Just love the luxury of having the lastest release poured for you inside a brewery in a prime location bell st torquay food to match-to die for. Get the v.line to marshall and catch the local 50 or 51. Drops you in bell st
Amazing food, best kids fish and chips we have ever had, light batter, not oily and actual fresh fish!!! Highly recommend if anyone is passing through, we will deffinetly make the 2 hour trip back. Staff were excellent and great atmosphere!! Well done Blackman's
We spent the weekend in Torquay and decided to do the brewery tour, small but informative. We spent all three evenings in the bar, fantastic beer and food was equally fantastic, plenty of it and we thought great value for money. The young ladies serving had great knowledge of the beer being served and we couldn't fault them. Coming from the an old brewery town in the UK we really enjoyed our weekend drinking Blackmans ales and will be back for sure and will be a place we will be bringing our UK visitors too.
Great burgers. Especially for vegetarians and vegans. It’s very rare that I can go to a hamburger restaurant and have a couple of choices and not just a processed veggie burger. As for their hot chips, absolutely yummy. They were crisp and crunchy on the outside but lovely and soft on the inside. Their ruby grapefruit cocktail was pretty good also. I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending Blackmans Brewery Restaurant.
Love this place. Been there many times. Great service. Really nice staff. Yummy food. Highly recommend.

We loved this place, friendly staff, very good food & beer. Will be back! We had pulled pork with pancakes - amazing flovours together.
Great beer and those pizzas were yum!! Friendly staff and all table service. Sensational!
Never disappointed by the beer food & service. One of my favourite places to go with my family or with my wonderful fiancé
Fine beer, good food, nice people.
If you’re in Torquay, drop in, you won’t regret it.
Great food, great people, amazing beers!!! I’ve had them on tap and in cans and they are always quality beers.
Had a great meal - loved the pork shoulder. Good service and warm relaxed atmosphere - also good for kids
What a delightful place. Full of atmosphere and the staff were so happy it was a little concerning! No one should be that happy at work! Food was great and the fireplace cured my bad back. Outstanding!
Really good craft beer, great atmosphere, very friendly service and a tasty pizza pepperoni. Pity that the t-shirts were sold-out ;)
Ask for the jalapeño slaw burger. Not listed on the menu, but available, and it's up there with one of the best burgers I've had-- I spent lots of time in the US last year where I ate lots of awesome burgers, so this is saying something!
If your down I Torquay and you love your beers then you have to busy the Blackman’s Brewery to taste the beers and have some food to go with it. They have some great options for beer. The service is excellent and very welcoming. It gets very crowded as it is very popular. We had some food to share and it was excellent.
Great food and wide range of beers brewed on-site. Very well presented and a stone's throw from the beach. A must-see for any beer aficionados!
Nice location, great seating options inside, outside, high, low, lounge. We shared onion rings, fish tacos (both mice but batter too heavy), chicken wings, pork pancakes between 4. Pork pancakes were good: 4 thin crepes, pulled pork (nice flavour but a little dry), fresh salad. Beer tasting paddle was what we came for & it didn't disappoint. Standout of the meal was the white choc cheesecake mousse. Generous size, with nicely toasted granola & thick jam. It was beautifully presented, flavours & textures went together so well.
Came here for dinner with my partner and we weren’t disappointed. We were greeted at the door and chose seats to our liking. Atmosphere was nice and the waiter was attentive. We ordered drinks within 5 minutes of sitting down, and food shortly after. We had the marinated olives, the chicken pizza and the pumpkin pizza which were all delicious. Nothing to complain about although the IPA beer I had was just a little too bitter for my liking, will have to try out the pale ale when we visit again!
Been there a few weeks ago with a group of friends. Staff was really lovely. Beer was very nice. Food was ok. My friend got the sliders which were nice. My beetroot salad was nice, presentation was great but not really practical to eat. Another friend got the seed salad but wasn’t very happy with it.
Blackman's beer is tremendous. While marauding down The Great Ocean Road recently, The Dear Luncher managed to stop in and sample some of it. Specifically their pale ale and IPA.
