I don't know if there is going to be a "best pub" for a Gen-X couple. There are A LOT of pubs and bars around Worcester and the entire state.

Expect to pay anywhere between $5 - $9 for a pint of beer on average, depending on the beer type. The beer scene is huge around here. There are tons of breweries that make their own beers that you can go to. If you are into drinking beer, you will not be disappointed in Massachusetts. It's one of the best beer states in the country and is situated within New England - and all of the other states also have very good breweries. Even within the brewery scene, there are a lot of places that specialize in the IPAs but there are also plenty of other options at most places.

You'll have to explore once you get here. I think you'll be pleasantly surprised. We have dive bars, upscale lounges, Irish pubs, brewery taprooms, and all sorts of other places to get a drink.

Thanks! $9 for a pint of beer is disappointing to hear. That’s worse than Dublin which is a total rip-off place.

That's if you're going for a high-end craft brew. That's the very high end of the range. A high alcohol content New England IPA from a craft brewery can run you $9 at some places. You'd be plastered if you drink more than three of them anyway.
You can find regular pints of mass produced beer (Guinness included) for a lot less - probably around $4-$6 depending on where you go.
