Pan Roasted Sea Bass with Frango Chili From Hangover Pub on Green Street in Worcester

Pan Roasted Sea Bass with Frango Chili sauce over Jasmine Rice from Hangover Pub on Green Street in Worcester, MA

Bacon Extravaganza is how I would describe The Hangover Pub! We were greeted with a full bar and drinks garnished with bacon. We were seated at a room to the right beyond the bar area, it was cozy and seated about twenty people. Our waitress came right over for our drink order. I chose the Sangria, it was light and refreshing.

The menu was obviously bacon infused but also innovative and fun with many choices for a lover of bacon. I ordered the Chef’s Special of the Day, Pan Roasted Sea Bass with Frango Chili sauce over Jasmine Rice with sautéed green beans. When I took my first bite I knew I made the right decision. The fish was moist, the Jasmine rice was prepared so that the bottom of the rice was crispy and the Franco Chili had hints of cilantro, lemon with a hint of heat. It was a perfect blend of moist, crunchy, tangy and spicy. The sauteed green beans were prepared al dente (which I prefer). The portion was perfect and I even had enough left over to share with my fellow Foodies. They all loved it as well.

We had a server for each section of our tables making the billing process and service so much easier. The owner took time to come check on us multiple times and speak to us about his passion for bacon and owning a restaurant. The staff was beyond friendly and the service was quick, I felt like I had been coming here for years.

I would highly recommend coming here, whether it be for drinks or food, both are spectacular. The atmosphere is fun and I loved the copper table tops. I recommend this place to family and friends and will definitely be returning. See you there!

Pan Roasted Sea Bass at The Hangover Pub

The Pan Seared Sea Bass from The Hangover Pub on Green Street in Worcester, MA

I had seen numerous posts on Facebook about the Hangover Pub… check-ins and likes and favorable comments but I really wasn’t expecting much out of the ordinary. Was I ever in for a surprised! Really cool artwork, tables and chairs, people smiling and chatting comfortably, wait staff hustling about, and my friends even saved me a seat! Even if the food was just average I was already having a great night. But the food was outstanding — just the right amount of spiciness and the portions ample.

I ordered the Chef’s Special of the Day, “PAN SEARED SEA BASS, W/FRANGO CHILI SAUCE OVER JASMINE RICE, WITH SAUTÉED GREEN BEANS.” From the first bite to the last this dish was beyond all expectations. The ambrosial, delicate, and flaky white fleshed sea bass was seared to perfection and the spicy jasmine rice that it sat on had a wonderful light crispiness to it that made every mouthful a joy to consume. I really didn’t want the experience to end but soon I was looking down at a bare plate and was forced to face reality. This particular meal was done but I was comforted in the fact that this place is definitely not going away any time soon. I shall return!

I don’t even remember being served … and that in my opinion is a good thing! Drinks arrived, the food appeared, my water glass maintained, and it all happened without me having to pay attention or get involved. It doesn’t get any better than that!

In retrospect the entire place was in sync — the walls, the tables, the artwork, the service, the food, the smiles, the chatter, the movement — it all felt like one thing … one really good thing. I can’t wait to do it all again … this time prepared to step into another world.
