20 Best Cocktail Bars near Holden

“This was my first time dining at the Harvest Grille. The food was delicious, and the waitress was very attentive to our questions and needs. The two of us were seated next to the bar which made our conversation a little more difficult to hear, but it wouldn’t deter me from going again!“

“I didn't try any food so cannot comment. Bar is clean and stools are comfortable. Tiny booths are vintage spaces for private conversations. I found the music a little too loud when not a full bar. Matt was our bartender and provided exceptional commentary on the cocktails, some of which he created to add to the menu. His ability to craft a cocktail on demand to match the taste of the person ordering is an art form everyone should experience at least one time.“

“We didn't have any food as the kitchen was closed, but the cocktails were amazing. I had a Porn Star, and my partner had the Duck It. Both drinks were fantastic, and the DJ was wicked good. The space inside was a little small, but not enough to negatively affect our night. I'm looking forward to going back soon!“

“stopped by for takeout tonight and it was soooo good. will be going back to sit down!!“

“Excellent dinner and drinks, and wonderful service! Can’t wait to come back. Lemongrass tofu was outstanding!“

“We went to Femme last night for the first time for an early dinner and drinks. The staff was super sweet and the food was amazing. I can't wait to go back for an event or live music.“

“Havana Nights was absolutely amazing! The service was fantastic! The food was delicious and the portions were huge! The restaurant looks beautiful and will definitely be getting many visits from my friends and I!“

“My wife and I had tried to come here once before but it was so busy we couldn’t get in! We finally got to try it and it was worth the wait. The drinks and food were excellent and the bar staff were very kind. I’d recommend trying to make a reservation for weekends, but we had no issue getting in on a Thursday night.“

“One minute your on the streets of Worcester then walking in and time warping to a taxidermy dream bar from the 1950s. Then once you step out the back door it feels like you have entered an enchanted forest decorated in strings lights with majgical fairys bringing you beer and meatball sandwiches. I drove all the way from Dover NH to sink my teeth into 2 meatball + sausage sandwiches & 2 beers. Well, really to see my old friend and visit with her friends. Always love visit with my old friend Tara here.“

“So cute & such a nice vibe. Great drinks, great music, they do pizza by the slice if you ask, they have desert and delicious complimentary popcorn. Me and my friend came on a saturday night and were shocked that we were the only ones in there, a few people trickled in before we left but this is SUCH a great place to come and hang out, dance relax. staff is SO sweet & friendly. definitely go and check it out if you’re in the area! we will definitely be back a bunch“

“I've been to a fair share of bars and yet this is the spot that actually makes amazing cocktails, perfect dive bar type scene, if you have people visiting from out of town and they want a dive bar experience and a proper drink, take them here. Food truck on patio has awesome food too.“

“Very pleasant environment with very good wine selection. The food was well prepared and tasty. The portion size was reasonable, I am not a fan of huge portions, which allowed us to enjoy dessert at the end of our visit. The service was attentive while providing ample privacy.“

“If your gluten free this place is it!! I’m talking best food I’ve had in a long time! The staff was amazing and super personable. The atmosphere was great not too loud but definitely busy. Even so we got our food within a decent time and everything was fresh and hot. Did i mention there were so many gluten free options!! Ive been here before and will definitely keep returning!“

“Best damn mai tais around. Love this place!“

“I’m a Worcester native but now live in RI. I’m so proud coming back home and seeing all the changes. The mercantile building itself and concept is fabulous however all depends where you sit. We were first flood in the middle which was not the best. I recommend top floors or by the window. Love the key chain that donates to local charities . We came for my frisks birthday and I told the server this - server didn’t even say happy birthday nor was their cake or anything brought out. Pretty cheap for a place like this. We each got margaritas- the cocktails have way too many sugary ingredients first sign that drinks aren’t well made. I asked for drinks to be made a specific way and they accommodated . The food was very good pickle pizza to die for!!! The server asked if I would leave some e yea so she could have it??? Very shocking. The staff all looked miserable and are not welcoming. Overall the mercantile missed the mark. Step it up with better staff and a more experienced mixologist!“

“Great food, friendly staff“
