Blackbird Tavern 41958 5th Street, Temecula, CA 92590

"Me and my bf stopped in for a cocktail and apps before dinner. We sat at the bar top but the outside seating looked very nice also. I ordered a speciality cocktail- I don’t remember the name but it has vodka and a fruit purée- it was delicious ! My bf got a beer. We also shared the loaded steak fries and they were DELICIOUS! They had melted cheese, steak pieces and thousand island. The menu is smaller with some salad and sand which options. They had some other entrees as well we will definitely be back to try !"

"It's a great location with hip decor. Food was ok and service very good. I would consider the bottomless mimosas if you have a ride. Went early on a Saturday and it was quiet. I think night time would be more lively. Great outdoor scene."

"Blackbird Tavern is located in the beautiful Old Town Temecula between Riverside and San Diego counties. Because of its location, parking is hard to find. We found street parking up the road and just walked down to Blackbird Tavern. This restaurant is huge and perfect for large groups. A section of their patio has lawn games/toys like cornhole (bean bag toss) and another larger section with two bonfire pits. They also have a stage so I’m sure they have entertainers performing here. Very cool space actually. Inside they have a huge bar and indoor dining. Outside they have plenty of benches for outdoor dining. And plenty of space if you just want to stand or walk around. It has a pretty awesome vibe here with loud but enjoyable music. I’d say that most patrons that were here were around their 30s/40s - and I saw some families dining here too. The food here is pretty good. We ordered a few cocktails and appetizers. The Island Style Ahi Nachos and Spinach & Artichoke Dip were both delicious crowd-pleasers! And the servers were very attentive. He came around many times making sure we got what we needed and asked how the food was. Overall, really awesome place with to celebrate with a group, play a couple games, hang out by the fire pits, drink, eat and be merry!"

"Great place for the whole family. Came here with two kids and had plenty of options on the children's menu, although the prices were only marginally cheaper than the portions are much smaller. The staff was super friendly and the portions for the regular Andres are fairly substantial. Ordered the salmon lox and the chicken and both were very good. I saw the nachos and the salads at other tables and go-to fomo as they looked massive and delicious. I love the retro antique theme going on throughout the place, and really enjoyed our visit."
