My wife has continuing ed. class in Ayer, MA and we are staying in Devens. Is there anything worth checking out within 15-20 minute drive. I will have the baby with me so I don't wanna go too far.
My two favorites around that area are Groton Market and Acton Wine and Spirits. Both have very good selections and your almost guaranteed to find something worth while (I don't think I've ever been into either of them when they haven't had Cantillon). Groton is a little more out of the way but usually seems to have something worth while. Also of note is Colonial Spirits of Acton, I've never been in but I hear it's decent.
If looking for a beer-centric place to grab a bite, the Horseshoe Pub in Hudson will fit the bill. http://www.horseshoepub.com/ BTW the dining room is very kid/baby friendly. Per google maps...30 min drive from Devens.
