About this restaurant

Great for happy hour
Neighborhood gem
Great for brunch

Welcome to The Black Swan. Inspired by the pubs I fell in love with on my various travels, this re-interpretation of the neighborhood Public House represents an eclectic and updated take on the traditional pub. The Black Swan explores, embraces and combines various cultural influences to appeal to different tastes, offering unique and innovative dishes like Indian-inspired curries and pastas alongside more classic dishes like Shepherd’s Pie and Fish and Chips. I purposefully divided the restaurant into four distinct areas in order to offer something for everyone and I encourage all our neighbors to stop in at any hour, day or night. So come raise a glass with me at The Black Swan Public House, where everyone is Welcome. - Chef James

It was a busy night right before a long weekend. Service was very good albeit a little considering it was crazy crowded. We got truffle fries , fish and chips with a platter if hummus to share and it was delicious. Ordered blood moon drink - which was light, fruity and felt just right

Way too loud music for dinner. Food was ok and the pricing was too high for what you got. Crispy chicken sandwich $20?

Wait staff were extremely tentative, and the food is good. My Pimm’s Cup cocktail was spot on. The noise level is high, but if you sit in “the vault” that cuts it down.

For a Sunday Brunch I thought the band was a bit too loud, couldn't really hear myself think. Also I think the food has slipped since I originally went there. I had the prime rib carver and it was kinda dry and unremarkable. Service was great.

It was a nice dinner at the Black Swan. The wings and sausage roll was good. Excellent service. A bit pricey for pub food, the happy hour is a good deal but we missed it.
