This past Tuesday I received a call about a trvia night at the Blarney Stone pub, though the Blarney is normally a weekend or Thursday spot, it was worth a try. For those who dont know, the Blarney stone is a small bar located on the corner of maywood street and park avenue, only a few hundred yards from Clark University's campus.
The bar offers cheap drinks with a few TVs and some video games, the bar is located in the middle of the venue with seating around the outside. Tuesday nights the bar offers a trivia night in which teams are given a sheet of paper to record the answers to the questions that are asked over the PA system in the bar. The prizes for the winners are T shirts but mostly the enjoyment of having your team name announced to the bar.
Atmosphere: A- Not fancy by any means but a great place to come and enjoy a drink with a younger crowd, partake in trivia or just watch a game.
Drink Cost/Quality:A+ The blarney is one of my favorite bars for a reason, the drinks, offering several "blarney shots" for 2 dollars as well as drafts as cheap as 1.50. a wide variety of drink options but an optimal place for the drinker on a budget
Service:A As in any bar, there is a struggle to get ahold of the bar tender for a drink but the blarney bartenders manage to accommodate to their best ability. Friendly bartenders who will often crack a joke while providing you with your drink.
People: B+ Mostly a college crowd with a mix of main south locals, a good mix but alot of familiar faces, the occasional shady characters but for the most part a harmless mix of Clark students.
Overall: A
not a classy place in any sense but one of my favorite bars in worcester, a good atmosphere with cheap drinks, not to mention located right next to Flats pizza for those late night drunk munchies. Trivia tuesdays and active weekends make the blarney one of the most versatile bars in the city.
until next time, Cheers
