RAR Brewing

Cool spot on Main Street for good beer. Food sizes are alittle small but good flavor. I would recommend the steak sandwich. They charge an extra $1 for their RAR sauce which isn’t worth it. Pretty much mayo with some seasoning. Also, take out beer is expensive being $8/can.

This place is fantastic not just for beer but for food! There are few places that can do both, and do both well, but RAR does it! The burgers and salads are mouthwatering. The drink menu offers a wide variety and the fruity beers are like delicious smoothies!

This venue offers three distinct atmospheres under one roof. The central area features high bar tables, creating a communal vibe with brick walls adorned in vibrant graffiti and signs. A more refined section showcases a long white backsplashed wall boasting over 20 taps of their brews, complemented by comfortable seating on deep cushions and barstools. The final area features wooden booths with quirky 90s decor, including Legos, a Talkboy, and VHS tapes.I highly recommend trying the wings, cooked to perfection with a variety of flavors to suit any taste. The Chessie Chop is another standout, featuring locally sourced sirloin and gooey beer cheese as a delicious topping.Their impressive variety of beverages ensures there's something for everyone to enjoy. Overall, my experience was excellent, and I would highly recommend visiting their original location in Cambridge or their new spot in Annapolis.

What a great atmosphere! We were driving through and needed a spot to stop for lunch and we found this great place. The food was well priced and was delicious.We tried 8 beers and each one was excellent.I hope that we are able to pass back past this place in the future. With all of the decorations, it is fun for the whole family!

I just moved to the area and this has easily become my favorite place. They host all sorts of events and keep the streets of Cambridge eventful. Everybody is always so nice and the atmosphere and vibe is perfect. We recently also attended the hotdog eating contest which was the most fun I’ve had in forever! Who woulda thought 🤪I love all the work they put it to decorating too!!I feel like this place brings so much life to Cambridge💗

Very cool brewery with tons of fun decorations to find. I'd drive hours to have these sours again. Best sours on the East Coast, so many crazy combinations that absolutely work. Went here for the beer but the food was also great, especially the burgers. Flights are a good price too. Overall a top brewery, especially for sour beer. It's rare to find this many good beers in one brewery.

Great place to go with lots of space, huge selection of beer and decent menu for food. The wings were some of the better ones I've tried. The service was great and the atmosphere was nice. A little loud, but so much stuff to look at and nostalgic items to remember. Would definitely recommend and would come back.

Liked it... Large selection of beers on tap along with several guest beers on tap and they have a ton of can pours as well.Lots of IPA's but several lagers and dark beers as well.They also have a small menu with typical bar food.... We had the tater tots which was actually a real large portion considering it's an appetizer.

I never do this. I work as a bartender/server and never complain about service. But a few weeks ago I had the worst experience here I've ever had. I reached out to a manager who told me he would send me a gift card and would call to follow up. Got neither so I sent a message to the RAR website about it. Got a response from the owner who told me he would refund my money. He said he did. I had a temporary in pending for a few but it never reflected my balance. It fell off the next day and the bank told me they cancelled the refund. Now I can't get anyone to respond, so save your money.

RAR is a great place to stop in for food, drinks, and packaged goods.Food is like upscale bar food. Burgers, tots, pretzels bites. Also a very nice vegetarian burger. Of course, you come here for the beer. Don't get overwhelmed by their choices. Lovely staff knows their products.Come in or after season. They are open year round.

We had a wonderful lunch at RAR. The food and menu was surprisingly bigger portion and more variety than I expected at a brewery. The decor is fun; a lot of 80's and 90's references on the walls. Love the beer!

Been meaning to make my way here for years and finally made the trip. RAR has a great space in downtown Cambridge. They have two large bar rooms and a sit down area with booths. The beer is good with sours being their real specialty. Didn't try the food but what we saw looked good. I would definitely return if in the area.

Very friendly staff, food was very good, beer was good as well. Disappointed that there was no stouts or porters on tap. Visited in the winter with no winter beers on tap. Well decorated. Also disappointed I had to buy stickers. 99% of all breweries I go to GIVE you stickers! Had to buy them here. I've been to over 100 breweries, I think this was only the second time I had to buy a sticker.

Great, small local brewery with tons of stuff going on inside. The walls are covered in urban artwork and stickers galore. The music playing was a good mix as well. Enjoyed the beer and food while we were there. Can’t wait to visit again when we’re in the area.

Nice brewery with a really nice setting. The drunken tots went well with our flight. The I’m not bored I’m a pirate sour is fantastic.

