Great place to bring your furry best friend. Small space but plenty of good spirits to go around. Came and enjoyed their IPA's Juice Freak & Feather Edge both we're very good. My husband had Juice Freak & Ravenna and he was very happy with both. I would highly recommend to come and try this place out. They also had Anzio's Brick Oven Pizza outside which was out of this world delicious. read more

Good service, good food, good atmosphere and an overall fun place to be in. Gets busy on the weekends, especially during summer

I visited Cold Harbor Brewing for the second time (2020 & 2021) a few weeks ago. We experienced a friendly/knowledgeable staff and outstanding craft beer both times. This hidden place competes with some of the best New England has to offer; conveniently located in Westborough, MA. read more

Small tap room with great prices! Great small outdoor seating area on a nice day. They seemed to be going under some construction. I overheard the brewtender there say they were getting a new brewing system. (Very exciting!!!) Downsides: (Only been there once, so I'm willing to give the benefit of doubt) I would give them 4 stars, just on the taste and variety of beers they had the day we went. Very bland, many tasted the same. But of course, every batch is different. The outdoor atmosphere was great, just maybe more Adirondack chairs for lounging. We will definitely be back soon to try some new brews. read more

Terrific service from Jack our server! Atmospherically, it was a great experience and the food and drink were top notch!

Was so happy to check out this week after seeing packed parking lots since soft opening. And was worth the wait, happy to have this place in town. Great new spot and was really surprised walking in. The ambience is more upscale than expected yet tons of fun. Ordered the Hot honey chicken sandwich-- it was huge but great. Flavors were surprisingly balanced. With a pint of Truell - perfection. read more

You can do better. Parking lot Waaaaaay too small for available seating. See other reviews. After walking all the way from the Target parking lot, the music was waaaay too loud. We asked to have it turned down. The host said he would speak to the manager. And the response was - when the set is over. We left. You lost a four top over that one. Hey guys - get a goddam valet service. Waaaaaay too loud. Both the music and room acoustics. See other reviews. The food quality is marginal at best. Prices are ok. Not high Not low. Beer and selection is pretty good. Guys - deal with the parking, deal with the noise, improve the food. I'm not coming back. And, I will add, this is the first one star review I have posted of any restaurant. You earned it. read more

*** 3,600th review *** Sometimes you happen upon a brewery, and it's very unassuming -- barely enough places to sit, chalkboard list and descriptions, music through an iPod and speaker -- a very simple set-up. But this modesty sets up the customer to be blown away by how good the beer is. It's rare to find a brewery with such interesting and consistently solid beers of different styles. I ended up trying about 7 or 8 different beers, and each was really good for its style. Some were just perfect visions of the style, but others pushed the envelope and took the definition of these styles to another level. If you're in the area -- or even if you're not in the area -- you should check out Cold Harbor. If it's any indication, in the 1.5 hours we were there, there was a constant stream of people coming in with their growlers to get filled -- plus leaving with a taste of something else. Customers were coming in for fills of all different types; it's not that CHB has one beer they do well. Honestly, if there had been any seating in the small tasting room, we probably would have stayed even longer. Still, overall I cannot say enough about the beer variety and taste. Check it out. read more

Good food from what we tried, and ambiance is nice, but the best part was the exceptional service from Katie X and Jack S. They were so attentive and kind to our party. Will definitely return! read more

Waited 45 minutes for a table after waiting that long the table right at the entrance opened up an the hosest wanted us to sit there an it was to high for my wife to get in the seat I asked to wait for next table an hosest said no that we would be put back on the waiting list to the bottom which said we be an hour . I couldn't believe how rude she was and as a business owner. The owner needs to see this read more

Great food, excellent service (even when first opened). The only issue is that they have very limited reservations.

Met a friend for a beer at 3:30 pm, greeted by very friendly host, sat at booth in the bar area. Enjoyed juice freak and nachos waiter was pleasant and relaxed, we never felt rushed. The vibe here is very cool, great music, great atmosphere. Definitely recommend!!! read more

Cool Setup A small, nice, hidden, brewery in Westboro! What a pleasant surprise to hear about this place and then to visit it. Word of mouth is a great way to grow a business (and you can't see it from the road). Very cool, relaxing atmosphere, very impressive beer. Nice food truck in the picnic area and you can take your flights or small draft system out in the courtyard and soak up the sun. The people of Westboro are very lucky to have this gem in town. Tip: Indian Summer brew was amazing. Thanks read more

This is a cute little brewery. Tons to chose from and dog friendly. They usually offer food trucks on the weekend. read more

Cold Harbor Brewing - Flight - Breweries Near Me - Westborough, Massachusetts

If you love dogs (and beer), come check this place out!! We came here on a whim one Sunday afternoon and had a blast! The tap room is very small, no seating inside, but a few bar ledges and a few small tables. We got a flight and a few pints and loved all of the beers we tried! The one guy working at the bar worked quickly and efficiently taking and filling orders. The best part of our visit was that quite a few customers came in with their adorable dogs! Dogs allowed inside, don't come if you don't like em. All of the dogs were well behaved and provided a lot of entertainment as we enjoyed our beers. Will definitely have to come back when it's warmer to enjoy some beers outside. read more

