50 Best Bars near West Boylston

“We go every week or 2. It’s a great spot to sit at the bar and have some apps, dinner and delicious drinks. Julia is one of the best bartenders and makes it fun and comes up with new ideas for something new to try. It’s one of our favorite spots to go - keno , drinks and good food and people.“

“I've been coming here for a year now. The food is fantastic and the draft beer prices are amazing. But, most importantly the day bartender (MaryEllen) is amazing. She will treat you like a regular the first time you walk in, and it only gets better from there. I've never seen someone work so hard, and have such a great attitude while doing so. I am in the industry, and would hire her in a second. Please go, it is absolutely worth it.“

“We have visited 4/5 times and have never been disappointed. Once you walk in the door, you feel at home. Food is delicious and deserts are scrumptious.“

“Incredibly fun, so many games, great drinks. It was a great choice for date night. Was really impressed with the game selection, a lot of throwbacks. Had so much fun with the pinball machines - you can play to have fun and not worry about having a pocket full of quarters!“

“Local establishment that never disappoints. Generous pours, great menu and food. Pizza's are their specialty. Very cool atmosphere. Jukebox, ATM, keno. Multiple TV's for watching games. Great place to watch Superbowl. Outside is a pet friendly secure area patio area.“

“Stopped on my way through to New York and had a bowl of spicy beef noodle soup. Set me right all the way home. Since March I have dreamt, and spoken of this soup often. I had not had some of the things in the recipe before, like banana flower, and it was a joyous and unforgettable learning experience. I cannot recommend this restaurant enough. I like that they kept the old Irish pub decor from the previous incarnation, it is a pleasure to eat here.“

“Everybody is so friendly, Rob the owner always makes you feel comfortable and welcomed, fun games and different events all the time where everyone is encouraged to participate, bands sometimes, dancing if you want .. just an all around great place!“

“Cigars ordered Wednesday the 25th, tracked by Canada Post, were supposed to be delivered Friday the 27th. But the same day I received a message from Canada Post saying they made a delivery error and don't know when they will deliver my package. Well done, Canada Post, and thank you to Victory Cigars for the 5-star service! 👍“

“If you’re looking for a true neighborhood gem, Spruce Street Tavern in Clinton never disappoints. I’m there often enough to call myself a regular, and every visit reminds me why I keep coming back. The pizza is consistently awesome—crispy, flavorful, and way better than you’d expect from a tavern—and the drinks are always poured right. The service is exactly what you want in a local spot: friendly, quick, and genuinely welcoming. Whether it’s a busy night or a quieter visit, the atmosphere hits that perfect balance of lively and relaxed. Spruce Street Tavern has become one of my go-to places, and if you haven’t checked it out yet, you’re missing out. Highly recommend!“

“Reopened with a new manager. Absolutely awesome. Very cool vibe with incredible craft cocktails made with fresh ingredients. Also offer many food items. Tons of parking behind the building. If you're looking for a new place for drinks check it out now. You will not be disappointed.“

This was my first time in this bar and must say I had a good time. I would definitely come back. It was a peaceful atmosphere.“

“This is what you call a neighborhood bar! The place where everybody knows your name and they buy you a drink or order food for the pub once in a while and vice versa. All the bartenders are great on any night! Cold beer, popcorn machine, keno, lottery scratch tickets, video games and certain game night leagues.“

“expectacuiar rico muy buen ambiente“

“Real review of a real situation. But I’d like to mention one thing before getting into it: the half pound lobster roll was absolutely delicious. The bread, lobster quality and quantity, and flavor were all high marks. Probably the best lobster roll in the region. I’ve tried them all. Or at least most. This lobster roll is delicious. And it has a true half pound feel. That aside… I ordered takeout. Half the order was incorrect and a clam chowder was missing. It happens. This place is so fantastic, however, they wanted to go way above and beyond to rectify the situation. I’m so impressed with Sole. And very thankful we have a super solid (actually excellent) seafood place right here in the Wu tang.“

“Excellent rock ’n’ roll venue!
The Raven has just the right amount of grit that a true rock club should have. It regularly features both local and national acts, making it a great spot to catch up-and-coming bands as well as established names. The staff is always friendly, and the owner’s deep knowledge of rock ’n’ roll history makes the place feel authentic and connected to the music.

One of the highlights is the massive mural on the side of the building, featuring New England legends like Nuno Bettencourt, Hugo Ferreira, and Aerosmith’s Steven Tyler. Inside, you’ll also find an impressive rock ’n’ roll collection that adds to the atmosphere.

