About

A bar with
a pulse.

The Nerve is a live-music bar on Washington Street — the kind of room where the amps are louder than the TVs and the stage matters more than the menu. No kitchen, no gimmicks. Just a room built for the sound.

We host Haverhill's open mic on Thursdays, local and touring bands on Fridays, and the loudest karaoke in the Merrimack Valley on Saturdays. Whether you're stepping on stage for the first time or the hundredth, we save you a spot at the mic.
