The Muse Cocktail Bar & Music Room: what do users think?
Christie: Awesome little hole in the wall. I felt like I was in a bar in NYC due to the theming. Really cool place. Wish they served food though. They only have charcuteries. Still recommend!
Frederick Wright: Charming and cozy cocktail bar with very flattering lighting, great date night spot. Walls are hung with local art, mixologists are knowledgeable and friendly, and the drinks are quite polished. Food options are limited to charcuterie and cheese.
Matt Savage: 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.
Paul West: 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.
James M Majors: The Muse staff, led by owner John Rinaldo, are the ultimate mixologists.
Jes H: Handcrafted drinks. It was delicious
Ulster Cathbad: Nice cocktails, great vibes
Анна Оглоблина: The best cocktails bar in Worcester! And relaxing atmosphere
Dana W: 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.
Swabarna Mukherjee: 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.
Punit Shah: 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.
Erik Nordbye: 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.
Karen Cambises: 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.
Maximum RobespierreXVII (Max): 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.
Loree Karagiorgas: 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.
Candy Cane: Place is amazing! Super friendly and personable staff, unique cocktails, beautiful charcuterie boards. Can't wait to go back!
Paula Wascavage: Muse is such a cool, eclectic place with great drinks and amazing charcuterie boards. It’s a place unlike any other.
Sarah Lange: We were completely ignored after the waitress dropped off our water. Waitresses were more concerned with drying silverware and clearing and cleaning the table next to us than in taking our order.Saw a LOT of standing around, too. After 25 minutes of waiting to be waited on, we left. Won’t be back.
Chris Kennedy: 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
John LaRoche: nice place
Hannah Jacobs: Great little cocktail bar.

Valentinos: what do users think?
Bilal Habibeh: Very calm and nice place!
Becky Lewis: Awful, won’t let you in until you’re 25. Legal drinking is 21.
Courtnee Fortin: DO NOT GIVE THIS BUSINESS YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY!!!! I went to the bathroom with my HUSBAND and was rudely kicked out because he went with me.. while 3 females were occupying the men’s bathroom he came in because he could not use the men’s bathroom…. Without even hearing us out they kicked us out of the establishment with NO WARNING!!! What if I had a disability and he was my caregiver ???? This place is disgustingly forceful and they don’t want to give the time of day to their paying patrons.. and give thought to people who may have disabilities and need caregivers to go about their daily necessities.. very very very disappointed in the way this business is run
Brendan Cornell: Bruno makes one hell of a Titos red bull. Place was packed, drinks were flowing, and the DJ was nasty.
Charlana Simmons: It was jam packed. The drinks are great, courtesy of the lovely bartenders there. Music was also great.
Ericktza Rodriguez: Good vibes, Great drinks but I knocked off a star because around midnight the DJ's will only play house music/EDM. Gets old fast. Otherwise great for ladies night!!
Mary Stewart: Unfortunately, they do not accept out of state IDs. Very disappointing for graduate students who don’t have permanent residences here. Will not be coming back, as the management was not understanding whatsoever.
Annebell Pritchard: Will NOT accept out of state IDs. We have PASSPORT SCANS, credit cards, student ids, etc in addition to driver licenses. They kicked us out because?? Said our licenses are no good. Asked us to bring our REAL PASSPORTS to the bar. Otherwise our IDs “were fake”. Worcester, the town of 5+ colleges? Really? Will not patronize. Recommend you stay away. Let them fail.
Andre DaCosta: It was great! Good drinks
Brianď Scott Boucher: I don't remember sows it was EXCELLENT🤦🤪
Kelly Spero: Great neighborhood bar. Drinks are reasonable & food is great.
Michael Palermo: Great selection of Adult Libations.. 🍺🥃🥂🍹🍸..😎
Shelby Bostock: They didnt tell me and my friend when we exceeded ourlimwt waitied until we ordered another drink we went out for a cig and we couldnt go back in. Im extreamly fustrated because i spent money on two drink that we didnt even get to drink the cops laughed ar the bartender.
natasha huertas: Great vibe everytime I've gone.
