Enjoy the surprisingly good and very affordable selection of craft beer at this 80-year old bar that graces downtown Fitchburg's Upper Common. Lots of classic bar feel, including tin ceilings and well worn and slightly creaky wooden booths. The crowd is friendly, but be prepared to cheer on the Pats if they happen to be playing.
Martini bar, nightclub, vittles.
Hotel attached to Great Wolf Lodge Waterpark. After check-out, guests may continue to enjoy the water park facilities until closing time. Late check-out at 2 PM is available for an additional fee.
By train
There is an MBTA Commuter rail station in downtown Fitchburg. Trains are infrequent on weekends.
By car
Should be easy enough, the traffic generally isn't too bad. Be aware that this is a New England city that grew up before the automobile so there is no street grid and the streets can be narrow.
Choose an airport to see hotels, stations, taxi ranks and car rental desks around it.
