My daughter is learning to play hockey and having the tap room attached to the rink is amazing! Great beer as well!

This beer absolutely hits the spot. The Madam Rhubarb comes as advertised and is flawless. The King Midas Golden stout is also exceptional. Unfortunately, the lunchtime rush hurts the overall experience as there is only 1 bartender slinging drinks for this full bar on a Sunday.

I'll make it short and not so sweet . Went in , never have been there before , and ordered a martini . Was told they "don't have a full bar and to go somewhere else " I quote. No sorry can I get you something else etc.. Rudest bartender I've ever seen . Turned around and walked out never to return! Assholes

All the beers here were a bit malty for my taste but they were so imaginative and delicious I can drink a little less. Blood Orange, beet? In beer? They were both great by the way. But the food was also delicious. Great mustard with the pretzel and the hoummus want ground to paste. Delicious. Great job guys.

My biggest disappointment is that I didn't discover this place back when I lived walking distance from it! My dog and I used to walk past it all the time! We had no clue that it was doggy-friendly, or that the beer and service were so good! We now live a couple hours away, and only make it to Worcester a few times a year, but we'll be adding this to the list of places we visit!!!!

If you are looking for a good place for beer and food with an great staff, I highly recommend Bay State Brewery.

Great place to get a liter of beer and food while watching at the rink watching your kids play. Good variety of traditional German style draft beer along with some good IPA's and sours. The food is pretty good as well. The pretzel is a great appetizer to share with group of friends. Had Oktoberfest special menu along with regular pub menu. The curry sausage was well done. The chicken wings are pretty good as well.

Food was okay, nothing special. Ordered a flight, which was okay as well. The service could have been a lot better. We did a lot of waiting on our server. All in all, it was a cool place with okay food, service, and beer.

Beers from the tap are great but check the dates on their cans in the fridge before you buy, nothing like spending $16 on beer chunkier than spoiled milk
Great service and the outdoor seating was nice. Inside is very loud. Food and beer are good, but nothing special. Everything is reasonably priced. A nice place to hang out - especially on a nice day when you can sit outside.

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!

Great service; always there, but not pushy. Excellent spectrum of beer choices, not just IPAs. Food looked yummy

Loved this place! Huge, cavernous warehouse with a lot of stuff going on. The brewery is on the right side, but on the left side there is an arcade and other games. I am guessing one can bring beverages there, since I did, and did not see any signs indicating that activity is prohibited, So that could be a really way to spend an afternoon. I was here around 3 on a Monday so I was just grabbing a quick bevvie. Beer list was a little lacking. Maybe 12-15 beers, IPA heavy as usual. I was really wanting a west coast IPA but I guess all they make in New England are the hazy NEIPA. I went with a winter warmer instead. Very serviceable indeed. This could be a great place to hang out on a Saturday or Sunday watching some football or soccer. Large outdoor seating area as well, which is key.

This is a casual setting with a great selection of beer… much of which is brewed on location. The food is very good, which is usually not the case for breweries. Highly recommend!!
