Great Store, it was a great experience! Returning the Empty Bottles was totally 'hassle free". At 1 Stop Liquors Methuen I spoke with the cashier and chatted a bit. I was amazed how big this store is and their great selection of Wine- Beer and Liquor i observed. I inquired and asked who the owner was? She pointed and said he's here in the store and pointed to him "Joe". I walked over and shook hands and aske him how he started the business. What a great story 28 Years ago and now - 6 locations! Joe started by buying a small package store from a friend's family who wanted out of the business. He was a young guy going to college -had a wife and hardly any money to his name and owing a mortgage for his home and working another job and maintaining the small Package Store on Bridge St. in Lowell, Ma. He knew nothing about this business. He made it work and grew the business. Its a great American Dream come true. I have so much respect for people like this. HE WORKED FOR IT AND EARNED IT !! Not riding on the backs of others and surprising he seemed like a pretty unpretentious person. Their Wine prices are incredibly competitive; many Wines are LESS expensive than neighboring NH stores! No need for me to go North, its right here at 1 Stop Liquors in Methuen and plenty of parking! 1 Stop Liquors carries just about everything you could imagine, Wine - Beer- Liquor and even Mass Lottery! Talking with Joe the owner was a great experience! Their pricing and service was really great too. I felt I owed them a good word and deservingly so I wanted to endorse it. From today on - 1 Stop Liquors has earned my business and I will tell many more.... even though I am not a big drinker, Cheers! Please note, NO ONE EVER asked me or enticed me to write this review. The review was written purely based on the service I received that day and the variety of product I observed and how easy it was to speak with the owner.

Joe, his wife, and the entire staff were incredibly welcoming, attentive, and professional. They went above and beyond to make sure our group was well taken care of, which made hosting a large event effortless and enjoyable. The brewery itself has a fantastic atmosphere, with a beautiful bar and plenty of space for groups. The food was outstanding,especially the BBQ and pizza. As someone who loves authentic BBQ, I can honestly say the food made me feel like I was back in Texas. Every bite was packed with flavor and cooked to perfection. If you're looking for a great venue for a private event, business gathering, or just an excellent place to enjoy amazing food and drinks, I highly recommend Border Brewery. We couldn't have asked for a better experience and will definitely be back!

Never have I had a more awful BBQ experience. Went here with my family on a Wednesday, their first…read moreday open after Father's Day the prior Sunday. Our server was a nice girl but didn't exude intelligence or personality. I don't say those things as insults, I know a lot of people like that but I don't think that was what we or most people hope for when going to pay an arm and leg for a specialty cuisine like BBQ. We ordered the BBQ sampler for $63 (1/4 lb brisket, 1/4 lb pulled pork, 1/2 rack ribs, potato chips and 2 sides) we added an extra 1/4 lb of brisket and for the sides we chose baked beans and cornbread waffles. The menu said "out of ribs" so in lieu of ribs we ordered Burnt ends which I have been in the mood for and in search of for a while (a lot of bbq places in this area of NH don't have burnt ends) but wait! They had ribs! They didn't have burnt ends... so good job keeping up to date on that menu! So, we got the ribs. The food looked okay when it came out until you looked closer. The whole meal was heavily drizzled with bbq sauce in what I assume was a last ditch effort to make it look appetizing. Usually the moist smoked meats should speak for themselves. They very likely seemed to serve us the leftover Father's Day Brisket and if not, they have really awful, dry, jerky like brisket the entirety of which literally broke apart into dry flakes the second a fork touched it. The pulled pork was also pretty bad. It was charred as if after they pulled it they threw it over an open flame or back on the smoker which isn't commonplace in bbq as it's supposed to be smoked, pulled and served nice and juicy so I assume this was also leftovers. There were sections of it that were charred so bad it was like a burnt chunk of wood that was inedible but a little more than half of the serving was edible with bbq sauce. The Ribs were actually quite good! They were juicy and fell off the bone which is key for good BBQ but they did not redeem the meal yet only added an extra star to this would-have-been 1 star review. The cornbread waffles were floppy and cold, seemed more like an undercooked eggo than a modified cornbread from a good BBQ spot. The beans were fine, nothing to write home about but not disappointing in any notable way. The chips were very good and seemed like they could have been made in house but didn't see or hear anything to confirm this and I wasn't there for chips anyway. My Wife and her Mother both ordered cocktails at $16 a piece, when my wife tried to modify the type of liquor in her cocktail she was told they were batched (pre made In large quantities) with a certain brand of liquor which is not awesome but I guess acceptable for a brewery as it's specialty is supposed to be beer, I did not try any beer as I don't drink much especially on a Wednesday so unfortunately I can't judge the place's brewery ability which also lends itself to the 2nd star. When my wife's cocktail was served the server came out with a shaker and did the performance which I thought was also weird as we had just been told the cocktails are batched so we know you just poured pre batched cocktail in a shaker and shook it. We made our feelings known about the brisket and they were nice enough to refund the extra 1/4 lb we ordered which we did not ingest. The whole meal came out to $147 and we tipped fairly as we really held nothing against the server. They take your card at the door and put a $1 hold on the card which I don't love. After the meal the whole transaction turned into 2 separate transactions for the full amount of close to $200 one of which was taken right out of my bank the other pended for THREE DAYS while my bank held the funds. They should just charge you once the meal is complete. I really question the owners ability to run a business and make smart business decisions including hiring a good Chef. I will not go here ever again and I advise others to stay away unless a change is made. I hope the owner re evaluates his business model and his seriousness to be good because as the only actual bbq place within a high traffic big retail market they really have all the reason to be great. 2 stars. If you read this and say "food costs are high so they can't afford to throw away the leftovers from Father's Day and it's hard to run a small business!" Then maybe should volunteer to be their holiday leftover eater, as the only BBQ place in Salem I'm sure they are not struggling to make it as a small business and it's absolutely unacceptable to serve 3 day old meats. Brisket should be an absolute shining staple of a BBQ restaurant and they should take it very seriously. If these meats weren't leftovers and were in fact prepared the day we dined there then this place really is 1 star and needs to fire its kitchen and get someone serious in there.

