A Spectacular Evening of Music at The Cut in Gloucester!…read more The Cut in Gloucester is an exceptional venue that beautifully combines live entertainment, great food, and a welcoming atmosphere, making it one of the North Shore's most enjoyable destinations. My husband and I recently attended a truly unforgettable event there as guests of our daughter and son-in-law, and we left thoroughly impressed by both the venue and the outstanding performance we were fortunate enough to experience. On August 19, we attended the Gloucester Student Band's tour kickoff concert, and it exceeded every expectation. One of the highlights for us was watching our granddaughter perform on clarinet alongside an impressive ensemble of talented young musicians from local schools in Grades 5 through 12. The band's rich sound came from a remarkable combination of flutes, trumpets, alto and tenor saxophones, clarinets, trombones, baritone saxophones, French horn, and percussion, creating a professional-quality performance that filled the venue with energy and excitement. The students brilliantly performed 15 selections, including crowd-pleasing favorites such as Ghostbusters, Mamma Mia, Bohemian Rhapsody, Copacabana, and YMCA. Every piece showcased the dedication, skill, and enthusiasm of these young performers. A special round of applause goes to the band's talented and passionate director, Jamie Green Klopotoski, whose love of music and genuine connection with her students was evident throughout the evening. Her leadership inspired an outstanding performance and created an atmosphere of joy that was contagious. The Cut provided the perfect setting for this dazzling concert. The lighting, sound quality, seating, and overall ambiance enhanced every moment of the performance. We especially enjoyed seeing the outdoor marquee on one of Gloucester's main streets proudly announcing the Gloucester Student Band and the evening's follow-up concert featuring the Reset Button Brass Band, which included Director Jamie Green Klopotoski on saxophone. Adding to the experience was the scenic drive through Gloucester, with its beautiful coastal views and quintessential New England architecture. The venue itself also offers delicious food and even a fun basketball-toss arcade game, making it a wonderful place to spend an evening with family and friends. We highly recommend The Cut to anyone looking for outstanding live entertainment, a comfortable and vibrant venue, and an opportunity to support local talent. This magical evening was filled with music, community spirit, and unforgettable memories that our family will be talking about for years to come. Bravo to The Cut and to the incredible Gloucester Student Band!

QR codes at rail and high tops for service to your location which saves heading to the bar to get your drinks or food.

Acoustics not bad, but with smaller area it is pretty loud so if you have sensitive ears you may want to bring plugs.

The bar tender screams for all to hear " NO ID NO DRINKS". So we gives our IDs and right from the go! He told my sister that her ID was fake and the person on the ID wasn't her like out loud! We don't have to hide anything she's a registered nurse for over 20 years now and the bartender just profiled my sister for his own beliefs. Just because she's short and her face is kind of young looking. He sends us out of the bar. It's ok I won't like to support rude people like him. So, we took our $ some other place. He tough he sawed a fake ID, but he didn't! It's a real ID and my sister is lot older than him, and probably his wife looks terrible compared with my sister. Will never step there ever again for my next trip to Boston. The bar tender can stick that bar yall know where.

Patrick's is one of those places I probably drove by a thousand times a few years ago without…read morethinking twice until one day I finally stopped in, and that was it, I never stopped coming back. The staff is top tier friendly and ridiculously attentive, and the whole place just has this vibe where it genuinely feels like family, both the staff and the patrons make you feel at home in a way I've honestly never experienced at any other bar. And it's not just a bar either, on the other side you've got "Franny's," set up like a classic diner with black and white checkerboard floors and those small barstools right by the grill where you can sit and watch them cook breakfast. I've probably worked my way through just about the entire menu, breakfast, lunch, dinner, and I've never once been disappointed, whether it's pizza, calzones, steak tips, burgers, sandwiches, pasta, homemade soups, or their rotating specials, everything is consistently excellent. The drinks are just as good, they'll make basically anything you ask for without hesitation. They've also got karaoke every Saturday night, Trivia on Thursday nights, TouchTunes for music, darts, multiple TVs for watching sports, Keno, and an ATM, which to me checks all the boxes for a local bar. Between the staff, the camaraderie, the quality of the food, and the drinks, you really can't go wrong, and now they've added an incredible dessert menu that I haven't been able to stay away from either. From the second I walked in, I knew this place was different, and it really is that good.

The staff are friendly and the servers knowledgeable and efficient. The hostess had trouble finding our reservation (my companion was already seated) but it seemed to be quite busy that Friday night. The restaurant consists of quite a few separate rooms and we were seated in one that was not too crowded. (I walked through the bar on my way in and that was hopping.) I had a glass of sauvignon blanc and after studying the menu and consulting our server my companion and I both went for a burger. There was no problem with my swapping out the french fries for onion rings (points there!). The burgers were done exactly to our liking (mine mediume rare, hers medium well). I should have turned down dessert, I was that full, but my companion was willing so we went for it. There was a good selection of typical New England desserts and we finally settled on a blueberry crisp topped with vanilla ice cream which was good but not great (not sure I can put my finger on why, so it may be that I was too full to enjoy it). There is a parking lot although it is not paved so was not fun walking through at the end of a day when it clearly had rained. It also could use some lighting. This is a wonderful restaurant suitable for a special occasion or an ordinary night out. I will definitely be back.
