It's a great bar and the atmosphere is relaxing and laid back. I think they make the best cocktails in the city. Looking forward to my next visit.

This place has no kitchen. They get the food from Theatre cafe across the street - which is infested with ROACHES!!! Food is bought at discount stores and they pretend it's homemade.

On the positive note the craft cocktails looked great and you could observe the bartenders skill and passion for the craft. They have a very good selection of liquor and will likely have your favorite. There was no dinner menu as the description suggests! There is a selection of charcuterie and cheese plates. We ordered a small. Gouda plate. I love a good aged smoked Gouda. About an ounce of Gouda, nothing special and some probably Pepperidge Farm crackers. There was music playing, despite Bose style speakers mounted throughout it sounded like it came from an 80s boom box in the back. Now this may be due to the older track, unfortunately music recorded 50+ years ago do not have the fidelity our systems are capable of today. Go for the drinks.

Stopped in here to get a shot of tequila and waiting 10 minutes. And the. The bar tender told me it was going to be a while because he was setting up. So unprofessional and he could have literally poured me a shot in 1 minute. Talking about loosing money customer service is horrible.

Definitely a Bar worth visiting for the variety they have in Store. Might not be a great place to come right before a show at the Hanover as this place gets super busy and crowded.Come sometime later or another day and you will get to interact with the Owner (who makes some great cocktails) and will learn about the place. He definitely knows his whiskey - Scotch/Bourbon/Canadian/Irish :Hardly you'll find a Yamazaki Single18 Yr in any good bar in any city (I saw it in one Whiskey bar in DC however they are consistently ranked in top 10-15 in the country). Yes - The muse has one.This is one place where you come in to have 1 or a few nicely made cocktails with some interesting condiments(Ask him about the cherries he puts in a manhattan or a Old fashioned). Wish, WorcesterDowntown comes up with more such places which definitely makes a neighborhood proud.Already been there multiple times and willcontinue to take anyone I know who loves a good cocktail.

Really well made drinks & easy going vibe.We were hoping for some kind of food but it appears the kitchen service wasn't running on the sat night we came.

The unique cocktails here do not disappoint! I came in with a group of 12 on a Friday night and the server was extremely accommodating to our large group and loved giving recommendations

Terrific whiskey collection! The ambiance is super relaxed, great for hanging out and talking. Prices are good and there seem to be some impressive mixed drinks.

I almost don't want to leave this review because this place is a fantastic hidden gem. If you are a cocktail n**** or just enjoy a good drink made with good ingredients, this is the place for you. Owner and bartender John is super friendly and makes fantastic cocktails with a revolving menu. I had a Bee's Knees and a daiquiri (made with Hamilton 86) that were delicious and made with fresh fruit juices. This will be my spot in Worcester for a good cocktail going forward.

My husband and I stopped in for drinks and we ordered a couple Mai Tais…what we got I’m not sure but it tasted like lime juice and vodka. We both took a sip and looked at each other confused. Then I look down and saw there was a fruit fly in the drink. Asked for the check and was still charged full price even after showing the fly to our server. That is why I give this business 1 star.

Great bar you need to check out if you're looking for something to do in Worcester. They have a great selection of whiskey's including Bourbons Ryes, Scotches, and even Japanese whiskey. Atmosphere was great, the bartender was very attentive and helpful. I will be back.

We enjoy going here when we go to Hanover Theater. The drinks and food are good, although a little overpriced. We accept the prices in exchange that it is very close to the theater. The reason for the 4-star review is that they do not open all time at 6 pm. We went to the Hanover Theater on April 1st for the Donna Summer show. We parked at the federal garage around 6:30 pm. We planned on visiting this place for drinks. They were closed with not a soul in sight. We ended up going somewhere else. Just disappointed that they are not consistent with opening time.

Not the vibe that the menu and website gives off. Unfortunately not what we were looking for. Ic your liking for a chill sit down place not the place. Good drinks but more on the expensive side.

Place is amazing! Super friendly and personable staff, unique cocktails, beautiful charcuterie boards. Can't wait to go back!

Sat for 20 mins and was ignored, got up and left. Place was virtually empty, only about 5 other tables with 2 servers and 2 bartenders working. The 2 servers walked by our table multiple times each, tending to the other guests, wiping down tables and focusing on their sidework. I must smell repulsive or something ? I won’t take it personally. Menu is pretty small for food, so if you’re coming here to eat think light noshing. Incredible whiskey menu, I’m genuinely disappointed I didn’t get the chance to get a glass, offering 1, 1.5 & 2 oz pours
