NOW that Spring has sprung, you might be looking for the perfect location to spend your summer evenings.
Summer is for hanging out with your friends and listening to music whether it is a mellow solo artist or a heavy metal band.
We have put together a list of some of the best live music lounges in Worcester.
The Marrs Bar
Marrs Bar on Pierpoint Street is known for live music and drinks. The venue is in the heart of Worcester.
One reviewer was impressed with the live music bar and said: "Went to see Amy Wadge at the Marrs bar last night. Small venue with a bar. Didn’t have to wait for ages to get drinks for the concert. The venue is fab for an intimate concert.
"I was blown away by Amy Wadge and I thought the owner and staff very efficient and polite."
The Swan
This Worcester city pub is one of the oldest pubs in Worcester and the venue's unique selling point is probably its real ales, craft beer and live music. Often spotted hosting live music nights and inviting up and coming singers to perform.
Many diners who visit this venue always praise the food and atmosphere and one reviewer said: "The food was outstanding! The burger was so tasty! Best I’ve ever had! The atmosphere was really nice too! The lady behind the bar was so lovely! Dog friendly too!"
O'Neills Pub
This traditional Irish chain pub offers diners live sports and live music.
The bands placed on centre stage have been hand-picked for diners to enjoy whilst they eat.
However, sport is a passion point of this pub as they screen Six Nations rugby and GAA football.
Many diners recommend paying a visit over the weekend as one visitor said:
"Lovely Sunday afternoon spent watching sport at O’Neill’s.
"Great burger and drink for a bargain price - the manager on shift was friendly and switched over skyboxes at lightning speed when the rugby finished but gran prix had started. Will be back soon!"
Paradiddles Music Cafe Bar
This independent music venue and cafe bar claim to be the hot spot for 'fresh coffee, good vibes and delicious food.'
The venue hosts several blues nights, music competitions and event guest appearances from Ginny Lemon.
Many visitors have penned this venue as an accidental but pleasant find and were left raving about the music and food.
One diner, in particular, was impressed when they paid a visit and said "I think my title sums it up. The staff are friendly and quick, the general atmosphere and music are great and most importantly dog friendly.