Dan Davis: Cool spot but too loud
Sherline: I went last night with a group of friends to check out this bar and let's just say all are not welcome. Our entire group was denied entry into the bar and when we asked for an explanation, the two workers (Joe and Kevin) threatened to involve the police. We were not aggressive or disrespectful, simply a group of graduate students looking to support a local business. I can not speak on the service inside, but if it is similar to my experience at the front door you can expect to be targeted and discriminated against. I was a little shocked because this place has good reviews, but I now realize that those writing these reviews all have one thing in common.....I do not write reviews often but when a group of minorities is treated like this at an establishment it is worth mentioning.
paul paladino: Great place
Brittany English: Staff is so friendly, atmosphere is very inviting and the drinks are consistent and delicious!
Mikahla Dawson: Nice bar with good apps. I enjoyed the espresso martini, and the spinach artichoke dip, which came in a bread bowl toasted with tortilla chips. The bathrooms are really nice to freshen up in, say, if you're coming straight from work. Will come again
Scott: Not a fan of this place, it's kinda dumpy
Guillermo Santiago Jr.: Loved it !!

Whiskey On Water: what do users think?
Bilal Habibeh: Great atmosphere!! Very friendly staff!!
LIONA: rude staff
Vachaspathi T: It's a great place to club and relax from stress
Ashley Marie: Don’t go. It’s not worth it. I went up to the door and the bouncer tells me we have to pay $10 to get in per person, and doesn’t even bother to tell us that the dance floor was closed till 12:30 am, due to a holy cross college event. I don’t even drink so I go to clubs for the environment and to dance. Total waste of money and time and will never be going back. Not only that the toilet in the bathroom was flooding and nobody even took care of it. The floors were all wet, total safety hazard.
callie frigo: Honestly the bouncers were very polite and I had a situation Were I was hit upstairs by a male pedestrian and it was handled so professional
Bella: Bouncer is horrible on Saturday night!!! Do not come here he is the rudest person I’ve ever met in my life.
Julia Cross: I don't know what happened to this place it was our first choice go out now I hate it. We had problems with the security, they're really creepy now. The bartenders are rude, drinks were watered down. The music is bad now. Theres better places.
Tim Murray: What’s the deal with this place? It always looks closed. Just drove by it tonight and it’s pitch black. I’ve been intrigued to go for 2 years but again, it never looks open.
Bernard Dad Izzy: Pretty girls. Nice new bouncers
J Dawes: My boy got denied entry cause of his “basketball” shorts, these weren’t no AND1 Walmart shorts, but I guess you can’t wear athletic shorts.
Tim Welch: Won’t let you in wearing basketball shorts incredibly dumb
Erin Drakes: Drinks are cheap, decent amount of people on a Friday not too busy or too empty. Bouncer kicked my boyfriend out because they said he tripped while walking outside to smoke and assumed he was over-served. I was left in the club wondering where he was and they wouldn’t even let him come find me. Dress code isn’t posted online, and I asked them and they couldn’t give me a clear answer. Music is kind of boring, just newer pop and rap mixed together. I would have liked more genres or certain nights be reggae or something. Overall it’s just alright.
J N: Bar was ok I guess. Went on a Friday, was maybe 25 people total.
Zeek “who dat”: Literally the worst place got kicked out for waiting for my girlfriend outside the bathroom as she was looking for her phone she lost they thought we were trying to do it lol then they realized they were wrong but it was too late someone took her 1200$ iphone 12 max I'll never step foot in this place again please spend your money else where
DHRITI GHOSH: Just visited this place on Saturday night 2nd of July for the very first time. The bartenders in the second floor were just straight away rude. They don’t know what customer service is. Had 4 drinks all together but when asked for water they cursed me with f work and denied to saying all night you have been asking for only water. There was 2 man one 1lady bartending and the lady was sooo sooo rude. As a human we can all understand that Saturday night bartending can be a stressful job but being rude to your customers and ask them to F off is no way to treat them.
