Then the "regulars" showed up: drunk old men who thought harassing two women was entertainment. Their material? Misogynistic one-liners straight out of the 1970s. The best part? The bartender didn't step in, didn't shut it down -- just sat back and laughed like it was the comedy show of the year. Real classy. If management cares at all about creating a safe, welcoming environment, they should start by training their staff to protect all customers, not just pander to townie regulars. Until then, if you're a woman who expects basic respect, stay far away.

The barn has big wide open garage doors overlooking a large grassy yard area and pond outside. Inside has a mix of tables, high top bar tables, and bar seating. The outside has a mix of tables on a large back deck, and picnic tables. They even have some lawn games. Very family friendly place. The menu is simple, think burgers, pizza, pasta, fries, and some appetizers and salads They have a full bar and cocktail menu. The food is good, the service is friendly...except for some teenagers who need a little more customer service training, but they are young and haven't been coached enough yet. For example...the teenage hostess, before even saying hello, good evening, welcome, asked us if we had a reservation, without a shred of a smile. We said no, and she walked us to a table, at which time we decided to sit at the bar for better view of the outside space, and slightly further from the live music. Keep in mind there is no air conditioning. The evening we went it was hot. We sat at the bar, and the sun was to my back through the open garage doors. It was so beautiful, and although there were fans, they didn't do much to cool it off. I love the heat so I didn't mind. I really like the vibe here...very casual, beautiful rustic setting. I will definitely be back on another beautiful summer evening.

The owner was the only person taking orders and serving. After being served, at least 45 minutes after placing our orders, on paper plates, she disappeared into the kitchen. Waited 20 minutes into our meal to ask for salt and pepper. She brought them over while talking on her cell phone, and my husband had to show her his empty glass to order a refill....which came 15 minutes later. So, in a nutshell, disappointing.....not great food, not great service. Will not be returning.

I will also say knowing this is a sports bar like spot I didn't have the highest expectations to begin with. Which I appreciate when a spot surprises me and blows those expectations out of the water. That did not occur here! It was our second choice for dinner tonight due to our first spot having a wait. So firstly for a positive I will say Deck House does have ample parking and lots of space for people to eat so that's a plus. Also if you are looking for a classic sports bar vibes with many tvs on the walls and plenty of bar seats this may be your spot to catch a game with friends. Overall for our experience service was slow, they were friendly it just took a long time for food and other tables received their food much faster after shorter waits. My wife got the Braised Beef Short Rib and it was cooked well and was extremely tender, she enjoyed it very much. I got the Lobster Mac which was good but much smaller than I expected and some lobster pieces were tough due to their large size. Our meals and then two margaritas which were decent were almost $100. We did get some of the more expensive meals off the menu but I do believe for the price we could get better food elsewhere. I'm glad we tried it but nothing would be worth revisiting for. Hopefully if you visit you have a better experience!

I live relatively close, so it just made sense to try it out a few times. The service was excellent, how-f***ing-ever, I've made 100% sure I didn't go on days/nights this place was slammed because I'm way too old for bar fights caused by people with poor emotional regulation. The bartenders at these quieter times were on point - quick & responsive - one even decided to go braless with a see-through shirt for the old grey hair dudes at the bar on a relatively quiet night. Very classy & thoughtful. The ambience is that of a barn. Legit. This place is so run down that if it was a car, cops wouldn't even want to pull it over. It's definitely one of those places you go to get insufferably drunk and wake up in the morning with some new bugs living in/on your crotch, maybe even a big one in your bed - but that's half the fun(?) if you're into that sorta thing. I'm not, but to each their own. On the off chance I go back, I'm wearing a full body MOP suit so I can leave almost as clean as I came in. Honestly - it's filthy, but I do recommend it for pool, food & drinks.

We tried the sweet thai chili wings, Buxton Mac Tacos (same ingredients as a Big Mac) and the raspberry cheesecake chimis. We ordered at the bar and were given a buzzer. It took an exceptionally long time to get the food. When I went up to order a refill on by drink, the bartender said "Your food has been done". My buzzer never went off. We determined it had malfunctioned. I get that they are super busy back there, but for the amount of time that had passed, I would have expected someone to at least holler over to let us know we should come get our food, rather than let it sit there and get cold. Keeping in mind that it had been sitting for a while, it wasn't bad. The wing sauce didn't really stick to the meat, rather just puddled up in the basket, but if you rolled them around in the sauce, the flavor itself was good. The tacos were bigger and more filling than I ever thought they'd be. I'd get those again. The star of the show were the deep friend raspberry cheesecake chimis. SO GOOD! I've actually craved them to a point where I may go back to the bar just to eat those! LOL Other than the buzzer issue, we had a great time at Skip's that night. There was a band playing and still no cover charge was paid at the door. We had a fun night of food, drinks, and dancing. I'd definitely return.

I've been here a couple of times now, and the food and service have never disappointed. Today, the Cubano was juicy and flavorful, and the house fries are seasoned in a bistro rub that's salty and smoky, golden fried to perfection with a crunchy shell and a soft, pillowy center. This is elevated pub fare at its finest, with good portions, fair pricing and a great atmosphere in a restaurant that straddles the middle ground between the coastal towns around Portland and the start of the lakes region in Windham. This place is especially magical in the summer, when the greenery is back and the weather is consistently nice, but I expect it will get busier and busier at peak season, especially as word gets out... and why wouldn't it? Who doesn't want to grab a bite and a drink while soaking up the light reflecting off a lazy river ? The good news is, they are taking reservations, so you can always call ahead to lock in a table on the weekends. Aside from the riverside back deck, they have a full bar with seating, inside tables, and another outdoor patio area in the front along Main Street (aka River Road). Red City Ale House hits the mark for all occasions... I feel perfectly welcome and accommodated coming in to dine solo, I could easily see this being a casual date-night destination, and I could also see it accommodating families or larger groups. Whatever your occasion, RCAH is a road trip worthy destination.
