That Bacon and Booze Place You've Been Salivating Over Opens This Week

WORCESTER, MA — There's been a lot of talk about the opening of the Hangover Pub in Worcester, anticipation running high for this gastropub focusing on home-cured, cut in the kitchen bacon.

The pub, known as "New England's first Bacon Gastro Pub," is located at 102 Green St. (formerly the Center Bar and Grill, and also Green Street Pizza), and opens on Monday, April 4, at 4 p.m.

“People love pork and salt-cured meats in general, but they’re not going to the extent we are,” Chef Michael Arrastia told the Boston Globe/The Boston Eater of the new place. Read the full preview here.

Arrastia has worked at Peppercorns, Allora in Marlborough and Rovezzi's in Sturbridge.

The menu not only features most-things-bacon, but bacon makes its way onto the cocktail menu, which includes a bacon-infused vodka, bar manager Matthew Comeau explains to MassLive Worcester. The draft beer list come from local breweries.

The Hangover Pub features brunch, and hours are 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. on Saturdays, 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Sundays.
