46 Best Bars in Worcester

“We've been going to Via since they opened. The recent menu changes were disappointing. Our favorite menu items were gone. The Fonduta of Italian cheeses and the veal scallopine are no longer offered and the short ribs, although still very good, are served with tortellini now, which I don't think is an improvement. Also notable is the servers at the Worcester restaurant group restaurants all seem to be new and the team serving dynamic is not as it used to be, either. We were told that there is a new head Chef, but rather than adding new menu items, they seem to have just removed some of the best ones.“

“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.“

“I came here the night before my sons funeral. A friend of mine who was like an uncle to my son was with me. We had a great time. The bar tender was great. The drinks where strong, but enjoyable. 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.“

“It's a Friday night at 107 Tap, and the energy is buzzing with excitement. The karaoke night is in full swing, and people are lining up to showcase their singing talents.

“Fantastic spot. John is s throw back to an old school Irish bar keep — smart as a whip and a wonderful conversationalist. Go seek out John and enjoy the spirit. P.S. John, there’s nobility, no matter your profession, in working hard and trying to make a better life for your children. You sir, are royal.“

“I don’t know why I waited so long to go here. This place is phenomenal. It’s so worth the over one hour drive from N.H. I will definitely be back! Great atmosphere and friendly people.“

“LGBTQ-friendly according to an employee there. All are welcome of course. Friendly staff.“

“beautiful atmosphere pleasant place to go to enjoy meet up with friends“

“comfortable, great service, good drinks, pool tables and nice music.“

“It’s a cool concept to modernize gaming and going to a bar. I wish more people came to recognize and appreciate this place but it’s not meant for everybody. There is a cover fee of five dollars before going in, with a bunch of PC games add ons as well as some old-school and Nintendo switch. There are two bars that specializes in different cocktails, which I really liked the Matcha martini. The Matcha had a familiar taste to real deal and it was pleasant to sip on. The espresso martini might’ve been a hint sour, but it’s brewed with espresso, wasn’t a fan of the overall taste. The pizza here is pretty good, and they tend to switch up their menus for events.“

“Calamari app is AMAZING 😎🤩“

“love it - and the new food being offered - amazing, authentic“

“great local spot“

“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.“

“The place to be for bikers and friends.“

“This is my mom and I's favorite place to go to play pool. I live out of state but still travel once in a while when visiting mom and we always make a stop here. All of the customers know eachother, its a very close group. The new owner is doing great things with this place!“

“I go to the Galaway bay every once in awhile with some friends of mine and i highly recommended them the bartenders are great and the drinks are just the way I like them ice cold“

“Cool spot good for a drink“

“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“

“The thing that really sets this place apart is the sound. Seriously. Give whoever does the sound here a friggin medal. Vocals clear? Guitar bass and drums sitting well together in a live mix? Thats possible? The Raven proves it. It's right in the middle of the hood so not the best place to hang around after a show.“

“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.“

“expectacuiar rico muy buen ambiente“

“I had the pleasure of dining at 1885 Bar and Restaurant, and it was absolutely amazing! From the moment we walked in, the ambiance was warm and inviting, with a perfect blend of classic charm and modern style. The staff were incredibly friendly and attentive, making us feel right at home.“

“For the location? It's a must. West Boylston St is far removed from the "Worcester Nightlife" but this bar was clean, spacious, seasonally decorated, adequately priced, with presentable bartenders and a good vibe from the crowd.“

“Overall good, my side dish was a bit cool. Not the servers fault. It would have been nice to be advised that the Kobe beef filet was so expensive. I didn't know the price until I received the check . It was nearly triple all the entrees on the menu.“

“Really upbeat fun atmosphere Zach, our server, made excellent drinks and recommendations for food. My new favorite place!“

“I came in with a group for a birthday and the food and service were great. We ordered everything from Guiness Pie to Chicken Pot Pie. No complaints from anyone and our waitress, Bridget deserves a raise for putting up with us! We'll be back!“

“My wife and I have been going here for years. Great food & drinks. Miss the lobster ravioli though, that was on the Thursday menu. Would love to see it come back.“

“I love the espresso martini! They have a baklava cheesecake & Mississippi chocolate pie to die for“

“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.“

“The most delicious sushi 🍣 Staff are friendly. New place has beautiful decor. My fav is the Kai roll. Drinks are fab too. Can’t wait to go back!“

“My husband and I sat at the bar. Bartender was great. Very attentive, great personality. Interacted with a few waitresses that were all very personable! Food was on point. We had classic calamari which was cooked perfect and was lightly battered. Very tasty. We both ordered the Nashville chicken tacos and they were amazing! Dessert drinks were delicious! Apple martini and skrewy White Russian. Highly recommend!!“

“Ordered a last minute customized cake for my bestie’s birthday. I gave the order in the morning and yeah the cake was ready by evening!!

We really loved the Tiramisu cake and the taste was amazing! Thank you so much for this beautiful cake:)

Highly recommended!“

“Always great service and great food!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Went on a Saturday 5pm. It was quiet as it was early. My husband was happy with it, I was just ehh. If I could give it 3.5 stars I would. Ordered Prosecco was not nice and cold...it was tepid/cool. Husbands beer was cold. We had truffle fries as an appetizer. Literally just fries I could have made at home with some truffle oil and Parmesan. Husband ordered caprese salad that was good. It was nothing special. 4 thin sliced tomatoes with burratta and some balsamic drizzled over. I had a salad with salmon. The salad was drenched but it was tasty, tomatoes, a few cukes, very thin and crispy croutons and the salmon which was a little under done in my opinion. My husband had the chicken parm, nicely cooked, pasta seemed like homemade he really liked it. The bill came to $101.65 with tip $126.65. I wouldn't care about going back again, my husband might want to though.“

“First time here St.Patrick’s W/E really fun atmosphere & great food, value & service. This Irishman got Polish food & my Polish friend got steak tips ! Cool band playing. Bostonians like us prefer Worcester & Providence! ☘️“

“My wife and love this place. Awesome! Food!“

“10/10! The staff make you feel like family and are truly the best!! They always go above and beyond and the food is amazing!!“