As for the food, a little bit of a let down. The chicken tenders did nothing to live up to their name. They were dry, miles away from tender. Blackman's pizza game also needs to lift. The tomato sauce base tasted a little too close to store bought and the salami used did not appeal greatly.
Food shortcomings aside, this regional microbrewery is well worth your time if you're in the area. Go for the beer if nothing else. This would be a terrific place to perch for a few hours and that's what a microbrewery should be all about.
Good spot. Beers are very good while the atmosphere is casual and fun. Staff are attentive and food is solid. I would certainly return for sure.
Excellent service and great food, loved it. Great sharing dishes, pork and Salmon were amazing.
Enjoyed the pizzas as well. Kids loved the chips. We loved their beers, Bob and Ernie were the best. Thanks guys for great experience.
Delicious & fresh tapas food and house brews that are especially fantastic when shared with a few mates. Friendly and chill atmosphere. Great service.
Fantastic Beer. If you feel like a nicely brewed beer after a satisfying surf, this is the place. So centrally located and the prices aren't too expensive. Their Pale Ale and IPAs were clear winners. It was Saturday afternoon but the staff were well-trained and they made sure the drinks and food weren't taking too long. Food was expensive and nothing to remember about. Decor is nice and open/modern; I love this ubiquity of microbreweries across Melbourne these days.
Very impressed by this place! Firstly, we really enjoyed the beer and cider. Exactly as the menu described! The staff were fantastic - attentive, friendly and knowledgable. Being a Saturday night, it was very busy but you could tell the staff were doing their best.
We ordered the charcuterie board, chips and pork hock pancakes.
Charcuterie board was top notch - amazing blue cheese, quince paste, pate, black pudding etc. The waiter described each element when he brought it to the table which is always helpful!
The serving of chips was very generous and they were great! Crisp on the outside and soft inside, served with aioli and tomato sauce.
The pork hock pancakes were nice, but the meat was a bit too sweet for me.
Would recommend and hope to visit again when we're in the area.
Great service and great food. Satisfied with everything we ordered there. Highly recommend their apple stuffed pork loin with blue cheese and roasted maple pumpkin. A humble place with great taste 👍👍👍
Came with a group of friends, sat outside in the sun, drank lots of yummy cider and ate yummy food - what more could you want!! I had the ribs and slaw, it was delicious. The hot chips were great, loved the chicken tenders too. Husband had the burger of the day, which was also great. No complaints!
We ordered lamb bites, chicken pizza with corn, and chips. Overall it was a good experience. The lamb bites looked a bit different than what we imagined it would be but they tasted good. The pizza base was thin and crispy and while there's a lack of taste, it's still pretty good. The chips was great and probably what i enjoyed the most that night. I forgot to order their home brewed beer. The food first haha. But i'll be back.

Called in for dinner and sat in front of the open fire, started with a great pale ale beer. We then ordered a pumpkin spinach goats cheese and caramelized onion pizza, a Drysdale haloumi picked zucchini and mint Chilli and lastly and my favorite the sticky pork hock , wow all fantastic, good service and friendly staff , yes a good place to go !!!

We tried the tasting paddles and enjoyed the variety of beers they had to offer. Although 6 beers come on the paddle, they had 7 beers available, so squeezed an small sampler of their newest beer, which is much appreciated.
I'm used to experimental flavors and pairings, but I found looking through the menu difficult and confusing, especially the "share" section. For example, it was hard to imagine what "sticky pork hock, crushed nuts, pickled cucumber and ginger, pancakes" tasted like all together, let alone deciding whether I was craving it. We kept it simple and ordered the chips, Zeally Bay sourdough that came with cheese/beer dip, chicken tenders with harissa mayo, pumpkin goat cheese pizza, and a brownie type dessert. The chips were seasoned perfectly and there was something in the seasoning that elevated it from regular chips. The sourdough bread was one of my favorites as well with the dukkah, olive oil, and dip that we scraped clean from the bowl. The chicken tenders were good, but nothing special. The pizza was my least favorite; I didn't enjoy the toppings and my husband didn't like the crust.
Overall, I would highly recommend the beers and less so the food.
Absolutely love this place, one of our go to spots on a Friday night. Such a great atmosphere, happy and welcoming staff. Food is fantastic, my personal favourite is the Haloumi in the shared options. I highly recommend for a few drinks with friends.
