    Deconstructed chicken pot pie

    Ambiance is great. The mini cornbread with baked beans was yummy but the deconstructed chicken pot pie was just okay. My fiance had the steak tips but he was not asked for a doneness so they can out almost rare (he prefers medium). It had good flavor. I had a blueberry lemonade cocktail that was perfectly made

    Pretty cool place to grab a drink. Beers were great, would definitely come back when in the area.

    My daughter and I went here right after they opened for the day. We each got a white sangria which we agreed was overly sweet. We changed to flavored seltzer and it was much better. They put a squirt of fruit flavor -- I got pineapple and she got blueberry -- which was very refreshing. We also got an order of pretzels which were delicious! Service was slow, partially because a group of 12 college students came in after we had been there about 15 minutes.

    We finally made it to Wormtown just before moving out of Worcester. At first we were fucking confused because it looks like it's closed from perhaps its original location but if you walk just down the block, you'll come across where you need to be. The interior decor is fun and lively. We chose to sit at the bar and after deliberating on some tasty options, settled on a couple of their droughts and munched on their soft pretzel. Service was good and prompt and beers went down easily. The pretzel bites were 4 small pillows instead of a proper soft pretzel and only one dipping sauce which in my opinion is not appropriate. They had live music, which is fine, but the genre was not my bag. GF and I were faced away from the musician and having our own conversation during which we were interrupted by other patrons. After some of the confusion, because I was wondering why the fuck these other people were talking to me, In front of the entire room, the musician was trying to get MY attention to pick a song for him to play. Wtf? I get crowd engagement and shit but I'm clearly doing my own thing in this bar. It was super fucking awkward and we left afterwards which is a shame because it's definitely not Wormtown's fault the musician they hired is lacking some social skills. Definitely a cool spot to visit offering some good beer but be warned about the entertainment lmao.

    It was fun visiting this brewery and see what was done to the building since I was here last. This was the old Edward Buick location and I remember getting 2 of my cars here years ago. You can still see the old transom 'Buick' windows. We were seated near the bar area and we were quickly greeted by our server (never got her name and it wasn't on our check). I told her I needed recommendations because I'm not a beer drinker. Our server made a couple recommendations I might like and I chose the Shrewsbury Street Shandy and my partner got the Irish Red. My beer was actually pretty tasty (for beer), it was very smooth. Because of covid it's a Massachusetts law you must order food with your drinks (don't ask me why). This was the only bad part of Wormtown Brewery... they didn't have anything we wanted. We weren't hungry for a meal and all the appetizers were kind of lame. We picked the hoppy fries because it was one of the cheapest apps, but $8.00 for french fries!!!! They weren't very good either, so I let my partner nibble on them. I would have preferred something simpler like cheese and crackers maybe. I didn't take the food into consideration when I rated Wormtown Brewery as at this point they are forced to offer food, but next time I'll check the food menu before I visit. We ordered a second round and my partner got a Spelchck and I got a Table Talk Blueberry. They were both good, but we preferred our first selections. We had an awesome server who knew the beers pretty well to make recommendations. I'll definitely visit again.

    Be Bright A-IPA, and a cool glass.

    Excellent selection of brews and food. Go for one of the taproom exclusives, and find their more popular beers around town. Full kitchen, love the W brand on the bun.

    Really great vibes and beer at this brewery! I've always enjoyed wormtown beers so it was a real treat to check out their dedicated spot with a much larger selection than I'd ever encountered. Highly recommend!

    Food was the worst I think I've ever had a brewery or restaurant. Drinks were good though.

    Beer!

    Nice spot to go with friends. Love the upstairs seating and the live music! Beer was good - loved the stout. Prices weren't great, but not bad either. Didn't try the food, maybe next time.

    My friend and I love to seek out a breweries after a conference. We don't know Worcester well so we simply chose Wormtown. A great choice. Fun and lively atmosphere. Great beer tenders. Great beer samples. My favorite was a chocolate coconut stout. Every IPA we tried was great. Be Hoppy was printed on their coasters and t-shirts. Yes, this is a good place to Be Hoppy. Bonus: a big parking lot.

    Bring your Growlers!!! It's much cheaper than the neighbourhood liquor stores and sure hell much better. If you are a big group know that space might be an issue esp if the weather is not outdoorsy. The outdoor patio is nice but might not be ideal for a group of more than 8. As for the beers: New England ipa was a bit sweet for me however the Be Hoppy one is great if you don't care about the intricacies. Nice options and even have summer shandy now that the weather is hotter. They can collaborate with some food truck maybe(like a few in the DC area I have seen) if they don't wanna grow their kitchen. Come and enjoy this Worcester institution. Love beer? I'll find something for you out here.

    Had good beer, great service and fun atmosphere. Had a great time... bought a fun hat and a cool shirt to remember the time in Worcester!

    I lived in Worcester between 1977 and 1987 and sure wish that Wormtown Brewery was there when I was! We had a very nice visit on Saturday and enjoyed a glass of 'Blizzard of 78' (English Style Brown Ale) and a glass of MPL (Mass Produced Lager). The beers were excellent and I picked up a Blizzard six-pack to take home. The Taproom is spacious with a lot of seating, and there's also a side room to handle the overflow on busy afternoons and nights. They have a pretty nice souvenir selection, and a cooler for you to grab your cans and bottles to go. There was a steady flow of customers walking in (especially quite a few college age women !!) to grab a flight or fill a growler, or sit and chill. The bartenders were all friendly and courteous, the atmosphere was great, and the beers were so good. Well done, Wormtown!

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.

    We cannot speak highly enough of Cold Harbor Brewing! We held my daughter's graduate school…read moregraduation party here at the end of May, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Throughout the planning process, we worked with the owner, Will, and General Manager, Andrew, who was organized, responsive, and incredibly helpful. Communication was always prompt, and he made sure every detail was addressed leading up to the event. On the day of the party, Bobby, Stan, and Jordan were outstanding. They helped everything run seamlessly and were always available whenever we needed assistance. Their knowledge of the venue and event hosting made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. The food was delicious! Our guests enjoyed various appetizers, pizza, chicken parmesan and pasta primavera. The cookies and brownies served warm from the oven for dessert were a particular highlight and the perfect ending to a wonderful celebration. Everyone who attended was impressed by both the venue and the exceptional service. We utilized the Full Tank Room and a portion of the patio. Our guests are still talking about it! We received countless compliments throughout the evening, and it truly made the occasion feel special. We would not hesitate to host another event at Cold Harbor Brewing in the future. We also frequent the restaurant and have always had good experiences. Five stars all around!

Got there on a Thursday at 5:30 and could barely park it was so full. I was worried about a big wait but it turns out there was a party in their back room space (that looked amazing BTW). We were greeted and seated right away and our server Olivia T came right over. She never stopped hustling the whole night! Beer was still great, one click off the big boys but noble contenders in the mass beer game. The food was, quite honestly, nothing to look at but the flavor was pretty good. The avocado on the turkey burger looked like it came out of a bottle, but it tasted great. The corn salsa on the burger was also delicious, just wished there was a tiny bit more. Overall, it was another great visit only this time in a wonderful new space.
