Bent River Brewing Co

Fun and flavorful spot! When the weather is nice I enjoy the outdoor seating. They've got some great craft brews and a solid menu. I was pleasantly surprised how much I enjoyed the Cauliflower Buffalo bites. The fried green beans were good, though none of us liked the peanut sauce that was served with them. I like the pepper slaw used on the Nashville Hot Sandwich, though overall the sandwich wasn't nearly as spicy as some I've had.

One of the best restaurants in the Quad Cities! The food is absolutely amazing. They have a great kids menu. We tried the brisket wrap and the bbq pulled pork wrap, both were fantastic. Great beer selection! We tried the Triple Berry Trifle Sour and it was so refreshing. The service here is excellent; our server was very nice as were the others that we interacted with. Can’t recommend this place enough!

Go where the locals go! We landed in here and found some great brews. My fave was the ice cream sandwich stout barrel aged for 18-months with an ABV of 10%. The Nashville chicken sandwich with the spicy slaw was very good. Lots of heat. I would definitely order again. Let us know if you ever start shipping to Texas!

Great food, great portion sizes, great service. Lots of local beer selections. Menu is huge with awesome apps special and great burgers. Dining area is huge with lots of room to sit and atmosphere is great.

Menu items pictured include the Turkey melt with sweet potato fries, the BBB burger with sweet potato fries and the chicken basket with AWESOME honey mustard 👌

Definitely give this place a try. Food prices are consistent with all other restaurants in the area with the current inflation.

More than a decade ago, I spent time at Bent River at least once every one or two weeks. Friends and I would get together for dinner on Wednesdays somewhere, then end our night either at the Bierstude nearby or at Bent. I really liked the Mississippi Blonde and the Sweet Potato Ale back then! On a particularly lazy Saturday afternoon, I was craving a burger, and so decided to drive across the river and revisit some of those memories, albeit alone and on a day where I normally would stay in or got to work back then.

The patio is much as I remember it, though currently packed up for the winter months. Large concrete slab, outdoor tables and chairs, all directly accessible from the walkway and drive behind the restaurant. I talked a little with one of the employees out for a smoke break, who echoed the notion that it was too cold to dine outside currently (even though multiple people had enquired about this recently).

The inside looks much the same as it did more than a decade ago, as well. Lots of wood furnishings, large fermentation vessels behind the bar, and a variety of seating, both booths and tables, across the dining room. The floors are composed of a combination of ceramic tile and hardwood, while the overhead has black painted patterned PVC or cermaic tiling, as well. Lighting is pretty low, a combination of various suspended fixtures across both the bar and dining room, with the addition of string lights in some places. Though clearly a little updated since my last visits in the 2010s, its still a dark, chill place to hang out with friends and grab some beers and a burger.

I sat up at the bar alone and ordered a Mississippi Blonde, as well as a Gent Bent Burger with Pepperjack cheese and bacon. Gotta say, the burgers are a bit fancier from the days I remember coming here for the $3-4 baskets. It's a good thing, the burger was tasty through the entire meal and is something I'd definitely return here for in the future. The beer tastes pretty much as I remember it, as well, though I don't drink nearly as much at this stage in my life.

I'd come back here again for a meal and a brew. Perhaps sometime in the warmer months when the weather has warmed up a bit more? It's a fun place to just chill for a while. It was back then, it still is now. Thanks, Bent River!

Excellent craft brews and food..

Great service, nice peeps

Staff is always very friendly, and great with suggestions and recommendations. THE BEST PLACE IN THE QC FOR FISH AND CHIPS!!! And lets not forget the impressive choices and quality of the local craft brews too! All in all this is my favorite place to meet up with friends.

SLAYINNNG THE GAME! This place is the place to be. Bumping music playlist. Great food. Fast as f#ck service. If you want good food, come here. Great brews as well😊 🍻

My husband and I had the fish special on Friday. The cod was awesome! Our server Debbie was amazing also! We will definitely be back!😊🐟🐟🐟🍻🍻

An absolute gem with excellent beers, great plates, and fantastic atmosphere. The staff is very friendly and the food was fantastic. I recommend their side salad with the smoked BBQ platter, but I think the whole menu looks delicious. Can't wait to go back.

Incredible brews and food, this is an amazing place to spend some time with friends and family who enjoy great food and drinks, my partner doesn't like stouts but even she likes their stouts here. Would absolutely recommend

Super wow! Absolutely delicious veggie burrito. Asked for jalapenos and salsa, and they added no charge. Took great care if my order, and got it delivered by Uber Eats 20 minutes ahead of the estimated time. Delivery fee, cost for the food and service, you will have a repeat customer!

My waitress Kelsey was incredible. Kept my glass full and had the most incredible smile. Highly recommend the food.

Bent River is always a great place to go to for food and beer. The Uncommon Stout is always a great standby if you like a darker beer with coffee. I always get one when I go there. They also have a great menu with burgers and pub food. They have locations in Moline and Rock Island. I would recommend either location when you are in the Quad Cities.

UPDATE: it's been about 4 months but came back up here for work, and there are a ton of new beers to try. Love the rotating taps, and the food is as good as ever.

Great little Brewery in a nice little town. It was a bitter 19 degrees on my walk from the hotel to this place, but worth every shiver and possible frostbite. Great atmosphere, food, and most importantly, beer. I like the variety of seasonals available while I was here, and it gives me just another reason to stumble back here in the future.

Great atmosphere. The staff was very friendly. The food was good. I would recommend this place for drinks or food.

Usually I only stop for beer and have for years but the food has continuously gotten better year after year. Had an amazing burger today, the Carolina with sweet potato fries. Also got Pub Bread for an appetizer, was an amazing lunch with great service!

Pickle chips were NASTY! Like they used the neon on green foul tasting pickles instead of quality crispy ones. Cheese curds were great. Buffalo cauliflower were good as well. Not super spicy but whatever. Iced tea was super weak it was like brown water. How ever they brew it they should be doubling up the bag.

Friendly staff, good hot food. Will be suggesting to my crew, and I will be back for dinner tomorrow and the next day.

Bent River is the beacon I call home. Being the top 10% on brewery visits w/google…The shiz is as good as it ever was. Go! It’s a micro brew classic. Fried pork tenderloin is all that w/tots. Cheers!
