27 Best Bar & Grill near Derry

“Last night, we visited the Foundation Tavern in Derry, NH. The parking lot was small and tight, which may make alternative parking options preferable. Upon entering, the music volume was high; as a hearing aid user, I found the sound sensitivity increased. The hostess confirmed there was live music and accommodated our request to be seated away from it, so we sat in the main dining room.
Our server introduced herself and promptly took our drink order, despite the dining room being busy and her serving alone. Having dined at many restaurants over the years, we were understanding of any minor mistakes. I requested a different bottle of wine after initially ordering the wrong one, and the change was handled without issue.
When she inquired about appetizers, we declined and ordered dinner. My wife chose the burger, while I selected the Bolognese. Our meals arrived quickly; however, my wife's burger was served without a bun. This was due to the assumption that her side salad indicated a low-carb preference instead of fries. Morgan, our server, checked in and corrected the plating promptly. My wife noted that the burger was especially well-prepared, and I found the Bolognese comparable to those of high-end Italian restaurants.
The evening was enjoyable overall. Other customers contributed to a positive atmosphere, including a nearby birthday celebration and a guest complimenting my wife's outfit.
Pricing was about 20% higher than average local restaurants, which we considered justified based on the quality provided.
We will visit again. Probably on a Wednesday night because they offer half price bottle of wine with dinner and we are wind drinkers.“

“My friends and I ordered a special, the Ribeye., w/asparus and mine had their specialty mashed potato. We all agreed how amazingly tender and cooked to perfection they were. Asparagus was the best I've had in a long time and the Mashed so yummy I kept wanting more.“

“Great manager. We held a party for 30. Food was wonderful and the manager Paige provided great service.“

“I just had pizza from there a few days ago. They have a big Mac pizza there that is great. Had a beer while I waited for it. I went one other night and they had a girl singing, she was very good. It's too bad they don't have any booth seats there, I don't “

“Great place nice people bar & field“

“I was just here today, among many other times, but I have so much respect for the owner and her staff. The food is quick, the drinks are good, but due to the location, there is an influx of hungry folks. A gentleman came in asking for French fries, although I offered to pay for his fries but was asked not to, the way this woman handled the situation was impeccable. She treated him like an actual human when most do not. She packed up his fries, got him anything he needed, and even threw in some extra fries for him to have. I have NEVER had a bad experience here and this just solidified for me the integrity and honor this owner has. Love being here!!!!“

“Its a bit on the loud side but its a bar lol 😆 the pool room was being used but it did look like fun! A rum and coke was $9.50 and the people were all dancing and having fun. It seemed they played a lot of old r&b and rap but that could be because of the dj that was playing. I didnt try the food so I dont know it'll its good or not but overall 4 stars based on what I experienced!“

“I had the absolute pleasure of dining at Murphy’s Taproom recently, and I have to give a special shout-out to Eliot for making our experience truly unforgettable. From the moment we walked in, she greeted us with a warm smile and immediately made us feel at home. Her knowledge of the menu was impressive, offering spot-on recommendations that perfectly suited our tastes.

Eliot’s attention to detail was second to none — she checked in at just the right moments, ensuring we had everything we needed without being intrusive. Whether it was refilling our drinks or checking in on our meal, her service was seamless and made us feel like VIPs.

Beyond the excellent service, her positive energy and genuine friendliness were contagious. She took the time to chat with us about the beer selection, and you could tell she was passionate about what she does. It's rare to find such exceptional service these days, and Eliot truly set the bar.

If you're at Murphy's Taproom, definitely ask for Eliot — her service will elevate your entire experience!“

“Was very pleased with the wait staff and management. They went out of their way to accommodate us after small complication. That is a rare occurrence in today's restaurants.“
