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.
A friend of mine held his post-wedding rehearsal dinner at this restaurant, using the outdoor space in the back. It was fantastic! The area had the vibe of a stylish backyard barbecue without the hassle of cooking for the hosts. They provided outdoor heating, plenty of tables with comfortable chairs, a pavilion, and even games like cornhole and giant Jenga! It was such a great discovery for this event, and I would definitely do it again.
What an amazing spot! Brian, the bartender, was fantastic. He knows all the locals by name, and the ambiance reminded me of Cheers—everyone seemed to be familiar with one another! The food was superb, and the karaoke added an unexpected layer of fun and entertainment on a Tuesday night. I will definitely include Tavern on the Merrimack in my regular dinner rotation when I'm back in town.
I ordered the Kentucky Bourbon T.O.M., which is a quarter-pounder topped with cheddar cheese, lettuce, tomato, and bourbon-glazed caramelized onions, all on a potato brioche bun. It was fantastic! The restaurant was bustling with locals, which is always a good sign. Additionally, I found plenty of street parking available during my visit.

We dined at this incredible restaurant for the first time last week, and it definitely won't be our last visit. We had a wonderful evening, highlighted by outstanding service, delicious food, and excellent wine, all offered at a great price. We will certainly be coming back!
The staff here is fantastic! They had a live band that was outstanding! When you walk in, the layout is open, with seating on both sides of the bar and in the back. There's plenty of space to enjoy the delicious cheese curds!
It's a delightful little place that draws in many regular patrons. The occasional live music adds to the atmosphere, although it can get a bit loud for the nearby residents.
I visited for a meal and a quick drink. I ordered the burger and the Asian rolls, and both were delicious and expertly prepared.
