My daughter and new son-in-law just had their wedding reception at Cold Harbor Brewing in Westborough. The entire experience...from our first meeting with Taylor (event coordinator) a few months ago right through to the last minutes at the end of the event...it was awesome! Thank you Taylor and Mike, the bartender and everyone else that helped make this event everything my daughter wanted it to be and more. Oh, the food...people are still talking about it! So when you add it all up...amazing service, along with a very cool "event space", fantastic food...hence the 5 stars. read more

The beer was good. The hummus appetizer was not good. The fried wontons over powered the hummus fresh flavor. I orfered the honey chicken sandwich. The chicken was a fried thigh. I was personally disgusted and caught of guard by the cheap gaimyness. My husband enjoyed the charizo calamari but was disappointed by the roast beef sandwich flavor. We both wished we got the nachos and burgers which looked great on other peoples tables. The ceiling looks like trash bags. read more

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

The food, the drinks, the people, all top notch! Spacious and lively, it has become a spot we visit often. The black garlic wing app is a must, along with the sausage and ricotta pizza. They take reservations too! read more

Staff, beer, food, and cocktails are excellent across the board. Building is absolutely beautiful. A must stop if in the area.

Great beer, great pizza, ( we had the sausage and ricotta), great atmosphere. The staff is top notch. My new favorite! read more

Decent Small Brewery... offering a couple quality IPAs ... it's worth the visit! Try Flying Dream and Medusa while you're out this way! read more

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

Cold Harbor Brewing - Breweries Near Me - Westborough, Massachusetts

*** 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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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
