Fantastic spot to hit before a Woo Sox game.... Waitstaff was attentive, and the food was delicious!

Eh! Not sure why the 5 star reviews. Maybe the fact I came in at 9:30 on a game night had something to do with it. Or maybe cuz I had just left Redemption Rock! Either way I Ordered a Kelly2 beer. Not a juicy or hazey beer. Decided to tuff it out. But ordered beef on Weck. Had high hopes as you never see this in Mass. it was rather mediocre maybe I have high expectations from my upstate NY days! tots were hot but kinda ad that time to change the fry oil taste! Service was great and the bartender was certainly ready to get me a new beer so I can't complain. Maybe I give them another try at some point but not exactly the brewery experience I had in mind. read more

Excellent brews lots of choice blood orange is best around. Pumpkin beer best my wife had 2 Will definitely be back read more

Great selection of good-tasting beers and a nice environment but our margarita pizza was not good. The crust was very dried out. Almost like it was reheated and not fresh. read more

Went here for a beer after the WooSox game and was pretty shocked at how annoyed and rude the bartender was. We checked to see what places were open after the game to grab a beer and we're happy to see the brewery was open until 11. We got to there at 10:15 and as soon as we walk in the door the bartender says to me, "the kitchen is closed" and nothing else. My husband and I told her that was fine we weren't looking for food just a beer, so she handed us the beer list and said nothing else. We were very uncomfortable and a little confused considering everyone in the bar also had full beers and the bar didn't close for almost an hour. I noticed that anyone who came in following the game was also given the same attitude. I'm disappointed because we really enjoyed the beer but will not be returning. read more

Great food and excellent service. The management was very welcoming. Nothing fancy, but a great stop before or after a WooSox game. Give it a try! read more

The best beer and tap room in central Massachusetts- been a few times and they have consistently delivered great beer and food. Even through Covid-19. The fest beer and bling seltzer's should not be missed. The tray nachos with homemade chili are so good! The chicken sandwich is the best I've had in mass. Finally if you are not a keto fan, the pretzel with homemade mustard cannot be beat. Will continue to support this amazing tap room and enjoy it all! read more

My brother and sister in law have a beer podcast (Double Hopbeat Podcast) and recommended this place. The place is awesome! They have the tables separated for COVID safety, the food was quick, fresh and delicious, and the beers and seltzers were excellent! We would definitely come back. read more

Came across this little gem at an Ice Hockey game. It is attached to the arena in Worcester. Had an hour to kill and got a table outside. Greater by a nice waiter that took our drink order. At first we were going to eat but as we saw food coming out to other tables that changed , everything looked great. We went with the charcuterie board. It was delicious everything so fresh and the presentation was great. This is a must stop at! Great beer, great spiked seltzer and great food! So glad we found this place. read more

I really like this place. Has a unique atmosphere and setup and the staff is friendly, works hard, and very accommodating. The beer is really good, too, at is the hard seltzer. The food that I've had there has been mostly really good for a bar (not a dig, but the kitchen is understandably not their primary focus as a business), though the mac and cheese my girlfriend and her friend ordered there recently was sent back for being bland and flavorless. I haven't seen that dish mentioned in any other reviews here so maybe it's the one thing they just don't do well. Maybe a different recipe is in order, or more butter or more flavorful cheese blend? Either way, everything else was great! read more

Amazing food beer and entertainment on weekends. They have a large tap list and the kinks are all worked out a year after opening! Highly recommend this place to anyone in Worcester area. Try before and after a Woo Sox game this Summer! read more

Clean atmosphere, great service, and the beer flight was phenomenal! Will deff be back read more

It's true when you go out, the staff is everything. The first time we went on open mic night our waitress was terrible! ! Looked miserable, seemed like we were bugging her then sat with another table that was their for open mic night the entire time without barely checking on us. Then we went again with friends since it's dog friendly and our waitress, Steph made us View the brewery entirely different. She was fast, funny and very tentative. People like her are why restaurants gain regulars. We would go back only to have her. The beer was also Very flavorful. read more

Went last night and I was very impressed! We only got drinks but the beer was great! They are served as a liter or half liter. A good variety of choices too! The upstairs over looks the ice area. I will be back! read more

Such a great find! Beer sizes are liter or 1/2 liter so come prepared to drink, but the selection of beer is great! For food, we tried the goulash and schnitzel from the Octoberfest menu (I believe the menu is available until Oct 30th) and the Reuben from their regular menu with tots and everything was AMAZING. Food came out quick and the service was incredible. Can't wait to come back! read more

Great beer, friendly staff- awesome outdoor seating! We had the Sinshine and the Hoppy Dreams (we always drink Becky Likes the Smell so we wanted to try others!). The pretzels was just okay. I probably wouldn't order it again but I would certainly come back here again! read more

Poor service. Ever sit in a restaurant and wonder if you were wearing a camouflage suit while all the wait staff gathers and socializes? If you like that feeling as a customer, this is your place. read more

Awesome! It's so great. The atmosphere upstairs is so lively. Great selection. Only had beer - no food so can't comment on the food. Go check it out!! You will be back. read more

Bay State Brewing - One part of the brewery looks over the rink - Breweries Near Me - Worcester, Massachusetts

Food was great. Got the nachos, wings, and big ass pretzel. But the real standout of our outing was our waitress Jess, wowowowow.... What a killer waitress. Damn near blew my sox off, kind courtesy on top of everything. Great with small talk and making us feel welcome. Even played Jenga with us. The motto of the place should be come for the food stay for the Jess! Hahahahaha. read more

An excellent steak tips sandwich and a couple of great beers. What more could you ask for? Oh, how about some great service. If was a quiet Tuesday, but a really good meal that hit the spot. read more

Omg awful staff not even busy 4 girls standing around looked right us 5 times had to finally flag someone down which they didn't like ans told all the other servers so they all Lowell's over and stared at us. Awkward we waited 10 min for someone to come over read more

Surprisingly excellent food for a brewery. More choices than the standard soft pretzel or hot dogs like other brew pubs. Smoked buffalo chicken dip is superb. Love the variety of beers. More than just the usual IPA's. Highly recommend! Upstairs bar will be perfect for football and March Madness. read more

GREAT atmosphere with amazing staff. Food was yummy (the giant pretzel was my favorite) and the beer was even better. "Pitches" is my favorite beer they serve! I highly recommend! read more
