We went on Saturday evening for a late dinner. 5 of us chose mostly tapas dishes, and the food was good. The place was fairly empty, but we did eat late. Service was good and wine was very good

Great place to stop for lunch, the chicken pate with sourdough was lovely, and the pork with padrón peppers was mighty. The staff were really friendly and attentive. If all of that isn’t enough to tempt, come and have a look at some great Spanish cinema posters 😍🎬

The food was ok, we had several small dishes from the tapas menu, one or two dishes were very good, but overall, it was just ok. Abbey/Abbie was our waitress who did a fantastic job with our rowdy party, friendly and knowledgeable. I don't believe we'd go again. There was nothing special to make you want to go back, altogether a little disappointing.

Very disappointed in the Sunday roast dinner, roast potatoes seem to be frozen then deep fried, mash seemed to be frozen. Tables not even set , cutlery in a tin and sauces came in McDonald’s paper tubs. Always pop in for a drink but never had food. I won’t be returning for food.

UPDATE: Based on the company response, as already stated, the manager came over with an argumentative attitude and tone when stating they'd reluctantly deducted the £20 so when they say 'behaviour' I think they really mean their own. We had to be the ones to shut the conversation down by saying it was a miscommunication on their part. It wasn't handled well by them and the table that was next to us were not privy to the issue but were blatantly entertained by it, I'm sure if the manager was the same with them they'd have felt the same way. Original: Delicious food but disappointing experience with the manager and booking policy. Importantly, it was our second visit for a sunday roast, and it was just as delicious as the first time. However, due to the manager, we are put off returning. We called and booked a table the night before for a Sunday roast and said it'd be for 3 OR 4 people. I was told to pay a deposit of £20/£5 per person. Nothing was said of the terms of the deposit, and as is often the experience with any restaurant, I assumed the deposit amount would be taken off the bill at the end so I didn't enforce that I only pay for 3 people. On paying, because there were only 3 of us instead of 4, they tried to charge us the £5 for the 'missing' person. We refused to accept this as the table we booked was only a 4 seater (not as if we were taking multiple tables), I had said on the phone that there may only be 3 of us in attendance, and I wasn't told if there weren't 4 that I would lose that £5. The manager came over to speak with us. Despite taking off the £5, they came over to be argumentative and defensive asking with tone 'what would you suggest we do? Charge £50 a table, that wouldn't be fair. It's the policy to charge per head'. It was bad customer relations and very abrasive. It's not our job to come up with better table deposit systems and it felt like whatever we'd have said would have been shut down aggressively by the manager. Fair enough if we were a large group that needed a lot of tables in the restaurant but we were one 4 seater table. Could a single spare seat have been used by someone else? Does it also mean if a 4th person had joined they'd have turned them away if we hadn't paid the £5? I've never known a restaurant to penalise for one person like that. It disrupted what had been a good experience, and has really put us off returning. I felt bad for the staff as they had been kind throughout the meal and even after the confrontation regarding the bill. We didn't have an issue with them, we were frustrated by the policy that hadn't been explained and by the managers response. The roast was delicious and something worth visiting for. Just make sure that on booking you ask the staff what the deposit consequences are if they don't give out that information beforehand and expect the manager to be fairly confrontational if you aren't happy.

Booked a table for four, but unfortunately one of my guests couldn't join due to unforeseen circumstances. Spent £110 or so between the 3 of us, only to be told that Blacksticks would be retaining £5 of the deposit as one guest did not attend. I understand restaurants are struggling due to the challenges presented by the cost of living, but I found their attitude to be appalling given the circumstances. Their insistence on rigidly enforcing policy has left a sour taste in the mouth which like a used match, has quenched our love of Blacksticks. Better places on Monton Boulevard to dine without the side serving of bull... UPDATE: Response to my original review says it all really. Prepared to die on a hill for £5 despite receiving £110 of custom. Would have gotten the £5 back and more as a tip, if they had seen the bigger picture. Embarrassing behaviour

Disappointing Sunday Lunch. Mussels appertiser was very good but the roast beef Sunday lunch was very disappointing. The beef was dry and sliced very thinly. Similar to beef from a deli counter. Roast pototoes hard and seemed cooked from frozen. Definitely not worth going back and not worth £22.

Food was superb, ordered 4 items off the menu and each was exceptionally tasty! Cocktails were fairly priced especially given that they were very strong. Only let down was speed of service :(. Only 3 staff members on which though perhaps not fault of theirs meant we waited about 20 mins or so to have our plates cleared, and since we had plans a bit later on we didn’t want to risk ordering desert even though we really wanted one. Good place and with a little better service would be a definite 5.

