Guessed from reviews
2/5 · Mild background · guessconfidence: mediumMultiple reviews emphasize a 'laid-back' and 'great vibe' atmosphere, while one publication note mentions the venue hosts live music events ('explosive set'), suggesting mild background noise rather than conversation-friendly quiet or elevated volume.
“Yum! We stopped by Black Water for a drink and lunch and found our new favorite vegan eatery/bar/record store … Ect. The Dragula drink was awesome. Cranberry vodka and fresh squeezed lemonade … not too sweet, absolutely delicious. The food was awesome! We had the Chicken Sandwich…”
“This place has a great vibe, very laid-back and friendly with cute animal videos on the TV. They serve tasty comfort food with generous portions. I especially enjoy the weekend brunch. The crab burger special they had recently was also excellent.”
“Forty Feet Tall closed out night three of PDX Pop Now in Portland with an explosive set, live at Black Water 8-24-22. See More » · Whisper Hiss was anything but quiet on night three of PDX Pop Now in Portland at Black Water 8-24-22. Super fun show.”
“I remember spending time in the building when it was Laurelwood Brewing and along with tasty food and drink, and it could be quite loud. I also remember it being pretty family-friendly—no punks or goths were seen.”
“Vegan food. Nice bartender. Chicken didn't remind me of chicken though. The sandwiches needed more bread. The wings were outstanding 👌”
“My first time at the new Sandy location. So glad they're expanding! Fantastic vegan dive bar food menu, 18 taps, great drinks. New location has 5 pinball machines too!”
“Great place with great food and drinks. First time eating here since they moved locations. Absolutely love the Philly Cheese Steak and fact they have an all Vegan menu. Us vegans need to try to support our fellow vegan restaurants as much as possible.”
