Tavern On Merrimack - Lawrence

I'm currently at the restaurant for the third time in a couple of years, which shows it's not exactly my preferred choice. Just to be clear, I'm far from the restroom and have no idea where it even is. There aren't any unpleasant smells, but the food leaves much to be desired. Tonight, I ordered fries, and they didn't even meet Ore-Ida standards—they were weak and overcooked. They were better during my last visit a couple of years ago. On the positive side, the bar atmosphere is great, and everyone here is very friendly. The service is decent, although it takes a bit for the bartender to finish chatting with the regulars. There's live music too, mainly a guy on guitar giving it his best shot. Overall, if you're looking for a cheap drink and some good conversation, this place is worth checking out.

The restaurant has a fun atmosphere and our server was friendly and capable. Unfortunately, the food didn’t quite meet expectations. The egg rolls were overly greasy and fried too much, which might be due to an issue with the oil temperature. I also had to send back the chicken tenders because they were still raw inside, which seems like another temperature issue. On the bright side, the drinks were reasonably priced and strong. The setting, both indoors and in the back, is great for relaxed socializing. I’d consider returning, but I’d likely just stick to French fries and a drink.

I dined in for dinner and spent between $10 and $20 per person. Food: 2/5 – Unfortunately, the food didn't quite meet my expectations. Service: 3/5 – The service was decent, but there’s definitely room for improvement. Atmosphere: 4/5 – The ambiance of the restaurant was enjoyable, creating a nice setting for the meal. Overall, it was a mixed experience.

Fantastic bar with a lively atmosphere! It's an excellent spot to catch up with friends. Food: 4 Service: 4 Atmosphere: 4

I visited for a meal and a quick drink. I ordered the burger and the Asian rolls, and both were delicious and expertly prepared.
