Washington Street Shoe District
Bars, breweries, and nightlife in Washington Street Shoe District, Haverhill
Washington Street Shoe District takes its name from Haverhill, Massachusetts's history as one of New England's major shoe-manufacturing centers in the 19th and early 20th centuries - the old factory buildings along this stretch have since found new uses. Its 15-venue bar scene today is led by classic bars and sports bars, with The Tap Brewing Company and Essex Street Grille among the more notable names in a modest Merrimack Valley scene.
