Entry
Troy S.

We were there in a Sunday afternoon, just before last call. The bartender was super friendly. Offered us samples. The beer was decent. They have some snacks for purchase. It's a garage/warehouse location, my favorite kind of brewery. Stickers and merch. Outdoor seating.

First off, Bent Water was a little hard to find, I had to do 2 laps to finally find the right right. I like the bartender, he was pretty cool and managed to juggle all the customers when I was there. Ate little snacks after my flight. These are my thoughts on the flights: Margarita sour - tarty, but light which I liked. Sluice Juice - usual, strong, IPA Pilsner - easy going down, but has a tobacco tasting kick towards the end. Pumpkin - learned I don't like pumpkin

Awesome brewery, great crowd and staff. Just a very friendly atmosphere. Beer was fantastic. Highly recommended

A couple flights

I recently visited Lynn, MA, for the first time. I ended up at an event (for Beyond Walls Lynn) at the Lynn Museum, where they were serving Bent Water beers. I enjoyed the one I had--and took note of there being a local brewery who was a part of a cool event. A few days later, I was looking for something to do, and it happened to be National Beer Day (at least according to Snapchat). Naturally, I told my friends we were going to Bent Water. We actually passed it when driving around; you should turn in where the pet shop is (or at least that's what we ended up doing to find it). Pay attention; there's ample parking, but some of it is weird. The brewery made us laugh upon entering with the height chart of famous celebrities. I think I was about the same height as Vin Diesel? :') We checked out the menu and decided to order flights to try a variety of beers. I appreciated the descriptions on the menu; they have a lot of information (and some of them made me chuckle). Additionally, I tried one of my friend's, and that one was good too. Plus, the kind man behind the bar brought us our flights to the table, which I thought was nice. I didn't explore the space itself too much; it wasn't huge, but it was a nice space and everyone seemed cool. If I lived in Lynn, I'd probably be here pretty regularly!

I really enjoyed visiting this place. I'd gone with a friend and sampled some of their beers before committing to a full glass. The bartender was super helpful and friendly. We conversed a bit with the bartender and talked about the history of the establishment as I personally love learning about the history behind brewery's. Just bare in mind they don't serve food but they do have an assortment of restaurant menus organized in a binder that do deliver to the brewery. It's a neat place to check out if you like beer. A nice place for a quick drink.

If I could give this place more stars I would. It's a small brewery it's just one large bar and some tables. So when the beer bus came in it's got pretty crowded but man it's worth it. All their beers are so tasty. The anniversary IPA was probably one of the best IPAs I've ever had. They have some snacks but you can get food delivered in. Come here if don't mind a no thrill brewery with very tasty brews.

Well I finally decided to visit this establishment. Was told that it is a private party and you need to leave. Well if the entire place was rented would not a sign be up advising potential customers that you can purchase anything to go. Very rude about telling me that it is a private GE party. Won't be returning or would advise anyone else to feel disrespected.

Beer menu of the day - wide variety

Adding themselves to the burgeoning brewery craze captivating eastern Massachusetts, Bent Water brings a hip new hang-out to Lynn. Situated behind a bowling alley and a gas station in a redeveloped quarter of garages and factory buildings, a requirement for any cool brewery these days, Bent Water has a comfortable bar area evoking an image of Night Shift in Everett. Beer brewing equipment is visible through glass windows behind a long bar. Tables line a wall opposite of the bar, with a few couches adjacent to a TV and a dart board. Bent Water's sheer selection of beers was impressive, and I decided on a flight to sample a fews. Some were better than others, with one downright terrible. I usually love Alt beers, but Altogether Now (a concrete Alt beer) literally tasted like i was drinking Quikrete (your standard concrete mix one finds at Home Depot). Jolene was a solid porter, which I could see myself drinking in the future. Thunder Funk, which is now sold in local liquor stores, was decent. I don't remember the last beer, but regardless for a new brewery and hang-out in Lynn, Bent Water does the trick. Hopefully the Lynn Ferry will be back up and running soon, and Bent Water may be the next great post-Ferry drinking hole.

Ideally 3.5 stars. One of the smallest breweries I've been too. It is basically just a bar area and you can see the brewery though glass. I wasn't a fan off all of their beers but 1-3 were pretty good. They ran out of "taster" glasses when I was there which was a little disappointing for a Saturday late afternoon. Bent Water wasn't bad but I just expected a little more. Go here if you are looking for a more low key brewery.

Love that Massachusetts has a variety of craft beer companies and yes weed is legal here lol. this establishment is off the lynnway with plenty of parking available. It's also had a live brand playing some tunes. The beer was great i enjoyed couple of flights and it was awesome I will came back

Meeting!

OMG the views are amazing…read more. Went right in the middle of their tourist season, yes its 2 months long at least and it gets crowded for a small village standard. this place has parking but its a first come first serve and it gets hard when everyone else is looking for one. Love the Lagers ( im a hazy Beer person ) but these remind me of my local brewery. Lovely owners, magagers, team players that make the entire trip well worth it. you can even bring your Pet. Now im sad i dint bring mine :( PS: i took some beer to bring back home and still have it in the fridge for that special occasion. Maybe have a collab with my local place, they make a mean Pumping Spice and Ocktober Fest

Fun outdoor bench area with gravel underfoot and views of the water, in addition to indoor seating…read moreoptions. Outdoors is dog friendly and I made some furry friends while sitting out for a drink! The German style beers they have on tap included some unique finds and some styles you don't see too often. Bartenders were very friendly and helpful when I was trying to decide what to get, as lagers and ales are not my usual go tos but made up the majority of the offerings. I got the Salem Ale, a helles style, in a half pour- I love that they offer this smaller size since their other glasses are absolutely massive! This was an easy drinking, smooth beer with low hops, just what I wanted for a hot summer day when I only had limited time to spend here. My drinking partner also enjoyed their selection, and we really enjoyed the location. Would love to go back, very chill vibes and the people there were all so friendly and happy, patrons and employees alike - a rare occurrence in Massachusetts!