Even if you’re just passing through, it’s worth a stop for the mural, the history, the vibe, and of course the music 🎶🎸“

“Great food, amazing mojitos, and awesome service! We’ve been to Green Island a handful of times and have zero complaints. The dollar oyster happy hour is something we’ve been missing in Worcester. Bradley is an awesome server, so kind and attentive. Definitely recommend!“

“Festive holiday drinks last night were delicious and made us very merry. Fantastic staff, service and dinner too. Just what my elf and I needed.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ We celebrated our 35th anniversary and my husband’s 56th birthday at Joey’s Bar & Grill in Worcester, and it was perfect from start to finish. The staff went above and beyond — multiple people came by to thank us for coming, especially when they learned we had driven two hours to be there. That kind of genuine hospitality is rare and made the night extra special. Dinner started with warm homemade bread and oil for dipping. Scott had the braised short ribs, I had the steak tips with grilled veggies — both were absolutely delicious. We ended by sharing the most incredible strawberry shortcake with homemade grilled biscuits, lemon curd, strawberries, ice cream, and whipped cream (with a candle, of course!). 🍓✨ In a city with so many options, Joey’s was truly the best choice. We’ll definitely be back — even though it’s a two-hour drive, it’s absolutely worth it!“

“What a great Italian experience! One of Worcesters finest restaurants it has to offer.

VIA's location can easily be seen by its big golden lit up sign that can be seen at the highway. It is also on a street that is commonly known for it's restaurants in Worcester. The parking is good as long as you ate going after work hours and even if so there is street parking.

VIA's atmosphere feels authentic and modern Italian as it has dim lighting with candlelit atmosphere. This gives away to the brick and mortar style of the building which gives it more of a city Italian restaurant. The music was a bit all over the place from EDM to todays hits. Nothing vulgar but didn't set the mood properly. There was plenty of seating but understandable to have a reservation as the dining room (and outdoor 4 season porch) filled up very quickly. The booths were a bit small but can be moved for better adjustment. The bathrooms are in the kitchen walking past the fresh and housemade display of the gelato giving you a glimpse of what the kitchen is like.

The service was attentive and took care of every thing that made the experience that much better. Our server was friendly and didn't mind to have a small chat that wouldn't have impeded others experience. There was another server that went through and asked us if we needed things that our original server had already asked us. The servers were nice, respectable, and relatable.

Our drinks we had was the Old Fashioned Sweet Potato and the Raspberry Mojito. Both were good and not too strong so that the flavors came through nicely. The thing that made it a good experience for me was the asking of what bourbon I would like with my Old Fashioned. That is next level customer service without any additional cost for substitution.

The food we had was pretty good and worth going back again to try other items. We started off with the house made Ricotta with local honey. The ricotta was creamy, smooth, and easily spreadable. With a local dab of honey all on top of homemade bread toasted on one side made it perfect for a starter to the evening. The main course was pretty good also with the Chicken Parm and Chicken Piccata. The Chicken Parm had a perfect amount of sauce and cheese topping with the chicken itself being perfectly fried that the chicken was still moist. The Chicken Piccata was cooked all little to long and had a slight chew to it with the breading not being to present. The piccata sauce was not too buttery but didn't have to much lemon zest either. The sauce was good if you were able to get some from the bottom to have on the chicken. The capers and grape tomatoes are always a touch on the piccata that is needed. As for the noodles, they were fresh and tasted fantastic. For our dessert we had (of course) Tiramisu and Affagato. The Tiramisu was a good (little bit too much after dinner) portion. The lady fingers were not over soaked and the marscarpone was creamy. The coffee and rum flavors were very present throughout the dessert. As for the Affagato, 2 wonderful vanilla Gelato scoops with crumples of biscotti and with the Pirouline sticking out of the Gelato made the presentation amazing. With the espresso nice and warm and smells controlling the air around made a wonderful pour over the Gelato. The combination was nothing short of being a great affagato.

Overall, I will definitely be coming back to try other dishes and wines as VIA is what it means to have an Italian experience in the city of Worcester.“

“Adam was our server, made us feel very welcomed and comfortable. We had clam chowder, delicious, and a pizza, the best ever. Cooked perfect. We will definitely be back, hopefully have Adam again, so pleasant and appears to be happy doing what he does. Thank you“

“Excellent lunch this Saturday.“

“Went out looking for dessert after a disappointing dinner and found this place, it is just fantastic. We had boozy cocoa drinks and some lovely pastry. The couches are very comfortable too!“

“I arrived close to closing time but the cashier was really friendly and even offered to prepare meals, but I chose from what was already ready. Really good flan, although the area isn't really inspiring safety (maybe that's a Worcester problem in general).“

“Love the event space. I did not eat at the restraunt, but I did attend a show. Although the Mansion is huge, the show room I attended was intimate. It seems to have potential to open up to become a larger space. The details of the Bull Mansion were intricate and very authentic. The house has been kept up very well. The bathrooms are pretty and clean. Fancy! If you enjoy old architecture, you will enjoy this space.“
