Moving to Lowell

Submitted by Quick_Committee3261 t3_10cp0td in LowellMA

Hi Lowell! My roommate and I are moving to Lowell in March. Where are some good places to live? Where are the best restaurants and bars (any LGBTQ+ friendly places)? How’s the night life overall? What do you like to do in your free time there? Give me everything you’ve got about this city! It would be very appreciated.

Living downtown is great.

I'd recommend Warp and Weft as a great restaurant to check out.

Second Warp and Weft. Excellent food, great/friendly service, live music. They have a huge rainbow flag draped at the front window and saw plenty of LGBT+ from both customers and servers alike.

Just to be specific: warp and weft is welcoming and lgbtqia friendly in its way - I can’t think of any of the more established restaurants downtown that aren’t, really - but it isn’t what I would call a gay bar. Downtown doesn’t really have one, and it’s a shame.

I suggest looking into The Keep and The Safe too. Bit younger crowd

Panela is a great restaurant, Columbian with a twist, they also have free Salsa lessons on Thursday nights.

On that note, Jimmie’s halal has solid food, and Egyptian Grill the best gyro you will ever eat. Mill 5 and the Luna are also a lot of fun

Jimmie's got great fries and he's such a nice guy and a real character. I lived next door when he opened and everytime i came in he'd make me a small smoothie with my sub. I gotta get over there some time to catch up with him

If you like art go to Western Ave Studios. Lots of awesome art and Navigation brewery is downstairs. Also Mill No 5 in downtown lowell has alot of cool shops and stores and an old-school movie theater. Lots of amazing food in downtown lowell as well if your into Cambodian, Vietnamese and Thai food. If you like Pho I recommend Phnom Penh on Westford St. The best oxtail Pho in the city.
