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

Pretzel bites

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.

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

Pretzel

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.

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!

Be Bright A-IPA, and a cool glass.
Greg G.

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.

Beer!
Kelsey C.

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.

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

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.

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!

Raise your right hand, this review is under oath. I will tell the truth and the whole truth. The…read moreverdict is in, I am rating the Courthouse Brew Company five stars. 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.

West Coast IPA is very tasty but info on the web about them being dog friendly is incorrect. They…read moreclaim it's because they're considered a restaurant, but a heated pretzel hardly qualified them as a restaurant. With all the options of K9 friendly breweries, it's disappointing to find a beer worth returning only to not be able to bring your whole family.

From beers to entrees, Cold Harbor is a solid dinner spot…read more I went here for dinner before heading to a Pitbull show at Xfinity. I know... super far, right? Well, we had stayed in Worcester after going to another concert the previous night and needed some things to do in between. Enter Cold Harbor. I ordered the Pumpkin Ale as it's that season and loved the malty spicy balance. They had a gluten-free pizza that had sausage and ricotta. The crust was bomb! Very nicely cooked with nice globs of ricotta making it more tasty. Waitress was super friendly and helpful. At one point I think she got placed outside and it was difficult to get her towards the end, but we figured it out. I liked the pumpkin beer so much, I decided to try a flight. I ordered all pale ales/ipas. They were a bit too wet with hops and one of them gave me a little hop burn. The flavor profiles were good though. I walked out with a pack of Ravenna and Pumpkin Ale. I would definitely like to go again!

Brewery and eatery a stone's throw from Route 9, among a long stretch of shopping centers. 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.