Not been for a while since they changed the menu to solely tapas. Now they have the early bird menu back we decided to try it again. We were not disappointed. Nice to see the same staff there. It’s not a big menu but enough to choose from. I had the tempura cauliflower, the others in the party had the pate. Mains, I had the pork belly, 2 had featherlade steak and 1 had the seabass. Everyone was more than happy with the food. All said the flavours were excellent. Would definitely return.

A party of 5 of us went for the early bird dinner. The menu was good and very reasonable. I had moules, belly pork and creme brulee. The manager who helped us with the wine was friendly. The food was very good and, in spite of very loud music, we enjoyed the experience. However, the waiting on staff were very rude, often ignoring us when we addressed them and walking round looking surly. Nobody came and asked us if we had enjoyed the meal. I have been coming to this restaurant for many years, although my last visit was some time ago. I must say I would have to think hard before returning since the staff were so unfriendly.

Definitely worth a visit. The manager & staff were very good & lovely in all the right ways. I ordered the Feathered Steak, with Mash, carrots & bourguignon sauce. It was delicious, so much so I forgot to take a picture 😄 I enjoyed it so much & I wanted to try something else, so I ordered the Calamari. It was also very tasty. Some nice beers on Tap & the Oreo cheesecake I ordered to finish the meal off was equally delicious as its predecessors. A side of ice cream was a nice accompaniment. My only disappointment was that the cheesecake came in a glass jar & the spoon was big, so it wasn’t easy to get the pudding out. Especially as it was so yummy, I couldn’t help but want to try an get those last bits, but too noisy. I’d have preferred it on a plate or in a ramekin. I feel bad, because I hadn’t bought cash and forgot to tip when I payed on card - I do however hope this review encourages newbies like me to pay a visit. It was a lovely meal & service. Prices were good & the decor was comfortable, interesting & in excellent order. Thank you for a lovely meal & early evening.

Christmas day lunch. Food was very good, nicely presented and tasty. Pre ordered weeks before. My biggest problem was that you expect to not be rushed. We ordered coffee at the end of the meal which caused a little problem for the restaurant as they said we had to vacate the table in 15 minutes. To clarify, we were seated after waiting about 10 minutes for our table. The starters, which were pre ordered took 1/2 an hour to arrive. And then the coffee's took 10 minutes to arrive at the table. I feel that at Christmas they should not aim to turn over tables so quickly. There was no Christmas ambience as there were little to no decorations not even playing Christmas music. The crackers were probably the cheapest they could find. It was just an excuse to charge a premium and serve what they normally do. I would expect the meal and time spent in the restaurant to be a magical time, not a opportunity for the restaurant to make extra bucks.

I had inexplicably never visited before but had been wanting to. Booked a table for the Christmas get-together for me and a couple of friends. We had the early-bird menu; I had the mussels followed by belly pork. Both were superbly cooked. The two people who served us were great fun; the woman in particular (she had an authoritative air: owner? Manager?) was a one-woman ambiance generator. Fabulous all round. I'll definitely be back.

I attended a private party held at this venue and it was very enjoyable. The finger food that was brought around by servers was delicious and all the staff were excellent. The only issue I had is they have steps to get in at the entrance and the toilets are also up some quite steep stairs which I found difficult on the descent. Would definitely recommend though.

I visited here recently for a friend's birthday meal. The food was second to none. The portion sizes were good and the flavours were spot on. The serving staff also very attentive. The only downside was just how loud it was which made it difficult to hear conversation clearly on the table. However, that said, it may not be a typical evening as there was a hen party that had hired out the upstairs so on other nights this may not be an issue.

As we walked past the restaurant we saw that they had a board saying FREE TAPAS with drinks. We were hungry and wanted something smallish so decided to go in. Not our first choice of place to eat, as the food wasn’t great the last time we visited, but we thought we’d give it a second chance. After choosing our food, my boyfriend wanted to know about the free tapas with drinks offer they had advertised. He asked one of the waitresses who was very polite. She went away to ask the manager. We didn’t go in for free food, we knew what we wanted to order, we were just enquiring about the offer. This is where things turned sour. An older lady who I presume is the manager, could have come over and said…”I understand you want to know about the free tapas offer..”…. However she didn’t. No, instead she very rudely and abruptly interrupted my conversation with my boyfriend with “I BELIEVE YOU’VE GOT A QUESTION?”… to my utter shock at her rudeness and arrogance, I said to my partner that he should answer as I was so angry at this woman’s attitude, bad tone and manner and lack of service. She then abruptly told him that if we wanted the free tapas it’s only one dish they offer and we only get that if was order just drinks. She then walked off to which we both sat there in amazement of how disgusting we had been spoken to. We were on the verge of just paying for the drinks and walking out but we didn’t we stayed and bought food, which was OK. The pork belly was dry and the accompanying bean stew it came with, was as if someone had dropped a whole carton of salt into it. The bread with oil and balsamic - disappointing, as the condiments came in paper cups… not nice. So all in all, for mediocre food and a bad encounter with who seemed to be the manager, we definitely won’t be visiting again.

