Eating At This Local Tavern In New Hampshire Feels Like Going Out To Eat At Home

Eating out is always fun, but most of the time it feels like a special event. Hop in the car, drive to the restaurant, wait for a table, make your choice, and then enjoy a meal that’s unlike anything you’d make at home. We love that, but sometimes you just want something simple. That’s what you’ll find at this spot with locations in two different New Hampshire towns!

We’re aware that these uncertain times are limiting many aspects of life as we all practice social and physical distancing. While we’re continuing to feature destinations that make our state wonderful, we don’t expect or encourage you to go check them out immediately. We believe that supporting local attractions is important now more than ever and we hope our articles inspire your future adventures! And on that note, please nominate your favorite local business that could use some love right now: https://www.onlyinyourstate.com/nominate/

You could say that Fody's in Nashua, the original, got its start all the way back in 1833 when the building it resides in was built. In fact, the restaurant is in the oldest building in the city!

In 1901 the building was moved across the street, which required horses and steel chains. It was turned into an upscale hotel and restaurant and the tavern officially got its start!

If you're in the mood for something casual but more of a meal, opt for the burger with fries.

Dinner offers something a bit more refined, but somehow everything here still feels laid back. The steak is great.

Except maybe ordering a scotch at the bar. That's pretty cozy, too.
