Worcester Railers HC News Release


Worcester, MA - Off the Rails LLC today announced the name of a new restaurant and live-music venue being developed at 90 Commercial Street at the corner of Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard: Off the Rails.

Off the Rails is a one-of-a-kind restaurant, music hall, and beer garden which will offer southern influenced cuisine and intimate access to local and nationally acclaimed musical performers. "The music will broadly revolve around the genre of country, ‚¬Â said Off the Rails Managing Partner Chris Besaw, "but will be influenced by genres including rock, pop, bluegrass, folk, and Americana. ‚¬Â Patrons of the restaurant will be treated to live music seven days a week from a two-person stage visible from outdoor seating accommodations along Commercial Street. "Our goal is to bring a little Nashville to Worcester, ‚¬Â said Besaw.

For larger shows Off the Rails boasts two options. The music hall will accommodate up to 500 guests while a beer garden will further enhance outdoor concert space along Martin Luther King Jr. Boulevard and fit up to 10,000. "Our big-picture goal is to further define the downtown corridor as an entertainment destination, ‚¬Â said Off the Rails and Worcester HC owner Cliff Rucker. "To capitalize on a unique opportunity to attract visitors into the market and, ultimately, to have a positive economic and cultural impact on the city of Worcester. ‚¬Â

The restaurant will be led by Executive Chef Rick Araujo. Araujo, recently of Civic Food and Drink in Westborough, won the coveted "Golden Cleaver ‚¬Â Award at Chopped! / Worcester 2019. He brings a farm-to-table mentality that he hopes to share with customers. "Patrons appreciate knowing the origins of the food on their plate, ‚¬Â said Araujo. "Our goal is to highlight local products and find exciting ways to pair them with ingredients from around the country and world. ‚¬Â To complement the food the establishment will include 20 tap lines and heavily feature local craft brews.

Renovations on the restaurant are underway and it is scheduled for opening on July 17th. Construction activities on the music venue are scheduled to begin in mid-June. The project is targeted for completion by December 2021.
