Restaurants in Somerville with more options just minutes away

Downtown is where Manchester’s most popular eateries are, like The Crown Tavern. “They have very, very fresh food, and they have a great outdoor patio,” says Camille Craffey, a broker with Keller Williams Metropolitan, specializing in antique properties, who has been working in the industry for 5 years. “In the summer, it's really beautiful. They have it lit up with string lights.” While Somerville is mostly residential, there are some restaurants, including:

  • El Tenampa Mexican Restaurant for nachos and margaritas
  • Salona Bar & Grill for American comfort food and seasonal cocktails
  • The Alibi Lounge After Math for live performances and tavern fare
For more eateries and retailers, The Mall of New Hampshire is about 2 miles away. “It's all of the shopping for Manchester as far as retail and things like that,” says Craffey.