Lovely tapas food couldn’t fault it. Only problem we had was, it was like being on a conveyor belt, not sooner a plate was empty it was collected. Constant all the time we was eating. Young staff attentive more “over attentive”. It felt as though we was being hurried to eat and out. Not like it was i’m sorry to say. Staff were not allocated a few tables so staff were asking us same questions for us to say, we told other person. Not well organised like that. I liked it when you could have tapas but also just a meal. Would’nt stop me going again, but not so much attention would be nice, time to relax and eat.

Food was good and thoroughly enjoyed most of the tapas dishes we had. Don't think the tempura cod tacos work as a dish (personal preference) and the prawns were a bit bland. Meatballs and Halloumi were amazing though. Shame the menus and tables were all a bit sticky and it just felt a bit tired but would definitely return for the food.

Not a soul in when we arrived (the other bars and restaurants nearby seemed to be buzzing-that should have been a red flag). Woman behind the bar ignored us until I gave her no option but to stop doing whatever was more important than greeting us. She seated us and gave us the menus without asking what we’d like to drink. I had to shout across (as politely as possible given the circs)to her to order something and was told she’d be with us ‘in a bit’ and she carried on doing whatever really important thing she was doing. The first dishes we ordered arrived suspiciously quickly making me wonder if a microwave was involved. The meatballs were incredibly salty. Bread board was about 8 thin slices from two different and tiny baguettes. Beans that came with the pork were the nicest thing I tried. We spent over £120 and when bringing the final round of drinks to the table we were told we had ten minutes before we had to leave the table-the place was still more than half empty. If they wanted rid of us they shouldn’t have taken the order (it was only about 5.30-we weren’t at chucking out time or anything). When I pointed out the many tables still available the waitress informed me that our table was a special one that everyone wants - people must be easily pleased thereabouts is all I can say if that’s the case. Anyway, we won’t be going again either for the mediocre food or for the indifferent and contemptuous ‘service’. I don’t appreciate paying hard earned money to people who regard you as more of a pain in the proverbial than a valued customer.

I have been here before and I was amazed at how lovely the food was. Unfortunately when visiting again yesterday we weren’t as amazed. The meat board was not what we expected, very small and the meat tasted very funky. We had the meatballs which I had asked my friend had she added salt into them. The sauce just tasted purely of salt, not nice. The calamari was unfortunately the chewiest calamari I’ve ever tasted. We also had cod croquettes, they were average. Won’t be returning here as it’s not exactly cheap, gave 2 stars simply for the service.

Came for an impromptu late Sunday lunch after seeing some friends. Luckily they were still serving food around 3pm as other places weren't. We got seated quickly and all ordered starters and Sunday roast. Food was nice, though my lamb was slightly too salty and the cauliflower cheese was a bit tasteless, otherwise the rest of the food was good. Would like to come back and try the tapas options. The restaurant itself is quite cosy and small, so probably best to book ahead next time.

Nice restaurant in the heart of Monton. Came on a Sunday afternoon looking for food as other restaurants on the high street had closed their kitchens around 2pm. Got a table for four quickly and they took our orders swiftly too. We went for the roasts and various starters which were nice. I had the lamb which was good but I wish I had more considering the amount of sides it came with. I also ordered the creme brulée dessert which was tasty, the homemade shortbread was delicious. Overall, a nice Sunday late lunch although the music was a bit loud so it felt like we were all shouting over each other.

