Blackwater Brewing

We stopped by on 12/29/25 for a bite to eat before heading back into the city. I always like trying the smaller places as the food/service are usually the best. I was pretty disappointed in this experience. We ate for 3 people, spent $97.00 (no alcohol), and regretted every cent spent. We put our food order in and got one of our appetizers and finished it before we even got our drinks (sodas). We had a pretzel with the beer cheese. Pretzel was good but beer cheese was cold and was chalky. We also got wings, they were pretty good but questionable on price. We ordered “the duke” meat lovers pizza and we watched it get put in the window as it got super cold before making its way to our table. The pizza was burnt on one side, the cheese wasn’t all the way melted under the top layer of toppings

Our family loved Blackwater! The food was SO good, the drinks were great and the service was fast and friendly. Michael was our server. He greeted us right when we walked in, was very attentive and helpful. We’re excited that Blackwater has come to North Bend. We’ll be back and definitely recommend.

Wanted to try the new place in town. I placed a to go order for Cobb salad and a slice of cake. Spent $35 with tip. Was disappointed when I opened my salad box. Chef neglected to put the chicken in the box, used lunch meat ham and didn't cut the lettuce all the way through. Ranch dressing also very watery. Definitely not worth $18. Cake was good but also not worth $9. I did call and talk to them about the no chicken, they said they would refund me $3 but still wouldn't be worth the price in my opinion. There are better options in town, I won't be back.

I reserved tables for about 20 people for a women’s event Thursday, January 8. Sam was our main server and he was excellent! The entire staff were attentive and awesome to the group as well. Several people ordered food, and I heard only good things about the wings, pulled pork, and pizza. The food was brought out promptly and again the service was amazing! Thank you Blackwater so much for helping make this women’s event so special. I sampled all three IPAs, which were all amazing, but I chose the hazy IPA and I strongly recommend it!! Even though their menu is limited, they will make you any kind of pizza you want with the ingredients they have so if your vegetarian just build your own pizza.

I've been twice and I think that this will turn into a solid place to hang out. I appreciate the variety of beers. I've tried everything but the IPAs, and while the red ale and lager were my faves, there is nothing I wouldn't have again. Wood fired pizza and atmosphere was good. They are still working out the kinks in service, but everyone was super friendly and they can split the check easily.