Shayne B: Assaulted
Ty Riviere: The bouncer is very discriminative. Ive been here several times with my friends and every time my friends of color have a hard time getting by with their Real IDs. I dont know if hes racist or has a problem with darker skins, but its not right. On top of that their music is very mid, lots of remixes that make you wish you were listening to country instead. Have not really had a great experience at Whiskey yet in the handful of times ive been there whatsoever
Jon Zen: Whiskey on Water is an awesome bar !👍
Dennis Chavez Romero: Y'all need to find a new bouncer. Stick figure Larry has to go :)
manish kumar: Nice place to make it evening eventful
Dee Law: No sneakers or joggers.

The Pint: what do users think?
Paulette Polosh: We decided to give this place the benefit of the doubt for a second time but it was a failure. I guess that if you’re not white you dont fit in. The bar tender was rude and in a hurry to get us out. We didn’t got coasters for our drinks, the bar tender took the cups out of our hands. He was not in a good mood. Im sorry you had a bad day, im sorry for asking questions regarding the type of beer, if you dont like your job you can quit. Like i said apparently if you’re Not white you’re not worth their time. To my fellow non white people stay out if this place.
Andrew Kennedy: Great comedy nights
Samuel Weikle: this is an exquisite bar. the atmosphere is one of the finest i have experienced. the beer selection is amazing and the music selection is by far the best thay i have encountered 10/10!😳
Swabarna Mukherjee: Would have definitely given 5 star if they had a fully functional kitchen. However they do have a few options(not much though).Great options on the tap. They even have a good options in the bottles. Quite a nice setting and lots of informal seating available. All the people behind the bar are super nice and best part why i frequent this place: Evenings thoughare quite i always find a small table(for 2) to quietly work on while sipping on those cold ones.Great games and shuffle board available ifinterested. Connect to the network "the pint 5" instead of 2.4 for better and consistent connectivity.
Ruan Capudo: Super recomendo
Johnny Prudente: Good drinks and friendly bartenders. Went for the open mic comedy and had a fantastic time.
C. DeVico: First time here, but I can assure you I'll be back!! Excellent beer selection and cool vibe.
Nick Hetzel: Great late night staple
EduArdo Omondi: It's the aesthetics for me! It's so beautiful inside. Love it.
Cameron Costello: One of the only bars I know if that serves Fernet-Branca. Anytime I go to the pint I know I'm in for a wild night out, awesome bar to go to!
DanThePestMan: Cool little dive bar on a busy street I'm worcester. $5 wormtown ipa's, good stouts, margaritas tap, shuffle board, and giant connect 4 were the highlights. Grimm was a cool guy and a great bartender! Balls of fury was on the TV too. Would definitely recommend stopping in.
Nick Charney: Great atmosphere, legendary beer list (I've talked to bartenders in Boston who know The Pint for its great beer selection), and a lot of liquor behind the bar for cocktails. Skilled bartenders, they work fast and come out with strong drinks. Plenty of games.
Brian Wood: Its a cool little bar
Jaime Cuddeback: Super fun.
Michael Urban: I was in recently... An amazing gentleman bartender with a infectious smile took great care of me.His name is Matt...a strapping young fellow with dark hair and the type of mustache that you just know would take you for a ride.He worked behind the bar with ease and grace as orders came flying from every direction, like stray bullets on the front line of a battle.Best Captain and Coke I've ever had.thanks for the hospitality!
Robert McLoughlin: Shuffle board, Jenga and other oversized games. Fun place with good local beer options
Tyler Kuhn: Great spot for a genuine time
Niko L: Good beers........poor management 😢
Tyler de Ruiter: Cool watering hole with an eclectic craft beer selection. The women next to me ordered a pizza bagel and it reminded me of college.
Kim Cee: Great selection of games AND beers.I love this place.
