Love this place. I have always enjoyed going to Penuche's when it was a dive bar and it looks…read moreawesome with the new renovations. The drinks are great the staff is great and the tater tots are great. I used to think the summer was the best time to go because there is a good sized outdoor seating area but now the inside is so spacious I think any season will be the best time. They have Woodchuck on tap and an Omission beer for any of you who are gluten free. They have beer, mixed drinks, darts, games. I would suggest stopping by.

I LOVE dive bars. The divier the better…read more And this one has become my most recent favorite. For the past few months my sister and I have come here EVERY Tuesday for a little bonding time. (Ok, we come to get W45T3D but whatever.) At this point the bartender knows to expect us and even asked my boyfriend where we were when he arrived an hour before us last week. She said she thinks we're "fun". We ARE the party. Duh. They have everything a bar should have: Cheap beer on tap, hard liquor for shots (Jager bombs anyone?), and a jukebox. That's pretty much all it takes to keep me happy. There are usually a few old townies drinking in the corner when we show up but after we take over the music situation they either pack up and head out or sit back and enjoy the show. We take this place over. And lately we've been bringing more people with us every time -- Because seriously, what else is there to do on a Tuesday night? I've come a couple times on the weekends. It's usually PACKED with "bro's" and college kids. All set. I'll stick to week night drinking :)

Petty laid back bar…read more Been here a few time the crowd is young professionals and mostly come from Andover it seems like. They have a a large out door patio that is perfect to knock back a few cold ones under the night's sky or during a nice summer day. They also allow smoking on the patio, if your into that. They have a large parking spot but it's not paved so you have to drive on a dirt and small pebbles. The piece is extremely affordable. The popcorn machine is a cool added benefit. The music box is cool but they people that chose the music suck. It's my go to bar in this area. Not really sure how the re-review works but tonight is was a cool night to come here. They have a live music DJ. Paying good drinks jams and at a volume that is not over baring. They have that sand bag game on the out door patio so that's cool to drink and play with friends. The hot fresh popcorn is a plus. Glad I found this local bar. The parking lot is still not paved and have made zero progress in doing so so that still sucks.

The Thirsty Whale was one of my "dive" haunts when I lived in the area so I was curious to see if…read moreit was still a great neighborhood bar. Spoiler alert it is! We arrived on a cold damp afternoon and quickly joined a few regulars at the bar. Conversations were started and the cocktails flowed. They do have some great local craft beers and a full bar with a few high end liquors like Eagle Rare and Grey Goose. My desert dry Goose martini with a twist was perfect. Plus 1 said her Paloma was perfect as well. We could have spent the entire afternoon here hangin with the regulars and getting toasty but alas we had dinner reservations. We did stop by after dinner for a nightcap and the Whale was rocking to a live band and they were packed on a Wednesday night no less. Toby Keith's "I Love This Bar" song could have easily been written for the Whale!

Another great time once again. I have been going to this Irish pub for years. Always a great time…read more Welcoming environment with nice bartenders and waitresses. I have tried many things on the menu and I always go back for the fish and chips . So tasty. Perfectly cooked with steam coming out with each bite. Fries are hand cut and so good. I also really like the Reuben as well. Appetizers are a plenty and I normally get the poutine. Finally both of these go well with a nice pint of Guinness. So yummy. Come check them out with friends and have a great time.

House made ketchup, for your chips... the fish and chips is a staple, and the chicken fingers are great. In the winter, the potato Leek soup is a must. The bartenders are great, and you were missing out on Kate if you don't ask her to sit down with you and chitchat about some great story from the homeland in Ireland. We love this place with trivia on Tuesdays, Kate on other days. The peddler's daughter is a must if you're going to near Haverhill, Massachusetts .

The service was great, and the ambiance is a chill casual come as you are vibe. The seafood quality is great. The flavors on the other hand were a bit bland, and I needed to add lemon Tabasco, cocktail and, tartar sauce, but par for the area as I imagine that's how the residence of the area prefer their seafood. Overall it was good and I'd eat it again, and would add some Old Bay seasoning at least.

Grab your Keno sheets and settle in with a libation to pass some time. This isn't quite the place you'd expect to be served a mound of lobster in a foot long toasted roll.

Service is so so, but the food should meet your high expectations.

Seriously, I had a massive motorcycle accident years ago, and didn't know Leo at the time, but he reached out and brought me lunch once a week for 8 weeks, while I was stuck in bed with out the ability to move. Never knew the guy before that day, and I have been a HUGE fan ever since. Quit eating red meat a while back but before that The Barn was my goto for burgers. Only the best meat and great size. His staff is super friendly, and the bar tenders know how to poor a drink for sure. Some of the best Long Island Ice Teas around. Keep doing what your doing Leo and staff. This city loves you guys.

Bar tender was awesome very attentive despite being really busy. It was burger and beer night so of course I did that. Burger was awesome and fries were pretty good as well.

First I get there and wait over 30 min for a drink and have to have someone else get it for me and then she goes on and calls me a bitch and that I talk shit even though it is only my third time going there. It was pretty obvious that she was a bit drunk. I for sure will never be going here again and will let everyone know how terrible the employees are. I was told by other people there that she regularly drinks on the job and not to take it personally because she likely had too much to drink that night. Don't know who runs such a terrible place but there needs to be an adult there to watch over the childish employees.
