Nightlife

The City of Worcester, the region's largest metropolis, stays up late with live music, bars, dance clubs, and delicious late-night eats.  Home to one of the most successful entertainment venues in the nation, the DCU Center Arena and Convention Center has welcomed the likes of Neil Diamond, Madonna, Maroon 5, and many others. If you are a fan of punk or metal, The Palladium is Worcester's premiere spot for nationally and internationally known bands and live acts. Worcester's funky and edgy Canal District offers smaller venues for live music, from Nick's Bar and Restaurant to The Cove. Visitors can dance the night away along one of the many clubs on Worcester's Water Street or savor some late-night eats at The Sole Proprietor, Bocado Tapas Bar, or one of the region's many famous diners.