Old time bar in a well-worn building with a separate dining room that's more spacious and quieter…read more My review is more for the food, since the beer I tried was my third choice. Decent enough. Wings: Smoked but didn't have that smoked wing taste or feel. They were definitely tender and moist, but definitely not crisp. My sauce (sesame honey sriracha) was a nice blend with a little heat and sweet, with neither dominating. Sesame was AWOL. Not bad, but the lack of crispness lost a chance to impress more. Smoked Brisket and Chorizo Chili: A small-ish serving somewhat concealed by the thick, droopy layer of cheese stretching across the top of the crock. Really nice flavor from the chorizo and peppers, but I didn't notice a smoke presence. Despite the crumbled bits of meat, more of a heated salsa feel than chili. Again, not bad, but nothing I'd get again. The Holburger: Now THIS one came through in flying colors. So rare in these days of smashburger dominance to see a thick burger (they do smashburgers too), and this was exceptionally juicy and brought good flavor from the brisket/shortrib blend and the grill itself. Bacon was only slightly crisp, but that's how I want it on a burger. Potent blue cheese. All of the flavors blended really nicely. Bun a white-bready version of brioche. A gigantic pile of fries (I think hand-cut) had the right crispness and droopiness. And to make it even better, on weekdays from noon to 4pm this burger-and-fries plate, with the addition of a draft beer is a dollar LESS. Good burger, good deal. Mixed bag so far, but that burger will bring me back to try more. Though they seem to be a little understaffed, service was friendly on two separate visits.

The place has the feel of a local neighborhood pub which has finished wood walls, flooring, & ceiling. There is seating at the full service bar, table seating along the walls, pool table in the back, a musician/karaoke stage in the front corner and TVs throughout the room. There is a patio area out back. They offer nightly entertainment such as DJs, karaoke (Tue), trivia (Wed), and live music. The food menu offers pub fare including appetizers, wings, chips & dips, salads, burger/sandwich plates, quesadillas, tacos, chicken & waffles, pasta, steaks, and desserts. The prices are moderate. The bar offers 12 beers on draft, beer bottles/cans, wine, cocktails & mixed drinks. I stopped by Fonzi's for dinner very recently. I sat up at the bar for prompt service. I got an ice water as I looked over the menu. For an appetizer, the Fried Raviolis ($12 plus tax) had 6 good size fried breaded raviolis filled with cheese including ricotta & seasoning) over a zesty marinara sauce. For dinner, the Basic Bit*h Burger ($18 plus tax) had a thick grilled beef patty with melted cheese, lettuce, tomato, onions, & pickle chips on a thick kaiser bun. The fries were lightly fried and very hot. Both the fried raviolis and thick juicy burger were very good and fries were decent. After I was done, I got the check with Upserve QR code, which was $32.10 with tax and before tip. I was able to pay the check on my phone, as the place was getting busier around 6:30 pm. The service was prompt sitting at the bar and I was able to watch some sports highlights on the TV. I would definitely come back here to try other food on their menu like the coconut shrimp, tacos, and cheese tortellini gratinati with chicken.
