Vincent's

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!

ok, not what i expected, an OLD bar, and perhaps a little dusty here and there, nice collection of taxidermy, looks like an often locals place, yet with a certain ambiance, not too crowded for lunch today, service, the bartender was wonderful, informative and funny, the drinks were very good, the menu did not exist, meatball or sausage sub, a cheese board or some sort or a pasta dish, the meatballs were good yet were contained in a mountain of bread, interesting different, ok... they have a wonderfully full menu of music however and that should keep it pretty interesting, heck, a trip to the men's room and all the inscriptions on the walls and doors was interesting!!!!!!!!

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.

Cocktails were all great. Very well made. Service is pretty limited. When I went in there was 1 person working the bar and so you need to go up to order... just like a pub in Britain. I'd say they were a little gruff about it too. Food choices are very limited. The meat and cheese plate is slices of regular old super market cheddar, cubes of something like a cooked Italian sausage served with a sleeve of saltines and diced raw onion. I'm not joking. Look at the images in yelp. That said I would go again. It's an experience and the cocktails are good. Just know what you are getting into

My friends said ya gotta try the meatball sandwich and I was like, ok, whatever, I like meatball sandwiches. And drinks. And music. But these meatball sandwiches... incredible. Super busy when there's a great band playing, so go early if you want a...meatball sandwich. And try a Guinness Stout - dedicated tap at the right temp makes it great at Vincent's.

Great place and amazing meatball sandos.

Glad to see this place , wish it was in my hood

Been coming here for more than a decade - it's one of the few things in Worcester that hasn't changed and I hope it always stays like that. Eclectic crowd, great live music that usually has everyone on their feet by the end of the night, experienced bar staff, weird and unusual decor and an unbeatable meatball sandwich. What more could you want?!

Excellent place
Great Vibe
Historically famous
A must visit, live music always
This place won't disappoint

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.
