next.

19/10/2026

Honey Bugs with finger lime & shallot mignonette. If you haven’t tried these yet, what are you waiting for?
