highly advise people to not work here. they never keep the beer stocked for the drivers to do their routes. they will tell you things like giving you more hours or how you’ll be part time and when it gets busier you’ll be full time. when on deliveries all the accounts never get the right products because sales reps always mess up the accounts orders so most orders will be refused or accounts will keep them and have sales reps come in and fix it. sales reps always put beers that haven’t been sold for months on manifest sheets to be picked for drivers. you’ll get yelled at by accounts for not having the right product when it’s sales reps jobs to have the right stuff for us to pick before we leave for the day. tap room is a great place to hangout and have fun and is very clean all the time just highly advise people to not work for bent water doing deliveries.

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

This place is great. Excellent beer, something for everyone. Sure - it would be nice if they had a food license but that’s a whole different ballgame. That being said, they do have some decent snacks and you can order takeout from other local places. I hear they have good food trucks often also. Cannot wait to do the tour some Sunday. The joint is clean, bathrooms are nice, and they have a very nice shuffleboard in the back, which we used (free) for couple hours. Nice view of the brewing and canning process no matter where you are. Staff was also very friendly and efficient! No reason not to go back.

Kind of random to be sitting in an industrial park but the staff is super friendly and the beers are great! Came for a bachelorette and they gave us a tour and really took care of us.

Best of class in all styles. Thunder Funk and Sluice Juice are the best IPAs I've had, Premium is excellent lager. Tap room is pleasant to visit.

Husband got the 12.5% bourbon barrel stout and I got the Baltic Porter 9.5%. Both went down extremely smooth, delicious. Staff were helpful, accommodating, nice, informative. We sat on the patio because we had our dog with us (no dogs allowed inside). Nice shade from the building on the patio outside. Only thing is parking is limited, but if you can find a spot (either in the lot, on a surrounding side street, or Uber) , it’s def worth it! Def going home with some 4 packs today.

This place is amazing! The beers are fantastic and the staff are out of this world. I'm not typically an IPA fan but I actually enjoyed their Super Sluice IPA. They have a nice variety to choose from which is ideal. Can't wait to come back in the summer for the patio and food trucks!

Recently moved from out of state and was looking for my new local "watering hole" Bent Water did not disappoint. I quickly found my go to IPA (Thunder Funk). The staff are fun, attentive and knowledgeable. It is dog and family friendly which is a bonus. You are able to bring your own food or order delivery! Similar to my previous taproom, they also have Trivia on Thursdays! Will continue to support and hope they are around a long while!

This place is great! The staff is super knowledgeable and the energy at this brewery is top notch. They have a very cool vibe with a shuffleboard and great seating. The beer is fresh and tasty. Sluice Juice is a must!

Food is BYOF or order take out.....no matter. Great team beertending. And quality offering. Was talked into the barleywine and certainly did not disappoint. Take a guess what 4 pack I left with. The taproom is a bit easy to miss but right off the Lynnway. We will be back for more!

This brewery was amazing. Really good service. Definitely when I get back to Boston. I will definitely be going there again. Awesome beers also lots to choose from.

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.

No parking the staff was not welcoming they stood by themselves no conversation rude and not the same . Liked the old staff which was very friendly.

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.

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

This a great place ... a little hidden but once u get in is an awesome spot in the area of Lynn. Customer service is great... and the beer variety is great too!!

Made the trek back to my hometown with a buddy who is looking to open his own brewery. So call this "market research." I did a flight of four beers, two aged in their concrete fermenter (something more frequently used for wines when they desire a mineral taste in the finished product.) I won't say they were my favorite, but they grew on me as I drank more of them. I also think that the more beers they run through the fermenter, the more subtle the minerality will get. And that will be a good thing. The Thunderfunk pale ale was excellent as was a beet beer made with Lynn-grown beets. Mind you, I hate beets, but this beer just uses the beet sugar as a fermentable. It's golden and very crushable. The tap room is great and features the neon sign from the Tic Toc Lounge, an old Combat Zone bar. They have the sign on loan from the collector for $1. He's a Lynn native and was thrilled about having the sign up somewhere that people could appreciate and enjoy it. I'm hoping that some other brewers find their way into the garage spaces that share the same lot as Bent Water and create a vibe similar to Industrial Way up in Portland where Allagash, Foundation and Austin Street are within a stone's throw of each other. We really enjoyed it and look forward to visiting again.

