Black Water Bar is a vegan punk and metal bar, restaurant and live music venue in Portland, Oregon. Located on NE Sandy Boulevard, it shares the same building as Black Water Records, bringing the bar, food, venue and record shop sides of Black Water together in one place.
The bar is known for its all-vegan menu, drinks and punk-heavy atmosphere. It serves as both a restaurant and a late-night music space, with a setting built around underground music rather than polished mainstream nightlife.
Live music is central to Black Water Bar, with punk, hardcore, metal, garage and other underground bands appearing on its stage. The venue has also been known for all-ages shows, giving it an important place in Portland’s punk and metal scene.
Black Water’s history goes back through several Portland locations before the move to NE Sandy Boulevard. The current setup gives the operation a broader form, combining vegan food, a bar, live music and direct access to Black Water Records under the same roof.