Blacksticks Restaurant & Bar Eccles 878303851 On our anniversary we decided to revisit this restaurant and checking out the menu on the website we booked a table for two. After ordering drinks the menus were placed on the table. It was at this point where the staff member pointed out that it was tapas, after I tried to order the short rib steak. If I had wanted tapas I would have booked in at a real Spanish tapas restaurant. Not the Manchester version! Although the portions were okay, the prices were a little expensive, e.g. £14 for a slice of short rib. At the end of the meal I asked for the bill and was asked if everything was ok. I said that the website could be clearer because there was no mention of the meals being tapas. I pointed this out to a waitress who rudely argued her point but to no avail. Each statement she made was pointless. She then rolled her eyes and looked up to heaven before ripping the receipt from the card machine. This was so rude and disrespectful. Fellow diners, please do not fall into this trap. The couple on the next table also had issues about tapas. It wasn't just us. Choose a proper restaurant not Blacksticks.

Not quite sure what the previous reviewer is on about. The top of the website says TAPAS BAR so must have trying to pretty hard not to see it, unless just looking for something to complain about.

We've always loved Blacksticks, and although it's sometimes felt like it's lacked a bit of identity, we've always enjoyed the food and quite liked that you had different food options. So I was a little bit nervous when we saw it had changed to just tapas, especially as we were taking family on NYE and didn't want them to be disappointed. We needn't have worried - the food was amazing! We ordered A LOT! And there wasn't one bad dish. In particular, I loved the garlic prawns and the mushrooms on toast. The short rib beef and mash was incredible too. But we'd have happily eaten all of it all over again! As always, the service was great and friendly. Only teeny tiny question mark would be the music playlist - random pop songs didn't really seem to fit with the vibe of the restaurant, but didn't impact the night at all. Can't wait to go back!

The food was amazing... I'm veggie and although there were few options, it was really tasty and I'd happily visit again. The only random problem was the music... Why was like a virgin playing loud?!

Lovely decor, nice staff and food selection but a little disappointing food quality and small size of portions with some food obviously taken from a supermarket Somewhere to come get fed rather than to make a special trip to.

Visited on a Saturday night with friends. Have been a few times over the years but definitely not as it was. Food was nothing to write home about and menu was very limited. Such a shame as used to enjoy our visits but unlikely to...

This place never fails to delight. Everything about it is lovely - the food (obviously), staff (friendly but not in your face) - the whole deal. It’s a place for a date, going with family or having a laugh with friends. Love it. Thank you...

We went here with friends last Friday. As usual the food was delicious and could not be faulted. Always excellent value. Very friendly staff. We booked our table for 4pm and the restaurant was almost empty which suited us fine.

My wife and I went there on Saturday night to celebrate a relations birthday, The meal was booked for 8pm, and we duely seated upstairs...The food and service was quick and efficient, prices we're reasonable and we all had a great time.... ( This was a party of 13)....only one small minor concern,. towards the end of the meal, our table was full of empty glasses and side plates etc ..and we all felt as though the waiter's could have cleared our table to allow us a bit more room for the desserts and birthday cake....this minor hiccup in no way detracted from the overall experience.....and we would gladly recommend anyone to visit.....

This was our first Saturday night meal out in two years. Always liked it here and would definitely return. We went for the tapas for the starters and main course, it was lovely.

The food was outstanding and the service matched. Nice setting and not sat on top of each other, which is not always the case. Starters were perfect, King Prawn Pil Pil for me and Mussels for the wife. Tasty and plenty of both, great start....

The food was delicious and the ambiance was absolutely superior . Wine selection was great as well . Possibly the best restaurant on this street way better than a lot of city center restaurants I have tried. Good job!

Selected takeaway Christmas Lunch and Blacksticks staff did us proud. Excellent selections and cooked to perfection. Quality equal to eating in the restaurant. Lisa was very helpful and accommodated our request to change from eating in to takeaway. Can recommend a visit to the restaurant.

A lovely place to have some lunch. The food, the staff and coffee are lovely and a cut above anything else in this area. A wonderful stainglass window creates a lovely light inside. Such a shame to learn it's going and I wish the staff the best of luck because they are all great.

Popped in for a quick lunch and to do some work on my laptop. The lady behind the bar was lovely and helped me find a spot to plug in my laptop, and even offered to put some music on for me. Good food and beer too.

Booked a table and waited over an hour before we got any food. Service was relatively poor. Don’t think the waitress cracked a smile all night and didn’t apologise when we had to keep chasing for the food order. She wasn’t happy when we didn’t pay the discretionary service charge and her attitude was quite poor. We split the bill between friends so when we got part way through paying she then said ‘you do realise you’ve still got £xx to pay don’t you?’ I said we weren’t paying the discretionary service charge and she said we should have said before she’d started sorting the bill. What might have been best is if she’d have apologised that we didn’t feel we’d had great service and that they’d welcome feedback. Disappointed this time but never have been before so hopefully just a one off