Great beer selection, something for everyone. Friendly staff and a bowl of pretzels while you drink. Great jam of a brewery tucked away in Lynn. Must try!

This is going to be our new favorite place. The varieties of beers and the staff willingness to educated us made it the perfect place to try "several" beers. Can't wait to go back.

I've gone to Bent Water a number of times and hope to see this brewery continue to grow. Very small Taproom and they are prioritizing growing the distribution network. No food, but they do have binders with menus for nearby restaurants that deliver and do allow you to bring food in. I recommend the IPAs and especially Sluice Juice, Thunderfunk, and Equivalent Exchange. Come in the fall for Boris as well!

Laura S.

Yelp
Great little space. Impressive list of very solid beers. Shuffleboard and old-school video games inside, and a nice seating area with cornhole outside (as long as you're cool with hanging out in a parking lot). Also, you can bring food in! Fun place to hang out.

The beer and service is amazing here! My complaint is open mic night. Beer, service, so great....but I guess open mic is out of the bars control

I was at a bar in Salem wearing a Thunderfunk shirt that my wife had bought for me and of course drinking Thunderfunk. When I was approached by John the head brewer at Bent Water saying thanks for the support for wearing the shirt and drinking their beer. He also bought my wife and I our next round. A little bit goes a long way. Proud supporter of Bent Water!

Love this place! Awesome atmosphere. They have shuffle board and cornhole. Open mic on Tuesdays and great brews. I love the Lady Vacay and Concrete brews. Down fall no food service there but they have a book of take out menus that you can order from! They highly encourage it! Matt and the bartenders are very nice and friendly!

Bent Water is one of my favorite spots in Lynn! Great beer and a great atmosphere! They do lots of events, including weekly pop-ups, live music, trivia, a running club, weekly beer releases, and so much more. Bent Water is dog and family friendly. They do not serve food, but you can bring any food you want and/or order takeout. If you love great beer and are looking for something to do, I would definitely recommend checking this place out.

I was looking for somewhere to kill a little time before meeting a friend, so I searched breweries north of Boston, and discovered this place. The overall vibe is welcoming and relaxed, comparable to most breweries, but stood out because of the local artwork on the walls and the large window behind the bar looking directly into the brewing facility. As you are enjoying a delicious beer, you can watch what is going on behind the scenes, and feel as though you are almost involved in the process. Luckily, the beer you are sipping as you watch this process does not disappoint as well. I ordered four taster sizes of IPA style beers, and each had its own well thought out flavor and balance of hops. I find it's rare that I truly enjoy all of the beers that I order in a flight, but in this case, I discovered the exception. While I just ordered various styles of IPAs, there are many other options available for those who want something else. For beer lovers, this brewery really delivers, and is a must visit on the north shore. For a random discovery, I was incredibly pleased, and would highly recommend Bent Water Brewing Company to anyone I know who enjoys good beer!

Stopped by this little brewery while driving through Massachusetts. Pretty good beer and everyone was nice.

I am so excited for Bent Water! I tried a pint of thunderfunk at Rollys. Yummy! Then i heard about the taproom....After hitting up the tap room (last night)and meeting Tiffany I am sure of the success. The place is AWESOME. Floor to ceiling windows give the best view of the stainless steel vats where all the goodness happens. The staff is beyond excited with this endeavor and you can feel that positive energy flowing from the minute you step in....get yourself a hat, Hoodie or t-shirt (the choices are all hanging on the east wall) and of course try every beer then choose which kind to bring home in a great jug! Good luck on your continued success, but I am sure you won't need it!
