A mainstay of the Funk Zone, Blackbird offers an iconoclastic, upscale take on your favorite flavors that pays homage to the culinary bounty of the Central Coast. Our coastal location allows Executive Chef Travis Watson to bring you the best of both land and sea. Enjoy inventive cocktails by legendary mixologist Devon Espinosa alongside an extensive list of local wine and craft beer that highlights the terroir of the region. With its striking brass fixtures and black box-like aesthetic, Blackbird upends the conventional upscale dining experience in Santa Barbara and offers a subtle nod to Alfred Hitchcock’s haunting, yet timeless thrillers. Here, guests are offered a pulse on contemporary Santa Barbara.

Blackbird is accessible. For more information, please view our Accessibility Statement.
