About Blackman's Brewery Bar and Restaurant

Torquay’s original craft outpost pairs freshly poured house brews with crisp wood-fired pizza and vibrant Mexican snacks. An open beer garden sets a relaxed coastal tempo for shaking off the salt after a morning surf, welcoming both dogs and sandy footprints. Between rounds of tasting paddles and crisp lagers, the kitchen turns out loaded meatballs, tacos, and slow-cooked lamb pizzas alongside family-ready diversions like an outdoor sandpit and mini golf.

  • Beer Garden & Family Play: The beer garden welcomes dogs and keeps kids occupied with an on-site sandpit and mini-golf course.
  • Pizzas, Mexican Plates & House Taps: Locally poured craft beers, seltzers, and ciders share the bill with wood-fired pizzas, loaded meatballs, and tacos.
