The Spot is just what Nashua needed and a great addition to downtown. It provides a great vibe and…read morea perfect alcohol-free sanctuary, right on Main Street. It's trendy, super-clean, and feels like you're in a cozy creative living room. The Spot features an awesome menu of delicious mocktails, specialty coffee, sandwiches, salads, and Kava, a naturally calming drink made from the root of a plant native to the South Pacific. They offer incredible live music from local artists, open mic nights, karaoke and a remarkably supportive crowd. The staff treats everyone like family and makes you feel immediately at home. It's the ultimate local place for all ages. If you want to grab a bite to eat, sip on an amazing mocktail, enjoy local musicians, sing your heart out or just relax with friends check out The Spot! ~Sandy & Brian

Truly love smaller music hall experiences where one is nearly on the stage with performers. This…read moreintimate location has smaller stage and two seat high tops following a short standing area depending on your preference. Bar has good mix of special cocktails, beers and sodas to choose from with very efficient staff. While there is no dedicated parking, with the smaller venue it was not a concern with the shared lot or street parking within a hundred yards or so of the venue. Likely not to catch big talent here, but great for local or up and coming talent to be up close and personal with the performers Great night and experience with all three tonight!

The sound is crystal clear, the lights always set the mood just right, and you can actually feel how much the team cares about giving both the artists and the audience a great experience. The space is cozy without feeling crowded, and the crowd always brings good vibes. Whether it's a big touring act or one of the local bands they feature, I've never left disappointed. The bartenders are awesome, everything runs smoothly, and the atmosphere just makes every night memorable. If you're into live music, do yourself a favor and catch a show here. Check their lineup because there's always something worth seeing, and once you go, you'll definitely want to come back.

The Sampas Pavilion, located along the Merrimack River across from Heritage Farms Ice Cream, is…read morepart of the Lowell Heritage State Park. This outdoor music and performance venue is home to several summer events like the African Festival (http://www.africanfestivallowell.org), Fourth of July Fireworks, Southeast Asian Water Festival (http://www.lowellwaterfestival.org), Monday Night Concert Series (http://members.aol.com/hf163/music1/index.htm), and New England Motorcycle Nights on Tuesdays (http://www.motorcyclenight.com/). Most events hosted at this location are free with no formal entrance for admission and are generally appropriate for all ages. Primary seating is on the lawn, so bring your blankets and chairs if you're attending a concert. There are a few park benches around the perimeter of the sidewalk, but I wouldn't count on them for seating. Since this is part of a larger park, there are trails regularly used by dog walkers and joggers that run around the Pavilion. There is a small parking lot near the pavilion and parking is available along the street. For larger events, shuttles may be available to encourage parking in other areas- check the event website for suggestions regarding parking. It's a nicely kept park with plenty of space to roam. Since it is an outdoor venue, some performances may be subject to cancellation due to weather. Check the event website for information regarding rain plans.

Definitely a surprise to the regular clientele. Look for the roadside sign into their large parking lot. The building is set way back. Signs every where instruct patrons. A large over head sign lets you know to "order here." No waitress service. Belly up to the bar and place food and drink orders with the bartender. A sign at the bar instructs "order, pay, move outta the way!" I just love this. Signs on the tables instruct "Do not drag tables". however, you can pick them up and move them. Just don't drag them. For our crowd, we did have to move a couple tables and chairs. There is a jukebox on one wall and I must say the clientele have excellent musical taste. This is absolutely my kind of bar. We had some fun conversations with locals. The bartender was friendly and efficient. All together an enjoyable visit. Besides soft drinks, bottled beers and a full bar, the food menu is pretty extensive. Apps, sandwiches, salad, entrees. With live music, pool table and darts this is a good neighborhood bar.

We were greeted by the hostess who took us to our seats. (We sat inside because it had been on and off sprinkling). Our server, Mia, was AMAZING. Sweet, professional, attentive, always had a smile and exactly what you would wish to have as your wait staff. My daughter is 18, so she got the Cos-No-Politan haha. Love the pun and she loved the drink. I got a classic margarita which was made very well. We decided on apps to share. We got the meatballs, arancini, truffle fries and calamari. The meatballs were ok, but we felt they were under seasoned and a little on the dry side, even with all the sauce. The Arancini was delicious. The truffle fries were good (we really enjoyed the garlic aoli) and they came in a cute fry box on a plate. The calamari was fantastic. It also came with fried jalapenos mixed in. I did not see note of that on the menu, so for any allergies I would note that. However, that little spice mixed with the honey they had made for a great bite and we would order this again. Afterwards, we walked down to the Sam Adams beer garden where there were fire pits, music (a live band) and a great time to be had. Overall, the place was a great dinner choice for my daughter and I to celebrate this special milestone.

As someone who enjoys rooftop bars and a well-made martini, I came in with high expectations. I…read moreeven looked over the menu beforehand and planned to order the "Dirty but Classy" martini. The experience started off great. The hostess downstairs was welcoming, friendly, and gave clear directions to the rooftop--10/10. After taking the elevator up, we were greeted by another equally warm and professional host. Another 10/10. Unfortunately, that's where the positive experience ended. We sat at the bar, and the bartender spent most of his time with his back to the guests. We waited... and waited... and waited before finally having to get his attention ourselves. That's never a good sign. I ordered the "Dirty but Classy" martini and was told they didn't have the ingredients--but they could still make it. What does that even mean? Either you have the ingredients or you don't. After a confusing back-and-forth, it became clear they couldn't make it at all, so I settled for a standard dirty martini. It was terrible. No olive oil-infused vodka. No prosciutto & Gorgonzola stuffed olives. Poorly balanced and badly mixed. If you're someone who actually enjoys martinis, you know immediately when the person behind the bar has no idea how to make one. This bartender may be handsome, but the lights were on and nobody was home. He lacked both the personality and the skill to be working behind a cocktail bar. We also ordered the wagyu dumplings. Calling the filling "wagyu" felt generous--it tasted like ordinary ground beef. Any flavor the meat might have had was completely buried under an overly sweet sauce. The wagyu certainly wasn't the star of the dish. Overall, I left more annoyed than impressed. The hosts were fantastic, but the bar experience completely overshadowed the evening. I'll probably give the place another chance because first impressions aren't always the whole story--but I'll absolutely make sure I'm sitting with a different bartender next time.
