New Restaurant Pitched For Former Sake Bomb Spot In Worcester
Sake Bomb closed in February due to "tough economic environment and staffing issues," the owners said.

WORCESTER, MA — The former Sake Bomb restaurant along Park Avenue may not be empty for long.
The owner of a possibly Cuban-themed restaurant will go before the License Commission on Thursday seeking permission to open in the former Sake Bomb space. The new restaurant will be called Havana Holdings Restaurant & Lounge, according to the meeting agenda.
The Havana restaurant is asking the city to transfer Sake Bomb's alcohol license, as well as permission to sell food and offer live entertainment and dancing.
