    a hand holding a cigar and a glass of beer
    Ron C.

    When it comes to cigars the only two choices you have in Worcester are really Victory and Michael's. I prefer Victory as I like the atmosphere more, the cigar selection seems to be more premium, and the majority of the staff are great. Mark the owner is a great guy and the drink selection here is also good. Ben is an awesome bartender as he's very personable. There are a good amount of regulars here and most are also friendly.

    For those who enjoy a cigar, this is a good spot for the local area. Large humidor, substantial seating, large bar area, and quieter back room area for coversation.

    This is my favorite cigar bar in Massachusetts, better than the Cigar Masters in Boston and way better than the one in Worcester.

    Pros: Cozy, British pub style atmosphere; interesting small plates, not too expensive…read more Cons: gets extremely crowded in the evenings; very loud when crowded; staff is snobbish I've been here a few times, and my most enjoyable experiences were during lunch. If you can sit at the bar or in one of the 2 tables by the window, you'll get excellent service. The charcuterie board is great, and the drink selection is also pretty good. However, the last time we came here, it was the middle of the afternoon on Valentine's day. I'm from Boston and Cape Cod and my partner is European; we look like it and we act like it. Upon a brief interaction with the hostess, we both felt spoken down to: "YOU'RE trying to come in on Valentine's day? Without a reservation?" This, coming from someone with a Worcester accent who was dressed like a boy going to church choir. We were shooed away into the dining area: "I guess you could stand over there and look at the menu". It's about 330 in the afternoon- most tables are completely empty. Then a different staff member, also with a working class accent, says "I need you to clear out of this walkway because this is for staff only", despite the fact that no staff were walking there and we had been standing there about 20-30 seconds. We left without saying anything as the hostess tried to say something to us. If you want to feel spoken down to, in the working class city of Worcester no less, come here. Alternately, if you're feeling aggressive and want to squeeze your way in to sit touching shoulder to shoulder, come here. The time before this, the hostess was a soft-spoken woman who mumbled a lot; we had to elbow people out of the way at the middle bar section, which is where she directed us. Maybe in another year I'll want to come back for lunch only. Honestly, I'd rather drive back to Boston if I'm going to be treated snobbishly.

We enjoyed our takeout meals! The chicken broccoli alfredo was a huge portion with very good homemade alfredo sauce. The picanha steak dinner came with the most tender pieces of picanha I have ever tried. The Brazilian chicken stroganoff was also very good. It had lots of mushrooms and great flavor. The only thing I didn't care for was the rice that came with the steak and the stroganoff. It was not the typical rice you would expect to receive and it lacked... I cannot even name it.. it just wasn't good. We will definitely head to this restaurant to try it in person.

I hate to be that person so we just paid and left but the photo speaks for itself... margarita flatbread was also pretty bad. The sauce tasted tasted like salsa, and it had squares of melted halloumi on it? Looked nothing like one of the pictures I saw on Google reviews so I'm thinking they may have just ran out of ingredients yesterday. Even just the restaurant itself was pretty gross. Sticky floors, dirty plates and silverware given to us, dirty bathroom. Definitely won't be going back.

We were thirsty and looking for a quick bit, and happened upon the Worcester Beer Garden. It has very pleasant outside dining area, ideal for a drink and some interesting bar food. The menu options include dishes such as: Pierogis $11.00 Nachos $16.00 Quesadilla $14.00 Bavarian Pretzels $9.00 Pickle Chips $9.00 We opted to share a corned beef roll. I'd like to provide more detail, but their website menu page isn't working, and it's difficult to find a menu for them. Prices may not be up to date. We thought the roll was very tasty, albeit somewhat heavy. My beer was excellent, and the wine was cold and refreshing according to my co-diner. The waitress was excellent. It wasn't busy yet, but it was getting busier. They have games here (putting, corn hole, etc.) and on busy nights open up a pavilion area with a giant tv screen. We had a pleasant respite from the heat and look forward to returning to what they say is the largest patio area in Worcester. 3.5 stars rounded up to four for the venue and service on this visit.

Everyone was just kind of hanging out separately but together, the only weird thing was the servers had trouble finding numbers of tables- but eventually they found us! It honestly was quicker service than expected. The food. THE FOOD. Amazing. I started with the soft pretzel and it was amazing. It was warm, soft, chewy and perfectly salty. It was a deep dark brown and very large. They served it hanging and with cheese and mustard sides. It was great. For an entree I ordered the chicken pesto quesadilla. Floored. It was crispy, and delicious. The pesto was really well balanced, and I love the sour cream and lettuce on the sides. This came with a side of queso too that was straight from heaven. We didn't get any napkins at the table so it was a little greasier than expected but overall great. This place is over an hour away from our house- and we are planning to come back just to eat here.
