“ 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. ”
“ A wonderful place for a refreshment at the start of The Great Ocean Road.....And of course another of our brewery visits. The staff was lovely and welcoming and the whole brewery had a fun feel. We visited on a quiet Thursday lunch and I was driving so a small bevy for me. But the Pilzner was lovely. But we'd had Blackman's Brewery brews elsewhere and they are super tasty. ”
“ Tasty food. Super friendly staff and lots of indoor and outdoor sitting to suit your needs. Lovely beer too (of course!) ”
“ The brewery looked dark from the outside and we almost didn’t enter, but I’m very glad we did! We sampled 6 beers in the tasting paddle and several were among the best of their kind we have ever tried! The ginger beer and cider are also amazing! It is a very family friendly environment with a mini golf course attached and a sandpit outside for young children and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. We had lunch here having nachos and the chicken burrito bowl, both being very delicious too. I’m glad we walked to this side of town and ate here! ”
“ Blackman’s Brewery, Torquay — Real Ones Know First thing first: The beers at Blackman’s? Solid. Reliable. Good times in a glass. They’ve got a great range of craft beers, seltzers, and other brews to match whatever mood you’re in. (Cider girlies and seltzer kings, you’re covered too.) The food? Mostly Mexican-style dishes with a solid lineup of wood-fired pizzas. It’s good — keep you happily snacking between beers. The vibe though? Elite. Casual, relaxed, everyone’s welcome. Friends, families, couples, babies in tiny bucket hats — there’s space for everyone. Big indoor and outdoor areas, chill music, and a crowd that feels more “Torquay locals” Live music was playing when I went — such a nice touch. The staff? Laid-back friendly team. Quick service. Bottom line: Blackman’s Torquay is a place you come to relax, laugh too loudly, sip something nice, and forget about your to-do list for a bit. ”
