Tavern on Merrimack 275 Merrimack Street, Lawrence, MA 01843

"Ok so the food is frozen short order stuff. So not many here are actually eating. But the drinks are cheap and if you want to make friends with some local regulars this is the place. The service is friendly if not all that attentive as she’s busy chatting. And they have live music. Usually some guy playing guitar. But it’s good fun. Come."

"Fun atmosphere and a friendly, competent server. The food isn't anything special - egg rolls were pooled with grease and over-fried (can be an oil temperature problem) and the chicken tenders had to be returned because they were still raw inside (also probably an oil temp problem). The drinks were reasonably priced and strong, and the environment both inside and out back is conducive to socializing in a low-key way. I'd go back but would probably stick to French fries and a drink."

"Great bar and atmosphere! Great place to meet friends."

"It's a neighborhood bar. They got trivia. They got beer. They got food. Staff are good folks. My only complaint is that the kitchen is closed during trivia hours. We stopped going actually because they changed this. Hard to have a few drinks without good food. They say you can bring in food, order a pizza or something, but it's not the same and the pizza places nearby close around when trivia starts. (And a burger is what I'm wanting, ya know??) Otherwise it's a great place to hang with your friends and coworkers."

"Food was delicious. As you see on my taken photo it has a small portion of sandwich. Friendly staff and cool place. Napkin was very tiny, smells cleaning solution and had stain on it."
