The decor gives a nod to its name, with exposed metal, minimalistic accents, and a vibe that feels straight out of a modern steelworks. It's a great spot if you're looking for a drink and a change from the usual scene. Their drink selection is solid, featuring a mix of classic cocktails and local craft beers. The bartenders have their own cocktail introduced in the menu, so don't hesitate to ask for a recommendation or a custom mix if you're in the mood to try something new. The food menu is limited so I wasn't really interested in trying that. They have a few games on the other side as well as an out patio that you can smoke and bring your drink outside. It's definitely more of an older crowd especially coming after work, kind of vibe

I paired my lobster roll with sweet potato fries, while he opted for the $16.99 fried captain platter. The lobster roll had plenty of filling, & his platter was devoured before I could try a bite - we left satisfied!

Based on the other Yelp reviews, it looks like people either love or hate this place. I'm giving it…read more5 stars and have been here 3-4 times. Atmosphere... it's divey, in a good way! This is where the locals go and it feels like the Worcester version of Cheers. There are always people of all ages here. It's relaxed, not too loud. Tonight there was a great 90s music playlist on. There are bar seats, booths, high tops. Plenty of TVs if you want to watch sports. I have never had issues with staff or service. My waitress tonight smiled plenty and the food came out quickly even though the restaurant was full. She did everything right, was attentive and polite. My son ordered the NY Strip steak. The thing was huge and would have likely cost $40 elsewhere. Here? $18. I got the lettuce wraps which are technically an appetizer but the portion is big enough for a meal. The menu is extensive, has something for everyone, and there are always specials. Great place for a casual family meal, I'll keep coming back.

The chicken broccoli alfredo was a huge portion with very good homemade alfredo sauce. The picanha steak dinner came with the most tender pieces of picanha I have ever tried. The Brazilian chicken stroganoff was also very good. It had lots of mushrooms and great flavor. The only thing I didn't care for was the rice that came with the steak and the stroganoff. It was not the typical rice you would expect to receive and it lacked... I cannot even name it.. it just wasn't good. We will definitely head to this restaurant to try it in person. We weren't able to order the meat lover's kebab to go - and that is what everyone has been talking about!

I hate to be that person so we just paid and left but the photo speaks for itself... margarita flatbread was also pretty bad. The sauce tasted tasted like salsa, and it had squares of melted halloumi on it? Looked nothing like one of the pictures I saw on Google reviews so I'm thinking they may have just ran out of ingredients yesterday. Even just the restaurant itself was pretty gross. Sticky floors, dirty plates and silverware given to us, dirty bathroom. Definitely won't be going back.

If you can sit at the bar or in one of the 2 tables by the window, you'll get excellent service. The charcuterie board is great, and the drink selection is also pretty good. However, the last time we came here, it was the middle of the afternoon on Valentine's day. I'm from Boston and Cape Cod and my partner is European; we look like it and we act like it. Upon a brief interaction with the hostess, we both felt spoken down to: "YOU'RE trying to come in on Valentine's day? Without a reservation?" This, coming from someone with a Worcester accent who was dressed like a boy going to church choir. We were shooed away into the dining area: "I guess you could stand over there and look at the menu". It's about 330 in the afternoon- most tables are completely empty. Then a different staff member, also with a working class accent, says "I need you to clear out of this walkway because this is for staff only", despite the fact that no staff were walking there and we had been standing there about 20-30 seconds. We left without saying anything as the hostess tried to say something to us. If you want to feel spoken down to, in the working class city of Worcester no less, come here. Alternately, if you're feeling aggressive and want to squeeze your way in to sit touching shoulder to shoulder, come here. The time before this, the hostess was a soft-spoken woman who mumbled a lot; we had to elbow people out of the way at the middle bar section, which is where she directed us. Maybe in another year I'll want to come back for lunch only. Honestly, I'd rather drive back to Boston if I'm going to be treated snobbishly.

We tried the ogeat lemonade (very refreshing), miso carrots appetizer (both of us loved - very unique flavors), the spicy tantanmen (not too spicy/was just right for me), the lamb wontons (not our favorite - only 4 dumpling shaped wontons, flavors heavy on the lamb, might not be filling), and lastly, the brown butter ice cream (topped with pepper which was interesting! But very delicious). They were able to accommodate nut allergies easily and everything tasted amazing. The total came out to be about $35-$40 per person depending on tip. The staff were all very friendly and attentive, and the space was clean. Parking wasn't an issue at all.

I got the spicy ramen and my partner got the chicken non spicy one, please refer to pics as I forgot the name... highly recommend getting the chicken ramen, the broth is light and savory, additionally lots of protein and veggies to make it the perfect ramen bowl. The spicy ramen was okay, I love spice but this one was a bit starchy as if too much starch was used to thicken the broth. The noodles were also way too soft; and there's very little protein. I got beansprout as an add on and that was $2; a bit much if added onto the bowl.
