About Blackbird Tavern
Somewhere to sit down at the end of a hot day matters more in a village than it does in a city, where the choices run to dozens. Blackbird Tavern keeps its address at 629 7th Avenue in Keremeos, on the street that carries most of the traffic and most of the errands through town, which puts it within reach of anyone already in the middle of the village.
A tavern occupies ground somewhere between a bar and a restaurant, and the balance differs from one to the next. Some lean on the kitchen and welcome families through the early part of the evening; others are drinking rooms first with food alongside. The licence usually governs how late the kitchen runs against how late the taps do, and in a farm valley the room fills and empties with the working season as much as with the day of the week.
Call 250-499-0940 before you set out if any of that matters to you. Reasonable things to check: whether minors are welcome in the part of the room you want and until what hour, whether the kitchen closes before last call, whether a table can be held for a group, and whether anything is on that particular night, since small rooms in small towns often run music or put a game on a screen without much warning. If you are coming in off the road after a long drive over the pass, ask about late food service rather than assume it.
