In my most recent Thirsty Thursday endeavors I found myself heading to the Salty Dog, a bar located at 1 Kelley Square in Worcester. Though this was not my first time spending a Thursday at the dog, each time brings something new.
The layout of the Salty Dog is one of its best features, with a bar located at the front next to the entrance and another in the back right corner, it is easier to avoid the battle through crowds to get a drink. The main attraction is the Mechanical bull located in the back left corner, providing entertainment time and time again when people are thrown from it.
The crowd at the Salty Dog varies from night to night, on this particular night there was a fair amount of Clark students there but we only made up about one eighth of the crowd. Holy Cross, Worcester state and Assumption students are usually there with varying numbers and a mix of locals as well. The majority of the bar is used as one big dance floor with a few tables located on the sides.
So onto the final grades,
Atmosphere: B+ Loud, high energy and enthusiasm, the Salty Dog is definitely no place to have a casual night.
Drink Cost/Quality:B Cheap rolling rock drafts for $1.00 but very weak mixed drinks and over priced shots.
Service:B- I have had several bad experiences with bar tenders at the dog, though for the most part they are good, two or three young women are very disrespectful and overall unpleasant.
People: A- Big crowds but a wide range of different people, girl to guy ratio changes each night but for the most part its a little heavier on the guy side.
Overall: B+
Definitely a good time with a high energy atmosphere but the crowds are sometimes excessive and the employees arent too concerned with customer service.
