Thirsty Moose Taphouse

Good food with a very diverse menu. It's a large open bar with lots of TVs but can get loud on a busy night. Kitchen was a bit slow but everything did come out hot. Really enjoyed the fried brussel sprouts as an appetizer. Good for a casual meal with friends or family.

The atmosphere of this place was extremely nice, being slightly cold with delicious smells of fresh food coming at us from every direction. We got seated and our waitress was very polite. We put in our orders and waited for a surprisingly long time for 3 orders. Our other group, however, got their food at a reasonable time. The food was hot and fresh, with my favorite food being their custom Mac-cheese. The nachos were slightly soggy, however, and some of the food could use more seasoning. Would recommend coming here, especially on a cold weekend night.

Thirsty Moose Tap House in Merrimack is a solid choice for hanging out with friends over tap brew and a small plate meal. There are plenty of large screen televisions here to satisfy any sports fan. To say the room is spacious is an understatement; try cavernous. You could play regulation basketball in here, so one could expect it to get loud when the place is near capacity. My review is based on a midday midweek visit when only a handful of tables were occupied and a similar number of patrons were seated at the bar. The menu here is a notch above standard pub fare and has a nice variety of options. The Bullwinkle Burger, cooked to order, was excellently tasty and juicy; the Fries were very good. There are a great many excellent brews on tap so don’t be afraid to ask for a recommendations.

This place is better suited for large groups instead of single diners. Large groups can focus on the epic amount of TV’s and beer, the insanely loud chatter, and less about the flavorless food and inept service. I arrived at 7:20, told the hostess I was alone. She offered me the bar, which is fine, but I don’t drink, and I didn’t want to take a chair from a later group. The Hostess seemed really put off that I requested a table instead, then sat me at thee most precarious table in the entire Taphouse…dead center under a row of TV’s, sat within 12” of a much larger group of guys. It felt awkward and uncomfortable immediately. I should have advocated for myself and requested elsewhere, but it was a bit busy, and her prior reaction told me that it wouldn’t have been a pleasant response. So, I

Absolutely amazing food, service and customer service. I’ve eaten here often and never had a bad experience. Ordered a buffalo chicken sandwich and pulled pork sliders and got delivery, it arrived and there was barely any pulled pork and sauce and no buffalo on my sandwich. I called and they got the manager on the phone super quick. The manager had our meals remade and delivered to us in a very quick amount of time and it was perfect. They outdid themselves with making things right and were so nice and apologetic about the whole situation! Thank you Thirsty Moose. I’ll be back again soon!
