14 Best Pubs near Lowell

“A historic tavern turned into a grungy dive bar - and it works!

The food is amazing. The Poe burger is easily one of the best I've had in my life. Didn't get around to try the drinks, but they do have a decent collection of beers on tap.

The vibes are chill. They have both bar and table seating, service at the former is splendid. There's some historical curiosities here and there - perhaps most famously the belt fans above, but also some tidbits behind the bar. Ask your server!

All in all, worth writing home about.“

“Amazing food and great chef“

“First, I'd like to say I tried contacting Charlie's before I went this route. I didn't get a response. I've been to Charlie's with a group of 8 for lunch. It was very good. We got what we ordered and everything was delivered together. On Friday, 4 of us went there for food and drinks before the Folk Festival. Okay, Corona, I asked for lime. Didn’t get it. No biggie. Two of us ordered hamburgers, one ordered a tuna sandwich, the 4th haddock. Nope, no haddock. Okay, sirloin tips. Nope. Country chicken. Nope and don't know what it is. Okay....I'll have a hamburger. 15 minutes after (mind you 25 minutes have already passed), sorry. no buns. How about white bread! 40 minutes after initial order, hamburger on white bread and something resembling a tuna sandwich (?) arrives. We felt sorry for the waitress. But definitely poor service. I'm sorry I have to post this, I like helping local businesses, but lack of listed items was horrible.“

“My aunt and I enjoyed lunch at the Old Court Pub. The restaurant was fairly empty, but it was Saturday afternoon. The service was great! Our server was very attentive and so friendly. The food was very good. I had a huge plate of bangers and mash with baked beans, and my aunt had enormous turkey club sandwich and fries. Mind you, my aunt usually eats her entire lunch when we go out. Not this time! We both took food home. The cherry on top: they poured a great pint of Guiness. If you are in downtown Lowell and looking for a good place to eat, give Old Court Pub a try!“

“Have always enjoyed our trips to the IV Seasons. Haddock is excellant as is their beef pot roast, (2 of my favorites! Comfy atmosphere, great wait staff !“

“Rad!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!“

“Did not order food- been a while since I went here. The place seemed to have a old and new crowd to it. Bartender was new (used to a female bartender there) was not thrilled with my drink but the dude was nice. Had to move around but an ok visit“

“prompt service, clean & great steak tips“

“Many great years of shows“

“The place to be. Amazing genuine people.“

“I’ve been coming here for years and it’s time to share. Casual bar with great comfort food. They have specials during the week and activities like trivia Monday nights. Bar tenders always a pleasure. Everything I’ve had has tasted great. I’ve had a lot more as I come here a few times a month. Pizza, subs, wings, fried dough, tacos and more. A must try when you’re in the area. Some nights can get busy so be aware of the crowd.“

“Stopped in for lunch and was not disappointed. Staff was friendly and attentive, and the food was amazing. Had one of the specials, fried chicken pot pie. I've had me many of chicken pot pies, but this one was simply one of, if not the, best I've ever had. I can't wait to come back.“

“I'm not a big fan of chain restaurants but decided to eat here at the last minute. The French onion soup was really good. I like that they offer cheese and crackers. The prime rib was slightly over cooked but still good. The bar staff is very friendly.“

“we just got take out from the Billerica 99s and our meal was wrong . We called just to see if they could make us another one and they went above and beyond to make up for it. They made us a whole new order, gave our money back and gave us a free dessert! I l know things happen and food isn't always the way it should be during take out but I appreciate the fact they went above what they could of to replace it. @billerica“
