On a bar hopping night, my first stop was Blackbird at the southern end of KK. It had a sparse crowd on Valentine’s Day, but I struck up conversation with an older couple who were headed to Hungry Sumo for dinner. The bartender was gregarious and knew a few people sitting at the bar. He was friendly enough towards me but drawn to the couples he knew. Amazed Blackbird had a Mezcal cocktail on tap as Mezcal isn’t a favorite of the average Milwaukee drinker, I found it too sweet, but the smoke came through. Blackbird’s decor echoes a thousand other Milwaukee bars. You could be anywhere within a 100 mile radius. Blackbird’s a nice bar, but wasn’t particularly distinctive.

Blackbird singing in the dead of nightTake these broken wings and learn to flyAll your life. You were only waiting for this moment to arise. Blackbird is one of my favorite beetle songs. It always inspires me and makes me happy when I listen to it. So thanks to the word association, every time I pass this bar, I want to go in. Last night I did. Thursday is 5$ old fashioned. So I had a brandy, whiskey and sweet and sour. All yummy, but whiskey was the best. The bar is decorated with fun decorations, including a photo both and vintage beer going back to the 50s and a lot of pinball machines. My favorite was the Foo fighters. Becuase Dave Grohl is the man. So fly this way and stop on by.

Cute place, but smoking on the patio kind of ruined the outdoor space.
The bartender didn’t acknowledge us and was rude when we finally got her attention. The bar wasn’t busy (there were open seats at the bar and open booths) and after we waited 8-10 minutes, she waited on the people who had just walked in the door. When we said we had been waiting and the people she was helping had just walked in, she told us that she would “get to” us. Annoying. We left without ordering. It was a Saturday night and obviously the bartender was not competent to handle even the small crowd that was there.

Blackbird is our go to. Staff is always friendly, beer selection is awesome and the atmosphere is one of a kind. I've had one of the best bourbon old fashioned sours of my life here. So good. Patio with the beautiful mural can't be beat.
