Also act like they're on the brink of a breakdown when they're busy. Not a full bar, no knowledge of drinks besides beer. Weak beer list. Bland food. And the worst. Attitudes. Ever.

I went in on a Sunday afternoon and the place was not busy at all. I bellied up to the bar and was thrilled to see the local selection of draft beer. The bartender was more than friendly and we talked about all of the different beers they had on the menu. He offered samples of anything I wanted and so I opted for a flight. The beer was great, the atmosphere was amazing and the bartender fantastic. I had the "BReuben" for lunch and it was incredible! A bratwurst wrapped in pizza dough with sauerkraut and 1000 island dressing. SO GOOD! Fast forward to a week later. I brought the grandson there and we shared te Witches Warts (cheese curds) and they were awesome. The staff, as before, was more than friendly! I cannot recommend this place enough. Going back tonight!

We've been there MULTIPLE times before and seating at the bar has always been first come first serve. She spoke to us as though we'd never been to a bar before and was exceedingly rude. As she stomped up the stairs past us, we decided that we didn't want to frequent a place where we didn't even receive a polite hello upon walking in the door. We took our business to The Other Bakery in Tamworth instead and had a delicious and LOVELY time.

Our food was out without 15 minutes of ordering Menu: We ordered the lobster mushroom bisque and French onion soup, burger with onion rings, fish and chips, zucchini bread, and garden salad to share. The bisque was thick and generous with chunks of lobster in the middle in some sort of sherry sauce- my favorite. The burger was juicy but not particularly tender, and the haddock was flaky and crisp. A bit disappointed there was only a thin breading on the fish but the fries were great. The zucchini bread was great as a app and as a small dessert!

Onions Pub & Restaurant turned out to be one of those places that makes you glad you trusted the reviews. Housed in the historic Tilton Inn, the restaurant has plenty of character before you even open the menu. We chose the pub side, which has a fun, relaxed atmosphere and felt like exactly the right place to kick off the evening. We started by sharing the French onion soup, and I'm glad we did. It was outstanding and easily one of the better versions I've had in quite some time. My partner ordered one of the entrée salads, which looked fresh, generous, and every bit as satisfying as my fish and chips. I paired the fish and chips with a Smithwick's Irish Red Ale. The fish was crisp, flaky, and satisfying--the kind of pub meal that's hard to improve on. The service added just as much to the experience as the food. Our waitress was also tending bar and happily shared the story behind both the historic inn and the restaurant's unusual name. As we learned, "Onion" is actually an affectionate nickname for Bermudians, a nod to the island's once-famous onion exports. Since the owner is half Bermudan, the name fits perfectly. She was one part bartender, one part server, and one part docent, and it made the whole experience that much more enjoyable. Onions is a little quirky in all the right ways, with good food, welcoming people, and a setting that feels like it has stories to tell. If you're in the area--whether you're heading to a concert or just passing by on I-93--it's well worth the stop. Five stars.

The atmosphere was exactly what I was looking for, a beautiful, local restaurant that was not a chain restaurant. Out of all the meals I had this week on my trip, this was by far the best I've had.

Turns out, they're fairly new and a welcomed addition to an area that's primarily filled with biker bars. It's all outdoor seating and the vibes are on point. Gorgeous wood tables, larger wrap-around booths with built in fire pits, bar seating, tea lights, and more. They're also completely dog friendly so feel free to bring your furry friends! The prices are a little more "city" in the middle of the lake region which is the only downfall, but you get what you pay for and everything was incredible! We started with margaritas which were fresh and flavorful. At $15, it's the most I've paid for a margarita really anywhere besides NYC, but it was very good. You could taste (and see) the real lime juice - no mix here. We then decided to order a little bit of everything: from the infamous house fries, to tacos, and fried chicken sliders. Everything was AMAZING. Each item was fresh and you could taste all the flavors in each dish! I can't get over how incredible everything was! Staff was so sweet and friendly. We came on a Monday evening in the summer and got a table easily. It's first come first served but there are plenty of options and an area to just hang out while you wait for a table to open. Also, great playlist playing too! Great vibes all around - just wish we lived nearby to visit again!!

This review is based on the Blues-ology sports bar inside The Lodge At Belmont gaming center…read more Several of my coworkers who live in the area have told me that the restaurant & bar inside The Lodge serves pretty good food and drinks at very reasonable prices. I actually had a $25 gift certificate to The Lodge At Belmont from a local radio station in my possession for almost a year. I decided to use it tonight on a very rainy Monday night. Blues-ology was pretty quiet with just a handful of patrons here and one bartender running the floor. This bar has the atmosphere of a Southern style blue-sy themed sports bar with plenty of TVs (though not on) lined up along the high ceilings, big screen TV at the bar, digital jukebox, video game machines, electronic darts, and classic music memorabilia on the walls (Elvis Presley, Janis Joplin, Stones,...) . It sort of felt like being in Mississippi, but there was actually pop and r&b playing over the speakers, so I felt at right at home in Central NH. There's seating up at the bar and table seating. A small group of women (no hubbys) at the next table were really having a great time playing several rounds of electronic darts over beers. The food menu is the standard pub fare of appetizers, burgers, sandwiches, pizza, salads, chili, chicken tenders, and steak tips. The bar is fully stocked and several beers on tap and bottle are offered. Miller Lite bottles are $2 all the time. See the menu at http://www.thelodgeatbelmont.com/index.php?option=com_phocamenu&view=dailymenu&Itemid=71 I ordered the Nachos with Chili ($8.99), The Lodge Club ($8.99) with hand cut fries & pickles, and a Hawaiian Pizza ($8.99). The Nachos were HUGE, a pile of warm crispy tortilla chips piled with a meat & bean chili, jalepenos, melted cheese, onions, green peppers, and salsa & sour cream on the side. The nachos were a big meal in itself and I was almost already full by the time the other food items arrived. The Lodge Club (triple decker) had plenty of thin sliced deli ham & turkey, crisp bacon strps, crisp lettuce, tomato slices, cheese, and mayo on toasted bread. The hand cut fries were on the soft side though and not salted (thanks!). The Hawaiian Pizza (10") with a firm chewy crust very generous amounts of thin sliced deli ham, pineapple, & melted cheese & sauce piled on good! The bartender was courteous and the service was laid back with staged delivery of the food to my table. I had the pizza boxed to go and given a box to pack up much of the food I did not finish. The $25 gift certificate was honored and the remaining total was only $4.40 with tax and before tip. Overall, I got plenty of food with my gift certificate. 3.70/5.00 stars

Nice to see the restaurant busy but a bit disappointed in their preparations as heard many items had run out when they typically only take reservations so should have been prepared.