Yum yum good beer!! Wow I liked everything but my faves were the mustache stout and Petals pale ale. Cute small friendly place. Def check em out! read more

I've been to almost every brewery in central mass and Cold Harbor is my favorite. Brew is good no doubt but to me that's not the main draw of Cold Harbor brewery. It's the low key cool without even trying type of experience that is like no other. By no means is this brewery fancy as you will have to drive to the back of a building to find a small but very nice walk in area that you order your freshly brewed drinks. From there you will be drinking under a large metal awning on well crafted wooded benches and seating on which you can look out into surrounding forest like nature that exists beyond back area of the building. My wife and I were there one summer night with my dog enjoying our brew and the music playing when my dog broke his leash and ran into back distillery area to say hi to everyone. The people working there where beyond cool with it, as they helped us retrieve him while laughing about it. Great place for beers with the boys or if you appreciate places off the beaten path. read more

Exceptional food and beverage rowdy crowd. Slight inebriated customer kept bothering. Great atmosphere don't think I'll return. Good wings definitely stop by read more

Really cool local microbrewery! its a small place but excited to go back and try it in the warmer weather

I suppose if you are shopping at Target next door or at the nearby Walmart and want food and drink and don't want to drive far, you may come to the Cold Harbor Brewing and it will be OK, nothing special but OK. Otherwise, why bother when there are so many places within a few mile radius that have much better food and beer and drinks. Service was fine once our waitress came, after 10-12 minutes from showing us to our table, just when we were contemplating getting up and leaving (and this at a time when the place was not very busy). Anyway, once contact was established, the waitresses (there was a shift change) were helpful and pleasant. Prices are on the high end of the range for this type of restaurant; not extortionist but way too far away from being a bargain, especially for the quality of the food (which, to reiterate, wasn't bad but wasn't great either). The place was loud and the live performer was both loud and off pitch; I suppose this is not the restaurant's fault since they probably don't audition singers, but maybe they should. Bottom line: It's OK if you end up here, but why should you. read more

My boyfriend and I met on our first date at the original location back in 2021. And we've cherished every time we've visited since. He has also been a longtime customer of the brewery. We stopped by the new location today. We were impressed with the aesthetic and the service was nice and friendly. We liked the food. Unfortunately though it was disappointing to see that only 3 beers were on tap given it's a "brewery" after all. We're hopeful the focus will come back around to the tasty beers Cold Harbor is known for. We'll look forward to the day that comes true and return! read more

Steve and I were resting in our hotel after Brimfield. He asked if I wanted to go out...for ice cream and then we could head on over to Cold Harbor. A nice small brewery in a nondescript building. A simple bar, chalkboard beer list behind, gravel and covered patio area outside. Dog friendly and clean. Steve had the Mill Race German Kolsch and he enjoyed it. "They nailed it" was his exact official review. Worth a stop! read more

Pizza margarita and chicken honey wings were amazing. Same for juice freak beer and.mocktails. Congrats on a great new restaurant here in Shrewsbury!! read more

food was way over cooked. Fish tasted like rubber,and the Cole slaw was funny tasting. thank goodness for gift cards. wouldn't go back

I haven't been there at the right time of day to experience what this place has to offer, so this review is primarily related to the beer itself... Awesome nano brewery. Tiny place, juicy, delicious IPAs (and other types as well, but I was on a solo adventure, and could not try them all). Guy serving was nice (and craaazy mellow). Beer to go in Growlers/howlers only. Took two with me, though almost didnt due to not veing local (and I hate Growlers), but the beer was great, my friends like good beer, and what can I say...I'm a nice guy! I had to buy a bigger cooler due to stops elsewhere. A good problem to have. THANKS! Outdoor covered patio with porto potties and cornhole (bean bag toss...not a porto potty related thing). Not sure if they have a public bathroom, as I didn't care at the time, but maybe ask before you get to the point of no return if you are averse to such accommodations. read more

This was our first time at Cold Harbor. Our waitress, Katy was friendly, professional, knowledgeable and fun. She definitely has great customer service skills! We had the Loaded Baked Potato Pizza (which was one of the 'specials'. It was delicious and hopefully will get added to the regular menu. If you like mash potato, bacon, scallions, cheddar and sour cream, this one is fantastic. As a side note the beer was delicious too! Can't wait to go back and try some of their other items. read more

I've been here twice and both times they were sold out of half their draft beers (there are only around 6 to begin with which is not great) and that was early in the day! The second time the wait was over an hour, which we only found out after staring at the hostesses who were just chatting and ignoring us as we stood there. Not that impressed. read more

First time at Cold Harbor new (fantastic) location and it won't be our last. Went there for lunch and a cold beer. Busy but we were able to get a booth near the bar, which is position A. Server was quick, helpful and friendly. Had a Novocaine and Mustache (stout) and both were so good we took a 4-pack of each to go. Food was really great for a brewpub. Wings appetizer were big and perfectly cooked - not like those anemic wings most places sell these days. Pizza was great and sandwiches were tasty. Highly recommended. read more

The best pizza around. Actually all the food is good. Glad they opened the bigger place. Great beer

Great people, great beers! Bring our pups here almost every weekend and meet up friends. Can't wait for the new place to open!!

