Drove an hour to meet friends in Worcester and try the “famous” meatball sub. After sitting around for about 15 minutes or so for any sign of someone that worked there. Eventually a man emerged from a back room and shouts at only me and my friend (all 27 btw) that he needs to see our IDs and then just left. We all pulled out of licenses and waited but when he came back he only looked at one of my friend’s ID for about half a second, which is not possibly long enough to read anything on it. He then just told us “no” and left again. We were given no reason but all three of us were refused service with perfectly valid IDs (two of which weren’t even checked). When we asked what was wrong or if he just didn’t like my friends out of state ID the worker only told us “that’s part of it.” Terrible experience, really giving Worcester a bad reputation. Won’t ever be trying the meatball sub out of pure spite. I hope all three generations of your special recipe fade into...
Read moreI was visiting for the holidays and my friend wanted to go here because it's one of his favorite places. They have a sign that's only state IDs but I figured they'd accept my military ID since it's federal and I had already used it at other bars on Shrewsbury street. Instead the bartender angrily told me "only state IDs. I've never even seen anything like this before" and threw my ID down on the table at me instead of handing it back to me. She then told me I could leave because she couldn't serve me. My friend was very embarrassed after having talked about how much he liked going there and liked the staff. He explained that she was a new bartender and they weren't all like that. Needless to say that's all I needed to know I'd never go back. I've never had that happen to me before. If you don't accept a military ID just say so and hand it back.
The bar itself is...
Read moreLiterally have never had as bad of an experience as Vincent’s. Drove over an hour from Northampton to meet a local friend and try one of the meatball subs. There was nobody behind the bar for about ten minutes which was fine, we just sat down at a table and waited. The man working there came out, yelled at us that he needed to see our IDs, looked only at mine for approximately half a second (truly not long enough to see anything except that I’m from Illinois), said “no”, didn’t look at anyone else’s, and refused us service. We tried to ask why, and whether it was because the ID was from out of state (even though everyone else’s was from Massachusetts), and he said “that’s part of it”. I’m more confused than anything.. I’m 27, it’s a legal and up-to-date license, and we weren’t even ordering drinks,...
