Framingham Beer Works is open. The restaurant is open daily from 11 a.m. to 1 a.m. Located at the former Bugaboo Creek site, the restaurant in the popular Beer Works chain has been having a soft opening since mid-last week.

Another couple pulled into the lot to see what the business was and eventually stayed for lunch. …

Went there last Saturday, food was awesome and beer was delicious! The staff couldn't have been nicer, my only suggestion is that they get some blinds for the windows during the daytime since the sun hits that place most of the day, other than that I'd give it a 5 out of 5! more ›
