Unfortunately I had to choose 1 star to vote. The Irish Times in Worcester, MA doesn't even deserve that one star. My boyfriend and I were starving and wanted a good beer so we said ""there's an Irish Bar, they've gotta have good food and good beer"". Boy were we wrong! Pros: The exit door was easy to get to Cons: The worst bar, worst service, worst food, worst experience! more

I used to come here all the time and then it just started a downward slide. I heard from a friend they sold it off to some other people that were trying to bring it back up the standards I remember. So i actually gave it another chance, went there on a low key night but they had some great music and a real solid beer selection. I'd encourage you to do the same! Pros: Big facelift! Cons: Previous owners dropped the ball more

On the weekend, the exterior is strewn with pity less cops, and ogre-like employees. The inside would be better if they didn't have so many tables everywhere. It's like American Gladiators trying to navigate to the bathroom. Speaking of Gladiators, that's what employees act like, they'll jostle you as you enter without remorse. They look very trigger happy, so don't give them excuse to pile drive you because, from the looks of it, they won't hesitate, and I wouldn't look to the cops for any help. Apparently Irish Times went through new ownership since the last time I said I'd never set foot in there again. So foolishly I gave them another chance, shame on me. It hasn't changed. Same short fused dismal staff, and same sketchy dudes upstairs. I wish I could have those few hours back! Pros: Spacious Cons: Too many to list. more

15 dollars to park and you get searched on the way in. The staff was incredibly rude....need i say more? Cons: rude staff more

This was the worst bar experience I have ever had in my life. I was traveling with a group of friends for a wedding in the area and we stopped by this bar after the party. My purse was searched throughly, and I understand it was for safety, but there was no discretion involved. I had medication stored in an inside zipper compartment of my purse and it was put on display for everyone to see. I am all for security but if they needed to search my prescriptions then do so in a manner where they are not put on display. I literally had to hold my hand up to attempt to block people from seeing the bottle that the bouncer had showed everyone and shown a flashlight on it. I tried to explain that to the bar owner and he was extremely rude and did not care. He yelled at me for being upset about the situation. Pros: NOTHING Cons: Rude owner and bar tenders more

This is the type of pub locals and visitors will agree fits the bill. They have a great menu of pub food (try the clam chowder in a bread bowl), the portions are generous, the staff is helpful, and they have nearly 20 micro and macrobrews on tap. They have several big-screen TVs for all the games, a pool table, darts and a comfy lounge seating area. Weekly events, and an easy jaunt from City Hall. Highly recommended. Pros: pub food, darts, service more

We needed a quick and easy lunch on a Saturday afternnon and found it here. We all had large well made sandwiches, not too adventurous but all well made. The atmosphere is lively and it must be a blast on weekend nights. The service was terrific and I will make it back in when I am in town again. Pros: atmosphere, location, service Cons: better tv picture more
