45 Best Bars in Worcester

“Ok y’all this bar is not what it seems. This is the definition of don’t judge a book by its cover. The atmosphere here was amazing. It has a small town, homey, everyone knows everyone vibe. There was a band during my visit (Dan and friends? Something like that) and they were INCREDIBLE!!!!! Absolutely insanely good. They killed it. Live music and cold beer, what more can you ask? The food however, not the best. Had the meatball sub sandwich or whatever and it was ehh, ok at best. The atmosphere here is worth a visit.“

“Great little local pub. Friendly atmosphere and great vibes. I had a great time.“

“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.“

“Very nice little cigar bar friendly people and staff“

“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.“

“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“

“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!“

“Calamari app is AMAZING 😎🤩“

“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.“

“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.“

“Ahh seafood! We chose Sole based on TA reviews, as Worcester, MA, isn't somewhere we'd been before. Thanks, TA reviewers! You were right on the mark. The oysters were fresh, our baked seafood platters were cooked and seasoned perfectly, and the service was wonderful. \n\nThis is a larger restaurant, so it can get a little noisy, but overall, a great meal!“

“expectacuiar rico muy buen ambiente“

“amazing food great atmosphere“

Can't say enough good things about this place absolutely love this establishment it never has disappointed!“

“I was in your establishment for the very first time today. The atmosphere was very pleasant, service was excellent and the food was delicious and the prices were very reasonable! I plan on returning sometime in the near future! 👍🏻“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“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!“

“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).“

“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.“

“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!“

“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.“

“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!“

“Always great service and great food!“

“Excellent food and service!“

“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! ☘️“