Janet Queally: Great place for some unique beers!

Michael's Cigar Bar: what do users think?
Nambians: Awesome atmosphere, with a solid bar!
Sheila Toro: I've been here a couple of times. Great security, Good vibes , pretty nice bartenders. Only gave it four stars because they paused the Jukebox for the game. Other places i've been to still play music during the game. This place did not. Overall I would still keep going.
Joe Baker II: I'm not a drinker so I paired up a cigar with a diet coke so the bartender didnt charge me for the soda because i bought a cigar from him. The cigar selection was good, atmosphere great, walk in humidor was perfect. If your a drinker the selection of draft beers and hard liquor was phenomenal.
Samy Du: My go to bar in Worcester! I love to see familiar faces; Ashton and Mac are knowledgeable bartenders that always offers dependable service.
Leigh: Michaels has gone down hill as of recently. This is a place my friends & I frequent (weekly). As of recently the staff is not friendly and appear to be under the influence. The last two times they mischarged our cards. One for $100 and the other for $1,900. They laughed and said sometimes when entering the tip an extra zero may be hit in error- both times was with the bigger woman bartender. It took 45 minutes for them to attempt to figure out. Really disappointed as it used to be a really lovely cigar lounge.
Samuel Lavoie: Selection could be better but easy to park on street.
Morgan Johns: Awesome place
Bart Lasky: For what it is, it's very good. Just a great place to grab a drink and a cigar and watch a game or just hang out. The cigar selection is good and the prices are fine for MA
Sorveteria Delícias do Verão: Excelente bar. Atendimento ótimos e bebidas maravilhosas
Chris Gregoire: Very good selection. Tight, crowded, and could use some additional ventilation. Weird that they allowed cigarettes as well.
Patrick Gagne: Great atmosphere, cigar & whisk[e]y collection, well be back again!
Daniel Cushman: This place had so much potential. Unfortunately, they had the volume up so high for a random movie on cable TV that you had to shout to be heard by the person sitting next to you. People go to a place like this to socialize and they made that tough to do. It was really disappointing that they wouldn't turn down the volume when asked.
Oscar Mendoza: Always a good time. Everyone in a good mood and its contagious.
Bryan Davis: Great atmosphere, not smokey, helpful staff, and an excellent humidor. Highly recommend!
Francis A: I’d only been here once about 7 or 8 years ago in a drunken haze with friends. Came back today mid day on a Tuesday and I’m happy I did. Place is amazing. Humidor is well stocked with a great selection of sticks. You actually make your purchase right inside of the humidor which I found super convenient. The bartender was very helpful in making sure I was set with my water and lemon without judgement. Sat all the way in the back alone in the dark and listened to Christmas music and the banter of the patrons out front having a great time. The vibe is great! I’ll be back soon!
Alex Narodowy: A yearly post Harvest Cup ritual. Always a great time.
Riane Woodman: Great bar with a great atmosphere! Clean and comfortable seating. Outdoor seating was very nice as well. Loved the live music outside.
Jonathon Ferrara: Great place with live music
Swabarna Mukherjee: A typical boys cave feel. Very masculine decor and feel (wood and cigar) however the gender ratio remains equal. Definitely a great hangout space. Being a smoker myself i did feel they could use one more exhaust to pump out the smoke(after 9PM on a weekend) as it might get stuffy later in the night with more people.The people behind the bar was great andwelcoming. Didnt try their cocktails however they seemed to have a lot of good variety of whiskey.Thats what i had. yeah bourbon in a cigar bar. haha.Overall a cool hangout place esp if u like to smoke (cigars or cigs and they do also have hookah/ shisha). One of the places I try to go to check out some live music(yes thursdays - sundays) and just unwind.
Jonathan Mitnik: James is the best, a true professional in the industry and also had a palette for Italian delicacies. Ciao!
Superman DangerZone: What a great placeDrinks , cigars lots of TV'sA good casual guys night out
