The Raven Bar with pool tables in Worcester, MA

The Raven is a fun place to enjoy local live music, play pool, and meet interesting people. It has an urban, gritty feel. You really feel like you are in the city! It is a classic dive bar. We arrived early. We played some pool. There are 2 vintage pool tables.

Great venue, the sounds reveberate the walls well enough to reach the outside patio. Allows artists to pull you in with their beat alone. The lack of wifi/cell service helps connect others and really disconnect with the outside world to vibe with the people and artists.

Don’t let the lack of outside luster fool you. From the outside, the building looks understated, but step inside, and the place has got it going on… the menu, the music, the vibe … people are having a good time in here, and the food tastes great, and the booze is priced right, so you can have a few.

Excellent rock ’n’ roll venue! The Raven has just the right amount of grit that a true rock club should have. It regularly features both local and national acts, making it a great spot to catch up-and-coming bands as well as established names.
