Blackback Pub

My husband and I stumbled upon this place when we were visiting Waterbury for the weekend to celebrate our anniversary. This was our first meal in the area, and was a wonderful way to start our trip! The food was incredible, and they had some vegetarian and gluten-free options, which I need and hard to come by sometimes. The service was prompt and the staff were very kind and warm. We will definitely come back the next time we're in the area!

Vegetarian options: The salad was huge and fresh! And the chickpea fritters were delicious.

Great selection of beer and cocktails, service was typical of a pub. Very limited seating, so be warned, you’ll likely end up having to sit at the bar. The menu is a very eclectic Asian fusion style, with some twists on classics as well. really tasty. 😋

The Dragon Noodle special was quite good. Just enough heat to give one pause. Bartender upstairs did a great job. Altogether lovely dinner experience.

Made it here on the day/weekend they were celebrating their one year anniversary under new ownership/management. And wow is it a stellar operation! Owner was working the bar and keeping the energy high but every person working there was super friendly and helpful. Draft beer list is one of the best in town or possibly even the entire state. Food menu is also top notch with plenty of options that utilize quality local ingredients. The meatloaf sandwich was recommended and yes it was truly delicious. The shrimp were incredibly tasty, as well. Vibes can’t be beat, this is a must visit in Waterbury!

Wonderful food that made both a vegetarian and non-vegetarian happy and full. We enjoyed it so much that we spoke with manager, then the owner came over and introduced himself. We had a great conversation with him about the pub, the great craft beer choices, and the chef/co-owner's food and vision. We'll be back soon!

Vegetarian options: Too many to mention, and many also have a vegan option.

We arrived at a very busy time unfortunately. The bar was full and only five tables are in use. Wait was a quick 15 minutes. Food was great. Service was very good. It was worth the wait. Better yet next time we wait until 5 o'clock and go upstairs.

I'd give MORE stars if I could. Thank you for the wonderful experience last Saturday evening. Sorry about our kid being loud by the bar. She was very excited to be there, too. I'm glad we live closer now. The muscles and sausage were DELICIOUS.
