Blackstone Irish Pub

Attended a group function for 50 last night and wow, were we impressed. Lots of different beers on tap and by the bottle. Twisted Tea on tap? Yes indeed. Fabulous jukebox offering everything under the sun. Super atmosphere.

Our group had a buffet dinner with an appetizer course (calimari, wings, fried pickles, and stuffed bread) and an entree course (Shephard's Pie, Reuben Sliders, Irish Chicken and Potatoes. and Scalloped Potatoes. The food was stellar, really -everything was outstanding. The chef came out to check on us and see how we liked the food, he was a nice guy and was obviously proud of what he cooked for us. Our server who ran around restocking the plates and silverware was cute as a button, with a personality to match, and was very efficient.

Room for improvement? It would have been nice to have more than one bartender all night. For long stretches there was just one bartender for our thirsty horde.

All in all - we liked the place a lot and have received many e-mails from our group saying how much fun they had

Cold bar, Cold beers good selection too. Bartenders are good too and stay on top of taking the air out of your glass. Had some good bar food too...try the deep fried battered pickles! I know, it sounds gross but they are tasty! They also have a 100 inch projection TV with a pretty good picture.
Watch out though, its in a strip type mall and set back...very easy to pass.

Blackstone is meh. I went here to hang out with friends, because they wanted to watch the Dark Saints band play. In some regards it reminds me of another Murphy's & Scarletti's (Farmington) and the likes of those. They have some good beer in bottle like Dog Fish Head. I guess it's a decent venue for up and coming bands to play.