Solid drinks for the price! Ordered a Bloody Mary on the way to Ocean City. The brewery opens up to the town street and all of it is very cozy and welcoming with plenty of parking in the back. Highly recommend anyone who's in the area to put it on their bucket list.

Burgers are small for the cost , (start @ $9), child size burgers at adult prices..The sides are extra- pay an additional price. French fries, tater tots, onion rings and the mac n' cheese are covered in a salty season-all. I know it says season-all but It is not meant to season everything. Why is it salty, well folks that's to make you thirsty and buy more beer. Could be a great place but they prefer profit over quantity and quality. If you want to stop in and get a child's burger that taste great but cost the price of a steak. Come on in. If you like your sides to taste exactly the same, ditto. Otherwise it's a pass.

I’ve always enjoyed RAR brews when I’ve had them, so I wanted to see where the magic is made. I was glad that i did! Large space in Cambridge that has a tasting room/bar and a dining room as well. Great spot for kids - especially those that love DINOS! My family of 4 shared salads and crabby tots and then each had a chessie (not cheesy) burger, ha! Also, looks like on Fridays, they shut down the street for a beer garden and live music when available. We will be back!

Funky and eclectic, RAR brings pop culture and innovative brews together. It's the ultimate bar experience, whether sitting in the open-air bar or attached buildings with big seating areas, you'll enjoy yourself. OUT OF ORDER sours are the popular choice and people line up for new releases; although flavors are hit or miss. Even have a couple non-alc options which is nice!The grub is good too if it's a burger, cheese steak, wings, or loaded tots they are nice accompaniments. Take a look around the establishment and you'll see many odes to the 90's - a millennial's playground. Get some pints and chum it up with the Cambridge locals.

We came here to "refuel" during our ride to the Harriet Tubman Museum and Visitor Center on Saturday. Didn't get to try their beers this time (had to ride back home safe!), but we did get to enjoy the food. Burgers were super fresh and tasty—the 'Nessie' logo on the burger's bun is a cute detail! :)Hope to be able to come again soon, and try the beer selection.The decoration is really interesting, and that couch very comfortable!

Beer was good but the food was better! So delicious. Possibly the best food menu I’ve ever seen at a brewery. The crab balls were amaze balls. The bartender was super friendly and provided great customer service.

My boyfriend and I had an amazing experience with RAR! It was my 21st birthday yesterday so we’re celebrating at the shore over the weekend and this was our first stop. Every staff member had a smile on their face and was helping take care of us. They were friendly, informative and really made experience great! We loved that they have food, a taproom, and a bar at this brewery. The food was really great too and came out quick!! The LabRARtory was especially great. There, they had a bar with normal cocktails and liquor, as well as special RAR cocktails; in addition to a hefty selection of to-go cans. The to-go can selection was outstanding. They had plenty of options from RAR, as well as options from many other microbreweries over the country such as Imprint, Other Half, Equilibrium, Kings Brewing, etc. Overall, great experience. Thanks for making my 21st birthday very special! (Also, the cocktail pictured is from the LabRARtory and it’s called “twenty one”)!

Loved the decor. Three different themes in 3 different buildings. The selection of beers were outstanding. If they don’t have it you don’t need it.

Some of my favorite beer in the DMV. We visited the Eastern Shore from DC and stayed a couple nights outside Cambridge. Visited RAR twice and also stocked up on some beers to take home. During Covid, they have the street RAR is on blocked off to car traffic so there are a bunch of tables set up outside with plenty of space. That smothered tots with crab meat were incredible. Beers: we had the Herb, classic Nectar, Grapefruit Nectar, and the Lumber Sexual. The Herb and Lumber Sexual were probably our favorites.

Great spot for a bite and drink. The crab cake was fresh and full of crabmeat. Our server DJ was friendly and quick to help. Highly recommend.

Great vibe! Excellent food and service. We love the Chessie Chicken (top with buffalo sauce and blue cheese dressing). Enjoyed the onion rings and mac & cheese. They offer several beverage options.

Beer was great service was ok. The loaded tots appetizer was amazing. The entrees were terrible. The burger had no flavor and despite ordering it one way came out wrong. Crab cake lacked flavor and appeared pan fried vs broiled on the menu. Flavored and appeared as if it came out of a discount grocery store freezer when the place is located within close distance to the bay. Very disappointing and overpriced. If you must visit, go for the beer and apps and avoid the main menu.
