The Dragon Inn - Worcester

Great late summer venue and beers. However on my visit last night with 6 friends it appeared from the start our cards were marked. It was quite a raucous atmosphere due to the Warriors contingent being there, so our group would go relatively unnoticed. However the moment we sat a put a box of cigarettes on the table we were snapped at by the bar manager that we can’t smoke there. 1. Hadn’t even lite one 2. Wasn’t clear it was a non smoking area (stand to be corrected) innocent mistake, but I left boot camp a long time ago. No need to speak to me like a child I’d like to think I am 45 year old responsible adult After about 1 hour one of our party used the outside toilet, however he Diddnt latch the door and someone pushed it open reviling our friend. A moment of hilarity or so we thought. The “glass collector” shouted for him to shut door and did not see the funny side . Ok not ideal, but from what I saw no one took offence, we apologised and the only embarrassment was to my friend only We were planning to spend the remainder of the evening in the Dragon, however when went back to the bar I was refused service because of the above incident. I get a bar manger has the right to refuse service, but it was an innocent mistake, which we apologise for. We were not drunk and as above there plenty of other folks in there that were very Merry after an afternoons rugger. I am finding that post Covid hospitality and service in Worcester has been really sub standard, I would expect with what the area has been through there would some warm welcoming staff to support bring hospitality back to its feet. Not that probably makes much difference but the dragon missed out on a £100 last night and will now miss out moving forward as I won’t be going back.

Visited yesterday with family and kids. A group of 13 in all. Sat on 3 tables because of the size of our group and was told to stop sitting on so many tables as we were taking the ****. Kept money in pocket and left.

Great beer, cider and atmosphere in this traditional pub with a beautiful beer garden out the back! The beer choice is second to none, but the Barbourne Cider was incredible, their Trad Worcestershire cider was fantastic!!! Lovely pub lovely people!

Cozy traditional pub, lovely landlords, beautiful beer garden and a fab pint! I enjoy the Porter style beers….Stout Coffin was a fav. Church End Brewery creates tasty brews. When the weather is good, great live music in the beer garden! I am an American and was living in Worcester off and on for nearly 2 years. I felt so welcomed and a part of the Dragon family! My favorite pub in Worcester!

I was bullied by the staff when I closed the door politely. Initially, I thought it was a joke but soon realized it wasn't. I will not be returning and I advise others to do the same. The behavior of the bar staff was completely unacceptable and childish.