Truly a hidden gem I've driven past this place hundreds of times, I never would have know it was there. Ice cold and fresh beer on tap and I even got a case to go I will totally be back. read more

Cold Harbor Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Westborough, Massachusetts

First time here last weekend. It's such a small place but a cute place to bring your furry best friend! Good selection of beers, small inside with only one or 2 high round tables, picnic tables outside under a shelter with some barrels for make shift tables. They also have Anzio's pizza come which was perfect as well. Come check them out but get there early if in a weekend day because the parking lot is really small so you might have a hard time finding a spot. My dog loved it here, we will be back. read more

If you're not equipped to handle takeout orders, don't take them!! Ordered a burger and fries on a Thurs night. Host seemed like a nice enough guy, but the problem was he was the only host. Everyone else working there that walked by did not acknowledge me. This place has the one host ringing out people buying their merchandise and running back to the kitchen to check on orders. My order initially wasn't ready. Then two customers on their way out preoccupied the host with the most mind-numbing conversation imaginable. When they finally left he looked at me and I could tell he completely forgot I was still waiting. He told me he would check my order and went running back to the kitchen. He came back again with nothing and went behind the front desk where my order had been sitting for who knows how long. Had to remind the host I hadn't paid yet when he handed me my order. Food was lukewarm at best. No condiments included, not even ketchup for a burger and fries order. I live five minutes away and was hoping this would be a great new option to get takeout. If they are going to offer takeout orders, maybe they should focus more on customer service and less on peddling their trash merchandise. read more

This little local brewery is great. Small spot off of rte 9 tucked in the back. It's a garage bay turned into beer goodness! I tried a few samples. 4oz for $2/ea. Great size for me personally and more than enough to get a good idea of the taste and see what you like or don't like. You can chill out here and bring your snacks or lunch or dinner in and just hill like at home. Just better beer. They have two small high top tables (standing room only) and on either side of the room a thin bar top area to put your brews. While we were there this place turned over at least 10 walk ins with coolers in tow to bring home their growlers. Check this place out. Good people. Great beer. Cheers! read more

Cold Harbor Brewing - 4oz samples for $2 - Breweries Near Me - Westborough, Massachusetts

Great place for some unique beers! They have a great sample size for $2, so you can test out a variety of flavors before walking away with a growler full of beer. Their Thai Takeout is amazing! It is a light beer with a slightly spicy kick with lemongrass and basil hints. The Summer Sister is great for the hot summer that Massachusetts has been experiencing. It is full of fruity flavors with a hoppy finish. The owner is very friendly and knowledgeable about his beer. There is also free pizza and pretzels to nibble on during your stay. A great place to relax after work or hangout on the weekends! Next summer, the owner plans on expanding the place to have an outdoor patio and live music - definitely coming back to check that out! read more

Really great brewery tucked away in Westborough. Tap list rotates, check their socials before you go to see what's available (draft, cans, and growlers). Dogs are allowed inside, and the vibe is super laid-back...even though it's a small place and can get crowded, everyone is really friendly. There's also covered space outdoors to hang out in when the weather allows. read more

My favorite place to go after a long day. In my top 3 breweries (ever) they have some of the best New England IPAs I have ever had. Not only is the beer fantastic, every time I have come here I have been greeted by the friendliest staff. Everyone is so passionate about their craft. The owner is so down to earth and genuinely excited for what is to come for this brewery. If you are in New England- GO HERE!! read more

I would have given 3 stars for the acceptable but mediocre food and the really disappointing beer, but the service was so slow we almost left, hence the 2 stars. (It was not that busy, either.) We had come once before and also left because no one came to our table for the first 20-30 minutes. Same experience again - we were getting ready to leave when the waitress finally acknowledged us. They were out of the drink and meal that one person at our table had selected, so she just ordered an appetizer. The selection is mainly sandwiches and flatbreads. The burger (there's just one on the menu, with no creative toppings) was OK but no real taste, and much pinker than it should have been for medium well. The macaroni was okay, but nothing special. And while there are more expensive places, it's a couple bucks more than some nicer restaurants. There was a loud, off-pitch crooner/singer, and it's one of those places that's very open so you're seeing and hearing everyone. For better food and beer, try the Starting Line in Hopkinton. For better food, try just about any place. read more

I found this place on Yelp while search for someplace to bring my husband after dinner on his birthday that's right up his alley. This was it! My husband is a home brewer so he is always on the lookout for new local craft beer and a tasting room is a huge bonus. The assistant brewer Evan was awesome to talk to. He knew his stuff and was great with all the customers coming in. We sampled the 9 beers on tap and all were top-notch. We went home with 3 growlers and will be back for more. read more
