My gripes are that they tend to play more techy house music, and I like the deep stuff, and that the concrete patio isn't good on the ankles. Though the worst thing was the lack of bartenders. Like um, one. The queue was out the door. People were buying six packs so they wouldn't have to keep waiting in line for half an hour. BETTER SYSTEM! Also, they really need to get rid of the horrible orange plastic fence that obstructs the view of the gorgeous, moonlit river. I understand they don't want people to sneak in, but then just extend the fence to the water on either side. I doubt you'll have anyone swimming to enter, eh? But how can you beat grooving under the moon and stars alongside running water? Exactly. You can't.

Somebody hyelp, get me an ankle doctor. ::: -1 star ::: Location that really sucks when you want to move on. To where? How? Taxi! TAXI! Anyone? ::: -1 star ::: Volume gets turned down to itty bitty level at 12.45 so that if you want to seriously ass shake, you have to occupy a small area within 8ft of one of the two speakers to be able to feel the music ::: -1 star ::: Bar that although ridiculously cheap, is a huge nightmare - it's run by grumpy old boston guys who find any excuse not to serve you, revel in stacking up large lines, close early for no reason and just chat with their pervy buddies (one proudly announced to me he was a 'Tits Man' as he was staring at the girl beside me's boobs). It could be so much better. Maybe if I bring a hipflask, nike air max and my own ipod I'll have a good time here. I only went for the Thunderdome that sucked so maybe it can better on other nights.

Why an institution? First... note the date that it was founded and second, not just anyone can join. Enough said. My family (in-laws) have been members for a very long time and thus I have eaten here many many times over the years. If you know someone who is a member, this is a wonderful place for a dinner or a party. The building is completely unassuming from the exterior but once you walk in to the main parlor the Worcester Club's interior is a stately example of how fine Victorian architecture was back in the day. We had my wife's 40th birthday here over the weekend and there were 9 of us. Of course, we had our own private dining room which is pretty standard for group of that size and larger. The food is excellent, but being not overly hungry I had a simple salad and winter vegetable and spinach risotto. However, there were little necks, oysters, shrimp and other apps being devoured at the table. Dinner plates varied from lamb to sirloin to seafood specials. They even made an off menu plate for my 5 year old. Everything was plated well and appreciated for what it was. We tend to only dine here for special occasions and will be back as soon as another get together is needed. As always, thank you to our host Richard and thank you to the WC.

The bar does have some interesting patrons but they did not interfere with us at all!

Honey Pot Hill Orchards

Most underwhelming experience I've had at an apple orchard. I came here on a weekend in early…read moreNovember because they were offering half-price apple picking. I got a small bag for $12.50 which was a great deal. I had no problem with parking. I got a good amount of apples, although I wish the signs for the types of apples were clearer. The main reason my rating isn't higher is due to the policing near the exit. I've been through security at concert venues that were less scrutinizing. When I was leaving, an employee was near the entrance was inspecting the wagon of a family with multiple bags. I didn't hear the entire conversation but I did hear the employee lecturing them about not overfilling the bags. The employee also said to not reuse the bags (something that could be prevented if they wrote the dates on the bags as other orchards do) and understandably the family said they wouldn't come back. Even though I wasn't the target of the apple police, it created an uncomfortable atmosphere. The best part of my visit was the cider donuts. The farm store was disappointingly small with mainly apples and cider available for purchase. Considering the plethora of options for apple picking in MA, I don't plan to return here.

Lovely experience Apple picking at Honey Pot Hill Orchards this last week…read more Service was great all around despite over an hour wait for the cider donuts (which were most definitely worth the wait).

Perfect cool day in Mass with all the Fall colors and families having a great time... it was such a positive atmosphere. Would totally go again.

They recently renovated, upgrading the charming farm stand to a full on rustic market. Fresh veggies, coffee station, frozen goods, jams, chocolate goodies and more. I usually come for the little walk around the farm to see what's growing, the u-pick flower garden, to swing on the swing set, and to see if any farm animals are around. There's a parking lot and picnic tables scattered around. Pricing is reasonable, u-pick is about $15, they used to charge by flower stem. They also host events and have activities for kids. Honestly, Weston is more of a suburb so it's a nice surprise for people when I tell them that there is actually more to see than large homes!

For the horse boarding -- the barn is well-designed and the staff pays attention to details. The horses are the priority, and the stalls are clean and well-sized. The riding instructors are excellent -- they each have their own approach, so you might want to try lessons with different people depending on your goals. Riders range from tiny kids to retirement-age. One note ... You might notice a lot of "evidence of birds" on the barn walls - but this is because sparrows are welcomed as a natural insect control method during the summer. The blueberries are delicious and usually abundant. Like any pick-your-own experience -- you will get to see the fruit in all its shapes and sizes, not just the prime examples that are packed for store sale. Even if a berry is a little bit marbled in color or small, it is still tasty.

An absolutely fabulous spot for family blueberry picking! Being from central mass, and meeting…read morepeople from Boston meant we had to find a midway farm and the blue meadow didn't disappoint! On the MA Upik site, it says no kids under 6 years old. This is OLD INFORMATION. (The current owners parents had nets hung that kids used to pull on / parents wouldn't pay attention). However, there are no more nets and no more age restrictions! I called ahead to make sure the 2-yr old picker with us would be welcome- and he was! The Entrance is marked with a homemade Upik sign To distinguish it from the driveway entrance to the horseback riding and stables. When you arrive you're greeted by a small tent where you pick up red buckets fashioned with a string (for convenient around the neck holding and double-fisted berry picking, of course!) Berries are measured by the quart. Notches have been made in the bucket to display the volume picked. They approximate how much you have picked to take home up to the half quart. Blueberries are $4.50 a quart (a steal, most places are $5.70-$6 from why I've seen. I have surmised that this is because the patch sits adjacent to the horseback riding farm part of the property otherwise present.). These prices of course only include the berries to take home, not the ones to be smacked on while picking - as we were reminded while both on our way in and out. Spraying the bushes only occurs as *required* by the State. No additional spraying of the fruit occurs You park a couple hundred feet from the tent, and walk downhill but only another 100-200 feet (it's a little steep, ask to park at the stables of hills are a big issue, I can't imagine they'd mind terribly) down to the blueberry patches. These ~1,200 someodd, 50ish year old plants are present in around four varieties. During this opening week, we found sweet, plump berries as far as the eye could see, and surprisingly few fellow pickers. Is this BC most other farms aren't starting Upik for another week? (I called a bunch ). Definitely put this farm on your list. Farm and Berries are easy to get to, delicious, and well-priced. the view with the horses is beautiful, there's a swingset that I assume visitors can use(?) and nice people run the place! What more can you want?

The description online was of circus training with jugglers, berry picking, entertainment for toddlers. Instead of a circus training session, we encountered adults jumping around in a circle. The playground area also left much to be desired, that state was very unclean, strange rugs placed all over, very old toys that looked infested and didn't want my toddler near. It was concerning and the closest I've ever felt to being on the set of Silence of the lambs. We couldn't even tell who was running the place, there was a lack of clear guidance on what to do, making the experience feel disorganized and, frankly, a waste of time. I think some improvements in cleanliness, clear communication about the activities, and better organization could make a big difference. Overall, it was a bizarre experience that didn't meet the expectations set by the advertisement. And my kids still can't juggle.
