    Tom Savini at Silver Screen Con 2025
    Susan R.

    We are here! We are here to be entertained! The DCU center put together the Silver Screen Conn of 2025. This is an all inclusive horror festival with guest appearances by some of the industries best and stabbing artists to scare you all to pieces . For example, Matthew Lillard from our favorite horror movie spooky installments. This venue and festival is from the mind of Spencer Charnes, and the band Ice Nine Kills. This is the fan base . This is the fourth year of the festival. It's truly amazing to be here. The music, horror movies and ink! What could be better ! If you are a local to the area of Worcester it's a great place for your local area events and conferences that come together. The activities of Worcester such as sports and concerts continue to entertain all the people that come and visit. Enjoy live entertainment and enjoy the city and all its activities and attractions that it gives you . Until the next time we are in town together

    Came here for the Silver Scream Con. Talk about celebrity galore....Matthew Lillard, John Kassir aka the Cryptkeeper, Kane Hodder and so many more There was a lot of vendors, selling horror, theme items, and keepsakes. Even horror tattoos. Yes a tattoo studio at this event! Perfect for the spooky and macabre artwork! I definitely know for a next event to get there hours early. The line from Matthew Lillard was the longest, hours for waiting and honestly wasn't worth it. Although it was a chance to meet a celebrity, I will be better prepared for next time

    We came here for an Iron Maiden concert this was our second time seeing them here and it did not disappoint not only is Iron Maiden one of the best bands ever but this venue is great for concerts. We were in section 109 row A and the view was incredible we had a side view but we were so close to the stage we could really see everything and it was so incredible. The crew working were incredible we had the VIP pass and they helped us with everything it was such and incredible night and I am looking forward to seeing another show here!

    This whole top half is an obstruction.  You couldn't even see the screens or platforms to the back.

    This was my first experience here and unfortunately it wasn't what I was hoping for. Tran-Siberian Orchestra was playing. We got seats at section 233. I reviewed the listings in both Seat Geek as well as Ticketmaster and neither of these mentioned one thing about an obstructed view. After I was already there, and seated did we realize the reality. These were $100 tickets with a view that I couldn't believe would be acceptable for even $15. More than half was obstructed by the 3rd floor and on top of that you could WHISPER to the person next to you and hear each other with ease. You guys couldn't even put a set of speakers up there to at least provide some sort of concert experience? We drove 2 hours to get there and I brought a party of 7. I've been to over 50 venues and more than 100 concerts. This is by far the worst seating I've ever seen ever... anywhere. The band was awesome as usual, but never again will I make the trip to DCU.

    This place is so small but I kind of prefer it that way. You're close to the stage no matter where you sit. It's also easy to navigate around. We went for Disney on Ice. Man do they know how to get you with the prices of the items to purchase. They were charging 35 for a pic with a fake Ariel. Just outrageous demands for such cheap items. The show itself was ok. The best part was the Frozen piece of it. The back up skaters were doing better than the main characters. Take in consideration this is an adults perspective so probably not the one to consider when going to something like Disney on Ice.

    It was at least 30 minutes because the registers didn't work. No options but you can't bring in outside food.

    For our cheer event the bathrooms were disgusting. Toilets that don't flush. There's a bunch of people when you walk in making sure you don't bring in outside food or drinks but no staff cleaning. We waited in 15 minute lines for unhealthy, gross food only to be told registers were down. What a joke. Do better DCU.

    BEWARE OF FALSE ADVERTISING!

    I was very pleased to be taking my two young sons to the Marvel Universe Live show on August 27, 2015. Unfortunately, I have to report that I was very disappointed with the service I received in the DCU Center Ticket Box Office. After waiting in a lengthy line with two anxious boys, I really would have appreciated a little courtesy. But I was in for quite a rude awakening. In my hand I held a coupon (SEE ATTACHED 1) stating that I would "SAVE $10 ON OPENING NIGHT TICKETS! GOOD ONLY Thu. AUG. 27 at 7:00pm". I presented the coupon and was told by the clerk that, "This is not a coupon, it's just a promo." I pointed to the text on both sides of the coupon, showing the large bold font, clearing reading "SAVE $10 ON OPENING NIGHT TICKETS!" I asked the clerk if it was Thursday, August 27, Opening Night. He confirmed. I asked him how I can redeem the written offer as advertised on the coupon. He repeated that I was not holding a coupon. I asked him if I didn't meet some sort of condition or restriction was being applied. He only repeated that I didn't have a coupon. Although I was really annoyed, I realized that I was holding up a long line of anxious children, including two of my own. I did not feel like arguing or further delaying the line of folks behind me. I took out my wallet and asked for the price of a ticket. The clerk said $21. I presented my employment badge (which entitles me to 10% off at the DCU box office) and I mentioned the discount to the clerk. The clerk became visibly annoyed and rolled his eyes. He said, "The only discounts available are with vouchers." I held the coupon back up to the window and said, "I'm holding the voucher, it says $10 off!" The clerk stepped back away from the window and came back with another clerk, whom I assumed was a supervisor. He was speaking to her from behind the glass and appeared to be explaining my issue with her. The supervisor then stepped up to my clerk's computer/register and started to type something. Without looking at me or addressing me in any way what so ever, she then turns around and the clerk completes the transaction. He took my debit card from the slot beneath the soundproof plexiglass and hands me the receipt to sign. The receipt said $21.00. That was the full, regular advertised price of the ticket (SEE ATTACHED 2). The DCU Center is guilty of false advertising, very poor customer service and dishonoring their discount agreement with [The company I work for]. The DCU Center box office is guilty of negligent misrepresentation, breach of contract, breach of good faith and fair dealing and unfair competition. As such, DCU Center has been unjustly enriched as a result of this wrongful conduct. I hope to never do business with the DCU Center again. I wonder if there are others out there that experienced similar unethical marketing practices by the DCU Center? Class action suit anyone???

    We cannot speak highly enough of Cold Harbor Brewing! We held my daughter's graduate school…read moregraduation party here at the end of May, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations. Throughout the planning process, we worked with the owner, Will, and General Manager, Andrew, who was organized, responsive, and incredibly helpful. Communication was always prompt, and he made sure every detail was addressed leading up to the event. On the day of the party, Bobby, Stan, and Jordan were outstanding. They helped everything run seamlessly and were always available whenever we needed assistance. Their knowledge of the venue and event hosting made the entire experience stress-free and enjoyable. The food was delicious! Our guests enjoyed various appetizers, pizza, chicken parmesan and pasta primavera. The cookies and brownies served warm from the oven for dessert were a particular highlight and the perfect ending to a wonderful celebration. Everyone who attended was impressed by both the venue and the exceptional service. We utilized the Full Tank Room and a portion of the patio. Our guests are still talking about it! We received countless compliments throughout the evening, and it truly made the occasion feel special. We would not hesitate to host another event at Cold Harbor Brewing in the future. We also frequent the restaurant and have always had good experiences. Five stars all around!

Got there on a Thursday at 5:30 and could barely park it was so full. I was worried about a big wait but it turns out there was a party in their back room space (that looked amazing BTW). We were greeted and seated right away and our server Olivia T came right over. She never stopped hustling the whole night! Beer was still great, one click off the big boys but noble contenders in the mass beer game. The food was, quite honestly, nothing to look at but the flavor was pretty good. The avocado on the turkey burger looked like it came out of a bottle, but it tasted great. The corn salsa on the burger was also delicious, just wished there was a tiny bit more. Overall, it was another great visit only this time in a wonderful new space.
