Good food and music, not a huge crowd so it's a great place to chill. We tried Wharf and Tonic East but both were ridic busy.
Had the wings (solid) and the nachos w/ chili (very hearty). Would definately hit this place again.
Came here a few weekends ago with a bunch of my friends during my friend's birthday celebration. The weather was pretty crappy outside, so this place wasn't too crowded. We were able to get a nice corner by ourselves and our server was a nice young Irish woman. There wasn't the largest selection of beers on tap, but we managed to make do.
Why only the 2 star review? As the night progressed, more people came in, and the young woman had to attend to other customers and then a young man came by to attend to us instead. He wasn't the most attentive, as we were charged twice for drinks that 2 people in our party had paid for before they had left. A shame, since the place was fine otherwise.
Each time I come here, I like this place more and more. There are a plethora of bars and pubs to choose from on 3rd Avenue but I like the Black Sheep because it is generally quieter and not as crazy (or full of tools) as some of the other bars on "Frat Row."
The bar itself is cool as it is lined with pennies and they usually have little Christmas lights hanging year round. There are at least 6-8 televisions and play all the Sunday football games, which is awesome.
Of course they have a full bar, but I wish they had a cider on tap like the nearby Bravest. The food is not bad for bar food, and over the course of visiting here for many football games, I've tried the nachos (huge and awesome), the wings (good), the mozzarella sticks (YUM!) and the sliders (OK). Pretty standard stuff.
Overall, just a great place to chill and have a good convo with friends.
Friendly neighborhood bar. Drinks had some lag time but overall not a bad experience. It's a favorite among the after work crowd
Mediocre 80s bar with mediocre 80s music. Terrible service. The place was empty, but the scowling bartender acted like she was doing us a favor by serving us drinks. Before we left I noticed a couple of bored employees waiting in the kitchen for orders, but the bartender never bothered to tell us they had food or gave us a menu. This place is like Cheers, if Cheers was run by a disagreeable female version of Norman Bates.
The Black Sheep is a standard pub. That's it. That's all there is to it. There's a bar and bar food. It's a little grimey looking inside but it fits the whole ambiance. The menu is actually pretty large for a bar with a big selection of burgers, sandwiches, salads, wraps, and finger foods. I had the Dubliner salad and chicken fingers and both were fine, as expected. The bartender was excellent and was really attentive given that she was the only one working the bar and waitressing at the same time.
The one thing that deserves a shoutout is the playlist. 90's music!!!
It's a cheap place to drop by after work if it's close by- nothing to make a trip for. The food is mediocre, atmosphere is dark and a bit musky. I just go there for the cheap drinks and buy backs. Music stinks.
they offer pitcher specials of shocktop / stella periodically which are nice. if youre doing food, I'd highly recommend the chicken pot pie, or if youre feeling meat, any of their burgers. the staff here is friendly and probably the main reason i come back other than proximity to my apartment. if you live in the neighborhood this is a good place to stop in after work, but i wouldnt suggest going out of the way for it.
