    Sinshine hazy IPA and blood orange lager
    Amanda G.

    We were in Worcester on all day business and were starving by the time 5pm hit. And after what we endured that day we just really wanted a beer. I had no idea this area of MA was filled with so many breweries! Our criteria: -real food -good selection of beer -not racist **This third item was the actual dealbreaker bc multiple breweries had comments from Black folks and other patrons of color that said the businesses were not welcoming or downright racist. Actually while I'm up here on this soapbox I'm always looking at reviews for everything for indications of racism. It sucks but it's necessary and I appreciate folks who are honest about their experiences before I spend my Black dollars. OK I'm done. For now. Anyway. Back to the spot. My husband said I always pick the best places and Bay State was no exception. It's set up next to the (hockey?) complex and has a huge free parking lot. There's a choice of inside picnic table seating, outside picnic seating, or indoor bar seating. We opted for indoor seating. Bits, Bobs, and Fat Things -wood picnic tables were great. Very sturdy and tons of clearance between the bench and tabletop IYKYK -excellent beer menu. When I tell you every beer was delicious. I almost always choose the sour but theirs was a framboise so I opted for the blood orange lager instead. Woulda got a 6pack but since we decided to go up Montreal instead of home (see previous review) I didn't. Husband got the Sinshine hazy IPA. Both fantastic and served in deep steins. -food was excellent AND IT WAS 50cent wing Tuesdays. We got 10 garlic Parmesan and 10 honey soy. And an order of onion rings. Awesome all around. -waitress was friendly and efficient and kept us stocked with food and refills. I'll definitely be back - this was a great experience!

    Food was good. Staff were friendly, and very pet friendly! Fun atmosphere for families.

    We've been to over 25 breweries so far since we started this little adventure of visiting breweries early this year. Bay State is by far our favorite brewery. My husband loves the selection of beers here, this is the only place he'll get a flight because of their awesome selections of beers. I just love their mandarin orange hard seltzer, it is my favorite flavor here and anywhere else. Everything we have tried on their menu has been delicious and their burgers and pizza are our favorites. They don't have a large menu (and frankly large menus scare me) so everything is always very fresh and cooked perfectly. We also love the atmosphere in Bay State, great music and awesome servers too.

    I enjoyed the Mac and cheese and the no-no margarita! I also enjoyed how spacious the place is, there is plenty of seating. Also, our bartender was nice and gave good recommendations on what to drink.

    We dropped by Bay State to celebrate the end of a long week with a couple of pints. One aspect that sets Bay State apart from other breweries in town is there selection of German beer styles. Today I had their Hefeweizen which I thoroughly enjoyed. In the past I've had their Kolsch and Oktoberfest lager which were similar in quality. They have plenty of seating both indoors and a nice patio outside. The food is pretty solid - nothing exceptional though fits the need for keeping a full belly when throwing a couple back. Another favorite part of this place as you can order 1L beers in giant mugs - awesome! If you're looking for some solid beer and a nice afternoon, check out Bay State when you have a chance.

    Their Beer is great. There is none better than "Becky". We did not try food but atmosphere was good. Of Course had to grab a Tshirt.

    Shrimp and andouille sausage skewer. Delicious combo!
    Julia M.

    We really enjoyed ourselves. The Shrimp and Andouille Sausage Skewer is a great flavor combination. Live music with Amanda Cote and Johnny Blue Horn kept the atmosphere jumping on a cold winter night. The Cuttyhunk Hefeweizen was just what we needed to stay warm and cozy.

    First and foremost, learn from my mistake, don't go on a night when there's a game going on at the DCU as this is attached. That being said, we were able to get a seat and the waitress was very cool. They had a great selection of draft beers and seltzers. My favorite draft was the blood orange. Crazy good. We started with the large nachos and finished with a Chicken Bacon Ranch pizza. They were both good but not the best we have had. Do not let that turn you away, as the drinks are the draw anyways. They also had a live band, which was because of the size made it hard to hear. The band was talented however. Once the game started it cleared out nicely and it was a good atmosphere. They also have great specials throughout the week so give it a peek before heading out

    Are they dog friendly? Yelp says yes in the features, but I can't find it on their website. Anyone who has been know?

    Yes, they are very dog friendly!!

The record reflects that this brewery has been open for only 3 weeks. We didn't have high expectations because new breweries pop up everywhere, but let the verdict show I rated 3 of 4 beers I sampled a 4+ on UnTapped. The two head brewers were working hard. They were friendly and eager to engage with the courtroom patrons. The Worcester Mayor was even spotted on site!l (busted!) We approached the bench (bar) and ordered a flight to sample their 4 beers. There are currently 3 IPAs and a red ale. I don't typically enjoy red ales, but "Strict Scrutiny" was actually the favorite! I don't have any objection at this time. The atmosphere is the opposite of the cold scary courtroom, no judge is demanding silence. Acoustics are a little echoey, but it's packed so that is a good thing. Please remain standing, I am still under oath. The courthouse theme is reflected on the wall "you've been served" as well as on the beer tanks which are named after female Supreme Court justices! Poll the jury, and don't let the free pretzels sway your decision. We will definitely be back if I make bail. I have no further questions. I rest my case.

Big,…read moreclean, modern facility with indoor and outdoor seating. -- Patty Melt: Surprisingly willing and able to serve one medium rare, and with the requisite griddled bread. Impressive contrast between the patty's crusted exterior and still-juicy interior. Arguably overdone on the outside, but I'll take that all day every day as long as the juiciness is there. Moderate amount of butter on the Texas toast standing in for rye. Somewhat-traditional condiments, but with a few liberties taken (caramelized onion, cheddar jack, bacon). Not elite, but solid enough job and probably among the better patty melts I've had on my recent quest. -- CH Cheeseburger: Tried twice, this wasn't just a good cheeseburger for the 'burbs or a good cheeseburger for a brewery. This is a good cheeseburger, period, and a very good one. The first thing I really like about it is that it's a thick, full-size patty, and not the overexposed smashburger that's made the thick ones nearly extinct. The second is that they understand and deliver on the concept of textural contrast: crusty exterior and pink, very juicy interior. They also season it just enough to notice, butter that griddled bun just enough to notice, and don't screw up the vegetable additions. The cheese is there but unremarkable. The bun is soft and flexible. Overall, one of the best burgers in MetroWest and Worcester. -- Fries: The frozen variety, neither great nor horrific. They got the job done. -- Beer: I like their offerings, led by their flagship Juice Freak, served properly in attractive glassware. I have other breweries with beers I love, but none of them has a burger I love, and I'm already falling in love with this one. Service was excellent every time, once at a table and twice at the bar. Note: If you use Siri to get directions here by name rather than address, she'll tell you that they've closed, but that's because they moved recently. They're open.
