Blackbird, in the Castro neighborhood of San Francisco, was our 3rd stop on a bar crawl. I haven't been to Blackbird since it opened in 2009. Within a nano second of viewing the cocktail menu, my research partner declared, "I want a Sumo Wrestler". Did I have the heart to tell it that Evan Williams was bourbon? Of course not because I wanted to try it too with the bourbon and yuzu(Japanese citrus). Wow, what a tasty cocktail. The yuzu adds complexity to this cocktail. You will find yourself pinned to the floor in the doyho ring with one too many of theis delicious Sumo Wrestler. Trust me, it's hard to stop at just one.
I love the tag line on the Blackbird website, "Drink like a horse for the price of a bird". That about sums it up. It will not take me another three years to return to this place. I love everything about it: the drinks, the crowd, the vibe and the savvy bartenders.
