I've been going to the Lucky Dog for the last 10 years, and it's awesome to know that it really hasn't changed much at all. I used to spend alot of time in Worcester and this was the place we would always end up at. I returned recently for the first time in a few years, and it is still the coolest dive bar ever. The staff is so friendly and attentive, and they absolutely overpour the drinks pretty regularly. The last two times I've been there, I've gone specifically to check out my favorite local band (Mullethead - check em out!), and the sound system in there is pretty beefy for a place like the Lucky Dog. You wouldn't expect a great sounding show by the look of the joint, but that's what we got. I'm looking forward to the next time I get to rock out there.
Oh and I should have mentioned - the reason for 4 stars instead of 5 isn't really the bar's fault. The most recent experiences I've had here included a whole bunch of frat boy types being obnoxious and loud and disrespectful to all the bands who played. I know they can't help it that there are alot of college kids in the area (and that probably does great things for their business), but for those of us OUT of college, college kid antics are way less entertaining than they were when we were IN college.
I absolutely love the Luck Dog Music hall. Eric the owner and lead singer of the Flock of A-holes is a great guy, I have known him for probably ten years and every time I go here he makes a point to come and say hi. His band is awesome. I see a few unhappy reviews all I can say is give the place a chance for yourself and I'm sure you will feel the way most of the reviews do "5 star".
