    Day trip to Worcester without my pup and landed at Vincent's because Breens Cafe was unexpectedly closed for Memorial Day. Turned out not be a blessing because the meatball sandwich and Guiness and hospitality at Vincent's was awesome.

    I still love this place and still come most if not every time I'm back in Worcester. I am adding an update to my previous review because, for the first time, I had the pleasure of sampling their cuisine. One of my co-patrons ordered their famous cheese plate. It is a large plate with chunks of cheese, onions, mustard, and a sleeve of saltines. They really could not have done a better job of curating this plate to really precisely represent their vibe. Also, when you're there, this combo of shit is just what the doctor ordered. That is all.

    If you're in the area, this place is a must visit! I came here from out of town, so I'm unfortunately no regular, but absolutely loved everything about Vincent's. Even on a Sunday night, the place is lively with great live music (shout out to Big Jon Short), friendly service and patrons, and delicious meatballs. It's a bit off the beaten path, which makes it feel almost like a speakeasy. Highly recommend!

    What a great find, we stopped in after a local bartender suggested this place. The vibe is old school dive bar full of charm and character. Music was chill and appropriate for the space. Tried the meatball sando its 10/10

    Vincent's is quite possibly my new favorite spot in Worcester (and among my favorite dive bars anywhere). It's everything I want in a dive bar -- great classic cocktails, extensive beer list, even wine and sangria, a small but solid food menu, and a dark and cozy interior as well as outdoor seating. I started with a Tito's martini and a cheese plate. The cheese plate is comical in a good way, with an entire sleeve of saltines, what seems to be an entire block of cheddar cheese, and a horseradish mustard with a nice kick and some pieces of raw onion. So unexpected but works somehow. We were there on a Friday with fantastic weather so we sat outside and listened to live music at the Shack, which was 60s hits by Doug Moore who rocked it. Next was an Old Fashioned and meatball sub. There isn't much I can say about the meatball sub that hasn't been said, so just get it. You won't regret it. The bartenders were attentive and down to earth, and I liked both the outdoor and indoor atmospheres. I love this place and will be returning when I'm back in Worcester.

    Everything outdoors for the summer.

    This was my first time at Vincent's ever and it's during the pandemic. So I cannot attest to how crowded it can get because everything was very relaxed. The service was really attentive. Kristen was very quick to get us our drinks. The food menu is super limited, but it is perfect for the kind of hang it is. House made meatballs and sausage from Fairway with bread and butter. Perfectly filling on a nice summer night with music in the back unde tents.

    cocktail garden & kitchen is a brand new restaurant and outdoor lounge. the ambiance is cute,…read morethere's an indoor bar with a couple tables and a large outdoor patio area filled with comfy chairs, couches and covered in lights. we came at 10pm on a wednesday, the kitchen was closed but we came for the drinks anyways. they do a great job with the drink presentation, using different presentations with smoke which is entertaining and pretty! their drinks look beautiful but the drinks are very watered down or sweet from the sweet heart and mezcal drinks we tried. for ~$17 each, i loved the presentation but we both didn't feel there was nearly any alcohol in them, either sugary or watery. maybe it's a method for you to order more? mezcal 2.5/10 sweet heart 3/10 although they have a great ambiance and vibe, and fun presentation, since we came for a single good drink, it was lacking. for $17 a drink, the drinks shouldn't be this weak. this is a new place so i'm sure they have some things to work out, and i would highly encourage them to just add more alcohol to their drinks and this would be an ideal place to get after dinner drinks and relax on their outdoor patio. kitchen was closed so can't speak for the food. the neighborhood is very busy and loud, so while there may be plenty of space for an intimate or group conversations, the street is pretty noisy, even on a wednesday. i do feel like they will work this out! tldr; great vibe, great presentation, good service, drinks need more work, located in busy part of city. ambiance: 4/5 food: n/a drinks: 1.4/5 service: 3.5/5 cocktail garden & kitchen: 2.9/5

I got the spicy ramen and my partner got the chicken non spicy one, please refer to pics as I forgot the name... highly recommend getting the chicken ramen, the broth is light and savory, additionally lots of protein and veggies to make it the perfect ramen bowl. The spicy ramen was okay, I love spice but this one was a bit starchy as if too much starch was used to thicken the broth. The noodles were also way too soft; and there's very little protein. I got beansprout as an add on and that was $2; a bit much if added onto the bowl.

    We went on a Saturday night where it was quite packed (almost every single table was filled),…read morehowever, we still got seated quickly which was awesome. The service is great. Our food arrived fairly quickly as well. All of the staff are very friendly & attentive. The space is cool, very relaxing & open. As for the food, it was very, very SALTY. The mussels were good but once you reach the bottom of the bowl it was salty. The flavor of the wings were good but also salty. The ramen was also extremely salty as well so it seems like everything they make here is just overall on the salty side. If they just lessened every dish on that part, it would be perfect. But especially the ramen was very hard to eat without drinking 5 cups of water. The shirley temple was delicious tho! Food is 3/5 but service is a 5/5. So I will say the service definitely saved the rating from 3 stars.

    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.

My breath is now a biohazard, and I regret nothing. ​The Portions: They don't serve "meals"; they serve "challenges." One order of rice and beans could easily be used as a weighted blanket. ​Verdict: Go here if you want to be happy, full, and incapable of movement for 4-6 hours.

    I don't rightly know how to review a restaurant I didn't intend to eat at…read more It's not entirely my fault -- the signs outside say "Havana Nights". In five different places. The parking is for Havana Nights. Imagine our surprise when we were handed menus for "The Fokin Ninja" or Taino. That name isn't anywhere. I still don't know what this place is called. I asked our server if the awesome Cuban place moved, and got the weirdest response.. something like "Ahh.. Ohh.. yeah, let me get someone to help you." I probably should have packed up and studied the situation from somewhere else? There were changes in April and it's not Cuban any more. But we were seated with waters and Fokin Ninja menus, so maybe there's some crossover. I don't even know how to describe the menu; you can read it here. Some kind of Mexican-Asian fusion? Prices are steep, from the $18 cocktails to the $30-$40+ entrees. They did have a few specialty rolls for $10, so I tried a few. Look, maybe beef and chicken fusion rolls are your thing, but today I learned that they are not mine. Not at all. Dry beef, dry shredded chicken on top, and the weirdest mash of flavors and textures does not make a delightful roll. Sticky sweet brown sauce with bacon and cream cheese and some sliver of maybe roast beef? Nope nope nope. There just wasn't anything delicious about them.. just weird stuff wrapped in rice and called a fusion roll. The fried fish plate (Pescado Frito) for $32 was pretty good. Hot, fresh, good size, but just bland and unseasoned, as far as I could tell. Came with chimichuri sauce and fried plantains. Fried rice for $22. Loud and cold in there. This is also the first place in Worchester that puts the Tip right on the tab. Not a service charge, just "Tip" and they picked it for you. There is a line where you can write in an additional tip. It ain't right. I can't think of anything that would merit a second star. The kicker? The receipt says "Havana Nights"! I would have enjoyed eating there instead.
