We love Blackstone, though I DETEST smoking in restaurants. Â I certainly hope our area catches up to surrounding towns in this matter. Â
That being said, the beer selection is VERY impressive. Â The pizzas are good, but rich. Â I would love if they served some lighter fare. Â Additionally, this would be a PERFECT Irish pub, so I would be thrilled if they took their food in that direction. Â A great burger, shepherd's pie, etc would totally work in this space. Â
Eliminate the smoking, and tweek the menu and this is the best place in town.
The only reason I can't give this bar 5 stars is the lack of handwashing i witnessed behind the bar... One of the bartenders was playing with her chewing gum and then reached into the jumbo jar of olives for someone's martini... gross.
Other than that, I love Blackstone... they make a delightful "grateful dead" and have excellent pizzas. Live music most nights of the week & a low or non-existent cover charge make this one of the best places to spend an evening in Gadsden. Good stuff.
