The Western burger was absolutely life changing. Incredible. Thank you to our waiter who gave us incredible service. Didn't catch his name but we were so grateful for him!

Black Sheep is a go to for us for fantastic bar and grill food. They also make a wonderful margarita. They are participating in Restaurant month, so they are offering a few different Mac N Cheese dishes. I tried the Garlic Parmesan Jalapeño Mac N Cheese. Soooo good. Hubby had the Tri Tip, which is also quite wonderful. The bar is lively and fun, with friendly staff. Overall we just love to pop in there in the weekends.

Food: 4. Always wanted to try this place. Came by on a Friday around 2 pm. Place is pretty small and was pretty busy with some customers at the bar and most of the tables filled. It notes they have a patio but I forgot to check it out. I sat at the bar. A friend joined me and we tried their fish tacos with fries. Food came out timely and at the right temperature. Tacos were big and had a nice flavor. Service was very good. Ambiance is comfortable. I like this bar / restaurant. They note a happy hour Monday to Friday from 3 - 6 pm but I didn't partake of the offerings. Service: 4.25 Ambiance: 4 Value: 3.75

We recommend building your own burgers and Beefy Mac items. They are so good you have to try them. They recently removed the ribs from the menu. We went on a Monday night and it wasn't busy. Beefy Mac is our favorite. It has bit sized pieces of tri-tip and lots of cheese. The beef was cooked just right without being too chewy or dry. And the portion is big enough to share with everyone.

The size and the taste do not disappoint. Atmosphere is rather noisy but acceptable for a bar. Seating can feel a bit tight. There are a couole of tables by the window. Service is quick. Waitress is kind and helpful.

Used to come here when I was in college and truly nothing has changed. I moved away for quite some time, but just moved back in the last few years and black sheep is just as good as I remember it. The location is superb as it's downtown SLO near all of the other shops and bars. It is also a very popular place to come during Cal Poly graduation, as they open early for graduation like many of the other bars in downtown do. Inside they have a good amount of seating, as well as a nice long full service bar. They also have a really cool little outdoor patio as you walk to the back of the building, with plenty of room for a larger party. One of their specialties is mac & cheese, which you can order with lots of exciting different toppings. They also of course have an original mac & cheese, which is super yummy (and my personal favorite) and I just add bacon to it. They also have a wide variety of delicious burgers, salads, and wraps. They have a wide variety of appetizers which are all super delicious, including some of my favorites, like the brussels sprouts, nachos, wings and sweet potato fries. The service here is always great and most recently I came with a friend for lunch and our server was so nice and welcoming (I wish I'd gotten her name). Overall this place is a great spot to grab some drinks and pub style food with friends!

The best local watering hole in SLO. Good drinks. Great people. And amazing pub experience!

Pro tip #1: Their Mac n cheese pairs great with their beers! Black Sheep has a nice, small wooden pub look with mood lighting. They also have a back area which has fresh air and is a better area for friends who want to catch up after eating inside. Personally, all the cocktails taste great but my favorite would be the Black Cadillac and that's coming from someone who doesn't prefer Tequila. My friends and I each got a different flavor and played a game where each person tries all five drinks with their eyes closed and tries to name which it is based on taste. Highly recommend as it gets everyone in a fun mood!

If you ever had a fantasy of going to a friendly bar where, "Everybody knows your name" ---this is it!!! The cozy ambience is evident from the moment that you step in the door, where the British pub style bar and the brick interior provide a warm interior. Then there were the friendly greetings from every body behind the bar and from the servers, who led us to the charming back patio. We chose a table in the shade for the four of us, and took in the brick walls draped with ivy and twinkle lights while we perused the menu. I loved the scope of the menu because it offers pretty much everything you could think of to eat while sipping beer or wine. Creative pub food, with burgers, sandwiches, wraps, salads, build your own Mac n Cheese, and a great assortment of bar appetizers, like fish and chips and baby back ribs, as well as Mexican favorites, offer enough choices that I can see why people return here often. Our beer and wine arrived promptly and three of us ordered the same shrimp and avocado salad. We were all being healthy, and universally liked the beautifully seasoned grilled shrimp paired with the avocado resting on a bed of lettuce. We reminisced and caught up with each other, relaxing in the shady patio. The place reminded me of one of my favorite New York haunts, the Grammercy Tavern because it had that feeling of locals enjoying life in a place that was an extension of home! We lingered on after lunch, chatting away, in our new home away from home!!
