One reviewer wrote: "Urban bar decor with a great atmosphere and professional but pleasant staff.

"I've been here a few times now and the bar gets busy quite quickly. The wines and beers are great, and the cocktails are superb. I will definitely return again."

2. Hand in Glove

College Street, Worcester

What TripAdvisor said:

"Hand in Glove is a terrific bar located conveniently in downtown Worcester. The bartenders are friendly and accomplished in preparing the drinks. The bar features a selection of specialty cocktails (e.g. Flaming Zombie) and has a chalkboard on which is posted an amazing variety of available gins. Each of two visits, one after dinner and one late afternoon, were enjoyable. Basic bar with excellent drinks and nice atmosphere. Highly recommended."

3. All Bar One

Cathedral Square, Worcester

What TripAdvisor said:

"We came for bottomless brunch - good food and drink choices. Caelan was a really good hostess and made sure we were topped up with drinks. We would come back again."
