    The food was amazing, good size portions. Tyler our waiter was very knowledgeable and friendly. TSQ is my new favorite restaurant in the Manchester / Bedford area

    Tavern In The Square Bedford NH opened at Market & Main adjacent to The Friendly Toast. This is the second NH location with the other location at Tuscan Village in Salem. Not connected to "Taverne On The Square" (TOTS) in Claremont. This casual restaurant & bar offers two levels with a full service bar with seating & TVs overhead, booths, high tops, and table seating on the main level and the upstairs level with another full service bar and more seating, capacity 566 and rooftop patio. Like the other locations, this location offers a food menu with burgers, sandwiches, salads, bowls, small plates, appetizers, wings, main entrees (steak, chicken, seafood, pasta), desserts, and a kids menu. The bar offers around 32 beers on tap, wine, sparkling wine, mixed drinks, and cocktails. I stopped by TSQ (that's their chosen acronym and not the other one, wink*) in Bedford NH for an early dinner and arrived here on the grand opening day at 4pm. There was a short queue of folks getting seated at a table, but I headed to the main bar and took a seat. The upstairs level will only be open on Fridays and Saturdays during the opening phase before extending the hours. A bartender arrived promptly to give me a menu and I got an ice water. This bartender has served me previously at another restaurant & bar in Concord NH, which is closed. The TVs were showing sports highlights. For an entree, the Grilled Chicken Avocado Club ($17.50 plus tax) was a thick sandwich layered with lettuce, tomato, tender grilled chicken breast, avocado & chipotle aioli between slices of Texas toast. The side of warm russet chips were seasoned and crunchy. After I was done, I requested the check and was informed I had a $10 reward on my TSQ rewards account, which I used and the new total was $8.14 with tax and before tip. I used a gift card too. The food overall tasted pretty good with two bartenders checking up on things and the manager serving my entree. In all, I enjoyed a good sandwich and chips and will be back to watch some NFL games soon.

    Exterior, it's located in the Bedford Mall.

    The restaurant looks fantastic and the interior is quite impressive. Lots of TVs of high quality showing sports of many types. Furniture is high quality and the vibe is great Service is good, but our waitress made a couple of mistakes. Expect long waits on the weekend. The reason for the three stars is the high cost of the food does not mirror the actual food quality. The skillet breakfast option was really lacking meat, a couple of pieces of lame bacon. My partner got the salmon bowl for $25 and the salmon ingredients were below average.

    The food, drinks, and service were all phenomenal. It gets quite loud in the downstairs restaurant when it's completely full. We had someone with food allergies and they took it incredibly serious. Definitely will go back. We had Natalie C as our server. She was absolutely fantastic with our large group.

    Stopped by Tavern in the Square for lunch today with my daughter. Since it was crowded--and they've only been open a couple of months--we sat at the bar, which worked out great. We shared the chicken quesadillas, rosemary parmesan fries, and crispy chicken dumplings, and every dish was delicious. Portions were very generous, with enough to take home for leftovers. The bartender/server was attentive, and it was clear they had enough staff working together to keep everything running smoothly despite the crowd. I'm already planning to return this Sunday for a friends birthday dinner and can't wait to try the General Tso's chicken... or maybe the steak tips--haven't decided yet! The only small note is that the ambience could have been a bit more festive for Christmas, though they did have a pretty Christmas tree by the entrance that nicely welcomed guests.

    Great food and great ambiance. We walked in and were seated right away which is pretty fortunate for a Saturday afternoon. Our server was very friendly and food was served fast.

    I've been to several other TSQ restaurants-first time in Bedford. I found it to have a similar set-up as the restaurant in Salem. Very nice. Large bar. Plenty of seating-two floors as well as rooftop when the weather permits. My friend and I sat at the bar on a busy late Saturday afternoon. We got excellent service from 2 of the bartenders, who greeted us immediately and got drinks for us, can't remember their names. We are in the Tavern Insider program, so we were able to get Cornflake Fried Chicken Tenders from the Starter section free of charge, with the purchase of an entree. This is a very large portion which we took home. For dinner, we both chose Mesquite Chicken Bowls. The portion size is generous, so we had more food to take home! The ingredients were all fresh, but I found the chicken to be slightly dry. I never hesitate to go to any TSZ. The restaurants have a great menu, I've never had anything I didn't like. There is a full bar with a very good draft beer selection. Shared parking lot. Recommended.

They have a full bar and our favorite bartender Crystal was working that night. She's the best! We had the pleasure of meeting the owner Harp who wanted to make sure we were enjoying ourselves. We like your place and will definitely be back!

    Zo's Place opened on August 16, 2025 in Manchester in the former Olive Haven Pizza/Elm House of…read morePizza/Theos building on lower Elm Street. This is their second NH location, with the Nashua location already open since April 2024. Zo's Place is also operated by the same owners as Niki's Famous Roast Beef in North Andover, MA. The menu offerings here include roast beef sandwiches, subs, pizza, pasta, dinner plates, appetizers, rice bowls, and cold drinks (Coke products) from the cooler. The place is order/pick-up at the counter or eat-in, scan QR code for menu. There is a casual dining room to the right and a full service bar/lounge to the far right. There are flatscreen TVs in the dining room and lounge showing sports. I stopped by Zo's Place in Manchester on opening day since I wanted a Northshore roast beef sandwich and pasta for takeout. The place was not too busy when I arrived here around 3pm. After scanning the menu, I quickly realized that the Nashua and Manchester locations operate on different POS systems and the pricing is generally lower in Nashua. I ordered a Eggplant with Spaghetti ($13.99 plus tax) and a Jr Roast Beef ($6.49 special) with cheese (add $1.00), horseradish, mayo and James River BBQ sauce. My order was all set to go in about 12 minutes. I raced home to enjoy the food. The Jr Roast Beef was a bit messy from being wrapped, a decent mound of soft medium well roast beef topped with an American cheese slice and smothered with mayo, horseradish, spicy James River BBQ sauce between a toasted brioche bun. I know some folks would prefer the roast beef bloody rare, but I was all good with the medium well roast beef. The pasta was packed in a foil container with soft spaghetti, thick marinara sauce and small pieces of thin breaded eggplant. The baked garlic toast was buttery sub roll halves. The owner was actually in the building. They did a great job making this place feel inviting and relaxed. I would definitely come back again to order one of their hot subs and a specialty pizza.

The service was okay, the Hostess was quick to find us a table which was awesome since we were a party of six, so that was super appreciated. We sat down and drink orders were pretty quick but they did take awhile, which shows that they really do make everything from scratch. Their drink menu had some really cool, unique drinks on it and I honestly wanted to try them all. If they had a flight, I would have absolutely not been able to say no. We were super impressed with their bourbon selection, and they actually had pretty good prices too, so we were able to try some great options. It was the perfect night cap for our group to indulge in one last drink before bed. Awesome spot to chill and chit chat.
