“my favorite spot in town“

“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! 👍“

“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.“

“The food was outstanding and they don’t skimp on the portions. I got the yellow tail tuna and was expecting 4 or 5 slices. Triple that! On a bed of perfectly cooked rice and mixed vegetables. We were a party of 4 and the other 3 all had the same great experience. If you love seafood, this place is a must visit.“

“Disappointed with one of my favorite restaurants in Worcester. I ordered the lobster bisque. Brown in color with a very weird texture for a bisque. Looked like glue. The haddock with lobster newburg sauce was very disappointing too. The newburg sauce was not great. Plenty of lobster on both the bisque and in the haddock. Did not have the ritz crumbs.“

“Looking forward to a visit when out that way! That name GAMBRINO rings a bell!“

“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!“

“the irish sessions on the second and fourth sundays each month! right now the queen of hearts drawing“

“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!“

“Tried to go to Freeplay and they wouldn't let us in with our motorcycle gear. Drove down the street and had one of the most fun nights of our lives. Easy parking and they were super accommodating. Bartender was funny yet extremely professional. Oh yeah they are cash only! They have an ATM though!“

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

“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.“

“Calamari app is AMAZING 😎🤩“

“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!“

“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.“

“⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 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!“

“expectacuiar rico muy buen ambiente“

“Great venue, the sounds reveberate the walls well enough to reach the outside patio. Allows artists to pull you in with their beat alone. The lack of wifi/cell service helps connect others and really disconnect with the outside world to vibe with the people and artists. The pool room and general esthetic, really match that Edgar Allen Poe energy, without being full of themselves. Great vibes all around.“

“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. You and your friends decide to join in on the fun and put your names on the list. As you wait for your turn, you cheer on the brave souls who take the stage, belting out their favorite tunes. The atmosphere is filled with laughter, applause, and the occasional off-key note. Finally, it's your group's turn, and you all step up to the mic with confidence. Whether you're singing a classic ballad or a catchy pop hit, the crowd cheers you on, creating an incredibly supportive and inclusive environment. You laugh, dance, and sing your hearts out, creating unforgettable memories with your friends. The night flies by in a blur of music, laughter, and camaraderie. It's a karaoke night at 107 Tap that you'll always remember as a blast! 🎤🎶“

“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.“

“we had dinner here tonight. we both had the bacon cheese burgers. we like ours medium rare which can be difficult to get. they were cooked perfectly and were excellent. out server, Scarlett, was great and made our day by telling us that her papa near had recently passed and how much my husband reminded her of him. the prices were good and we would definitely come back.“

“Delicious Ramen and Sushi!!“

“This was our second visit to Via. We love the atmosphere, and the food is good. A few things to note:

On our Saturday night visit they did not have valet parking offered, which was no issue for us since we had a very early reservation, but parking can be difficult.

The meatballs are the best meatballs I have had, however the rigatoni was overcooked. 😞 sadness. The marscapone cheesecake was a 10. The bread service was equally a 10.

It appears that they may use a two waitstaff system which is something that I never understood. Unless one of them was in training? It didn't help our experience, but I will say Connor was the more personable and attentive half and fit the persona of Via best. We enjoyed his unrushed style best.

I love the open kitchen view so if you like that experience ask for a table with a view of the bustling kitchen.

On your way to the restroom you get a nice view of the Gelato case, which is a bit odd, but I am sure they have given that some thought.
All in all a solid 4 🌟. We will be back!“

“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!“

“Here, haven’t been before and was pleasantly surprised. I got a coffee, coxhina, flan and some donuts as well. Very nice guy at the counter and some good chatting with us. It’s nice having a coffee place in downtown again. Will be back!“

“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.“

“Excellent food and service!“

“Always great service and great food!“

“Visited Sonoma for the All day brunch. The food was excellent. Bacon and sausages were delicious with perfect eggs. The creamy grits with huge prawns were also outstanding.
Chef Derek visited our table and our server Tim was friendly and attentive. They both made us feel specially welcoming. The restaurant is beautiful and the amazing water fountain outside adds a lovely atmosphere. I highly recommend Sonoma restaurant for a special brunch. Plenty of parking makes it a great place for a group to enjoy.“

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

“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! ☘️“

“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!!“