Tonight's special burger, kangaroo with rocket, bacon and relish was brilliant (get over it you animal rights folk) and the cloudy lager very good indeed.
Lively atmosphere and good craft beer. We didn't order food, but it looked fairly decent and there were a lot of vegie options.
Will definitely be back....
Fantastic service, really nice brews and food is great, very tasty and different flavors. A little on the pricey side but well worth it. Great set up and good atmosphere! Will be back!
Great beer. Interesting food. A bit pricey on the food but it is usually very nice but quite basic for the price. Staff are usually good. A little noisy as the place echoes a lot. The industrial look. But its a brewery and the beer is very nice. So drink up .
Friendly and attentive staff but little communication meant that we were asked for our drink orders three times within 5 minutes from different staff. The food was pretty good, and all four of us left the restaurant satisfied. The prices seemed a little over the top though. It's a great concept with little competition in Torquay, but it just needs perfecting.
Friendly staff, excellent interior and energetic atmosphere. Food and drink was quick to come out. Everything was tasty and fresh, a great start to a weekend away in Torquay.
Awesome beer, food, location. Great value and very friendly service. I've recommended the place to all my friends. Keep up the great work !
Scath. Had a delicious lunch today. The fish tacos were delicious, as was the fried chicken and grilled halloumi
In love!. I can not write about the food but gorgeous and friendly staff serving easy to drink tasty beer & cider. What more could you ask for?
Yum yum pork bun!. What a fantastic experience! We went to Blackman's to try their beer and ended up staying for the afternoon! Children in tow we planned to make it a quick visit but as soon as we arrived the friendly waiter greeted us, showed us to a table and offered the kids paper and pencils, that teamed with the most delicious meals (the pork bun special was superb) helped keep kids entertained while we were given a description of the beers and settled into a tasting paddle, before choosing our favourites.
We will absolutely be returning and recommend it to anyone looking for a happy and tasty experience.
The beer is delicious and perfectly complemented with a variety of foods. I recommend the beer cheese, definitely a favourite. The staff were great and kind enough to provide a tour of the brewery. Cheers!
Great addition. We loved the pork buns and really enjoyed sitting in the sun with a delish beer. Attentive friendly service - we will be back for sure
Sensational beer garden. Spent a beautiful afternoon out in the beer garden. Awesome beer, great pizzas and salads, and a good time had by all. Great addition to Torquay
Loved the whole experience. The veggie pizza was on point: delicious and big enough for two. Drinks were good. Husband enjoyed both beers he ordered. The wine, not so much, thus only 4 stars. Don't mess with my wine 😂!
Fantastic spot. Food and bevs were on point!!! Definitely will be coming back, perfect place for friends and family. Outside they also have a beer garden which is also dog friendly!!! staff are also very helpful with recommendations for beers!
Came here for an absolutely magical lunch. Ordered the patatas bravas pizza, mushroom and pancetta pizza, homemade garlic bread and dip, crispy fried chicken, chips and mac and cheese croquettes. Mayne, they were all so good. Gah dayum the chips were sent from the man above, perfectly curated for optimal consumption. Beers here were also fantastic.
Awesome food, the smaller “snacks” make an great meal - chicken, broccoli and meatballs was heaps for 2ppl. And of course a great beer range with lots of seasonal rotating taps.
Great food, grilled broccoli was exceptional. The staff were nice and attentive. Beer was ok
Had a really enjoyable lunch here today after a swim at Anglesea beach.
Nice set up, with outfront, inside and beer garden seating options.
Good variety on the menu with the wood oven pizzas as the main show.
We decided on the southern style chicken, salt and pepper calamari, onion rings and the slow cooked lamb pizza.
Everything was very good and the kids pizza was wood oven and more like a main serving.
Being a brewery it had the beer choices you'd expect, I had 2 pints of the lager which was fresh and a top line lager.
Would come back for sure.
Fantastic experience. The beer, food and service was exceptional. Thank you Polly esp for looking after us, she's a vibe 🙌 🙃
Ramen restaurant in Torquay. Very pricy and it taste ok. Opposite of a caravan park, plenty of street parking always busy.
