The staff always does a great job organizing enjoyable golf events, and treating members' guests with great hospitality. The food is always plentiful and top notch, particularly their lobster rolls and seafood, including the raw bar and amazing clam chowder. The staff is always friendly, attentive, and eager to make sure you have a great day/experience. The pro shop is well stocked, and the course is always in excellent condition. It is a very challenging course, as flat lies are tough to come by, but fairways are open enough that most skill levels will find the course enjoyable.

We just had my daughter's wedding at Mechanics Hall two days ago and I am still in awe. The space…read moreis incredible and if you love old architecture, this is over the top beautiful! Yes, unlike "all inclusive venues" you must find your own caterer, photographer and DJ but they guide you through the process and the the extra work is totally worth it! Olivia is a gem, truly dedicated and worked very hard to make the night perfect. The ability to have all aspects of the wedding take place in one venue is invaluable--getting ready rooms, ceremony, separate cocktail hour space, quiet rooms and a grand staircase for first look. If you are at all considering this hall, go take a look. You will not be disappointed!

Mechanics Hall is a local gem and a national treasure. According to their website, Mechanics Hall…read morehas been judged by architectural historians as the nation's finest pre-Civil War concert hall and is listed in the National Register of Historic Places. During the mid-20th Century, other newer venues overtook it as the favored place to host events. Thus, it was rented out for professional wrestling matches, roller skating, basketball, dance lessons, 4-H club meetings, etc. Neglect took a serious toll on the health of the Hall, but, when the decision was finally forced to tear it down or to revitalize it, the entire city rallied, raising $5 million to restore the Hall. The Hall is rented out for many purposes, and by many organizations. On this particular Saturday evening, Mechanics Hall was in use by Music Worcester (https://www.musicworcester.org), featuring a performance by Chanticleer. Chanticleer was founded in 1978 and is renowned as "an orchestra of voices" for the seamless blend of its twelve male voices ranging from countertenor to bass and its original interpretations of vocal literature, from Renaissance to jazz, to gospel and new music. It was a great performance in a majestic venue.

It is more like an upgraded VFW function hall. It is not like a Taj of Boston or a Four Seasons Hotel. I would guess that rental of the place is aroiund $400 to $500 for the night.

Located inside the glass tower building at the corner of Main & Pleasant on the 24th floor, VUE…read moreCocktail Lounge is open Friday-Sunday offering a great views of Worcester. VUE is a part of Vivienne, which will reopen in late March 2026. The VUE serves a selection of cocktails, beer, wine, champagne, spirits, and mixed drinks. For food, they offer seafood raw bar selections, caviar, tinned fish, dips & pita chips, salumi, fromage, cheesesteak, focaccia, and desserts. The pricing is on the higher end. After my buddy raved about VUE for the ambience, food, drink and nice views of Worcester, I decided to check the place out for myself. I made an online reservation and headed over around 7:15 pm on a Saturday night. I headed inside the tall glass building and took the elevator up to the 24th floor. Once there, I checked in and headed for an open high top table near the full service cocktail bar and in front of the live jazz band, overlooking the sunsetting sky and Worcester views from the glass windows. This place definitely has that chill vibe of Worcester's "Top of the Hub" if y'all familiar with the former restaurant & bar on the top level of the Pru in Boston. One of the bartenders was my server. I already knew what I wanted and ordered the Bastirma Salumi Plate ($15 plus tax) and Carrot Lentil Dip ($13 plus tax) and a glass of still water. My food came out 20 minutes later, Bastirma plate first, followed by the Carrot Lentil Dip plate. The Bastirma small plate had 3 thick soft slices of focaccia bread, thin sliced dried beef sirloin, Türkiye, giardiniera, pickled veggies, dijon mustard, and 2 stuffed grape leaves. The Carrot Lentil Dip plate was huge which had a bowl of chilled pureed carrot Lentil dip with fresh garlic, waffle potato chips, thin pita crisps, red peppers, orange peppers, yellow peppers, celery sticks, carrot sticks, cucumber sticks.. I barely finished everything myself and did not save room for dessert and got the check which was $29.96 with tax and before tip. Overall, both cold plates I ordered were pretty good and very filling. I was enjoying the relaxed vibe here. The live jazz music band and great nighttime views of Worcester makes the VUE a very special place to visit for food and drinks. My buddy was also here with coworkers last weekend and they enjoyed the cocktails, several cold plates of tasty food, and plenty of raw oysters.
