PALMERS RESTAURANT & TAVERN

PERMANENTLY CLOSED

ABOUT

NOTE: Palmers Restaurant & Tavern permanently closed in May 2025 after 30 years in business. The restaurant was located at 18 Elm Street in Andover, Massachusetts (not Palmer, MA as listed in venues.md). The venue featured live music in its first-floor Tavern on Thursday, Friday, and Saturday nights, with genres spanning rock, country, pop, and acoustic covers.

WHAT TO EXPECT

When operating, visitors could expect a full-service restaurant with a tavern-level bar hosting live bands multiple nights per week. The venue was known for its live music programming and was a fixture in Andover's dining and entertainment scene.

HISTORY

Palmers Restaurant & Tavern operated for approximately 30 years in Andover before closing in 2025. The closure was covered by NBC Boston and other local media outlets. The venue's city listing in venues.md (Palmer, MA) appears to be incorrect -- the restaurant was in Andover, MA.
