Redemption Rock Brewing Company

One of Worcester's best breweries!!

So, I'm thinking this is probably my favorite brewery in the Woo. They have a beer for everyone. Only like Coors light? No problem. Want to cut your hops with a fork and knife? Come on in. Sours are your way of life? They have you covered. Plus the vibe is stellar. Their biggest problem is the parking situation, and they are a little small. One of the coolest features is there's no tipping. I think that's awesome. (As long as the staff gets paid what they are worth, because they are worth it all) So, great beer, great people, great atmosphere, lousy parking. Keep it up!!

I really like this Brewery. The beer is good. It's got a chill vibe, not noisy or pretentious. Nice place to sit and play a board game.

Not sure why I didn't fill this out but the place is real quaint, kind of out of view, a little bit in the back out of the way, and it's got a good set of options with both food and drink. Got a lot of community themed stuff, I don't partake but I observe it, so that's nice.

Overall a good spot, prices are reasonable, variety is varietal, so, good stuff.

Redemption Rock Brewery Company is a true gem in Worcester. What makes them stand out is their unique approach to tipping—rather than tipping servers (which I wholeheartedly encourage everyone to do at least 20% or $5, whichever is greater!), they donate those funds to local charities. This creative initiative not only reflects their community spirit but also deepens my appreciation for the diverse organizations that make Worcester vibrant.

Their commitment to giving goes beyond just tips. When my mother’s home country of Myanmar (Burma) was going through a crisis, Redemption Rock generously hosted a local nonprofit at the brewery. They not only raised funds but also allowed the group to sell authentic Burmese food, made by Burmese volunteers. For me, it was a heartfelt and nostalgic experience, bringing a taste of home in such a personal way.

Beyond their altruism, the space itself is fantastic. The pale-yellow walls create a sunny, bright atmosphere, even when it’s dark outside. The back area, where they host performances like poetry nights, features a colorful mural that adds vibrancy to the space, and the green floor, almost like grass in texture (if I recall correctly), gives it a playful and fun vibe. These thoughtful design choices make the entire venue feel welcoming and joyful.

The brewery also boasts high ceilings and floods of natural light, making you feel energized and lively the moment you step in. It's always bustling, yet never feels overcrowded. Even with the frequent crowds, there’s plenty of space to move comfortably.

I’ve attended one of their poetry nights, and it was a beautiful, inspiring evening where Worcester residents shared their stories, helping me connect more deeply with the city. It truly made me appreciate my decision to move here.

The food, though primarily charcuterie boards and similar bites, is top-notch and satisfying. While they mainly serve beer, their selection is high-quality and flavorful, standing out from the usual brews.

I’ve also heard wonderful things about the owner—kind, accessible, and deeply involved in the community. I believe I even saw him presenting at the poetry night, which speaks volumes about his genuine care for the locals.

Whether I’m on my laptop, with friends, or just meeting new people in a safe space, Redemption Rock is often my first choice. They also have outdoor seating, but the beauty and comfort of the indoor space usually keep me inside.

Cool vib but the beers I had seemed flat

This place is. Dog friendly and environment is great. Very impressive with straw.

The staff were lovely, and the atmosphere was relaxing. My son loved his matcha tea, and I appreciate that there are non-alcoholic options. The parking was challenging- I cannot imagine what it would be like if they were busy. They do not offer flights, but they offer free samples. The first 2 we tried had virtually no flavor, so we had a half-pour of the 3rd which was the first one we tried that had flavor. Perhaps we are spoiled by Tree House, but we were unimpressed by the beer. But again, lovely people, atmosphere, and tea.

Great place - chill artistic ambiance and good brews.

Always a great choice! Extremely versatile menu of drinks, everything is made fresh by hand. Nothing pre packaged and so delicious! Numerous tasty food options and friendly knowledgeable staff. Chill taproom ambiance and there’s always something interesting going on regardless of what day you visit. Highly recommend ?

YUP. Go here. Great beers. Amazing vibes. Go here.

Great service. Great beer. But is this a giant at 10 dollars

Nice place to sit with friends for a beer.

After a long hiatus, I came to a meetup here. The atmosphere is still as vibrant and fun as I remembered. I tried the honey ale, unique and refreshing.

My fav brewery on earth.
