O'Connors Restaurant & Bar,

1160 West Boylston Street, Worcester, 853-0789.

St. Paddy's Day comes 365 days a year, and a good time is almost guaranteed thanks to fine food with Irish, Continental, and New England influences; friendly service; and a setting that somehow balances blarney and serenity. As the sign says, "Eat here and you will never live to regret it."

Price Range: $5 - $13.
