    Beer list
    Trey T.

    Okay, so I don't know if it is a New England thing but breweries up here aren't up to par... 9 Beers on draft/list.... Maybe it's the lack of breweries so nobody has anyone to look to for advice. Beer subpar

    Tasty beer right in downtown Keene! Awesome! Cool looking joint inside, food truck in the back and when we visited her some great live music in the back. Will be back here again next year!

    Raspberry sour 16 oz and blackberry sours 16 and 12 oz.

    Absolutely amazing beer. Great vibe. Love the blackberry sour. Ample seating in the back. Music inside occasionally and excellent food truck. A must visit.

    Menu but there are specials too!

    What a great addition to down town Keene! Great beer, atmosphere and what completely awesome food. So very flavorful . The brewery has been open a couple months. There is a food truck out back, (keep reading). We went to the truck to order and pay for our food but they bring it to you in side. Great flavorful items including vegetarian. Friendly service relaxed brew house feel. I am coming back soon.

    If you are a fan of New England IPAs and double IPAs this is the place. Other good beers too. Ask to taste a few before you decide!

    Love it here, 10/10 recommend the sour. Food is good, nothing to write home about but the beers worth it.

    We had a really great time at Elm City last weekend. They…read morewere able to seat us downstairs so my mom wouldn't have to struggle with the stairs. Service was prompt. Waitstaff and hostess were kind. The pretzel they brought us as a starter was fantastic. Everyone was thrilled with the mustard and pub cheese. There were mixed reviews for our entrees, but the C monster iPa and peachy Keene kolsch were well enjoyed.

    You have one day in Keene to eat somewhere. You want history, local flavor in the food & drinks?…read moreThat's what we wanted. Checked the menu on yelp, and loved the variety. Upon arrival (be warned, gps will take you weird way through back lots, bit you will get there) was impressed by the beautiful historical structure it is housed in. Theres a lovely outdoor eating area, and plenty of indoor dining in various types of rooms, and a bar area. We opted for indoor dining, was seated in the main dining area. Its a beautiful space with restored wood work and craft beer decor. They brew their own beer. I had the Bird NEIPA, probably the smoothest IPA i have ever tasted. Loved it. Apps: OUTSTANDING! the spinach artichoke dip I guarantee is better than any you have ever had, anywhere. The bagel chips with everything seasoning compliments the dip perfectly. We also had the sweet potato corn jalapeño soup. Creamy, flavorful with the perfect spicy finish. Dinner: Took forever to get to us. Almost an hour from when we ordered. At 45 minutes our server said he dropped one of our meals, so he asked kitchen to make 2 new ones..so one wasn't just sitting under heat lamp. Very much appreciated, but even still..it should not have taken that long. My meal was ok. Peach BBQ pulled chicken sandwich, there wasn't much chicken. The bun was barely toasted, and not a broiche as advertised. Just a regular burger bun. So i couldnt hold the sandwich up without it drooping. I ate with fork, it was fine. Just a bit disappointed. The NY Strip however, was melt in your mouth good, the demi glaze sauce was amazing too. Would definitely come back here if ever in area again. It was that good, even with the bad timing. So many other menu items i would love to try

    Wanted to try something new while staying in Keene between ski days. Given the current cold snap,…read moreit was right around the corner from where I was staying. I was solo so sat at the bar. Bartender didn't impress. Not sure he was experienced. Give away was putting olives on martini containing grapefruit juice, not mention an even number of olives (bad luck). The menus were fancy and I ordered a shaved roast beef sandwich with au jus. Shaved roast beef was on par with Steak-umms. French fries were your typical bagged fries. All in all it was ok at best. Was hoping for a little more given the quality of the other restaurants in the area.

    I was there last night on a Friday and sat at the bar and had dinner with my partner. The food was…read moreexcellent. I had Mr. Miyagi. It was excellent. My partner had the short rib ravioli which was also excellent. We are whiskey/bourbon drinkers and the one thing that whiskey/burboun drinkers like in their old fashioned type drinks are single, large ice rocks and not the little broken ice chips that easily dilutes your drink. These are so easy to make yourself. Just buy an ice tray that makes them. The other thing whiskey/bourbon drinkers like in their drinks are the bourbon cherries and not just the plain maraschino cherries. Just two easy recommendations to elavate the experience. The staff was also very friendly.

    A lot of times in local places like this you'll get many local patrons that flood yelp with five…read morestar reviews, but they won't be warranted. There have been many times where I've tried restaurants that had a lot of stars, but the local people are just inflating the reviews. - this is not one of those places. The food here is absolutely phenomenal. The speakeasy vibe even adds to the ambience. The drinks are strong yet not too strong. This restaurant is so good that I am now planning a trip with my wife and my friends to come back up to this area to ski just so I can bring them here and have their mind blown with how great the food is here. if there was an option to give six stars, I would!

    So we heard about this place on one our trips to Keene. First time we ventured over, we picked a…read moreday when they were closed. Second time, we just stopped in for drinks. Third time I stopped in I had dinner. The bartenders and wait staff dress in 20's attire and the place has that prohibition feel to it. They make high-end cocktails but I usually stick with a gin and tonic. The menu is limited but the meal portion was generous. I had the chicken fried chicken. It was a huge piece of breaded chicken over mashed potatoes and asparagus topped with a traditional white gravy. Very tasty. We've added this establishment to our rotation when we visit Keene.
