Tavern On Merrimack

I'm glad I ordered fries just in case, because my luck with anything pasta is usually bad. I ordered the veggie pappardelle pasta with chicken, but alas...it never came with the chicken. Definitely not a vegan, so I ate as much as I could with chili flakes and went to town with the fries. Otherwise, the tavern's staff and regulars definitely have a fun personality. I was wearing a costume for a Spartan event prior and they couldn't help being curious and laughed together about it. The vibe differs because you'll walk right into a round table for the bar and the friends of the tavern. Then you'll go right and sit in church pews? I may come back again just to relax and have a few beers with friends since they live across the street.

What an awesome place. Brian the bartender was great. He knows all the locals by name and the atmosphere was nostalgic of Cheers....everyone seemed to know one another! The food was excellent and karaoke was an unexpected source of fun and entertainment on a Tuesday night.🎤🎶 Will definitely make Tavern on the Merrimack part of the regular dinner rotation when back in town.

I tried the Reuben. Having never had a Reuben in a tortilla I went with that. The tortilla had been griddled a bit too hard, so it was extra crispy. I also think that the dressing had evaporated. The corned beef was good. It also needed to be more kraut in there. What was there had been warmed up, and lost its crispiness. The fries were excellent, crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside.
